Comparing lidocaine methods for bronchoscopy comfort
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests different ways of using lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to make a bronchoscopy (a lung exam with a thin, flexible tube) more comfortable. It may help find the best approach for reducing pain or coughing during the procedure.

This trial tests whether spraying a numbing medicine (lidocaine) on the vocal cords before placing a breathing tube helps reduce discomfort during robotic surgery. If you are having robotic surgery with general anesthesia, this study may help make the tube insertion easier.
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (liposomal vs. hydrochloride bupivacaine) injected near the ribs during lung surgery. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief after the operation.
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine gel on the breathing tube before surgery can reduce post-operative sore throat and coughing. It aims to make recovery more comfortable for patients having general anesthesia.
This trial compares two drug combinations used to keep you comfortable and relaxed during a bronchoscopy. One uses propofol with pethidine, the other midazolam with pethidine. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through an IV during esophageal surgery can lower the chance of lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly.
This trial compares two forms of a numbing medicine (bupivacaine) injected near the spine to reduce pain after lung surgery. It aims to find which works better for controlling pain after a lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe).
