Summary
This study is designed to compare the efficacy of endotracheal tube cuffs pre-filled with
alkalinized lidocaine on the:
- incidence of coughing during emergence of general anesthesia
- time needed for emergence following a desflurane-based anesthesia
- incidence of sore throat after extubation.
The investigator's hypothesis is that the use of endotracheal tube cuffs pre-filled with
alkalinized lidocaine will reduce the incidence of coughing by 50% relative to a control
group following a desflurane-based anesthesia.
