[RESULTS] The volume-time curve group presented significantly lower cuff pressure ( 30.9 2.8 vs 37.7 3.4 cm H2O ) , less incidence and intensity of sore throat ( 1 h , 23.7 vs 51.4 % ; and 24 h , 18.9 vs 40.5 % , P < .001 ) , cough ( 1 h , 19.3 vs 48.6 % ; and 24 h , 18.4 vs 42.3 % , P < .001 ) , thoracic pain ( 5.2 1.8 vs 7.1 1.7 ) , better preservation of FVC ( 49.5 9.9 vs 41.8 12.9 % , P = .005 ) , and FEV1 ( 46.6 1.8 vs 38.6 1.4 % , P = .005 ) compared with the MOV group .
