Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether the stethoscope can be used as a method of assessing endotracheal cuff pressure as effectively as a manometer and also to compare it with the balloon palpation/audible leak method frequently used in clinical practice in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the stethoscope as effective as a manometer in assessing endotracheal cuff pressure?
* Is there a difference between stethoscope and audible leak/balloon palpation methods in assessing endotracheal cuff pressure? Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups.
* Group P: After intubation, endotracheal cuff pressure will be assessed by audible leak/balloon palpation.
* Group S: After intubation, endotracheal cuff pressure will be assessed with a stethoscope.
* Control will be carried out with a manometer and the pressure values obtained in the groups will be corrected.

Researchers will compare ''stethoscope'' and ''audible leak/balloon palpation'' groups to see if which method is effective like a manometer.
