About this study

Official title: Effect of Nebulized Lidocaine on the Quality of Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion: A Randomized, Double Blind, Controlled Study

The primary outcome of this study will be the effect of lidocaine nebulization before LMA insertion on LMA insertion score (within 1 minute of LMA insertion) in adult patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

The secondary outcome measures are the effect of LMA insertion on heart rate, arterial blood pressure, SpO2, the first time insertion rate of the LMA, and postoperative complications during LMA removal (soft tissue trauma, coughing, and laryngospasm).

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups of equal size to receive lidocaine nebulization, group L (GL) or distilled water nebulization, group W (GW/control). Randomization will be performed using GL and GW registers, which will be placed in sealed envelopes prior to study initiation and opened prior to anesthesia by a physician who will prepare the solution for nebulization and will identify it with the patient number, according to the envelope drawn. Group L patients (n = 40) will receive 10 mL lidocaine 4%, and GW patients (n = 40) will receive 10 mL distilled water (DW) by nebulizer mask 5 min prior to anesthesia. All patients will be preoxygenated with 100% oxygen for 3 minutes via mask gently placed over the face and thereafter Propofol 2.5 mg/kg slowly IV plus Fentanyl 1 µg/kg IV will be used for induction of anesthesia, and isoflurane for maintenance of anesthesia in both groups.

After confirming sufficient level of anesthesia (loss of eye lash reflex and jaw relaxation), the standard technique for LMA insertion (Brain,s method) will be used in both groups. Water based jelly will be applied on the posterior surface of the LMA and pressed along the palato-pharyngeal curve using the index finger. It is finally pushed further down till resistance is felt. A size 3 LMA will be used in women and a size 4 in men. Proper placement of LMA will be confirmed with bilateral equally audible breath sounds, chest movements and square wave capnography. Patients will be allowed to breathe spontaneously after successful LMA insertion.

The overall insertion condition will be assessed via a modified three point scale consisting of six variables, which include:

Mouth opening (3: full; 2: partial; 1: none) Ease of insertion (3: easy; 2: difficult; 1: impossible) Swallowing (3: nil; 2: slight; 1: gross) Coughing or gagging (3: nil; 2: slight; 1: gross) Head or limbs movement (3: nil; 2: slight; 1: gross), and Laryngospasm (3: nil; 2: partial; 1: total). Total score Insertion condition 18 Excellent 16-17 Satisfactory <16 Poor Any failure of insertion in both groups (defined as failure to insert the LMA after 3rd time), will be managed by endotracheal intubation.

At the end of the operation, LMA will be removed under deep anesthesia and replaced with Guedel's airway. Oxygen will be continued with a face mask until full recovery, and then the patients will be moved to the PACU.

Being tested
Lidocaine Hydrochloride, Distilled Water

What participants receive

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

  • Lidocaine HydrochlorideDrug

    Also called Xylocaine

    Lidocaine hydrochloride will be used via mask nebulizer before LMA insertion

  • Distilled WaterDrug

    Also called DW

    Distilled Water will be used via mask nebulizer before LMA insertion

What is being measured

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

  1. LMA insertion score

    modified three point scale consisting of six variables, which measures the easiness of LMA insertion. Total score Insertion condition 18 Excellent 16-17 Satisfactory <16 Poor

    Measured: within 1 minute of LMA insertion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Heart rate

    Beat /min

    Measured: 1, 3, 5 minutes after LMA insertion

  2. Arterial blood pressure

    mm Hg

    Measured: 1, 3, 5 minutes after LMA insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Distilled Water in people with Airway Complication of Anesthesia, run by Assiut University.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mohamed Aly, MD (00201062011126, galalm1967@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

LMA insertion score (time frame: within 1 minute of LMA insertion). 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 NCT03361397, which also lists 2 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 4 Dec 2017.
