Sore throat after surgery: could tube pressure be the culprit?
NCT ID NCT05542823
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 337 adults who had laparoscopic surgery with a breathing tube. Researchers measured how long the tube's cuff pressure was too high and checked if that led to a sore throat after surgery. The goal was to see if there is a link between cuff overpressure and sore throat, which could help improve patient comfort in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If the findings are clear, this could help doctors adjust tube cuff pressure to reduce sore throat after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can show a link but cannot prove that changing cuff pressure will prevent sore throat.
