Efficacy of Intravenous Lidocaine on Postoperative Pain and Recovery in Patients Undergoing Hepatectomy
- Conditions
- Primary Liver Cancer
- Interventions
- Drug: 0.9% normal saline
- Registration Number
- NCT04295330
- Lead Sponsor
- West China Hospital
- Brief Summary
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to either the lidocaine or the placebo group.
In the lidocaine group, at the end of the induction of general anesthesia, a bolus injection of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, calculated using the patient's ideal body weight and given as an infusion over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine at 1.5 mg/kg per hour for the whole surgical procedure and will be discontinued at the end of surgery. In the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline will be administered during anesthesia.
- Detailed Description
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to either the lidocaine or the placebo group.
In the lidocaine group, at the end of the induction of general anesthesia, a bolus injection of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg, calculated using the patient's ideal body weight and given as an infusion over 10 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine at 1.5 mg/kg per hour for the whole surgical procedure and will be discontinued at the end of surgery.
Blood samples will be drawn immediately after the bolus infusion of lidocaine, at the end of the surgery, and 24 hours after surgery to measure plasma lidocaine concentrations. Blood samples will also be collected 24 hours after surgery for subsequent measurement of IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). The obtained samples will be labeled, centrifuged, frozen, and stored locally at -80° for subsequent testing.
Postoperative pain management during the first 72 postoperative hours will involve the use of a PCIA device, which will contain lidocaine 30mg/kg, sufentanil 2 μg/kg, granisetron 12 mg diluted to 200 mL in 0.9 % normal saline. In the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline will be administered during anesthesia. The postoperative PCIA device will contain sufentanil 2 μg/kg, granisetron 12 mg diluted to 200 mL in 0.9% normal saline solution with a total volume of 200 ml. All the background infusions of PCIA will set at 2 ml/h, the bolus volume of each PCIA press is 2 ml and the lockout interval is 15 min.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary outcome is the incidence of moderate to severe pain (NRS ≥ 4) during movement (i.e. deep breathing) at 24 hours after surgery. The first 24 hours after surgery The pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale（NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, 1-3 points representing mild pain, 4-6 points representing moderate pain, 7-9 points representing severe pain and 10 points representing the strongest pain.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The incidence of moderate to severe pain at 24 hours after surgery at rest The first 24 hours after surgery The pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale（NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, 1-3 points representing mild pain, 4-6 points representing moderate pain, 7-9 points representing severe pain and 10 points representing the strongest pain.
Bowel function recovery At 3 days after surgery defined as the time to first defecation or time to first flatus
The cumulative morphine consumption at 24, 48 and 72 hours postoperatively At the end of the surgery，24，48 and 72 hours after surgery intra-operative and postoperative opioid use is reported as morphine milligram equivalents, calculated using the Practical Pain Management calculator
The incidence of PONV during the first 72 hours after surgery At 3 days after surgery we considered it PONV if patients felt any nausea or had any vomiting
The incidence of a composite of postoperative pulmonary complications during hospitalization during the period from the end of surgery to discharge defined as positive if any component developed before discharge after surgery; These complications included respiratory infection, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, atelectasis, pneumothorax, bronchospasm, or aspiration pneumonitis loading dose, immediately after the end of surgery, and at the first 24 hours after surgery
Length of hospital stay during the period from the end of surgery to discharge determined by the number of days from admittance to discharge
Patient satisfaction scores 72 hours after surgery and before discharge (satisfaction scores regarding pain control and the overall recovery process were obtained at 72 hours after surgery, using a 11-point Likert scale, with 0 indicating "very dissatisfied"and10 indicating "very satisfied"
Levels of inflammatory factors ( IL-6, TNF-α) at 24 hours after surgery. at 24 hours after surgery. Levels of inflammatory factors ( IL-6, TNF-α) at 24 hours after surgery.
The incidence of moderate to severe pain at 48 and 72 hours after surgery at rest and during movement; At 3 days after surgery The pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale（NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, 1-3 points representing mild pain, 4-6 points representing moderate pain, 7-9 points representing severe pain and 10 points representing the strongest pain.
