简要总结
Topical Pharyngeal anesthesia (TPA) is widely used during upper endoscopy. Articaine is local anaesthetic that have not been previously evaluated in pharyngeal anesthesia for upper endoscopy. The aim of this study was to compare pharyngeal anesthesia with 4% articaine to placebo (Na0,9%) during gastroscopy in terms of benefit on patients' and endoscopists' satisfaction.
详细描述
Topical Pharyngeal anesthesia (TPA) is widely used as an adjunct to sedation during upper endoscopy. TPA improves patient tolerance and the ease of endoscopy.1 Methemoglobinemia and anaphylactic reactions are serious complications of such topical anaesthetic agents, as lidocaine, tetracaine, and benzocaine. Articaine is as a unique amide local anaesthetic that possesses both an amide and an ester linkage and this is of clinical significance in minimizing the risk of overdose (toxic reaction). In routine dental procedures, articaine is a superior anaesthetic to lidocaine. Also, in comparison to lidocaine articaine acts faster and its duration of action is shorter what may be an advantage in such relatively fast procedures as gastroscopy. Articaine have not been previously evaluated in pharyngeal anesthesia for upper endoscopy. The aim of this randomised double-blind placebo controlled study was to compare pharyngeal anesthesia with 4% articaine to placebo (Na0,9%) during gastroscopy in terms of benefit on patients' and endoscopists'satisfaction.

研究组 & 干预措施
articaine
Pharyngeal anesthesia with articaine 4% or placebo should randomly and double-blindly applied in turns for every volunteer. In details: 3 ml of Articaine 4%solution or placebo (NaCl 0,9%) will be sprayed into the pharynx 5 minutes before beginning of gastroscopy. Also gastroscope will be lubricated with articaine (or placebo) gel(prepared by adding 4% articaine or 0,9%NaCl in placebo grope to Endopurin® endoscopic lubricant at the day of study).
干预措施: articaine (Drug)
placebo
Pharyngeal anesthesia with placebo or articaine 4% should be randomly and double-blindly applied in turns for every volunteer. In details: 3 ml of placebo or Articaine 4% solution should be sprayed into the pharynx 5 minutes before beginning of gastroscopy. Also gastroscope will be lubricated with placebo(or articaine) gel(prepared by adding 4% articaine or 0,9%NaCl in placebo grope to Endopurin® endoscopic lubricant at the day of study).
干预措施: 9% Sodium Chloride solution for injection (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
satisfaction with gastroscopy
时间窗: one day
Volunteers were asked to evaluate unpleasantness of gastroscopy (0- most unpleasant, 10-most pleasant), overall satisfaction with gastroscopy (0-extremely dissatisfied 7-extremely satisfied)
次要结局
- vital signs(one day)
- easiness of gastroscopy performance(one day)
