Preventing cough during anesthesia induction
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests a way to give a common pain medicine during anesthesia to reduce coughing when a breathing tube is placed. It aims to find the best dose for adults having scheduled surgery with general anesthesia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery that requires general anesthesia with a breathing tube.
- You are in generally good health (classified as ASA I-III).
- Your blood pressure and heart rate are within normal ranges when you arrive at the operating room.
- You do not have a history of chronic cough, asthma, COPD, or other lung diseases.
- You are not regularly taking opioid pain medications, and you are not allergic to sufentanil.

This study compares a new painkiller (oliceridine) to a standard one (sufentanil) to see which works better at stopping coughing when you first go under anesthesia for surgery. It may help you have a smoother start to your procedure.
This trial compares three drugs (dexmedetomidine, magnesium sulfate, and lidocaine) to see which best prevents coughing when waking up from anesthesia. It is for adults between 21 and 60 who are having surgery and are in good general health.
This trial tests whether tegileridine causes less coughing than sufentanil when given as part of anesthesia for surgery. It aims to find a better painkiller option for patients having surgery with a breathing tube.
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 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 study tests whether two different anesthesia approaches can reduce coughing after lung cancer surgery done through small incisions (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery). It may help you recover with less discomfort if you have a certain type of lung surgery.
