The goal of this \[ randomized clinical trial\] is to \[effect of different head positions on the incidence of postoperative sore throat \] in \[patients with endotracheal intubation \]. The main question it aims to answer is: the rate of postoperative sore throat will be reduced or not with the patients' head position changed during intubation.
Objective: To investigate the effect of tracheal intubation in different head positions on the incidence of pharyngeal pain 1, 6 and 24h after operation;Effect of tracheal intubation in different head positions on the incidence of hoarseness 1, 6 and 24h after operation
