Which numbing method works best for awake intubation?
NCT ID NCT07627100
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to numb the airway before placing a breathing tube while the patient is awake: a nerve block injection versus lidocaine mist. Eighty adults with difficult airways will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which technique keeps heart rate and blood pressure more stable and improves patient comfort during the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
lidocaine
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a better way to keep patients stable and comfortable during awake intubation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both methods use lidocaine, which can cause side effects like allergic reactions or toxicity.
