This study is investigating a new technique called Endotracheal Tube (ETT) 180 to see if it can reduce sore throats after surgery. When you have general anesthesia, a breathing tube (Endotracheal Tube or ETT) is placed in your windpipe. The ETT 180 technique involves rotating the breathing tube 180 degrees just after it passes your vocal cords, before it's fully inserted. Researchers want to compare this new method to the standard way of inserting the tube to see if it makes a difference in how sore your throat is 24 hours later. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 90 years old, are having general anesthesia with a breathing tube, and meet other health criteria. The study is planning to enroll 357 participants, but its current status is unclear.
