Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Cuff inflation by manual palpation of leak method   Inflation of cuff with air by 2 cc syringe till no leak palpable in suprasternal notch in neck area while holding continuous airway pressure of 20 cm of H2O with gas flow of 6L/min. Measurement of intra cuff pressure using AMBU manometer. Check adequate seal by supraglottic capnometry. Again measurement of intra-cuff pressure. Note intra-cuff pressure,amount of air,airway morbidity 
Intervention  Cuff inflation by Stethoscope guided removal of air method   Inflation of cuff with air using 2cc syringe, followed by placement of stethoscope in suprasternal notch in neck area,followed by removal of air in small increments till leak is heard while holding continuous airway pressure of 20 cm of H2O with gas flow @ 6L/min.Measurement of intra-cuff pressure by AMBU manometer.Check adequate seal by supra glottic capnometry.Again measure intra-cuff pressure. Note intra-cuff pressure,amount of air,airway morbidity

Brief Summary   Cuffed endotracheal tubes are considered standard of care in children <8 years of age. Pre-requisite is to maintain intra-cuff pressure<30 cm of H2O.Measurement of cuff pressure by manometer is gold standard but not feasible in every clinical scenario with high turnover rate. Best practical solution is to inflate cuff just enough to achieve adequate seal. So the study will compare and objectively justify two different methods of cuff inflation (Manual palpation, Stethoscope guided removal of air) in terms of achieving minimal intra-cuff pressure with adequate seal. A prospective double blind, randomized, paralleled ,active controlled study will recruit children of 3-8 years undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia using endotracheal tube. Intra-cuff pressure will be measured by AMBU manometer. Adequacy of seal will be ensured by supraglottic capnometry. Statistical analysis will be done using ANNOVA test, chi-square and fischer exact test.
