“…In certain RCTs, the researchers have simultaneously compared the efficacy of intracuff lidocaine with other routes or interventions, such as a direct larynx spray under a laryngoscope [ 24 , 31 , 38 , 40 ], the application of an ETT lubricant [ 10 – 12 , 34 , 36 , 38 ], intravenous injection [ 38 , 40 ], and intracuff lidocaine under different temperatures [ 33 ] and concentrations [ 29 ]. The substantial inconsistencies between the anesthetic techniques employed included the implementation of premedication [ 11 , 12 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 34 – 36 ], N 2 O [ 10 , 11 , 22 , 23 , 29 , 30 , 32 – 39 ], total intravenous anesthetics [ 31 , 37 ], continuous opioid administration [ 12 , 31 , 32 , 35 , 36 , 40 ], and the use of the minimal leakage technique (MLT) for cuff inflation [ 10 – 12 , 22 – 24 , 28 – 30 , 32 , 34 – 38 ]. The samples of the selected trials numbered from 38 to 204 patients.…”
