Background: During the bronchoscopy process, successful passage of the tracheoscope through the glottis can affect the following procedure of bronchoscopy. Therefore, safer, more effective and less painful anesthesia methods are particularly important for the bronchoscopy success rate.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 1% tetracaine hydrochloride injection pure solution aerosol inhalation combined with oral administration of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage during bronchoscopy.

Methods: Patients who need bronchoscopy or bronchoscope treatment were randomly assigned to two groups; group A received pure tetracaine hydrochloride injection solution (3 mL of 1% tetracaine hydrochloride) aerosol inhalation combined with oral 5 mL of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and group B received diluted tetracaine hydrochloride injection (3 mL of 1% tetracaine hydrochloride injection + 3 mL of sterile water for injection) aerosol inhalation combined with oral 5 mL of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage. The anesthetic effect and adverse reactions of these groups were observed and compared.

Result: A total of 523 patients were randomized. The results showed that patient's tolerance, cough response, glottis opening during the bronchoscope into the glottis and the time required to the tracheoscope pass through the glottis were obviously significantly better in group A than in group B. Vital signs including blood pressure, heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation were more stable in group A than in group B.

Conclusion: The 1% tetracaine hydrochloride injection pure liquid aerosol inhalation combined with oral administration of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage as upper airway anesthesia is effective and safe for bronchoscopy. This method of local anesthesia is worthy of clinical application.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the local anesthetic tetracaine hydrochloride (TTC) can induce a type of cell death called pyroptosis specifically in uveal melanoma cells, which helps to fight cancer by triggering immune responses.
  • Researchers used various methods, including transcriptome sequencing and gene editing, to confirm that TTC prompts pyroptosis via a specific protein called gasdermin E (GSDME) and caspase-3 in uveal melanoma.
  • The findings suggest that TTC may serve as a promising therapeutic agent for uveal melanoma by enhancing immune responses through pyroptosis, indicating potential for use in cancer treatment strategies.

Tetracaine, a local anesthetic, exhibits potent cytotoxic effects on multiple cancer; however, the precise underlying mechanisms of its anti-cancer activity remain uncertain. The anti-cancer activity of tetracaine was found to be the most effective among commonly used local anesthetics in this study. After tetracaine treatment, the differentially expressed genes in melanoma cells were identified by the RNAseq technique and enriched in the lysosome signaling pathway, cullin family protein binding, and proteasome signaling pathway through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.

Purpose: Healthcare professionals (HCP) perform various needle procedures that can be distressing and painful for children and adults. Even though many strategies have been proven effective in reducing distress and pain, topical anesthetic use before needle procedures is uncommon. However, there are limited studies in the existing literature comparing specifically liposomal lidocaine and tetracaine hydrochloride topical creams.

Background: This study compared topical anesthesia to a combination of topical anesthesia and subconjunctival anesthesia for phacoemulsification.

Methods: This double-blinded parallel placebo-controlled randomized trial involved senile cataract patients scheduled for phacoemulsification between May and December 2022. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either topical anesthesia with 0.

Tetracaine hydrochloride (TTC) is a long-lasting local anesthetic commonly used for topical anesthesia. Inappropriate dosage or allergic reactions to TTC can lead to local anesthetic toxicity. TTC exerts cytotoxic effects on certain cell types by inducing apoptosis and necrosis; however, the effects of TTC on macrophages are currently unclear.
