Official title
Intravenous Dexmedetomidine Vs. Lidocaine for Laryngeal Mask Insertion Conditions In Pediatric Patients Undergoing Elective Surgeries, A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Overview
Laryngeal Mask Airways Are Supraglottic Devices Used to Maintain Airway Patency During Anesthesia and in Difficult Airways. LMA may help in reducing postoperative pulmonary complications. IV Dexmedetomidine Improves LMA Insertion Success and Decreases trials number, While IV Lidocaine Decreases Postoperative Cough. This is a randomized interventional trial comparing both drugs. IV DEX will be compared vs IV lidocaine regarding the feasibility of insertion, number of trials, incidence of cough, postoperative pulmonary complications and hemodynamic profile.
Interventions
- Drug Dexamedomedine
IV 0.2 mic/ kg of dexmedetomidine will be diluted over 10 ml saline and given to the patient over 10 minutes before induction and assess the feasibility of classic LMA insertion - Drug Lidocaine (drug)
IV 1.5 mg/kg of lidocaine will be diluted over 10 ml saline and given to the patient 1 minute before induction and assess the feasibility of classic LMA insertion
Primary outcome measures
- First-attempt insertion success rate [Time frame: After induction of anesthesia]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Ease of insertion (4-point scale) [Time frame: After Induction of anesthesia]
- Heart rate [Time frame: Every 15 minutes till recovery]
- MAP [Time frame: Every 15 minutes]
- Recovery Time [Time frame: After cessation of anesthesia administration]
- Postoperative Agitation [Time frame: In PACU]
- Postoperative Complications [Time frame: 0,1,2,6 hours postoperative.]
- PONV [Time frame: 24 hours postoperative]
- Postoperative sore throat (0-3 scale). [Time frame: 24 hours postoperative]
