A Single-center, Prospective Study for Mechanism and Risk Factors of Tracheal Tube-related Tongue Injury

Article Summary 1. Tracheal tube-related tongue injury is a common clinical complication that would lead to serious events such as dysphagia, respiratory dysfuncion and macroglossia. 2. There is a lack of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment of tracheal tube-related tongue injury. 3. This is a protocol of a single-center, prospective, paralled-group clinical trial based on the measurement of dynamic changes in pressure between the tracheal tube and the tongue in different position during the surgery. 4. The primary endpoint is tracheal tube-related tongue injury, secondary outcomes include the time to first successful recovery of oral intake of fluids and solid food and airway-related events. 5. This trial aims to find the best indicators for tracheal tracheal tube-related tongue injury and to provide solid basis for optimizing airway protection strategies and surgical positioning.
