Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction of the occurrence of sore throat in postoperative period evaluated by face pain scale, ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain) and recorded as percentage of occurrence;Outcome evaluated:<br>Sore throat at the post anesthesia care unit (values are % of occurrence):<br>Group Air (control): 12.2%; Group Normal saline: 12.2%; Group 0.5% Alkalinized lidocaine: 2.4%; Group 1% Alkalinized lidocaine: 2.4% (qui-square test, p = 0.12).<br>Sore throat 8 hours after tracheal extubation (values are % of occurrence):<br>Group Air (control): 22.0%; Group Normal saline: 9.8%; Group 0.5% Alkalinized lidocaine: 4.8%; Group 1% Alkalinized lidocaine: 2.4% (qui-square test, p = 0.015). Then, pairwise comparison performed: Group Air vs. Group 0.5% Alkalinized lidocaine, p < 0.05; Group Air vs. Group 1% Alkalinized lidocaine, p < 0.05. All other comparisons, p > 0.05.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of plasma levels of lidocaine, by blood sample collected 30 minutes after tracheal intubation;Outcome evaluated:<br>Plasma lidocaine concentration. Values are mean and standard deviation, between parentheses, and are expressed as ng/dl:<br>Group 0.5% Alkalinized lidocaine: 48.4 (53.7)<br>Group 1% Alkalinized lidocaine: 77.4 (217.61)<br>p = 0.56
