Abstract :Objective: We compared the air or saline insufflated endotracheal tube insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ETT); cuff pressures and their effects on postoperative respiratory complications in gynecological laparoscopic surgeries in the Trendelenburg position insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TP);. Patients and Methods: This prospective study was carried out on a total of 60 patients, whose ages ranged from 18 to 65 years and who were classified by the American Society of Anesthesiologists insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ASA); as I-III. They were scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery in TP. Patients included in the study were randomly divided into two groups as the saline insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group S, n=30); and air insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Group A, n=30); groups. ETT cuff pressures and peak airway pressures were recorded immediately after intubation and at 10-minute intervals during the intraoperative period. Results: The cuff pressure and maximum cuff pressure values in the saline group were significantly lower than in the air group in the 50-minute insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The sore throat and analgesic consumption were significantly lower in Group S in postoperative 24 hours insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001, for all);. Conclusion: The intraoperative cuff pressures, postoperative sore throat, and analgesic consumption were lower in the salineinsufflated group than in the air-insufflated group in gynecological laparoscopic surgery in TP.
