Project Overview

Currently, patients undergoing laryngoscopy are subject to general anesthetic during surgery. As they are extubated while coming out of anesthesia, patients can experience side effects that include hypertension, tachycardia, tachyarrhythmias, intracranial pressure, and intraocular pressure, due to involuntary coughing by the patient. An endotracheal lidocaine applicator reduces coughing following extubation, however, they are currently not compatible with recently developed direct laryngoscopy systems. Our goal is to design a lidocaine applicator that can be used with both direct and indirect laryngoscopy.
