Brief Summary  
This is a single-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of the Yankauer suction catheter and the flexible suction catheter for airway suctioning during extubation in adult patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia.

The study will be conducted at a tertiary care centre between August 2025 and January 2027, with a sample size of 66 patients 33 in each group Primary outcome is clinician satisfaction with ease of use and effectiveness of secretion clearance. Secondary outcomes include post-extubation complications injuries laryngospasm cough  aspiration and the time and frequency of suctioning.

Findings from this study may help determine the safer and more effective suction catheter to use during extubation, improving patient safety and minimizing airway-related complications
