Tokyo, March 24 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061022) titled 'Effects of Endotracheal Tube Warming and Spiral Deflation on the Force Required for Intubation and Postoperative Sore Throat' on March 23.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Single blind -participants are blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Tokushima University Hospital

Condition: Condition - patients undergoing general anesthesia Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - The primary objective of this study is to evaluate, in patients undergoing tracheal intubation with a single-lumen tube under general anesthesia, whether pre-intubation warming and spiral deflation of the endotracheal tube reduce the force required for intubation compared with the conventional method. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - In the intervention group, the endotracheal tube will be warmed and then used after spiral deflation of the cuff. Interventions/Control_2 - In the control group, an endotracheal tube prepared with conventional cuff deflation will be used.
