ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of two different methods for inflating the cuffs of breathing tubes during lumbar spinal surgery, which is a procedure to stabilize the spine. The researchers want to find out if these methods lead to less swelling (edema) in the throat area after surgery. They will monitor patients while they are in the operating room and follow up with them afterwards to check for any complications related to this swelling.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and scheduled for elective lumbar spinal surgery under general anesthesia. You should not have any serious health issues or a history of certain throat surgeries or conditions like asthma that could affect your participation. If you join the study, you can expect to be closely monitored during and after your surgery, and your experience will help the researchers understand how to improve care for future patients.
