Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The application of lidocaine cream on oral secretions of LMA removal during the recovery period in ophthalmic surgical patients under general anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

During the recovery from general anesthesia, patients commonly experience heightened oral secretions, which can elevate intraocular pressure (IOP) due to coughing and potentially lead to the infiltration of secretions into the surgical site via the nasolacrimal duct, increasing the risk of endophthalmitis. This study is aimed to investigate whether applying lidocaine cream to the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) reduces oral secretions during emergence from general anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The uniform application group (group U)

1 ml of lidocaine cream will be evenly applied to the posterior surface of the LMA cuff before insertion

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

lidocaine cream

Intervention Type DRUG

Group U receives 1 mL of lidocaine cream extracted using a syringe and evenly applied across the entire posterior surface of the LMA cuff by carefully spreading the cream to ensure uniform coverage, while Group N receives 1 mL of lidocaine cream also extracted using a syringe but applied without ensuring even distribution, resulting in a patchy or non-uniform application.

The non-uniform application group (group N)

1 mL of lidocaine cream will be applied to the posterior surface without ensuring uniform coverage before insertion

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type DRUG

Group U receives 1 mL of lidocaine cream extracted using a syringe and evenly applied across the entire posterior surface of the LMA cuff by carefully spreading the cream to ensure uniform coverage, while Group N receives 1 mL of lidocaine cream also extracted using a syringe but applied without ensuring even distribution, resulting in a patchy or non-uniform application.

The control group (group C)

No lidocaine cream will be applied to the LMA

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

No lidocaine cream will be applied to the LMA
