 “EFFECTS OF INTRAVENOUS LIGNOCAINE 2% AND LIGNOCAINE SPRAY 10% FOR INTUBATION RESPONSE IN PATIENTS WITH EJECTION FRACTION <50% - COMPARATIVE STUDY"

INTRODUCTION

 

Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation is one of the commonest procedures done by all anesthesiologists on daily basis. Direct laryngoscopy and intubation leads to reflex release of catecholamines resulting in hemodynamic response meaning transient increase in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure[1,2] and occasionally cardiac arrhythmias[3] .

Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is an essential part of general anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. Direct laryngoscopy and intubation through the larynx is a noxious stimulus, which can provoke unwanted response in the cardiovascular, respiratory and other physiological systems[4]  .

 Lignocaine is the most frequently used local anesthetic, available in multiple concentrations. It is also routinely used by various techniques for local, peripheral and epidural anesthesia. One of the uses of lignocaine is to anaesthetize airway. Intravenous lignocaine acts by inhibiting sympathetic response associated with intubation by increasing threshold for stimulation of airway and central inhibition of sympathetic transmission, dose which used for this action is 1.5mg/kg IV bolus which has 30% depressive effect on CVS [5,6,7].

     Lignocaine has been evaluated in numerous trials as a spray or gel to suppress response associated with laryngoscopy[8,9,10]. It has also been used to reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat, cough, and hoarseness of voic1[11,12,13,14]. This anesthetic has also been given via nebulizer for awake intubation in difficult airway patients[15,16]. More commonly, lignocaine inhalation has been utilized to reduce the frequency of chronic cough in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD)[17,18]. This route of administration appears to produce low serum levels and a reduced frequency of adverse effects compared to gel or spray formulations.

       We plan to compare lignocaine spray (10%) and intravenous lignocaine(2%, 1.5mg/kg) to attenuate the sympathoadrenal response along with standard drugs used for premedication and induction. This study has been designed to assess the effects on hemodynamic parameters due to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in patient undergoing CABG with ejection fraction less than or equal to 50%.

2)              Lignocaine 10%  spray  attached with spraying nozzle.

 


STUDY PROCEDURE/ DATA COLLECTION METHOD:

Pre anaesthesia assessment:

 Prior to surgery, preoperative visit were made and a detailed history of the patient was taken. Informed consent was taken from all the patients included in the study.

Following informed consent along with proper preoperative evaluation and relevant investigations as per the case record form the patient was randomly allocated to either of the two groups.

 Randomization was done using random number table generated from computer software.

The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:

Ø Group 1 (n=30): Intravenous 2% lignocaine (preservative free) 1.5mg/kg

Ø Group 2 (n=30): lignocaine spray 10%

Ø  

After obtaining written consent, initial pre-operative counseling was done to gain confidence of patient, thereby minimizing the emotional component of stress.

All the patients were given intradermal test dose of 0.2ml 2 % lignocaine on ventral aspect of left forearm.

The nature of the procedure was explained to the patients. Baseline reading which included heart rate (beats/min), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) and mean arterial pressure (mmHg), central venous pressure (CVP) and electrocardiogram (ECG) for all cases were noted pre operatively.

Procedures for study drug administration and for anesthetic induction were rigorously standardized.

·     GROUP 1: After standard induction, this group of patients received intravenous 2% Lignocaine (preservative free) 3 minutes prior to laryngoscopy .

·     GROUP 2: Patients vocal cords were sprayed with 10% lignocaine spray as soon as the vocal cords are visualized by direct laryngoscopy.

 

Patient taken to the operation theatre, where automated recordings (Data scope) of heart rate (HR) and systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean (MBP) blood pressures were recorded at 0 min, 1 min, 3min and repeated at 5-minute interval till 20 mins from induction. After 3 minutes of pre-oxygenation, premedication with Inj. Glycopyrrolate (4ug/kg), Inj. Midazolam (0.03mg/kg), Inj. buprenorphine (1mcg/kg) was given. This was followed by induction of General Anaesthesia with Inj. Thiopentone (5 mg/kg) followed by Inj. Vecuronium (0.1mg/kg) and the patient was  intubated.

Group 1 received intravenous 2% lignocaine (preservative free) 1.5 mg/kg 180 sec just before laryngoscopy.

Laryngoscopy was done at 3 minutes after dose of Vecuronium for passage of the endotracheal tube followed by mechanical ventilation  with 1.2%  Isoflurane  in  60%  Air/ 40%  O2  at  2 L/min and adequate tidal volume. The patient was  left undisturbed for an additional 20 minutes of hemodynamic recordings, at which point the study was terminated.

The standard monitors were used on all patients to eliminate variability in determining blood pressure or heart rate and recording data. Our induction technique was parallel the drug dosages and sequence frequently used in the anesthesia department.

 

Method for Statistical Analysis:

   The quantitative data was represented as their Mean ± SD. Categorical and nominal data were expressed in percentage. The t-test was used for analyzing quantitative data, or else non parametric data, was analysed by Mann-Whitney test. Categorical data was analysed by using chi-square test. The significance threshold of p value was set at < 0.05. All analysis was carried out by using SPSS software version 21.

 

AIRWAY ANATOMY [19, 20]

The relevant anatomy of the posterior surface of the tongue, the soft palate, epiglottis, larynx and trachea, with their nerve supply is explained briefly to understand the physiological effects of endotracheal intubation.

TONGUE:

It is a soft mobile organ which is present in floor of the mouth. The posterior part of the tongue forms the anterior wall of the oropharynx. The dorsum of the tongue is long and extends from the tip to the base of the epiglottis and with it forms the glosso-epiglottic fold. It is separated into palatine and pharyngeal parts by a V shaped sulcus terminalis. The thick mucous membrane covering the tongue is posteriorly continuous with that on the anterior surface of epiglottis over the median and lateral glosso-epiglottic folds and the valleculae of the epiglottis between them.

 

EPIGLOTTIS:

Epiglottis is a leaf like structure. Its lower tapering end is attach to the back of the thyroid cartilage with the help of thyro-epiglottic ligament 


LARYNX:


The anaesthesiologist should be thorough with knowledge of the anatomy of the larynx. The larynx is located within the anterior aspect of the neck, anterior to the inferior portion of the pharynx and superior to the trachea. Its primary function is to protect the lower airway by closing abruptly upon mechanical stimulation, thereby halting respiration and preventing the entry of foreign matter in to the airway. Other function of larynx includes phonation, coughing, the Valsalva maneuver and control of ventilation, and acting as sensory organ. Structurally, the larynx composed of 3 large unpaired cartilages (cricoid, thyroid, epiglottis); 3 paired cartilages which are small (arytenoids, corniculate, cuneiform); and a number of intrinsic muscles. The hyoid bone, while technically not a part of larynx, provides muscular attachments from above that aid in laryngeal motion. Larynx extends from C4-C6 cervical vertebra.

 

Figure 1. Entrance to larynx (posterior view)

The laryngeal inlet has large oblique shaped opening bounded by epiglottis antero-posteriorly. Bounded on each side by the aryepiglottic fold of mucous membrane and postero-inferiorly by the inter-arytenoid fold of mucous membrane. Each aryepiglottic fold is a narrow and deep fold that extends postero-inferiorly from the margin of the epiglottis to the arytenoid cartilage. It contains the aryepiglottic muscle and near its inferior end two small pieces of cartilage which form the cuneiform and corniculate tubercules in its free edge. The interarytenoid fold of mucous membrane passes between them forms the inferior boundary of inlet and encloses the muscle which passes between the posterior surfaces of the arytenoid cartilages.

