Abstract

Background
Postoperative cough may occur after tracheal intubation, but it is indistinct which drug is best at diminishing these events. Additionally, airway reflexes are commonly accompanied by severe hemodynamics responses during emergence.

Objectives
To evaluate the role of topical airway anesthesia on immediate post-extubation cough/bucking and extubation time.

Methods
Randomized clinical trials from MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and LILACS published until December 23, 2020 were included. Our primary outcome was postoperative cough/bucking incidence which was compared between local anesthetics and controls. Extubation times were likewise considered. Predisposition appraisal and subgroup, affectability investigations were likewise performed.

Results
The pooled analysis found a 45% reduction in cough incidence after treatment with topical airway local anesthetic (RR = 0.55; 95% CI: 0.42 to 0.72; p < 0.001). The number needed to treat (NNT) was 4.61. The intervention showed no differences in reduction of the extubation time (mean difference = -0.07; 95% CI: -0.14 to 0.28; p = 0.49).

Conclusion
Topical airway anesthesia demonstrated better than placebo or no medication in reducing immediate post-extubation cough/bucking. Further studies could have this objective to combine the different ways to perform better outcomes for patients.

Resumo

Introdução

A tosse pós-operatória pode ocorrer após a intubação traqueal, mas é indistinto qual droga é melhor para diminuir esses eventos. Além disso, os reflexos das vias aéreas são comumente acompanhados por respostas hemodinâmicas graves durante a emergência.

Objetivos

Avaliar o papel da anestesia tópica das vias aéreas na tosse/reflexo de tosse pós-extubação imediata e no tempo de extubação.

Métodos

Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos randomizados do MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL e LILACS publicados até 23 de dezembro de 2020. Nosso desfecho primário foi a incidência de tosse/reflexo de tosse pós-operatória, que foi comparada entre anestésicos locais e controles. Os tempos de extubação também foram considerados. Avaliação de predisposição e subgrupo, investigações de suscetibilidade também foram realizadas.

Resultados

A análise agrupada encontrou uma redução de 45% na incidência de tosse após o tratamento com anestésico local das vias aéreas (RR = 0,55; IC 95%: 0,42 a 0,72; p < 0,001). O número necessário para tratar (NNT) foi de 4,61. A intervenção não apresentou diferenças na redução do tempo de extubação (diferença média = -0,07; IC 95%: -0,14 a 0,28; p = 0,49).

Conclusão

A anestesia tópica das vias aéreas demonstrou ser melhor do que o placebo ou nenhuma medicação na redução da tosse/reflexo de tosse pós-extubação imediata. Novos estudos poderiam ter esse objetivo de combinar as diferentes formas de atingir melhores resultados para os pacientes.
