About this study

Official title: Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine on the Incidence of Post-extubation Laryngospasm: A Randomised Controlled Trial

In the literature, we found no randomized clinical trials addressing the using of IV lidocaine as prophylaxis for postoperative laryngospasm among adults.

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of IV lidocaine on the incidence of postoperative laryngospasm of adults patients.

Read the detailed description

During anesthesia practice, one of the common complications of airway management is laryngospasm. The etiology of laryngospasm is unknown but may be due to insufficient depth of anesthesia during tracheal intubation, light plane of anesthesia during tracheal extubation, pain, or presence of airway irritant like laryngoscope blade, irritated volatile agent, suction catheter, surgical debris, mucus, blood, or other foreign body. Laryngospasm occurs in both genders and all ages. Incidence of laryngospasm was reported to the Australian incident monitoring study (AIMS) was 5% with of 22% of them without an attributable cause.

Currently, there is no proven prophylaxis for laryngospasm and the known treatments of laryngospasm are used post-occurrence. However, elimination of factors that lead to laryngospasm is the most indispensable item for reduction of its incidence.

Intravenous (IV) lidocaine interrupts nerve conduction by blocking sodium channels. Recent meta-analysis study showed that IV lidocaine was able to prevent laryngospasm in children. However, in the literature, we found no randomized clinical trials addressing the using of IV lidocaine as prophylaxis for postoperative laryngospasm among adults.

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of IV lidocaine on the incidence of postoperative laryngospasm of adults patients.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called Xylocaine

    1 mg/kg or 1 mL/10 kg prior to extubation period. Injection of Lidocaine will be immediately when inhalational agent (Desflurane) is discontinued.

  • PlaceboOther

    Also called Normal Saline

    1 mL/10 kg prior to extubation period. Injection of placebo will be immediately when inhalational agent (Desflurane) is discontinued.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patients With Laryngospasm Postoperatively

    There were 4 scores of laryngospasm:

    0 = No Laryngospasm

    1. = Stridor or partial laryngospasm
    2. = Complete Laryngospasm
    3. = Cyanosis

    Measured: within first 15 minutes post-dose

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine in people with Laryngospasm, run by King Saud University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Jul 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Patients With Laryngospasm Postoperatively (time frame: within first 15 minutes post-dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 May 2017.