Vocal cords are two folds of mucous membrane stretching antero-posteriorly from the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilage to the posterior surface of the thyroid cartilage and enclosed within each of them is a band of fibroelastic tissue known as the vocal ligament. The opening between the two folds forms the glottis which is the narrowest portion of the airways in the adult.

 


                                            Figure 2. Laryngoscopic view of vocal cord

 

To view the larynx at direct laryngoscopy and then to pass a tracheal tube depends on getting the mouth, the oropharynx and the larynx into one plane. Flexion of the neck brings the axes of the oropharynx and the larynx in line but the axis of the mouth still remains at right angles to the others; their alignment is achieved by full extension of the head at the atlanto-occipital joint. This is the position, with the nose craning forwards and upwards.

On laryngoscopy, first views the base of the tongue, the valleculae and the anterior surface of the epiglottis. The laryngeal aditus then comes into view bounded in front by the posterior aspect of the epiglottis, with its prominent epiglottic tubercle. The aryepiglottic folds are seen on either side running postero - medially from the lateral aspects of the epiglottis; they are thin in front but become thicker as they pass backwards where they contain the cuneiform and corniculate cartilages. The vocal cords appear as pale, glistening ribbons that extend from the angle of the thyroid cartilage backwards to the vocal processes of the arytenoids. Between the cords is the triangular (apex forward) opening of the rima glottidis, through which can be seen the upper two or three rings of the trachea.

TRACHEA:

Trachea is a wide tube with 13-15 mm diameter and 11- 14 cm in length. It begins at the larynx and terminates at the level of the fourth thoracic vertebra, where it bifurcates into the two main bronchi. The tracheal architecture consists of C shaped cartilages which are joined posteriorly by the trachealis muscle. Vertically these cartilages are joined to each other by fibroelastic tissue.

NERVE SUPPLY:

Glossopharyngeal nerve:

            This cranial nerve is a mixed type of nerve. Motor fibers of this nerve supply   the stylopharyngeus muscle. Parasympathetic fibers supplies  the parotid gland.

The pharyngeal branch consists of:

 

1.                                                          One or two branches which supply the mucous membrane of the pharynx, posterior one third of the tongue, anterior surface of the epiglottis, glosso-epiglottic folds, valleculae and pyriform fossa are also supplied by this nerve.

 

Figure 3. Nerve Supply of the Airway

                            


 

2.                                                          The larger branch accompanies the pharyngeal branches of the vagus to the pharyngeal plexus. One of its branches joins a branch of superior laryngeal nerve to form the carotid sinus nerve which supplies the carotid sinus and the carotid body.

Vagus nerve:

Vagus is a mixed type of cranial nerve. In the neck it is found with  the internal jugular vein and the internal carotid artery above and the common carotid artery below. All three structures are enclosed in the carotid sheath. It gives off multiple branches, among all three of which supply those areas of the pharynx and larynx stimulated by the endotracheal intubation.

1.      Pharyngeal branch

2.      Superior laryngeal nerve: This branch divides into external and internal laryngeal nerves. The external branch descends on the anterior aspect of the thyroid cartilage to the cricothyroid muscle to which it supplies. The internal branch, Supplies sensory branches to the larynx above the level of the glottis.

3.      Laryngeal nerve: The recurrent laryngeal nerves provide the motor supply to the intrinsic muscles of the larynx apart from cricothyroid, as well as the sensory supply to the laryngeal mucosa inferior to the vocal cords.

 


PHYSIOLOGY OF PRESSOR RESPONSES[21,22]

Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation following induction of anaesthesia is almost always associated with hemodynamic changes due to reflex sympathetic discharge caused by epipharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal stimulation. Here in with have explained briefly the physiology and effects of laryngoscopy and intubation to understand the haemodynamic changes.

 

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM.

The sympathetic efferent nerve fibres originate from nerve cells in the lateral grey column of the spinal cord between the first thoracic and second lumbar segments (the thoracic outflow). Preganglionic fibres are myelinated. Ganglia are located either in the paravertebral sympathetic trunk or in prevertebral ganglia, such as the celiac ganglion. The sympathetic part of postganglionic fibres are long, non-myelinated sympathetic part of the system has a wide spread action on the body as the resulting preganglionic fibres synapsing on many postganglionic neurons and the suprarenal medulla releasing the sympathetic transmitters epinephrine and nor epinephrine. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for emergencies and severe muscular activity. There is no sympathetic out flow from cervical part of the cord nor from the lower lumbar and sacral parts. Those preganglionic fibres which are destined to synapse with cell bodies whose fibres are going to run with cervical nerves must ascend in the sympathetic trunk and those of lower lumbar and sacral nerves must descend in the trunk to lumbar and sacral ganglia.


 

 

Figure 4.   Sympathetic supply to heart

 

Afferent sympathetic fibres

All the afferent fibres have their cell bodies in the posterior root ganglia of spinal nerves. The afferent fibres reach the spinal nerve in the white ramus communicants. Central processes enter the spinal cord by posterior nerve root. From there they ascend through the cord to brain stem.

 

 

 

 

THE CARDIOVASCULAR REFLEXES

The cardiovascular responses to noxious airway manipulation are initiated by proprioceptors responding to tissue irritation in the supraglottic region and trachea. It is located in close proximity to the airway mucosa. The superficial location of the proprioceptors and their nerves is the reason that topical local anaesthesia of the airway is such an effective means of blunting cardiovascular responses to airway interventions. The glossopharyngeal and vagal afferent nerves transmit these impulses to the brain stem, which, in turn, causes autonomic activation through both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.


In adults and adolescents, the more common response to airway manipulation is hypertension and tachycardia, mediated by the cardio accelerator nerves and sympathetic chain ganglia. This response includes widespread release of norepinephrine from adrenergic nerve terminals and secretion of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla.

In addition to activation of the autonomic nervous system, laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation result in stimulation of the central nervous system (CNS), as evidenced by increases in electroencephalographic activity, cerebral metabolic rate, and cerebral blood flow (CBF).

 

PHARMACOLOGY OF LIGNOCAINE23,24,25

Lignocaine was synthesised in 1943 in Sweden by Lofgren, it was introduced into clinical practice by Gordh in the year 1948. It is most commonly used local anesthetic agent.

PHARMACOLOGY

 

Clinically lignocaine is an amino-amide of xylidine-de-ethyl amino 2:6 dimethyl acetanilidine.

STRUCTURAL FORMULA:


 

 

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES:

It consists of lipophilic aromatic group, hydrophilic tertiary amine and intermediate amide bond. It is a stable, colorless crystalline solid whose hydrochloride salt is readily soluble in water, not decomposed by boiling, acids or alkalies and withstands repeated autoclaving. It should be stored at room temperature.

The pKa of lignocaine is 7.72. At the normal tissue pH of 7.4 approximately 65% of lignocaine exists in the charged cationic form, whereas 35% exists in the uncharged base form.

Lipid solubility: Determination of partition co-efficient by means of n-heptane/pH 7.4 buffer system has given a value of 2.9.

Plasma protein binding: At a concentration of 2mcg/ml approximately 65% is bound to plasma proteins. Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic of moderate potency and duration, with good penetrative powers and  has rapid onset of action. It is effective by all routes of administration. Lignocaine sometimes causes vasodilation, Adrenaline may be used as adjuvant.


prolongs the duration of lignocaine as it reduces the rate of systemic absorption. With repeated injections, tachyphylaxis often occurs. The hydrochloride salt in water has a pH of 6.5. Hepatic extraction ratio 65-70%. Plasma half life of 1.6 hrs. Volume of distribution – 1.3 L/hr.

PHARMACODYNAMICS

Local effects:

Lignocaine blocks the conduction of impulses in the nerve fibres at the site of injection by closing sodium channels.

