Testing lidocaine or sufentanil to ease breathing tube placement
Treatments studied
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a planned surgery that requires a breathing tube (not an emergency).
- You are classified as ASA I (healthy) or ASA II (mild systemic disease) by your anesthesiologist.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 30.

This trial tests a way to lower side effects related to remifentanil, a strong pain medicine used during surgery. It may help by making surgery safer for people who are otherwise healthy enough for elective (planned) operations.
This trial compares two medicines—remifentanil and rocuronium—to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily during anesthesia. It may help you if you are having routine surgery and need a tube for breathing support.
This trial compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and lidocaine) given through a breathing tube to help prevent coughing and movement when the breathing tube is removed after sinus surgery. It may help you recover more comfortably.
This trial tests the pain medicine sufentanil to see how it affects blood pressure and heart rate during brain bypass surgery. It may help doctors better manage anesthesia for people having this type of surgery.
This trial tests two medications—metoprolol (a heart-rate slowing drug) and sufentanil (a pain reliever)—given together to prevent dangerous changes in heart rate and blood pressure when a breathing tube is placed during surgery. You would receive these as part of your normal anesthesia.
This trial tests two different pain medicines, nalbuphine and fentanyl, to see which one causes fewer changes in blood pressure and heart rate during the placement of a breathing tube for heart surgery.
