Study Summary

This trial aims to determine if rotating the tube used to help with breathing during surgery can reduce the occurrence of throat soreness after the operation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who are undergoing anesthesia through an endotracheal tube, a common procedure during surgery. There's no specific information on inclusion or exclusion criteria provided, so it's assumed that participants should be in good enough health to undergo the surgical procedure and anesthesia.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if rotating the endotracheal tube (a breathing tube) 180 degrees before inserting it with the help of tools like Direct Laryngoscope or Video laryngoscope can reduce throat soreness after surgery compared to the standard method.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly stated, potential side effects may include increased throat soreness, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or minor bleeding due to manipulation of the ETT. These are general risks associated with intubation.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Direct Laryngoscopy (DL)Active Control1 Intervention
Standard laryngoscope use to insert the endotracheal tube and removing the stylet without any rotation.
Group II: Video laryngoscopy plus Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180 maneuver (VLE)Active Control2 Interventions
Video laryngoscope use to insert the endotracheal tube and removing the stylet using a 180-degree rotation.
Group III: Direct laryngoscopy (DLE) plus Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180 maneuverActive Control2 Interventions
Standard laryngoscope use to insert the endotracheal tube and removing the stylet using a 180-degree rotation.
