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.
