Summary
The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the effect of endotracheal cuff pressure management on postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Specifically, patients whose endotracheal cuff pressure is maintained at an optimal level using a manometer will be compared with those whose cuff pressure is assessed using the conventional palpation method. The primary question the study aims to answer is whether maintaining endotracheal cuff pressure at an optimal level with a manometer reduces the incidence of postoperative airway-related complications compared with the classical palpation technique.
