Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The Parker FlexTip® endotracheal tube (ETT) is formulated with a softer plastic at the distal tip as well as a laterally curved profile to reduce trauma during ETT advancement. (Makino 2003) This ETT has been shown to be faster during fibreoptic intubation, but complication of sore throat was not examined. (Kristensen 2003)
Our previous study (Jones 2007) demonstrated that modification of anesthetic techniques could reduce the incidence of post-operative sore throat in patients undergoing naso-tracheal intubation. We will now study the Parker Flex-Tip ETT to see if its use can also reduce the incidence of sore throat in patients undergoing oro-tracheal intubation.
