Effect of intravenous lidocaine on cough response to endotracheal intubation in propofol ‐anaesthetized dogs
Conclusions and clinical relevanceIV lidocaine can decrease the incidence of cough during endotracheal intubation in dogs premedicated with acepromazine and methadone, but does not appear to have a sparing effect on the dose of propofol required for endotracheal intubation. Use of IV lidocaine, prior to induction of anaesthesia with propofol may be beneficial in dogs where coughing at intubation would be detrimental.
