Background: Post-extubation cough is a common phenomenon in surgical patients undergoing general anesthesia, which can lead to potentially dangerous complications. In this meta-analysis, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of intracuff alkalinized lidocaine in patients with tracheal intubation to prevent cough and other airway complications during the perioperative period.
Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of intracuff alkalinized lidocaine for the prevention of postoperative airway complications.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared intracuff alkalinized lidocaine to placebo. We used risk-of-bias assessment to assess the RCTs, and the quality of evidence was assessed using the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluations.
Results: Twelve randomized trials (1175 patients) were analyzed. Meta-analysis showed that intracuff alkalinized lidocaine was associated with less cough compared to that produced by placebo [risk ratio (RR): 0.38; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.23-0.63]. Similarly, intracuff alkalinized lidocaine was more effective than the control in reducing postoperative sore throat at 24 h (RR: 0.19; 95%CI: 0.09-0.41) and postoperative hoarseness (RR: 0.38; 95%CI: 0.21-0.69).
Conclusion: Intracuff alkalinized lidocaine is an effective adjuvant that can decrease airway complications, such as coughing, hoarseness, and sore throat.

Extubation is associated with hemodynamic changes and emergence phenomena leading to cough, sore throat, dysphonia, and dysphagia in the postoperative period. The aim of our study was to compare intracuff 2% alkalinized lignocaine with 1% alkalinized lignocaine and saline in reducing endotracheal tube induced emergence phenomena and haemodynamic changes at extubation in neurosurgical patients. In this randomized controlled study, 90 adult patients of either sex, scheduled to undergo neurosurgical procedures were randomly divided into three groups of 30 each to receive either 1% alkalinized lignocaine (AL1), 2% alkalinized lignocaine (AL2), or saline as cuff inflation media.

Introduction: postoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complication after general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation caused by tracheal mucosal injury. Multiple techniques prevent postoperative sore throat (POST). Our study aimed to compare two techniques: intravenous and intracuff lidocaine versus placebo to prevent postoperative sore throat after general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation.

Background: Postoperative sore throat is one of the main postoperative complaints in patients undergoing tonsillectomy. As the primary outcome, we aimed to determine whether endotracheal tube cuffs filled with alkalinized lidocaine are associated with a lower incidence of postoperative sore throat and anesthesia emergence phenomena in children undergoing tonsillectomy or adenotonsillectomy. We also assessed the potential additional benefits of IV dexamethasone in reducing postoperative laryngotracheal morbidity.

Purpose: The use of an endotracheal tube (ET) cuff filled with alkalized lidocaine (AL) can suppress ET-induced emergence phenomena, such as hypertension, tachycardia and coughing, and postoperative sore throat (POST) and hoarseness (PH). The efficacy of intracuff lidocaine may vary depending on the cuff shape, but there has been no study on the effects of a tapered cuff filled with AL. We examined whether intracuff AL suppresses ET-induced emergence phenomena, POST and PH.
