About this study

Official title: Effect of Preoperative Nebulized Lidocaine on Postoperative Sore Throat After Endotracheal Intubation

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that use of preoperative nebulized lidocaine is reduced the incidence of postoperative sore throat after endotracheal intubation.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) requiring double lumen tube (DLT) endotracheal intubation for one-lung ventilation (OLV) were enrolled in the study. Patients were randomized by means of computer-generated order randomization into two groups: Group C (those who received a saline solution as placebo delivered by nebulization) and Group L (those who received lidocaine delivered by nebulization).

At 1, 6 and 24 h after tracheal extubation, an observer blinded to treatments evaluated the patients in terms of sore throat and hoarseness. In addition, Patients' satisfaction, intraoperative and postoperative opioid and analgesics consumption and complaints such as dysphagia, nausea and vomiting were recorded. Hemodynamic variables such as blood pressure and heart rate were also recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in the incidence of postoperative sore throat

    Sore throat was assessed using a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS), where a score of 0 represents no pain and a score of 100 reflects the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. whether the hoarseness was present or not

    Hoarseness was defined as a change in voice quality and it was assessed by the patients themselves. The change in voice quality at any time during the observation period was defined as "hoarseness was present".

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Intraoperative opioid consumption

    Assessed in intraoperative period

    Measured: 60 minutes

  3. Postoperative analgesic consumption

    Assessed in postoperative period

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Changes in mean arterial pressure

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

    Measured: 60 minutes

  5. Changes in heart rate

    Assessed every 5 minutes during the procedure

    Measured: 60 minutes
