Clinical Trial Summary

This randomised, prospective study performed in Ain shams university hospitals over 126 Patients ASA I and ASA II, trauma patients who suffered isolated mandibular fractures and necessitated nasal intubation during general anesthesia. The patients were randomly assigned to one of two equal groups: nasal Lidocaine drops followed by Oxymetazoline nasal drops group (OL) or Epinephrine mixed with Lidocaine as nebulization session (EL) group.


Clinical Trial Description

One group received epinephrine mixed with lidocaine as nebulization session (EL group) and the other group received nasal lidocaine drops followed by Oxymetazoline nasal drops group (OL). Before the preparation of the airway, we examined the nasal cavity by using a light source to select the target nostril; if we could not determine, we chose the right nostril. No premedication was administered. Group (EL) (63 patients) received a session of nebulization in the pre-induction area, consisting of 1 ml epinephrine (1:1000 Martindale Pharma, an Ethypharm Group Company, ampoule 1 mg added to 9 ml of normal saline, then 1 ml of that put in nebulization cup + 2 ml lidocaine 2%), nebulized prior to the induction of anesthesia. Group OL (63 patients): These patients received five drops of lidocaine hydrochloride (Xylocaine 2%, 20 mg/ml; AstraZeneca, London, UK) using a prefilled dropper, followed by six drops of hydrochloride Oxymetazoline (Otrivin adult nasal drops 0.1%, 10 ml of 1 mg/ml; Novartis Consumer Health, UK Ltd, 980 Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex, TW8 9GS, UK) in each nostril in the ;