Sensory and motor fibres are inherently equally sensitive to lignocaine.

Smaller fibres and nonmyelinated nerve fibres are blocked more easily than longer and myelinated fibres.

Autonomic fibres are more susceptible than somatic fibres. Among somatic fibres order of blockade are pain-temperature-touch-deep pressure sense.

Addition of vasoconstrictor like Adrenaline (1:50,000 to 1:2 lakh) cap


Prolong the duration of action of lignocaine by decreasing the rate of removal from the local site of injection in to the circulation

Reduces the systemic toxicity; of lignocaine by decreasing the rate of absorption and keeping the plasma concentration lower.

It is very effective surface analgesic causing rapid absorption from mucosal surface. The peak blood concentration is achieved within 4 to 15 minutes after  instillation. Given intravenously, peak blood levels are achieved immediately.

Systemic effects:

Cardiovascular system

Heart: Lignocaine is placed under classification of class 1- B anti-arrhythmic drugs classification.

It suppresses the automaticity in ectopic foci by antagonizing phase IV depolarization in Purkinje fibres and ventricular muscles by blocking sodium channels.

It does not depress SA node automaticity.

The rate of phase-0 depolarization is not decreased except in presence of hyperkalaemia.

Lignocaine markedly decreases the action potential duration and effective refractory period in Purkinje fibres and ventricular muscles.

Conduction velocity is not decreased.

It has practically no effect on action potential duration and effective refractory period of atrial fibres. Atrial re-entry is not affected.

It can suppress the re-entrant ventricular arrhythmias either by abolishing one way block or by producing two way blocks. At therapeutic plasma concentration of 3- 5mcg/ml, it causes little depression of cardiac contractility. There are no significant autonomic actions. All cardiac effects are direct actions.


Lignocaine is widely used in the management of ventricular dysrhythmias in a dose of 1 to 2 mg/kg bolus intravenously and 2.4 mg/min as infusion. It acts by its membrane stabilizing effect and depression of automaticity at atrio-ventricular node. It has been used effectively in the management of ventricular arrhythmias following myocardial infarction and cardiac surgery.

Vascular smooth muscle.

Lignocaine exists in two isomers, and the ability to produce vasoconstriction appears vested in one of the isomers. Hence lignocaine produces vasoconstriction with low doses and vasodilation at higher doses, very large doses cause circulatory collapse as a result of medullary depression and direct vasodilation.

At doses > 75mcg/kg/min with plasma concentration of > 10-20mcg/ml lignocaine causes asystole and cardiovascular collapse.

Central nervous system

It readily crosses blood brain barrier causing central nervous system stimulation followed by depression with higher doses. The severity of the central nervous system effect correlates with plasma concentration. Central nervous system is more susceptible to toxic effects than the cardiovascular system. Mild toxic effects may cause drowsiness and sedation. Objective signs of central nervous system toxicity are usually excitatory in nature and may cause shivering, muscular tithing and convulsions. It has been shown to possess analgesic properties when given intravenously. Reduction of MAC of inhalational anaesthetic agents is used as an index of its central analgesic property. Higher serum levels produce a central stimulant effect, and this is due to initial blockade of inhibitory pathway at limbic or higher centres in the cerebral cortex.

Neuromuscular junction:

It can affect transmission at the neuromuscular junction and hence potentiate the effect of the depolarizing and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants.

Metabolism:

Lignocaine gets metabolized by the liver microsomal enzymes, oxidases and amidases. The main pathway in man appears to be due to oxidative de-ethylation of lignocaine to monoethyl glycinexuylidide followed by subsequent hydrolysis of monoethyl glycinexylidide to xylidine. Lignocaine is excreted by kidneys.

Dosage:

The factors on which the dosage of lignocaine depends are the weight of the patients and the different absorption rates from various sites and injections. The maximum safe dose of lignocaine is 4.5 mg/kg without epinephrine and 7 mg/kg with epinephrine.

A concentration of 0.25-5% of lignocaine hydrochloride is used for infiltration. If extensive block is required, then 0.5% with epinephrine is used. 0.5% lignocaine without adrenaline is used for intravenous regional anaesthesia. 1% lignocaine is usually sufficient for most nerve blocks. In dentistry, 2% lignocaine with adrenaline 12.5 mcg/ml (1:80,000) is useful. A concentration of 1.5-2% solution of lignocaine is used for epidural analgesia and sometimes with the addition of adrenaline 5 mcg/ml 1:200,000). For surface application, lignocaine solution in a concentration of (4%) for spraying or for application using wool pledgets.

It is used in a concentration of 2% as a lubricating gel in urethral surgery and for lubricating endotracheal tubes. In the management of cardiac dysrhythmias, it is used in the dose of 1-2 mg/kg iv as a bolus dose followed by 2-4 mg/min (20-60 mcg/kg/min) as infusion and then the dose is reduced. Caution must be exercised in the presence of low cardiac output and after cardiac surgery and a slow infusion rate must be maintained.

Toxicity:

The appearance of toxic symptoms is due to two factors. The toxicity of the drug and its serum levels.

Toxic symptoms may occur at plasma levels of 5mcg/ml in an awake patient, while levels of 10mcg/ml are toxic in the anaesthetised patient. Plasma levels depend on the speed with which lignocaine enters the circulation, which in turn depends on the dosage and rate of absorption of the drug from various sites. Peak blood levels are attained in 1 minute after intravenous administration and start decreasing by 3-4 minutes. Following laryngotracheal administration, peak blood levels are attained in 9-15 minutes. Alveolar absorption occurs at a faster rate than absorption from bronchial and bronchiolar mucosa. It is thought that, mucosal absorption simulate intravenous administration. However, systemic absorption of lignocaine may be slowed through larynx and tracheal mucosa as it is diluted with secretions lining the upper airway, impeding systemic absorption. Hence laryngotracheal administration is associated with delayed peak levels that are lower but more sustained. The peak blood levels after epidural injection follow a similar pattern to those seen after intra-muscular injection (average 18 minutes for plain lignocaine and after 23 minutes for lignocaine with adrenaline)

Side effects

Commonest side effects are nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness. At a higher level shivering, muscular twitching, tremors and convulsions, bradycardia, decreased respiration with hypoxia can occur. Circulatory collapse may occur with very high dosage.


Hypersensitivity

This is due to an antigen-antibody reaction. Hypersensitivity to local anaesthetics is more common with ester-linked drugs than with amide group of drugs. This is more commonly seen in atopic individuals and can manifest as local oedema, urticaria, or angioneurotic oedema. Dermatitis may be encountered as a result of skin application. Anaphylaxis occurs less commonly. Although amide agents appear to be relatsively free from allergic type reactions, solution may contain preservatives like paraben and methylparaben whose chemical structure is similar to that of para-aminobenzoic acid.

J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad. 2014 Jul-Sep;26(3):275-8[26].

In 2014, there was randomized control trial conducted with 60 patients who were schedules for elective CABG. There were two groups i.e group A (IV morphine 0.1mg/kg & IV lignocaine 1.5mg/kg) and group B (IV morphine 0.1mg/kg & lignocaine spray 1.5mg/kg). Demographic data was comparable in both groups.

With this study they concluded that lignocaine spray in addition to IV morphine had no better effect on attenuation of hemodynamic changes to laryngoscopy and intubation compared to intravenous lignocaine and morphine in CABG surgery patients.

In 1977, Abou-Mandi MN et al, studied hemodynamics changes to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation after giving small and large intravenous doses of lignocaine (0.75mg/kg & 1.5mg/kg).

