About this study

Official title: Does Use of Lidocaine Spray on an Endoscope Immediately Before Insertion Improve Patient Tolerance to Endoscopy? A Single Center, Case-Control Study.

The investigators tested whether a new method which additional lidocaine spray on the tip of endoscope can increase the tolerance of examinee during endoscopy than conventional pharyngeal anesthesia alone.

Read the detailed description

All the patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were consecutively enrolled and assigned to case group treated with additional 2 puffs of the 10% lidocaine spray on the tip of endoscope before intubation or control group with conventional pharyngeal anesthesia without further treatment. And the investigators compared their baseline characteristics, past history, sedation or not, and frequency of retching and belching were measured during the endoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • Case GroupDrug

    Also called Beracaine Spray

    Consecutively, all the participants were assigned to case group with additional 2 puffs of the 10% lidocaine spray on the tip of endoscope, same medication which was used for prior pharyngeal anesthesia, or to control group with conventional pharyngeal anesthesia without further treatment. Then we compared the primary outcome measures, such as, frequency of belching and retching of two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of Belching and retching

    Belching was defined as release of gas from the digestive tract (mainly esophagus and stomach) through the mouth and retching was defined as reverse peristaltic movement of the stomach and esophagus without vomiting.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, expected average of 1-2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events

    Events suspected as Aspiration pneumonia, methemoglobinemia

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, expected average of 1-2 hours
