Randomized Controlled TrialUsefulness of an automatic cuff pressure controller (SmartCuff) in inhibiting gasleakage around the cuff after tracheal intubation: a randomized controlled study.
Gas leakage around the cuff of a tracheal tube may frequently occur after tracheal intubation and inflation of the cuff. We assessed if the SmartCuff (Smiths Medical Japan, Tokyo, Japan), an automatic cuff pressure controller, would effectively prevent gas leakage. ⋯ Gas leakage may frequently occur after tracheal intubation, and the use of the SmartCuff can effectively maintain the sealing effect of the cuff.

Comparison of lidocaine viscous gargle and topical application on laryngeal mask airway in general anesthesia: A randomized clinical trial.
To investigate the effects and safety of lidocaine viscous gargle on postoperative sore throat (POST) in patients receiving a laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in general anesthesia. ⋯ Lidocaine viscous gargle showed no statistically significant difference in incidence of POST and incidence of pharynx dryness compared with topical application of lidocaine on the LMA. Both approaches were safe for patients receiving LMA.Chinese Clinical Trial Register No.: ChiCTR2200059720.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of rocuronium priming vs. standard rapid sequence intubation technique in emergency department patients requiring intubation.
In our study, we aimed to compare the effect of standard rapid sequence intubation protocol and the application of rocuronium priming technique on the procedure time and hemodynamic profile. ⋯ NCT05343702.

Randomized Controlled TrialPreoperative Ultrasound-Guided Internal Branch Block of Superior Laryngeal Nerve Reduces Postoperative Sore Throat Caused by Double Lumen Endotracheal Intubation: A Randomized Trial.
Postoperative sore throat (POST) is one of the more common side effects of tracheal intubation patients under general anesthesia (GA) after extubation using double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs). The internal branches of the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) block (iSLNB) have been reported to anesthetize the larynx for airway manipulation (such as awake tracheal intubation) and pain treatment efficiently. We hypothesized that ultrasound-guided iSLNB (US-guided iSLNB) combined with GA would ameliorate the incidence and severity of POST and hoarseness. ⋯ Preoperative US-guided iSLNB could significantly ameliorate the incidence and severity of POST induced by double-lumen bronchial catheter intubation.
