Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  2% Alkalinized lignocaine,   2% lignocaine + sodium bicarbonate 7.5% (9ml + 1ml), this will be made into a stock solution of 10 ml. Around 4-6 ml will be used for inflating the endotracheal tube cuff after intubation until the air leak heard over trachea is lost.The cuff will remain inflated with this solution for the entire duration of surgery till extubation. Time period varies from 2 to 4 hours.  
Comparator Agent  air  Air will be injected into the endotracheal tube cuff after intubation. This will serve as control. The cuff will remain inflated for the entire duration of surgery till extubation. Time period can vary from 2 to 4 hours.  
Intervention  Dexamethasone  Dexamethasone 0.1 ml/kg in normal saline, for preparing a stock solution of 10 ml. Around 4-6 ml of this will be injected into the endotracheal tube cuff after until the air leak heard over trachea is lost.The cuff will remain inflated with this solution for the entire duration of surgery till extubation. Time period varies from 2 to 4 hours.

Brief Summary  

Endotracheal intubation often causes several postoperative laryngotracheal morbidities like sore throat, cough, dysphagia, hoarseness of voice. Different medications and techniques have been adopted to relieve these complications. Injecting alkalinized lignocaine into endotracheal tube cuff has already shown promising results in various studies. Injection Ketamine used intracuff also gave comparable results, but studies on intracuff dexamethasone are very few. Dexamethasone is a potent corticosteroid with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antiemetic properties. Preoperative IV dexamethasone has been reported to reduce the incidence of postoperative pain and swelling following oral surgeries. Even when used intracuff, dexamethasone yielded favorable results in the few studies that we have come across. Therefore, we wish study the effects of injection Dexamethasone against 2% alkalinized Lignocaine when used as an intracuff reservoir in relieving laryngotracheal morbidities.
