This study is designed to compare the efficacy of endotracheal tube cuffs pre-filled with alkalinized lidocaine on the: - incidence of coughing during emergence of general anesthesia - time needed for emergence following a desflurane-based anesthesia - incidence of sore throat after extubation. The investigator's hypothesis is that the use of endotracheal tube cuffs pre-filled with alkalinized lidocaine will reduce the incidence of coughing by 50% relative to a control group following a desflurane-based anesthesia.