With this study they came to a conclusion that 1.5mg/kg dose of lignocaine had complete protection against cardiac arrythmias of all types. Small dose of lignocaine (0.75mg/kg) was ineffective in this respect. While the larger dose also had borderline protection against hypertention and tachycardia, the small dose prevented only the rise in systolic blood pressure. Possible mechanisms for theses observations are direct myocardial depressant effect, a central stimulant effect, a peripheral vasodilation effect and finally an effect on synaptic transmission.

 This study was carried out at the tertiary level hospital in India.  After Approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee, written informed  consent  was  obtained from close  relatives  of  the  patients. A total f 60 patients  with LVEF>  35%,  between30  and  75  years  of  age,  undergoing elective    cardiac    surgery requiring    laryngoscopy    and intubation were  enrolled  for  this prospective    randomized double  blind  study.  There were two groups;

 Group  A  received Lignocaine  1.5mg/kg  i.v  and  group  B  received  an  additional  dose  of  injection  Fentanyl  3  mcg/kg  i.v.  3  min  prior  to laryngoscopy. During induction various hemodynamic parameters was recorded during induction and 10 min intervals after tracheal intubation.

In conclusion, given 3 minutes prior to intubation, lignocaine   (1.5   mg/kg)   and   fentanyl   (3μg/kg)   both attenuated  the  rise  in  HR, .

We conclude  that  both  lignocaine  and  fentanyl  can  be  safely used for attenuation of stress response during laryngoscopy and  TI  in  patients  with  cardiac  disease  undergoing  elective cardiac surgery.

Group-III Received normal saline.

After intubation, incidence of tachycardia (HR>100/min) was significantly greater in placebo and lignocaine group than in fentanyl group (p<0.05). Rise in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were also statistically significant in placebo and lignocaine group than in fentanyl group (p<0.05) as compared with baseline value.

In the present study, Attenuation of pressor response was seen both with lignocaine and fentanyl. Of the 2 drugs fentanyl 4µg/kg bolus provides a consistent, reliable and effective attenuation of haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation as compared to lignocaine 1.5mg/kg iv. bolus.

Efficacy Of Topical Lignocaine Spray (10%) Applied Before The Induction Of Anaesthesia In Attenuating The Pressor Response To Direct Laryngoscopy And Endotracheal Intubation In Controlled Hypertensive Patients. The Internet Journal of Anesthesiology. 2008 Volume 20 Number 2[30].

 

Fifty controlled hypertensive ASA grade II patients of either sex aged between 35 and 65 years undergoing routine elective surgical procedures under general anaesthesia participated in this prospective randomized study. Ethical committee approval was received and informed consent was obtained from all patients.

Patients were randomly assigned one of 2 groups each comprising 25 patients. Group I received lignocaine 10% (LOX Topical spray, Neon Labs) spray 2 minutes before induction of anaesthesia. Group II received normal saline spray prior to induction of anaesthesia and served as control.

There was a statistically significant (p< 0.05) increase in heart rate, systolic ,diastolic and mean arterial pressure in group II when compared to group I and also when compared to baseline values. It was concluded that topical lignocaine 10% when sprayed prior to induction of anaesthesia attenuated the pressor response to laryngoscopy and intubation, but did not abolish it completely.

In an attempt to attenuate the cardiovascular pressor response to laryngoscopy and intubation, 30 patients presenting for routine ophthalmic surgery were studied and were randomly allocated into two groups: group A (n = 15) received direct laryngeal/tracheal lignocaine spray immediately before intubation; and group B (n = 15) received orolaryngeal lignocaine spray before the induction of anaesthesia.

 

Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation caused a significant increase in heart rate, by 28% in group A and 23% in group B (P < 0.05 in both), and in diastolic blood pressure, by 28% in group A and 24% in group B (P < 0.05 in both). In group A, the systolic blood pressure also increased significantly (by 18%) after intubation, but there was no significant change in group B.

It was concluded that topical lignocaine administration as an orolaryngeal spray before the induction of anaesthesia is effective in reducing but not abolishing the pressor response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

 

Rajbhandari PK1;Lignocaine and Esmolol on Stress Response to Laryngoscopy and Intubation;JNMA J Nepal Med Assoc. 2014 Apr-Jun;52(194):775-9[31].

 

 

Patients were randomly divided into two groups, 30 in each group.

 Group I received 50 mg of esmolol

 group II received lignocaine 2 mg/kg.

 

Haemodynamic parameters like pulse, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were measured before induction of anaesthesia, immediately after intubation then at intervals of one minute, three minutes, five minutes, seven minutes and 10 1minutes.

There was no significant difference in demographic or base line vital signs between two groups (Table 1). The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased on laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation by 15 mmHg in the group I whereas in group II it was 17.4 mmHg.

There was a significant rise in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in both the groups, but the rise was lesser in group II than in group I.

 

Both esmolol and lignocaine were not effective in attenuating hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation; however esmolol was superior to lignocaine in blunting the stress response.

A clinical prospective comparative randomized study of attenuation of sympathetic response to laryngoscopy and intubation was done in 60 patients posted for elective surgeries. The study was conducted after an approval from the hospital ethics committee.

Group L - Lignocaine group (n=30) - received oropharyngeal Lignocaine 10% spray 100 mg 3 minutes before induction.

Group N - Nitroglycerin group (n=30) - received oral nitroglycerin spray 0.8mg 30 seconds before induction.

Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were recorded at baseline, at induction, 1, 3, 5 and 10 minute intervals after laryngoscopy

From the present study it can be concluded that

 · In Lignocaine spray group patients who received 10 puffs ( 100 mg) oropharyngeally , 3 minutes before induction , there was a significant rise in the mean heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) , mean arterial pressure (MAP) occurred one minute following laryngoscopy and intubation .

· In Nitroglycerine spray group, who received 2 puffs (0.8 mg) orally 30 seconds before induction, effectively attenuated arterial pressure response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Hence, it is concluded that Nitroglycerine oral spray in the dose of 0.8 mg, given 30 seconds before induction can be a better alternative in attenuating the haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation without adverse side effects.

 

Stoelting, Robert K; Blood pressure and heart rate changes during short-duration laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation: influence of viscous or intravenous lidocaine. Anesth Analg 1978; 7:19734[33].

 

In 1978, Stoelting, Robert K studied blood pressure and heart rate changes during short-duration laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation. Influence of viscous or intravenous lignocaine and concluded that the best way to prevent laryngoscopic response was to minimize the duration of laryngoscopy and intubation to 15 seconds.

He also suggested that, intravenous lignocaine given in the doses of 1.5 mg/kg 3 mins before laryngoscopy and intubation, sufficiently attenuates the laryngoscopic reactions. The advantage of intravenous lignocaine claimed by this author was, it depresses the autonomic nervous system and in addition has anti arrhythmic properties.

Hamill, bedfore,  Weva and Colohan (1981) compared the effects of intravenous lignocaine verses laryngotracheal topical lignocaine in attenuation of intubation response. They were interested in identifying preferred route for the administration of lignocaine prior to endotracheal intubation. In addition to measuring heart rate and blood pressure, these authors measured intracranial pressure (ICP) to see if either route was preferable in preventing a rise in ICP. The patients were randomly assigned to each group. Each subject received the same induction protocols, thiopentone 3 mg/kg and succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg. 1 min after laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen was administered. Using a Mackintosh laryngoscope blade 3, 11 patient received laryngotracheal 4% lignocaine, via “laryngotracheal anaesthesia” (LTA) set. The other eleven patients received lignocaine 1.5 mg/kg IV. 2 mins after induction, laryngoscopy was performed with a Mackintosh blade. Endotracheal intubation was accomplished in 20 sacs. There was no difference between groups with regards to age, heart rate, base line blood pressure prior intubation. The group which received laryngotracheal lignocaine showed significant rise in heart rate, blood pressure and ICP which remained elevated for 2 mins. The group which received IV lignocaine showed significant rise in heart rate and blood pressure. However this rise was limited to 1 min, after which cardiovascular values returned to base line. ICP in the group which received IV lignocaine did not significantly increase after endotracheal intubation.

