Lidocaine spray vs. IV for eye pressure after intubation
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to see which better prevents a rise in pressure around the eye after a breathing tube is placed. It may help patients having planned surgery who are at low risk for eye or brain problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how four different medications affect pressure inside the skull during the placement of a breathing tube for surgery. The medications are lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, esmolol, and magnesium—all commonly used to calm the body's response to intubation.
This trial compares two types of needles used for spinal anesthesia to see if one type causes less pressure change around the optic nerve. If you are having lower leg or knee surgery with a tourniquet and are generally healthy, this study may be for you.
This study compares two types of breathing tubes used during general anesthesia in children to see how they affect the size of the optic nerve sheath, which can indicate pressure changes in the brain.
This study is for people having kidney stone surgery. It looks at how the position you are in during surgery affects the nerve sheath around your eye, which may help doctors monitor pressure in the brain.
This study compares two ways to numb your throat before doctors place a breathing tube while you're awake. The goal is to find which method keeps your heart rate and blood pressure more stable during the procedure.
This study measures eye pressure changes during spine surgery while you are lying face down. It helps doctors understand how this position affects the eyes, which is important for patient safety.
