The investigators have devised a simple method to continuously measure the CP using an
invasive pressure monitoring setup (IPMS), which is used routinely in the operating room to
monitor arterial or central venous pressures. The investigators have previously confirmed
both in vitro and in vivo (previous IRB approved protocol), a clinically applicable agreement
of the IPMS readings with the values obtained from a standard manometer (gold standard). In
the current study, we will prospectively evaluate the relationship between the patient's head
position and CP in patients undergoing otolaryngological surgery and also measure the oxygen
concentration in the oropharynx to determine the potential risk of an airway fire.
