Inhalation of Lidocaine Before Intubation

April 23, 2013 updated by: Chen Yen-Po, New Taipei City Hospital

The Effect of Ultrasonic Nebulizer Delivered Lidocaine on Circulatory Responses During Tracheal Intubation and Postoperative Sore Throat

We investigate the potential benefits of ultrasound-driven lidocaine inhalation immediately before induction.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

Sudden increases in blood pressure and heart rate after tracheal intubation and post-operative sore throat are two common undesirable side effects of general anesthesia and might lead to patients' morbidity or dissatisfaction. We investigated the possibility to attenuate both side effects with one single method, i.e. ultrasound-driven lidocaine inhalation immediately before induction.
