About this study

Official title: Ketamine Versus Lidocaine Nebulization for Awake Nasal Fiberoptic Intubation: a Prospective, Randomized Double-blinded Study

This randomized double-blinded study is performed to compare ketamine versus lidocaine for nebulization for awake nasal fiberoptic intubation as regard efficacy and side effects.

Read the detailed description

Difficult airway is one of the major challenges facing anesthesiologists. This challenge is compounded when the patient is treated while awake. The additional burden is to complete this procedure comfortably thus ensuring patient cooperation which is a vital part of successful performance. Several methods have been tried in literature to facilitate awake intubation by fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB)

This randomized double-blinded study is performed to compare ketamine versus lidocaine for nebulization for awake nasal fiberoptic intubation as regard efficacy and side effects.

Conditions
Anesthesia
Being tested
Ketamine, Lidocaine

What participants receive

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

  • KetamineDrug

    Also called Ketalar

    While in the semi-setting position, patients will receive nebulization with ketamine 3 mg/kg to be completed with normal saline solution to reach a volume of 6 ml (K group; n=30) for 15 minutes before commencing the awake fiberoptic intubation..

  • LidocaineDrug

    Also called xylocaine

    While in the semi-setting position, patients will receive nebulization with lidocaine 4% 6 ml (L group; n=30) for 15 minutes before commencing the awake fiberoptic intubation

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose of supplemental lidocaine

    Dose of supplemental lidocaine during awake fiberoptic procedure

    Measured: Intraoperative

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of adverse events

    The incidence of adverse events related to the procedure and study drugs will be recorded

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. Patient satisfaction score

    will be assessed against five point Likert score where (1: poor, 2: fair, 3: good, 4: very good, 5: excellent).

    Measured: first 24 hours

  3. Patient tolerability score

    Patient tolerability during the procedure will be rated as 4-point scale where 0= procedure totally intolerable with severe patient resistance (struggling/withdrawal movements).

    1. procedure partially tolerable with moderate patient resistance (restlessness/ verbal objection).
    2. procedure quiet tolerable with minimal patient resistance (just grimacing).
    3. procedure tolerable with no patient resistance. this score will be recorded at points during the intubation procedure: nasal passage, oro/hypopharynx, glottis and tube insertion.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ketamine and Lidocaine in people with Anesthesia, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 12 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 26 Nov 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 Egypt. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Dose of supplemental lidocaine (time frame: Intraoperative). 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 26 Nov 2019.
