Numbing gel for breathing tube insertion in emergencies
Treatments studied
This trial tests if adding a numbing gel to standard care helps doctors insert a breathing tube more quickly on the first try. If you need a breathing tube in the emergency room and are over 18, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
This trial tests two methods for giving oxygen before placing a breathing tube in an emergency. It looks at which technique causes fewer problems and helps oxygen levels stay stable.
This study tests two ways to numb the airway before placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It compares a nerve block injection versus a lidocaine mist to see which better controls heart rate and blood pressure during the procedure.
This trial tests a new way to give medication to help place a breathing tube during surgery. It looks at how well this method works for patients who are not at high risk for complications.
