NCT01774292

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determined whether the administration of alkalized 4% lidocaine (160 mg) in the endotracheal tube cuff is effective in diminishing the incidence of coughing at extubation in surgeries lasting more than 2 hours without the use of nitrous oxide as an anesthetic agent.
