Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Cuff pressure monitoring  After the patient is brought to the operation theatre,standard monitoring such as electrocardiography and pulse oximetry were applied. Invasive blood pressure monitoring line and central venous catheter through right internal jugular vein will be inserted under standard aseptic precautions. Induction of anesthesia will be done with midazolam0.08-0.1mg/kg, fentanyl 5-10mcg/kg, and etomidate 0.2-0.4mg/kg. In all cases rocuronium 0.6-1.2mg/kg will be used as muscle relaxant. After induction of anesthesia, appropriate sized (7 for female and 8 for male) cuffed high volume low pressure endotracheal tube (ETT-portex) will be used to secure the airway. The proper placement of the ETT will be confirmed with appearance of end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) tracing and auscultation over chest for bilateral air entry. The cuff of the ETT will be slowly inflated/deflated using the air leak technique by putting the stethoscope on the suprasternal notch with slow inflation of the cuff until there will be no audible air leak while holding continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) of 20 cmH2O with the head and neck in the neutral position to seal the airway. Mechanical ventilation will be started with volume‑controlled mode with the tidal volume of 8ml/kg, respiratory rate of 12 per minute, inspiratory/expiratory ratio of 1:2 and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 0.5 with an air‑oxygen mixture with sevoflurane. Positive end‑expiratory pressure will not be applied. After the ETT cuff is inflated with 7ml of air, the baseline cuff pressure will be measured using a manometer(AMBU MANOMETER) and recorded. An Experienced cardiac anesthesiologist will insert the TEE probe(MIND RAY,8mm) after adequate lubrication with brief jaw thrust maneuver. Bite guard will be applied before TEE probe placement. If there is failure in blind insertion of TEE probe after two attempts, the probe will be inserted using direct laryngoscopy, or the procedure will be abandoned if significant resistance is encountered and these patients will be excluded from the study. TEE associated complications (e.g., dental injury, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and esophageal/gastric injury) will be noted. The cuff pressures will be recorded at three points of time; before the insertion of the TEE as a baseline (T1); during TEE probe manipulation(T2) and immediately after completion of initial TEE examination (T3).If the pressure is found to be persistently 30 cm of H2O at T2 & T3, it will be adjusted back to 20–30 cm of H2O. If there is an audible air leak or inadequate ventilation because of loss of tracheal seal,tracheal cuff will be reinflated with air to maintain adequate seal.  
Comparator Agent  cuff pressure monitoring without adjustment  The cuff pressures will be recorded at three points of time; before the insertion of the TEE as a baseline (T1); during TEE probe manipulation(T2) and immediately after completion of initial TEE examination (T3).Cuff pressures will be monitored without any adjusting.

Brief Summary  
PURPOSE :A decrease in intraoperative intracuff pressure during TEE probe manupulation leading to decrease in post operative airway complications in adults patients undergoing CABG surgery.

DESIGN: A Prospective, interventional study

PARTICIPANT :patients undergoing elective CABG surgeries with endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia

INTERVENTION:Patients will be randomised into two groups, control C group (25 members) and Test T group (25 members).In both the groups C and T, the cuff pressures will be recorded at 4 points of time;before insertion of the TEE as a baseline (T1),immediately after insertion (T2),during TEE probe manipulation(T3) and immediately after completion of initial TEE examination (T4).In  group C, cuff pressures will be monitored without any intervention and in  group T if the pressure is found to be persistently >30 cm of H2O, it will be adjusted back to 20–30 cm of H2O.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:This study can be useful to optimize the endotracheal cuff pressure value after TEE probe insertion in order to avoid the unwanted adverse effects
