Summary

This study will follow 362 adults having planned surgery with a breathing tube to see what factors lead to throat pain, hoarseness, cough, or coughing up blood. Researchers will track tube pressure and other details to create a risk score. The goal is to better understand and possibly prevent these common post-surgery problems.

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 successful, this study could help doctors predict and prevent throat injuries from breathing tubes during surgery.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly improve patient care. Results may not apply to all surgery types.
