NCT06705595

Brief Summary

This clinical trial aims to determine if different local anesthetic application techniques can reduce postoperative sore throat (POST) and manage hemodynamic responses in adult patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery with double-lumen intubation. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does inhaled lidocaine or lidocaine applied to the double-lumen tube reduce the incidence and severity of POST?
  • How do these anesthetic techniques impact hemodynamic stability during surgery? Researchers will compare three groups-those receiving inhaled lidocaine, lidocaine applied to the tube, and a saline control group-to see if these methods differ in effectiveness. Participants will:
  • Undergo standard preoperative assessment and provide informed consent
  • Be randomly assigned to receive either inhaled lidocaine, lidocaine applied to the tube, or saline
  • Have sore throat scores and hemodynamic data recorded at specific intervals after surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative Sore Throat (POST)

    The severity of POST will be assessed at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery using a throat pain score, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 5 (worst imaginable pain).

    2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Intraperative Hemodynamic Responses

    Basal measurements and 5 minutes after intubation.

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative Complications:

    Postoperative 2. 6. 12. and 24. hours

Study Arms (3)

Group T (Inhaled Lidocaine)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive 2 ml of 10% lidocaine via a Tracheo-Spray device before anesthesia induction.

Drug: Tracheo-Spray

Group X (Lidocaine Applied to the Double-Lumen Tube):

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive 10% lidocaine sprayed directly onto the distal surface and cuffs of the double-lumen tube.

Drug: Lidocaine Spray on DLT

Group C (Control)

SHAM COMPARATOR

Participants will receive 1 ml of 0.9% saline as a placebo.

Drug: Saline (Placebo)

Interventions

Participants will receive 2 ml of 10% lidocaine delivered via a Tracheo-Spray device to the tracheal mucosa before anesthesia induction.

Group T (Inhaled Lidocaine)

Before intubation, participants will receive 10% lidocaine spray applied to the distal surface and cuffs of the double-lumen tube (DLT).

Group X (Lidocaine Applied to the Double-Lumen Tube):

Before intubation, participants will receive 1 ml of 0.9% saline applied to the distal surface and cuffs of the double-lumen tube (DLT).

Group C (Control)

Masking Details
Statisticians: The statisticians analyzing the data will remain blinded to the group assignments during the initial stages of analysis to avoid any bias in the interpretation of the results. Unblinding will occur only after the data is fully collected and the analysis plan is in place. Data Collection Staff: The staff collecting data in the operating room, recovery room, and patient wards (e.g., monitoring vital signs and postoperative complications) will be blinded to the specific treatment group of the patient. This minimizes any potential bias during the collection of clinical data.
