This study will compare two medicines, dexmedetomidine and lidocaine, given through a vein to help place a breathing tube (laryngeal mask) in 60 children aged 2-12 having elective surgery. The goal is to see which drug leads to a successful first attempt, fewer tries, and less coughing. The trial is not yet recruiting and is led by Assiut University.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dexmedetomidine and lidocaine
What this could lead to
If one drug works better, it could make airway tube insertion smoother and safer for children during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 children, so results may not apply to all kids or surgeries. Both drugs have side effects like slow heart rate or allergic reactions.