This data suggested that IV administration of lignocaine is the preferred technique for administering lignocaine prior to endotracheal intubation.

 

BENJAMIN DRENGER AND JACOB Peter; Attenuation of ocular and systemic responses to tracheal intubation by intravenous lignocaine; British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987, 71, 546-54838[35].

This study was undertaken to determine whether intravenous lignocaine could mitigate or prevent the ocular reactions and especially the acute increase in intraocular pressure associated with laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Two groups of children undergoing minor eye surgery under nitrous oxide-oxygen-halothane anaesthesia were examined. The experimental group (n= 17) received 2 mg/kg lignocaine and the controls (n=18) an equivalent volume of saline. The incidence of local laryngeal and ocular reflexes was much lower in the lignocaine group. Pulse acceleration was significantly lower in the lignocaine group (p<0.025), and the maximal mean intraocular pressure was significantly less than in the control group (p<0.025). Other ocular reactions were recorded, and all were attenuated after lignocaine administration. The beneficial effects of lignocaine, a suppressant of autonomic reflexes, suggest that intraocular pressure, like the heart rate, rises after intubation as a result of autonomic stimulation. The use of intravenous lignocaine is thus recommended for children at risk, such as those needing an urgent operation because of lacerated eye injury under rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia.

 

Laurito CE1, Baughman VLBecker GLPolek WVRiegler FXVadeBoncouer TR; Effects of aerosolized and/or intravenous lidocaine on hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation in outpatients; Anesth Analg. 1988 Apr;67(4):389-92[36].

A randomized, double-blind study was carried out on 40 unpremedicated, ASA I-II adult surgical outpatients to assess the effects of aerosolized lidocaine, intravenous lidocaine, both, or neither, on circulatory responses to laryngoscopy and intubation. Lidocaine (4 mg/kg) or saline was given by nebulizer in the holding area beginning at −15 minutes. The patient underwent a standarized induction of anesthesia that included IV curare (3 mg) and O2 by facemask at minute 2, followed by IV thiopental (5 mg/kg) and succinylcholine (1.5 mg/kg) at minute 5. Lidocaine (2 mg/kg) or saline was given by IV push at minute 4. Laryngoscopy was begun at 5 minutes and continued for 45 seconds before intubation. Heart rate and systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures were automatically recorded at 1-minute intervals from 0 to 11 minutes. The four treatment groups included: group 1, aerosolized and IV saline; group 2, aerosolized saline, IV lidocaine; group 3, aerosolized lidocaine, IV saline; and group 4, aerosolized and IV lidocaine. There were no differences among the four treatment groups (n = ten per group) in any of the four hemodynamic variables before laryngoscopy and intubation. Within each group, after intubation all four hemodynamic variables increased significantly over the corresponding baseline values for that group. However, the maximum values attained after intubation did not differ significantly among the four treatment groups for any of the four hemodynamic variables, whether those maxima were expressed as absolute values or as a percentage of baseline. Having found no difference in the effects of aerosolized and/or intravenous lidocaine and saline placebo on hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in adult surgical outpatients using a rigidly standardized protocol, it is recommended that such usage of lidocaine be abandoned.

The results obtained was that, there was significant rise in all four parameters in all 4 groups. But the absolute values from each group after laryngoscopy and intubation had no significant difference with use of aerosolized and intravenous lignocaine and both or none.

The pressor response is known to be exaggerated in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension, which can result in increased morbidity and mortality in both mother and newborn. Various pharmacological agents have been used before induction in an attempt to attenuate the adrenergic response but with varying degree of success. Esmolol, an ultra short-acting cardioselective β-blocker with rapid onset and short elimination half-life, is an attractive choice for attenuating the adrenergic response in pregnant patients. In a prospective, randomised double blind study we evaluated the efficacy of two bolus doses of esmolol with or without lidocaine, in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension. Eighty such patients undergoing lower segmental caesarean section were randomly divided into four groups and received the following study drugs before intubation: group I, esmolol 1 mg·kg−1; group II, esmolol 2 mg·kg−1; group III, esmolol 1 mg·kg−1 and lidocaine 1.5 mg·kg−1; and group IV, esmolol 2 mg·kg−1 and lidocaine 1.5 mg·kg−1. In groups II, III and IV, the changes in maternal heart rate, systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in response to laryngoscopy and intubation were attenuated to a comparable degree (P>0.05). No adverse effects were noticed in mother or baby. We conclude that esmolol 1 mg·kg−1 with lidocaine 1.5 mg·kg−1 is effective in attenuating the adrenergic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation in patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension.

The conclude that Esmolol 1 mg/kg with lignocaine 1.5 mg/kg was effective in attenuating the adrenergic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation in cases of PIH for LSCS.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of lidocaine solution in the cuff of the endotracheal tube in reducing mucosal damage following tracheal intubation.

This was a randomized controlled trial study undertaken in the intensive care unit patients. Participants, who met all eligibility criteria, were randomly assigned to one of two groups of patients, according to whether lidocaine or air was used to fill the tracheal tube cuff. The tracheal mucosa at the site of cuff inflation was inspected by fiberoptic bronchoscopy and scored at the 24 h and 48 h after intubation.

 

In all, 51 patients (26 patients in the lidocaine group and 25 patients in the control group) completed the study. After 24 h, erythema and/or edema of tracheal mucosa were seen in 2 patients (7.7%) of lidocaine group and 6 patients (24%) of air group (P = 0.109). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that lidocaine has a significant protective effect against mucosal damage (odds ratio = 0.72, confidence interval = 0.60-0.87).

The inflation of the tracheal tube cuff with lidocaine was superior to air in decreasing the incidence of mucosal damage in the 24 h and 48 h post intubation.

Prajapati; Comparison of Fentanyl and Lignocaine for Attenuation of Cardiovascular Stress Response to Laryngoscopy and Endotracheal Intubation; Internal journal of scientific research (IJSR) Volume: 3| Issue: 1| January 2014[39].

40 patients of ASA grade I and II aged 20-50 years were selected for elective surgery requiring general anaesthesia for endotracheal intubation.

They were divided into 2 groups

Group-1: Lignocaine hydrochloride group. Here patients received inj. Lignocaine hydrochloride 1.5 mg/ kg i.v. bolus 3 min prior to induction.

Group-2: Fentanyl citrate group. Here patients received injection Fentanyl citrate 2 mcg/kg i.v. bolus 3 min prior to induction.

All patients were pre-oxygenated with 100% O2 for 3 min before induction. Induction was achieved with injection Thiopentone sodium 5 mg/kg i.v. and injection succinylcholine 2 mg/kg was given i.v. IPPV given with 100% O2 and after adequate relaxation laryngoscopy and intubation was done. Anaesthesia was maintained with O2(33%), N2O(67%), Isoflurane(0.5-1.0%) and injection Vecuronium omide. Peri-operative vitals and complications were recorded. Reversal was achieved with injection Neostigmine 0.05 mg/kg i.v. and injection glycopyrollate 0.004 mg/kg i.v.

This study concluded that Changes in mean pulse rate and MAP was significant after intubation and intraoperatively with mean pulse rate, MAP being higher in group-1 than group-2. Thus Fentanyl citrate provides better haemodynamic stability by increasing sedation, analgesia and depth of anaesthesia. Fentanyl citrate is safer and more effective in attenuation of haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.

