Cough reflex from general anaesthesia in the presence of an endotracheal tube has an incidence of 15–94% [Cough reflex is often accompanied with violent hemodynamic fluctuations, increased intracranial pressure and increased intraocular pressure, which can lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. Cough reflex can cause postoperative airway complications, such as sore throat, hoarseness, airway spasms, and laryngeal mucosal haemorrhage [Various strategies aimed at reducing cough reflex caused by endotracheal tube cuff have been studied, such as applying local anaesthetics to the endotracheal tube cuff, inhaling steroid preoperatively, opioid or lidocaine administration during emergence and extubation, or extubation under deep anesthesia [We conducted this study to investigate whether continuously and slowly deflating the tracheal tube cuff was associated with a lower incidence and severity of cough reflex and airway complications compared with rapid deflation.
