Spray may protect injured brains during routine hospital care
NCT ID NCT05058677
Summary
This study tested if a lidocaine spray given through a breathing tube could help prevent dangerous spikes in brain pressure when nurses suction mucus from the lungs of children with severe head injuries. It compared the spray to a liquid lidocaine drip and a saltwater drip in 10 children in intensive care. The goal was to see which method was safest and most effective at keeping brain pressure stable during this necessary but stressful procedure.
