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

- 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.
