Trial summary

Researchers will compare the effects of lidocaine versus air, as a way to fill the breathing tube cuff which is gently inflated to hold in place the trachea (airway) during surgery. Air is the traditional method used to inflate the breathing tube cuff. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Lidocaine as an ETT Cuff Media in the Immediate Post-operative Cardiac Surgery Patient Population, and Its Effect on Sedation/Analgesia Requirements: a Pilot Study

Researchers will compare the effects of lidocaine versus air, as a way to fill the breathing tube cuff which is gently inflated to hold in place the trachea (airway) during surgery. Air is the traditional method used to inflate the breathing tube cuff. Researchers wish to find if lidocaine works better than air to facilitate tolerance to the breathing tube (decreased coughing, sore throat, hoarseness). They also want to learn more about its effectiveness for this particular surgical intervention.

Read the detailed description

At the induction of anesthesia, Participants will be breathing 100% oxygen via a face mask and then, become anesthetized according to a standard protocol and at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. Participants will be receive fentanyl, lidocaine and either succinylcholine or vecuronium to facilitate tracheal intubation. Laryngoscopy will then be performed and the trachea intubated with a standard cuffed ETT. Inflation of the ETT cuff will be performed in accordance with the randomization of either air or 1.8% lidocaine/0.76% solution until such time as there is no air leak around the tube when administering positive pressure to 20 cm H2O. Anesthesia will be maintained with volatile anesthetic with or without a Propofol infusion. Vecuronium will be used to maintain the ulnar nerve train-of-four at 0-3 of four twitches. Lungs will be mechanically ventilated with tidal volumes of 6-8 mL/kg to maintain end-tidalCO2 concentration at 30-35 mm Hg. Anesthesia maintenance will occur until the near end of the surgical procedure. The volatile anesthetic will be discontinued and Propofol will be initiated via a continuous infusion to facilitate transportation to the intensive care unit (ICU). After arrival to the ICU, Neuromuscular blockade will then be antagonized with neostigmine and glycopyrrolate, and the pharynx being gently suctioned under direct vision. Mechanical ventilation to be maintained until swallowing or spontaneous respiration begins, and then, converted to assisted manual ventilation. Extubation will be performed when all of the following criteria are met: 1) full reversal of neuromuscular block (ulnar nerve T4/T1 ratio 1:1, with sustained tetanus at 50 Hz for 5 s and no fade); 2) spontaneous ventilation; and 3) the ability to follow verbal commands (eye opening or hand grip) or demonstrate purposeful unilateral movement (attempting self-extubation); 4) demonstration of hemodynamic stability; 5) adequate hemostasis with combined chest tube output < 100 ml/hour.

The Participant then will be closely monitored as a 1:1 by the room nurse, and by other staff (respiratory therapist, and ICU fellows and consultants) for toleration of the ventilator (coughing, double triggering, "bucking," etc.). on the cardiac surgical intensive care unit. Sedation amount will be recorded electronically once the patient lands in the ICU, until the time of extubation. A member from the study team will physically record "yes," or "no," on the form provided regarding the patient coughing, complaining of a sore throat or difficulty swallowing, having hoarseness or difficulty speaking.

What participants receive

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

  • 1.8% lidocaine plus 0.76% sodium bicarbonateDrug

    At the time of intubation, the endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated with a solution containing 1.8% lidocaine plus 0.76% sodium bicarbonate until loss of air leak at a positive pressure of 20 cm of water. This solution will remain in situ through the duration of cardiac surgery, transportation to the intensive care unit, and continued to the time of extubation.

  • AirOther

    At the time of intubation, the endotracheal tube cuff will be inflated with air until loss of air leak at a positive pressure of 20 cm of water. The air will remain in situ through the duration of cardiac surgery, transportation to the intensive care unit, and continued to the time of extubation.

Buffered LidocaineExperimentalAt the induction of anesthesia, patients will be breathing 100% oxygen via a face mask and then, become anesthetized according to a standard protocol and at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist. For cardiac surgery patients randomized to the buffered lidocaine arm, the operating room registered respiratory therapist (OR RRT) will inflate the endotracheal tube cuffs with the study drug containing 1.8% lidocaine plus 0.76% sodium bicarbonate until abatement of the air leak at 20 cm of water. The intervention will take place while in the operating room. The room nurse anesthetist (CRNA) or anesthesiologist will be aware of the amount of solution instilled in the ETT cuff. The patient will remain intubated after the surgery is complete and will be taken to the cardiac surgical ICU.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Sedation Requirements

    Total amount of Propofol dose used as measured in total milligrams.

    Measured: baseline through extubation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

    Total amount of time that the participant is intubated as measured in minutes.

    Measured: baseline through extubation

  2. Richmond Agitation-Sedation Score (RASS)

    The Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) is a medical scale used to measure the agitation or sedation level of a patient.. It is a 10-point scale comprised of four levels of agitation (+1 to +4), one level defining a calm and alert state (0) and five levels of sedation (-1 to -5). The higher the positive number (+) the more agitated or combative a patient is and the higher the negative number (-) the deeper the sedation of the patient.

    Measured: 4 hours post-extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 1.8% lidocaine plus 0.76% sodium bicarbonate and Air in people with Cardiac Disease, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2019. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Sep 2019). 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?

Total Sedation Requirements (time frame: baseline through extubation). 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 27 Sep 2019.
