About this trial

Endotracheal intubation can induce laryngotracheal injury which results in narrowing of the airway due to edema of the glottis. This can increase the risk of development of post-extubation stridor (PES)

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult patients (>18 years)

American Society of Anesthesiologists status I and II

undergoing elective maxillomandibular fixation surgeries under general anesthesia with nasal endotracheal intubation

Disqualifiers

patients' refusal

pregnant females

patients with body mass index <18.5 or ≥ 35 kg/m2

risk of aspiration

Trial design

Design model

Parallel
