March 27, 2025 updated by: Dina Mahmoud Mohamed, Kasr El Aini Hospital

Evaluating the Effect of Topical Lidocaine Spray Versus Dexmedetomidine Spray on Suppression of Stress Response to Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation: a Randomized Controlled Study

Many studies discussed attenuating stress response by various measures but to the interest of our study , No one compared topical spray of both lidocaine and dexmedetomidine in attenuating the haemodynamic stress responses of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, avoiding undesired systemic effects of drugs ,

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will be conducted in the operating theatres of Cairo university hospitals.

Patients undergoing any surgery under general anesthesia and needs endotracheal intubation using direct laryngoscopy will be assigned to one of the three groups:

Group C: will receive 5ml of normal saline sprayed via long nostril syringe into oropharynx, the vocal cords and tracheobronchial tree 5 minutes before intubation Group L: : will receive 5ml of lidocaine 2% (100mg) sprayed via long nostril syringe into oropharynx , the vocal cords and tracheobronchial tree 5 minutes before intubation Group D: : will receive dexmedetomidine (1 μg/kg) diluted in 5ml normal saline sprayed via long nostril syringe into oropharynx , the vocal cords and tracheobronchial tree 5 minutes before intubation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study
