Lidocaine spray before breathing tube placement in robotic surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests whether spraying a numbing medicine (lidocaine) on the vocal cords before placing a breathing tube helps reduce discomfort during robotic surgery. If you are having robotic surgery with general anesthesia, this study may help make the tube insertion easier.

This study tests different ways of using lidocaine (a numbing medicine) to make a bronchoscopy (a lung exam with a thin, flexible tube) more comfortable. It may help find the best approach for reducing pain or coughing during the procedure.
This study tests a low-pressure breathing method during robot-assisted surgery to see if it helps protect your lungs. It's for adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery expected to last at least 2 hours.
This trial tests whether putting lidocaine gel on the breathing tube before surgery can reduce post-operative sore throat and coughing. It aims to make recovery more comfortable for patients having general anesthesia.
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.
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 if giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through an IV during esophageal surgery can lower the chance of lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly.