 

M A Kaleem Siddiqui and Kiran N; Analytical study of effects of intravenous lignocaine on pressor response during laryngoscopy and intubation; International Journal of Biomedical Research 2015; 6(02): 104-10747[40].

In Kidwai Memorial Institute Oncology, Banglore, they studied effects of lignocaine (15 mg/kg) on pressor response during laryngoscopy and intubation in 50 patient of age 20-60 years. They monitored heart rate systolic blood pressure and rate pressure product  immediately after intubation followed by 2 minutes and 5 minutes.

The result shows that heart changed from pre induction 81.80 ± 6.74 bpm to 102.20 ± 7.11 bpm immediately after intubation i.e 25% rise. While SBP and MAP changed from 121.20 ± 8.72 to 153.92 ± 10.25 and 90.59 ± 5.74 to 107.47 ±6.36 immediately after intubation respectively. RPP changed from 9921.60 ± 1148.51 to 9921.60 ± 1148.51 after intubation.

Thus concluded that intravenous lignocaine is less effective to attenuate the pressor response and a better alternative should be used after further comparative studies.

A prospective randomized cross over study was conducted in Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and Government Hospital, Sion, Mumbai, India during the period of January 2012 to September 2013. Sixty patients requiring tracheal suction through an endotracheal tube received 1.5 mg/kg of lignocaine in the nebulized form or as an intravenous injection on two different occasions. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2) were recorded at baseline, after the administration of lignocaine, after two successive suctions and once in two minutes for the next 16 minutes

In the present study, SPO2 decreased in response to ETT suctioning in both the study groups as compared to the pre-suctioning value. However the changes in the SPO2 were not significant when compared between the groups. Changes in HR, SBP, DBP and MAP were not significantly different between the two routes of lignocaine administration.

From the present study, we can conclude that the abolition of haemodynamic response to tracheal suction is similar with both intravenous and nebulized lignocaine. But the return of MAP towards baseline value was observed to be earlier with nebulized lignocaine than with intravenous lignocaine which favours use of nebulized lignocaine over intravenous lignocaine.

Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation causes sympathoadrenal stimulation and cause transient rise in pulse rate and blood pressure. We evaluated the efficacy of Esmolol and Lignocaine in attenuating the pressor response during laryngoscopy and inutbation as compared to placebo.

 

60 patients of ASA I & II  between the age group of 20-60 were randomized to receive either Esmolol 1.5 mg/Kg, Lignocaine 1.5mg/Kg or 5ml normal saline just prior to induction of anaesthesia. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded before induction (baseline) and at regular intervals of 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes after induction. Statistical analysis was done using Student’s t test and chi-square test and p values obtained.      

 

There is an increase in HR, SBP and DBP in the control group which is maximum at 3 mins after induction (i.e. during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation). Whereas in the study groups there was no significant variation in these parameters from baseline which is found to be more effective with Esmolol (p-value < 0.001) than Lignocaine. 

 

Esmolol 1.5mg/Kg was found to be more effective in attenuating pressor response to laryngoscopy and intubation when compared to Lignocaine.

The study aimed to evaluate the effects of lignocaine spray on hemodynamic response of endotracheal intubation patients.

This study is a randomized clinical trial on a study population comprising patients admitted to the ICU.

The patients were divided into three groups using a permuted block randomization.

Group 1, inhaled nebulized lignocaine 4% (75.0 mg/kg). In

Group 2, intravenous (IV) lignocaine 2% (75.0/mg/kg) was injected.

 No lignocaine was prescribed for or administered to the control group. One and four minutes after intubation, the patients' hemodynamic and vital signs were measured.

Although the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of Group 1 (inhaled nebulized lignocaine) was smaller than that of Group 2 (IV lignocaine), there was no significant difference between the two groups. Both groups' MAPs were significantly different from that of the control group. As for the average number of pulses, a significant difference was observed between the inhaled and IV lignocaine groups; hence, the average number of pulses in Group 1 (inhalation) was lower than that of Group 2 (IV injection). This concluded that:

As blood pressure is considered to be normal under 140/90 and may not entail any hemodynamic complications, it can be concluded that inhaled nebulized lignocaine can control the hemodynamic changes of intubation more effectively than IV lignocaine.

 The aim of this study was to compare of intravenous and oropharyngeal spray of lidocaine and high dose of fentanyl on systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate of patients over 65 years during tracheal intubation.

In this clinical trial, 160 patients over 65 yrs who were randomly divided into five groups of 32 patients. For group one lidocaine spray 10%, group two intravenous lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, group three lidocaine spray along with intravenous lidocaine 0.75 mg/kg, and for group four fentanyl 5μg/kg were administered and group five patients were controls which were given 1 mg of midazolam along with 2 μg/kg fentanyl. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate were measured before and after anesthesia and intubation. ANOVA, Scheffe's and Repeated measure tests were used for data comparison and P<0.05 was considered significant.

This study concluded that all methods were effective for efficient blood pressor control during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.

Sixty patients with a cerebral aneurysm were randomly divided into three groups by lidocaine administration methods before endotracheal intubation: Group 1 (Control, 2% lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, intravenous injection); Group 2 (10% lidocaine 1 mg/kg, intralaryngotracheal spray); Group 3 (10% lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, intralaryngotracheal spray). Anesthesia was induced intravenously with midazolam (0.02 mg/kg) and thiopental sodium (2 - 3 mg/kg), and then maintained with 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen and 1.0 vol% isoflurane. Blood pressure and heart rate were measured preinduction, before laryngoscopy, immediately after epiglottis elevation, immediately after intubation and 3 minutes after intubation. Data were compared and analyzed within and between groups.

Immediately after intubation, the increase in blood pressure and heart rate were blunted significantly in the groups 2 and 3 compared to the intravenous lidocaine injection group (P < 0.01). However, there were no significant hemodynamic changes between groups 2 and 3.this study concluded that;

The elevation of blood pressure and heart rate after endotracheal intubation can be prevented by intralaryngotracheal spray of 1 mg/kg of 10% lidocaine 3 minutes before endotracheal intubation.

DISCUSSION

 

Rationale for conducting the study

Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are one of the commonest procedures done by anaesthesiologists. Tracheal intubation following laryngoscopy is a potent stimulus that increases heart rate and blood pressure. Various measures like heavy premedication, high-dose narcotics, deep inhalational anesthesia and potent vasoactive drugs have been used so as to mask these hemodynamic responses of laryngoscopy and intubation. These measures have potential cardiovascular side-effects and may also prolong recovery, hence are not suitable for short procedures. Lignocaine is the most frequently used local anesthetic. It is also routinely used for local, peripheral and epidural anesthesia. Lignocaine has been evaluated in numerous trials as a spray or gel to suppress response associated with laryngoscopy. It has also been used to reduce the incidence of postoperative sore throat, cough, and hoarseness of voice. More commonly, lignocaine inhalation has been utilized to reduce the frequency of chronic cough in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD). Similarly, lignocaine has been used intravenously to modulate the physiological response following laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Currently, there is limited literature on comparison between lignocaine spray and intravenous lignocaine in alleviation of cardiovascular response following tracheal intubation. Therefore, this study was conducted among patients with ejection fraction <50% and undergoing CABG, to compare the efficacy of lignocaine spray (10%) and intravenous (2%, 1.5mg/kg) route in attenuating the sympathoadrenal response on hemodynamic parameters due to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. The study looked at hemodynamic response such as heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure. Additionally, data on arrhythmias and post-operative sore throat was also collected.

