U.S., July 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07678086) titled 'Effect of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure Management on Postoperative Sore Throat in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomy' on June 22.
Brief Summary: Abstract Objective:
The aim of this study is to compare two different ways of adjusting the air-filled cushion (cuff) of the breathing tube used during general anesthesia in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy (closed surgery for appendicitis). The goal is to see if maintaining the pressure in this cushion within a safe, specific range (15-18 mmHg) helps prevent or reduce sore throat, hoarseness, and discomfort, which are common postoperative complications in children.
