Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Minimal Occlusive Volume (MOV) technique for endotracheal tube cuff inflation  After tracheal intubation, cuff inflation is guided by auscultation at the suprasternal notch to identify the minimal volume that prevents an audible leak during positive pressure ventilation. Final cuff pressure measured with the same calibrated cuff manometer. Measurements taken post-intubation, after pneumoperitoneum, every 15 min, and at the end of surgery.  
Intervention  Pressure–Volume Loop (PV-L) guided endotracheal tube cuff inflation.  After tracheal intubation, cuff inflation is guided using the pressure–volume loop displayed on the anaesthesia workstation to determine the minimal volume required to prevent air leak. Final cuff pressure measured with a calibrated cuff manometer. Measurements taken post-intubation, after pneumoperitoneum, every 15 min, and at the end of surgery. 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  60.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1.ASA Grade I and II, both genders undergoing Laparascopic Cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.
2.Age between 18 years and 60 years.
3.BMI less than 30kg  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1.Patients not giving consent to the study,
2. Patients with anticipated difficult intubation,
3. Emergency intubations,
4. Known anatomical laryngotracheal abnormalities,
5. Patients with high risk of pulmonary aspiration, pre op sore throat & Upper respiratory infections. 
 
Method of Generating Random Sequence   Computer generated randomization 
Method of Concealment   Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes 
Blinding/Masking   Participant Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The PV loop technique would be more accurate than MOV technique in acheiving the desired ETTc pressure in patients undergoing laparascopic cholecystectomy under general anaesthesia.  The ETT cuff pressure will be measure post intubation and pre extubation.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.To compare the endotracheal cuff volume with the two techniques
2.To compare the incidence of sore throat, cough & hoarseness of voice. 
Patients will be assesed at 2 hours, 6 hours & 24 hours post extubation.
