Evaluating Ropivacaine and Lidocaine in the Endotracheal Tube Cuff on Post-Operative Sore Throat Incidence and Severity - A Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ropivacaine 0.5% Injectable Solution, Lidocaine 2% Preservative-Free Injectable Solution, and 1 other intervention for Pharyngitis and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 63 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
In elective gynecology and general surgery patients age 18 and over requiring endotracheal tube (ETT) intubation, what is the efficacy of ropivacaine 0.5% vs. lidocaine 2% as the medium to inflate the ETT cuff, compared to the standard of air, in reducing the incidence and severity of POST on post-op day one?

Timeline
Interventions
Ropivacaine 0.5% will used to inflate the endotracheal tube cuff using the stethoscope guided inflation technique described by Kumar and Hirsch (2). The anesthesiologist will documented the volume in millilitres instilled into the cuff to create a seal. Once a seal was created the anesthesiologist will documented the ETT cuff pressure. If an endotracheal cuff leak occurred during the surgical procedure, the randomized solution was used to inflate the cuff.
