Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  endotracheal tube cuff inflation  endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated using three different techniques 
Comparator Agent  loss of resistance syringe used in epidural set  the endotracheal tube cuff is inflated using loss of resistance syringe and the cuff pressure is measured to check if it can achieve the recommended pressure range 
Comparator Agent  manual palpation method  the endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated using a regular 10 ml syringe and pilot balloon palpated to decide if the pressure is satisfactory and the cuff pressure will be measured to check if it can achieve the recommended pressure range 
Comparator Agent  syringe with pressure device  use of syringe with pressure device to inflate the endotracheal tube cuff and the pressure is measured to check if it can achieve the recommended pressure range

Brief Summary   endotracheal intubation is routinely performed for patients undergoing general anaesthesia.it is crucial to maintain appropriate cuff pressure to avoid cuff related serious adverse events. under inflation may lead to gastric distension, aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions, leakage of anaesthetic gases and thereby environmental pollution. overinflation may lead to compromised local tissue blood flow, necrosis and damage to surrounding anatomical structures. recommended range for cuff pressure is 20-25cm of water. we will be using three different methods of endotracheal tube cuff inflation in adult patients undergoing general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation and check to see which is the best in achieving the cuff pressures in the recommended range. after a written and informed consent the methods used are pilot balloon palpation following cuff inflation by a regular 10ml syringe, use of loss of resistance syringe used in epidural sets and a syringe device with pressure sensor. we hypothesise that most appropriate cuff pressures are achieved by syringe device with pressure sensor. study design is a prospective interventional randomised controlled study with a sample size of 150 comprising 50 patients per group.
