Tracheal cuff pressure and complications after surgery
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study will check if keeping the tube in your windpipe at a certain pressure during surgery can help prevent problems like hoarseness or a sore throat after your procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You are having planned surgery that requires a breathing tube placed through your mouth.
- Your surgery is not an emergency or urgent procedure.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your surgery does not involve your heart, head, neck, or upper spine, and you will not be placed on your side or stomach during the operation.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two ways of checking the pressure of the breathing tube in your windpipe during surgery: the standard method (feeling the cuff by hand) versus a special measuring device. The goal is to see if using the device reduces problems after surgery, like sore throat or other side effects.
This trial tests whether different ways of measuring the pressure in the breathing tube during breast surgery can reduce complications after surgery. It compares standard methods to a more precise one to see which works better.
This study tests whether adjusting the air pressure in a breathing tube used during ear surgery reduces sore throats and other side effects. It may help find the safest way to use this tube for people having ear surgery.
This study tests if a special training method for doctors (called loss-of-resistance syringe training) can help keep the air pressure in your breathing tube at a safe level during anesthesia. The goal is to reduce throat soreness after surgery.
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
This study looks at throat and voice box injuries that can happen after having a breathing tube during surgery. It may help doctors understand why some people experience hoarseness, sore throat, cough, or choking after non-ear-nose-throat operations.
