Numbing spray before breathing tube for children's tonsil surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing spray (lignocaine) given before placing the breathing tube can reduce stress in children having tonsil surgery. It may help make the procedure smoother and less stressful for your child.