         The administration of anesthesia in patients with cardiac disease, especially those undergoing CABG, demands an absolutely steady haemodynamics during induction of general endotracheal anesthesia [46]. Any hemodynamic perturbation during this phase of presurgery medical management by the anesthesiologist is very poorly tolerated. This requires a great deal of experience, training, and understanding of individual cardiac lesions and their response to various anesthetic drug regime and interventions [46]. Many of these patients also have fixed cardiac output (CO) and their compensatory mechanisms are not fully functional [46,47]. Therefore, any increase or decrease in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) and heart rate, which occurs during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation due to sympathetic activation, can adversely affect the hemodynamics [47]. The cardiopulmonary interactions resulting from the underlying pathophysiology pose additional challenges for safe airway management. Patients with poor cardiopulmonary reserve have the potential to desaturate during induction [47]. This can be attributed to insufficient apnea time in this subset of patients as opposed to normal healthy individuals. Thus, it is important to ensure an adequate preoxygenation in these patients before obtunding their respiratory efforts [47,48]. The current guidelines for difficult airway (DA) management recognize this problem and recommends the use of supplemental oxygenation (para-oxygenation) during airway procedures [48].  While the anatomic DA is one in which obtaining a good glottic view or passing an endotracheal tube (ETT) is challenging, the physiologic DA is one where physiological derangements subject the patient to a higher risk of cardiovascular collapse with intubation and positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) [46-48]. These physiologic abnormalities should be taken into consideration while planning for intubation even if no anatomic airway difficulty is anticipated.

Congenital cardiac and valvular lesions with increased pulmonary blood flow and consequent pulmonary arterial hypertension, right ventricular dysfunction/failure leading to preexisting ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) mismatch present physiologic hindrances to ventilation [49]. It is not rare to encounter a combined anatomical and physiological difficulty, and any mismanagement of the airway is poorly tolerated and can even be fatal. The preexisting risk gets exaggerated when intubation requires multiple attempts with difficult intubation being an independent predictor of death [49,50]. Essentially, there are four physiologic difficulties encountered in cardiac patients while securing airway before mechanical ventilation. These are hypoxemia, severe acidosis, hypotension and right ventricular failure [50].

        Lignocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action [51]. The onset of action is rapid. Lidocaine may be absorbed following topical administration to mucous membranes, its rate and extent of absorption depending upon concentration and total dose administered, the specific site of application, and duration of exposure [51]. In general, the rate of absorption of local anesthetic agents following topical application occurs most rapidly after intratracheal administration [51]. Lidocaine is also well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but little intact drug appears in the circulation because of biotransformation in the liver. Lidocaine is metabolized rapidly by the liver, and metabolites and unchanged drug are excreted by the kidneys [51]. Approximately 90% of lidocaine administered is excreted in the form of various metabolites, and less than 10% is excreted unchanged. Studies have shown that peak blood levels of lidocaine may occur as early as 5 and as late as 30 minutes after endotracheal administration of a 4% lidocaine HCI solution [51]. Studies of lidocaine metabolism following intravenous bolus injections have shown that the elimination half-life of this agent is typically 1.5 to 2 hours [51]. The half-life may be prolonged two-fold or more in patients with liver dysfunction.

         Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of CVD, which is exaggerated with coexistent hypertension [52]. Many of the underlying molecular mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis causing microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes, also cause vascular remodelling and dysfunction in hypertension [52,53].  Moreover, patients with hypertension often exhibit insulin resistance and are at greater risk of diabetes developing than are normotensive individuals [52,53]. Diabetes and hypertension are closely interlinked because of similar risk factors, such as endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, arterial remodelling, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and obesity, thereby, leading to cardiac diseases [54, 55]. Reports from Framingham and from other studies have established diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertensions as a strong risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [52-54]. In addition, several studies suggest that DM and hypertension have direct adverse effects on the heart, independent of obstructive coronary artery disease. Specifically, the Framingham Heart Study identified an association between DM/hypertension and increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness [52-54]. These observations may be important in view of the strong relation between LV hypertrophy and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Key findings of the study

The study did not find any baseline differences between the study groups in terms of age, sex, weight , mean left ventricular ejection fraction and presence or absence of diabetes. In the group receiving 2% intravenous lignocaine, none of the subjects developed arrythmia whereas in the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, 13.3% developed arrythmia and this difference was statistically significant (P=0.04), reason group 1(2% lignocaine) didn’t develop arrythmia because these subjects received anti-arrythmic dose of 2% lignocaine i.e 1.5mg/kg. Subjects who developed arrythmia in group 2, among all 3 subject developed atrial fibrillation and one developed ventricular tahycardia.  Further, in the group receiving 2% intravenous lignocaine, 46.7% of the subjects developed sore throat whereas in the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, a lower proportion i.e. 23.3% developed sore throat (P=0.02), group 2 subjects experienced sore throat lesser than group 1 due to the topical action of 10% lignocaine spray which was given to group 2 subjects .  The pre-intubation hemodynamic parameters were similar across the two groups. However, immediately upon intubation the heart rate (mean 103.7 vs.111.8), systolic blood pressure (mean 140.8 vs.155.4 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (mean 91.9 vs. 103.7 mm Hg) and mean arterial pressure (mean 108.1 vs. 120.9 mm Hg) were higher in  the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, compared to the group that received 2% intravenous lignocaine. Similarly, at 1 minute after intubation,  the heart rate (mean 102.5 vs.109.7), systolic blood pressure (mean 140.1 vs.149.4 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (mean 89.5 vs. 97.3 mm Hg) and mean arterial pressure (mean 106.4 vs. 114.7 mm Hg) were higher in  the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, compared to the group that received 2% intravenous lignocaine. Thereafter, these differences remained non-significant at 3 min, 7 min, 10 min, 15 min and 20 min post-intubation. 10 minutes post-intubation all vital parameters came to base line values in group 1 and 15 minutes post intubation all vital parameters came to its baseline values in group 2.

 These findings indicate that intravenous lignocaine is more efficacious in preventing immediate sympathoadrenal response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation than lignocaine spray and is associated with comparatively lesser incidence of arrythmia but the incidence of post-operative sore throat was lesser with lignocaine spray.

 

Comparison of the findings with previous studies

Jokar A et al (2018) conducted a study aimed to evaluate the effects of lignocaine spray on hemodynamic response of endotracheal intubation patients. This was a randomized clinical trial on a study population comprising patients admitted to the ICU.  The patients were divided into three groups. In Group 1, inhaled nebulized lignocaine 4% (75.0 mg/kg) was sprayed around the patients' epiglottis and larynx. In Group 2, intravenous (IV) lignocaine 2% (75.0/mg/kg) was injected. No lignocaine was prescribed for or administered to the control group. One and four minutes after intubation, the patients' hemodynamic and vital signs were measured. Although the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of Group 1 (inhaled nebulized lignocaine) was smaller than that of Group 2 (IV lignocaine), there was no significant difference between the two groups. In terms of the average number of pulses, a significant difference was observed between the inhaled and IV lignocaine groups. The average number of pulses in Group 1 (inhalation) was lower than that of Group 2 (IV injection). The study investigators concluded that inhaled nebulized lignocaine can control the hemodynamic changes of intubation more effectively than IV lignocaine. This is very much similar to the findings and observations of the current study.

UI Islam M et al (2014) conducted a randomized control trial involving 60 patients scheduled for elective CABG. The study had two groups- group A (IV morphine 0.1mg/kg & IV lignocaine 1.5mg/kg) and group B (IV morphine 0.1mg/kg & lignocaine spray 1.5mg/kg). There were no baseline differences in the study participant characteristics among the two groups. The authors found that lignocaine spray was as efficacious as intravenous lignocaine on attenuation of hemodynamic changes to laryngoscopy and intubation. This is similar to the findings of our study where lignocaine spray had similar efficacy, compared to intravenous lignocaine and moreover, led to reduced incidence of arrythmia and post-operative sore throat.

