Study aim
-
The aim of this study is to compare the convenience of tracheal extubation between two methods of filling the Endotracheal Tube cuff with Lidocaine 2% and air in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
-
Design
-
In this single-blind, two-arm, parallel-group controlled trial, 70 patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be randomly divided into two groups of filling the endotracheal tube cuff with lidocaine and air, given their documents number .
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study will be conducted in the operation room of Qazvin Velayat hospital. 0.02 mg/kg of midazolam and 2μg/kg of fentanyl will be used for premedication, 2mg/kg of propofol 1% will be used for induction of anesthesia and 0.5 mg/kg of atracurium will be used as muscle relaxant. In the Lidocaine group, the endotracheal tube cuff will be filled with lidocaine 2% and in the Air group, the cuff will be filled with air until the pressure reaches between 20 and 25 cm H2O. None of the patients were aware of the intervention.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria will be female gender; age between 20 and 60; and class 1&2 of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Classification. Exclusion criteria will be heart block or heart failure; unstable hemodynamics; depression; kidney or liver failure; lidocaine sensitivity; tracheal deformity; and lack of consent to partipate in study.
-
Intervention groups
-
Intervention and control groups includes patients under general anesthesia receiving intervention of filling the endotracheal tube cuff with lidocaine and air respectively.
-
Main outcome variables
-
Study outcomes will be patient's blood pressure and heart rate before induction of anesthesia, 30 and 60 minutes after induction, and before and after extubation; complications of intubation, including bucking, coughing and sore throat during recovery, 6 and 12 hours later.
