About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Intracuff Alkalinized Lidocaine on Coughing Incidence at Extubation in Surgeries Without Nitrous Oxide Lasting More Than 2 Hours

The purpose of the study is to determined whether the administration of alkalized 4% lidocaine (160 mg) in the endotracheal tube cuff is effective in diminishing the incidence of coughing at extubation in surgeries lasting more than 2 hours without the use of nitrous oxide as an anesthetic agent.

Read the detailed description

The diffusion of nitrous oxide inside the endotracheal cuff leads to increase pressure, pain and coughing. Studies have shown benefit of alkalized lidocaine and other mediums within the cuff with nitrous oxide. No study has yet evaluated the benefit of alkalized lidocaine in long surgeries without the use of nitrous oxide.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Endotracheal intubation with injection of liquid in the cuff in people with Coughing and Extubation, run by Université de Sherbrooke at 1 site in Canada.

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 11 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 30 Oct 2015. 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 Canada. 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 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?

Coughing (time frame: 24 hours after the end ofsurgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01774292, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 30 Oct 2015.
