Endotracheal Intubation (EI) is performed in order to monitor the effectiveness of anesthesia and to control the patient's breathing during the surgery under general anesthesia. In EI, which is an invasive procedure, damage to the larynx and trachea may occur during the placement of the endotracheal tube or due to long-term use. Complications such as postintubation ulcer, laryngeal nerve paresis, arytenoid dislocation may develop in the early period due to EI, and patients may have complaints such as sore throat, swallowing problems, hoarseness, and cough in the postoperative period. This affects the comfort of the patients in the postoperative period. For this reason, it is important to prevent intubation-related symptoms of patients who will undergo surgical intervention before they occur.
