Aerosolized Endotracheal Lidocaine to Avoid Intracranial Pressure Spikes in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of nebulized lidocaine before Endotracheal suctioning (ETS) compared to instilled lidocaine and the effectiveness of aerosolized lidocaine versus instilled normal saline before ETS in attenuating the increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) in severe head injured children and to evaluate the feasibility of a trial involving instilled lidocaine and aerosolized lidocaine for the management of ETS and to evaluate the safety of nebulized lidocaine in traumatic brain injury (TBI) compared to instilled lidocaine and instilled sodium chloride (NS).
