NCT03031808

Brief Summary

When a surgical procedure is performed under general anesthesia, the Airways are often secured With an endotracheal tube. Some patients experience sore throat thereafter. Studies have shown a reduction of these side effects when by use of muscle relaxants or a lidocain spray prior to the intubation. At Ostfold Hospital Trust, the investigators use one of the two methods or nothing. These methods will be studied systematically. Heart rate and blood pressure rise during the intubation procedure. The investigators will also study the differences between the groups.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Sore Throat postoperative. Assessment of complaints and changes in complaints

    Postoperative sore throat, described 2 h and 24 h after extubation. If the patient has sore throat or is hoarse, the complaint is assessed on a VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) 1 - 10.

    2 h and 24 h after extubation

  • Intubation conditions directly after induction of anesthesia

    Describes the intubation conditions: Jaw relaxation, resistance to laryngoscopy blade, the position and movement of vocal cords, the movement of limbs and coughing. Each variable rates as excellent, good or poor. Intubation conditions are many variables described once and should not be divided into several outcomes.

    90 sec. after established general anesthesia

  • Hemodynamic parameters, change in HR (Heart Rate) is being assessed

    Describes changes in HR (Heart Rate)

    Prior to induction, then every second minute the next 15 minutes, thereafter every 15 minute until end of surgery (max. 2 h.)

  • Hemodynamic parameters, change in BP (blood pressure) is being assessed

    Describes changes in BP(Blood Pressure)

    Prior to induction, then every second minute the next 15 minutes, thereafter every 15 minute until end of surgery (max. 2 h.)

Study Arms (3)

Lidocaine spray

OTHER

Endotracheal lidocaine spray prior to intubation

Drug: Lidocaine spray (2%)

Muscle relaxant

OTHER

Muscle relaxant prior to intubation

Drug: Muscle Relaxant (Rocuronium)

No Muscle relaxant, no Lidocaine

OTHER

'No Muscle relaxant, no Lidocaine Control group

Other: No Muscle relaxant, no Lidocaine

Interventions

Spraying trachea from 2 cm above the vocal cords and 5 cm down with a straw with multiple side holes

Also known as: Xylocain 2% Astra Zeneca
Lidocaine spray

After induction of anesthesia, the participants are given 0,6 mg/kg bodyweight intravenously.

Also known as: Esmeron MSD
Muscle relaxant

This group get general anesthesia without Rocuronium or Lidocaine

Also known as: Control group
No Muscle relaxant, no Lidocaine

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Scheduled elective surgery with general anesthesia and planned endotracheal intubation.

You may not qualify if:

  • ASA≥3,
  • \>BMI\<35
