Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xylocaine spray for the pain caused by endotracheal tube, and its impact on patients’ satisfaction of intensive care. Methods: A quantitative evaluation of the effect before and after Xylocaine spray on endotracheal tube pain relief, and a qualitative interview study of the impact of this intervention on patients’ satisfaction of intensive care in a prospective, clinical investigation. Those in the medical intensive care unit being endotracheal intubated and being able to clearly communicate with the caregivers were enrolled after providing their inform consent. We prescribed Xylocaine 10% pump spray as frequently as demanded. Results: Nineteen patients were eligible for this study. The numerical rating scale of the throat pain before local Xylocaine spray were 8.82±0.79, 7.98±0.92, 7.07±0.76, 6.37±0.83 and 5.47±1.23, sequentially, compared with after therapy results, which were 3.84±0.86, 3.57±0.74, 3.06±0.70, 2.61±0.77 and 1.96±0.88 (p |
