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.\n\nStudy Design:\n\nThis is a prospective, randomized, controlled study. Sixty children aged 6 to 18 years scheduled for laparoscopic appendectomy will be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to two equal groups: Group A (Control Group): Breathing tube cuff pressure is adjusted using the standard \"feeling\" (finger palpation) method common in routine practice. Group B (Intervention Group): Breathing tube cuff pressure is measured throughout the surgery using a medical pressure sensor (manometer) and maintained within a safe range (15-18 mmHg). Research Questions: Does actively monitoring airway pressure reduce the number of children experiencing postoperative sore throat? Does this method reduce the severity of sore throat, cough, hoarseness, or other respiratory discomfort compared to the standard method? What will happen?\n\nDuring surgery, respiratory and heart rate measurements will be recorded every 15 minutes for all participants. After surgery, researchers will visit participants (and their parents) at 2, 6, and 24 hours postoperatively to assess the presence of sore throat, discomfort, or hoarseness. No additional medications or invasive procedures will be used for this study; only how we manage airway pressure will be compared.",[82,83,84,85],"Appendicitis Acute","Postoperative Sore Throat, Cough, Hoarseness","Airway Complications","Respiratory Complications",[87,88,89,90,91,92,93],"Endotracheal tube cuff pressure","Post-anesthetic complications","Pressure transducer","Laparoscopic appendectomy","Pediatric anesthesia","Airway management","postoperative sore throat","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-28",{"date":97,"type":98},"2026-07-01","ACTUAL",{"date":100,"type":76},"2026-06-30",{"date":102,"type":76},"2026-08-25",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
