Medication comparison for smooth breathing tube removal
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are scheduled for elective sinus surgery (FESS) under general anesthesia.
- You have a low risk for anesthesia complications (ASA I or II).

This study tests two common medicines given before surgery to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily and reduces coughing afterward in children ages 2–12. The breathing tube (laryngeal mask airway) keeps your child's airway open safely during surgery.
This study compares a nasal spray form of dexmedetomidine (a sedative and pain reliever) with the same drug given through an IV during sinus surgery. The goal is to see which method reduces the amount of opioids (strong painkillers) needed during the procedure.
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 a medication called dexmedetomidine (given as a mist through a nebulizer) can help keep your heart rate and blood pressure steady when a breathing tube is placed for surgery. It may be an option for people having planned surgery who want a smoother experience.
This trial tests whether dexmedetomidine or lignocaine better prevents dangerous heart-rate and blood-pressure changes when a breathing tube is placed during heart surgery. If you're having cardiac surgery and are at high risk for heart complications, this study may help protect your heart during the procedure.
This trial tests whether a breathing mist of two medicines (dexmedetomidine plus ketamine) works better than dexmedetomidine alone during cleft palate repair surgery. It may help improve comfort and safety around anesthesia for eligible patients.
