These maneuvers often increase the time required for intubation, the risk of cuff rupture, and hemodynamic stress. The cuff inflation technique is an alternative NTI approach, where the cuff of the tube is inflated with air to help align with the tracheal opening.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All surgical patients requiring NTI were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 53 each): Group C, using the conventional intubation technique, and Group I, using the cuff inflation-deflation technique. Intubation time, types of maneuvers, number of maneuvers, hemodynamic response, percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score, and complications were evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The cuff inflation technique required significantly less time for successful NTI compared to the conventional group (27.86 \u00b1 4.47 s vs. 41.11 \u00b1 10.98 s, respectively;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.0001).
