Article Synopsis
- A one-year placebo-controlled trial assessed the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine in preventing post-extubation laryngospasm in children (3 months to 6 years) after cleft palate surgeries.
- Children were divided into two groups: one received saline (placebo) and the other received lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg).
- Results showed a 29.9% reduction in laryngospasm and an 18.92% reduction in coughing for those who received lidocaine, indicating its effectiveness in this scenario.
