Randomization: Subjects will be randomized, only after intubation to ensure concealment, to a Cuff Palpation (CP) group or a No Palpation (NP) group. A numbered opaque envelope containing the assigned allocation will be opened. Blinding is not possible during intubation in this experiment, but the bronchoscopic measurement technique is not subjective. Assessment of throat pain in the post anesthetic care unit (PACU) will be by a blinded observer.