 

Agrawal A et al (2016) conducted a prospective randomized cross over study. Sixty patients requiring tracheal suction through an endotracheal tube received 1.5 mg/kg of lignocaine in the nebulized form or as an intravenous injection on two different occasions. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2) were recorded at baseline, after the administration of lignocaine, after two successive suctions and once in two minutes for the next 16 minutes. The study found that the changes in the SPO2 were not significant when compared between the groups. Similarly, the changes in HR, SBP, DBP and MAP were not significantly different between the two routes of lignocaine administration. These findings are again similar to the findings of our study where lignocaine spray had similar efficacy, compared to intravenous lignocaine, in providing hemodynamic stability during and post-intubation.

Jalali A et al (2017) performed a study to compare of intravenous and oropharyngeal spray of lidocaine and high dose of fentanyl on systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate of patients over 65 years during tracheal intubation. In this clinical trial, 160 patients were randomly divided into five groups of 32 patients. For group one, lidocaine spray 10%; group two, intravenous lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg; group three, lidocaine spray along with intravenous lidocaine 0.75 mg/kg; and for group four fentanyl 5μg/kg were administered and group five patients were controls which were given 1 mg of midazolam along with 2 μg/kg fentanyl. Study results showed no significant difference between groups in terms of systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate among groups. The authors concluded that all methods were effective for efficient blood pressure control during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.

Kim SY et al (2002) conducted a study to evaluate the effects of intralaryngotracheal 10% lidocaine spray on hemodynamic responses to endotracheal intubation for patients with a cerebral aneurysm. Sixty patients with a cerebral aneurysm were randomly divided into three groups by lidocaine administration methods before endotracheal intubation: Group 1 (Control, 2% lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, intravenous injection); Group 2 (10% lidocaine 1 mg/kg, intralaryngotracheal spray); Group 3 (10% lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, intralaryngotracheal spray). Blood pressure and heart rate were measured preinduction, before laryngoscopy, immediately after epiglottis elevation, immediately after intubation and 3 minutes after intubation. Immediately after intubation, the increase in blood pressure and heart rate were blunted significantly in the groups 2 and 3 compared to the intravenous lidocaine injection group (P < 0.01). The authors concluded that the elevation of blood pressure and heart rate after endotracheal intubation can be prevented by intralaryngotracheal spray of 1 mg/kg of 10% lidocaine 3 minutes before endotracheal intubation. But in my study that suggest intravenous lignocaine to be more efficacious than lignocaine spray in attenuation of immediate sympathoadrenal response of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

 

 

 

Limitations of the study

1.              The sample size was limited to only 60 subjects and therefore, the study was not adequately powered to detect small differences in the hemodynamic variables that might have been present in the two groups

2.              The findings of the study are applicable to patients undergoing CABG. We do not fully understand the expected differences between lignocaine spray and intravenous lignocaine in different sets of patients undergoing surgery for other indications

3.              The study did not test the effects of different doses of lignocaine, both in spray and intravenous forms. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Following ethical committee approval, a prospective, randomized and comparative study was conducted to compare hemodynamic response such as heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation between patients receiving lignocaine spray (10%) and intravenous (2%, 1.5mg/kg) lignocaine. Additional comparisons were done on incidence of arrhythmias and post-operative sore throat. 60 patients of aged between 30-75 years, of either gender, with ejection fraction of <50% and undergoing CABG under general anaesthesia were selected for the study. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups:

 

GROUP 1: After standard induction, this group of patients received intravenous 2% Lignocaine (preservative free) 3 minutes prior to laryngoscopy.

 

GROUP 2: Patients vocal cords were sprayed with 10% lignocaine spray as soon as the vocal cords were visualized by direct laryngoscopy.

 

Automated recordings (Datascope) of heart rate (HR) and systolic (SBP), diastolic (DBP), and mean (MBP) blood pressures were recorded at 0 min, 1 min, 3 min, 7 min, 10 min, 15 min and 20 min from induction. The standard monitors were used to eliminate variability in recording data.

 

The key study findings are as follows:

 

·                The study did not find any baseline differences between the study groups in terms of age (P=0.12), sex (P=0.75), weight (P=0.23) and mean left ventricular ejection fraction (P=0.45).

·                In the group receiving 2% intravenous lignocaine, none of the subjects developed arrythmia whereas in the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, 13.3% developed arrythmia. These differences were statistically significant (P=0.04). 

·                In the group receiving 2% intravenous lignocaine, 23.3% of the subjects developed sore throat whereas in the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, a higher proportion i.e. 46.7% developed sore throat. The proportion of study subjects developing sore throat among the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.02).

·                The pre-intubation hemodynamic parameters were similar across the two groups.

·                However, immediately upon intubation the heart rate (mean 103.7 vs.111.8), systolic blood pressure (mean 140.8 vs.155.4 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (mean 91.9 vs. 103.7 mm Hg) and mean arterial pressure (mean 108.1 vs. 120.9 mm Hg) were higher in  the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, compared to the group that received 2% intravenous lignocaine.

·                Similarly, at 1 minute after intubation,  the heart rate (mean 102.5 vs.109.7), systolic blood pressure (mean 140.1 vs.149.4 mm Hg), diastolic blood pressure (mean 89.5 vs. 97.3 mm Hg) and mean arterial pressure (mean 106.4 vs. 114.7 mm Hg) were higher in  the group receiving 10% lignocaine spray, compared to the group that received 2% intravenous lignocaine.

·                Thereafter, these differences remained non-significant at 3 min, 7 min, 10 min, 15 min and 20 min post-intubation.

These findings indicate that intravenous lignocaine is more efficacious in preventing immediate sympathoadrenal response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation than lignocaine spray and is associated with comparatively lesser incidence of arrythmia and post-operative sore throat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CONCLUSION

 

Considering the increase in Heart rate, SBP, DBP and MAP immediately upon intubation in those receiving lignocaine spray compared to those receiving intravenous lignocaine spray, it seems that intravenous lignocaine is actually more efficient and should be used to prevent sympathoadrenal stimulation and hemodynamic changes caused during intubation.

Intravenous lignocaine seems to be an effective and practical method that can be used for critical elderly patients with reduced ejection fraction who are at a greater risk of hemodynamic perturbations. This method is also efficient in preventing cardiac arrythmia during intubation but shows more incidence of post-intubation sore throat.

You are invited to take part in this research study. The information in this document is meant to help you decide whether or not to take part in this study. Please feel free to ask if you have any queries or concerns.

You are being asked to participate in this study being conducted in D.Y. Patil Hospital because you satisfy the eligibility criteria to participate in this study. You will be one of the subjects we plan to recruit in this study.

What is the purpose of research?

You have been posted for surgery which needs administration of general anaesthesia. General anaesthesia involves laryngoscopy (looking into ones oral cavity and upper respiratory tract using an instrument called laryngoscope) and endotracheal intubation (insertion of a tube into trachea for assisted ventilation during anaesthesia). This procedures at times induces increased heart rate, increase in blood pressure as a reflex reaction. We will be using lignocaine (either spray or intravenous route) to suppress the above side effects of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of lignocaine spray on hemodynamic parameters due to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation and to compare with that of intravenous lignocaine in patients with ejection fraction <50%.


Study Procedures

All the patients with EF <50% posted for elective surgery under general anaesthesia will be given eithe lignocaine spray or intravenous lignocaine before laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. The efficacy of this drug in reducing the vasopressive effects of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is to be evaluated by this study.

Possible risks to you

There is no risk involved in this study.

Possible benefits to you

Clinical trials in healthy adults undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia have  proved that prior use of lignocaine has reduced the vasopressor effects of laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation has improved the safety and overall outcome

Possible benefits to other people
