Purpose To determine the effect of topically applied lidocaine on perioperative airway complications when using a laryngeal mask airway device (LMAD) in children either with or without a history of recent or ongoing upper respiratory tract infection (URI). Methods In a randomized controlled double-blind trial, 34 children with a history of recent or ongoing URI and 32 non-URI children-all of whom were younger than age ten and scheduled to undergo minor surgical procedureswere randomly assigned to either a lidocaine or a placebo group. In the lidocaine group, an LMAD was lubricated with lidocaine gel before insertion, and a clear lubricating gel was used in the placebo group. The following data were recorded after standardized anesthesia induction and airway management: postoperative complications, such as coughing, desaturation, laryngospasm, and increased oral secretions, as well as length of stay in the postanesthetic recovery unit. Results Children with URI had a lower overall perioperative complication rate if they received a lidocaine gel (35%) rather than placebo (94%) (P \ 0.01). Also, the incidence of postoperative coughing was less (12% vs 53%; P = 0.03). In non-URI patients, lidocaine did not significantly reduce the rate of airway complications compared with placebo (17% vs 24%, respectively).Conclusion Lubrication of the LMAD with lidocaine gel reduces the incidence of airway complications in children with an upper respiratory tract infection. RésuméObjectif De´terminer l'effet d'une application topique de lidocaı¨ne sur les complications pe´riope´ratoires au niveau des voies ae´riennes lors de l'utilisation d'un masque larynge( LMAD) chez des enfants avec ou sans infection re´cente ou actuelle des voies respiratoires supe´rieures. Méthode Dans une e´tude randomise´e contrôle´e à double insu, 34 enfants avec une infection re´cente ou actuelle des voies respiratoires supe´rieures et 32 enfants sans infection, tous plus jeunes que 10 ans et devant subir des interventions chirurgicales mineures, ont e´te´randomise´s a`recevoir soit de la lidocaı¨ne, soit un placebo. Dans le groupe lidocaı¨ne, un LMAD a e´te´lubrifie´a`l'aide de lidocaı¨ne en gel avant l'insertion, et un gel lubrifiant clair a e´te´utilise´dans le groupe placebo. Les donne´es suivantes ont e´te´enregistre´es apre`s une induction de l'anesthe´sie et une prise en charge standard des voies ae´riennes: les complications postope´ratoires, telles que toux, de´saturation, laryngospasme et se´cre´tions orales accrues, ainsi que la dure´e de se´jour dans la salle de re´veil post-anesthe´sique. Résultats Les enfants souffrant d'infection des voies respiratoires supe´rieures ont montre´un taux global de complications pe´riope´ratoires plus bas lorsqu'ils ont reçu de la lidocaı¨ne en gel (35 %) plutôt que le placebo (94 %) (P\0,01). De plus, l'incidence de toux postope´ratoire e´tait moindre (12 % vs 53 %; P = 0,03). Chez les patients ne souffrant pas d'infection des voies respiratoires supe´rieures, la lidocaı¨ne n'a pas re´duit le taux de ...
The 2 systems thus apparently transfer comparable amounts of heat. Both appear suitable for maintaining normothermia even during large and long operations.
