Comparing two numbing methods for awake breathing tube placement
This study tests two ways to numb the airway before placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It compares a nerve block injection versus a lidocaine mist to see which better controls heart rate and blood pressure during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and lignocaine, to see which one better keeps your heart rate and blood pressure stable when the breathing tube is removed after surgery. It aims to find a safe and effective option, especially in settings with limited resources.
This study compares different methods for placing a breathing tube while you are awake. It is for people who are having planned surgery and might have a difficult airway—for example, if doctors expect challenges with a face mask, a breathing tube, or if you have a short time before you stop breathing.
This study tests two ways to numb the neck for placing a breathing tube while you're awake. It might help if you have a difficult airway that makes regular intubation harder.
This study compares two ways of giving a numbing medicine (lidocaine) before a breathing tube is placed during anesthesia. The goal is to see if giving it in the throat or through the vein affects pressure behind the eyes.
This study compares two ways to numb the chest area during minimally invasive lung surgery to see if one keeps blood sugar levels more stable after surgery. Both approaches are used to help manage pain.
This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
