Synergistic Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine on Anesthetic Induction and Emergence in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy or Gynecological Surgery

Not Applicable
Conditions
Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic
Gynecologic Surgical Procedures
Anesthesia and Procedure Related Time Intervals
Interventions
Drug: Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl)
Drug: Lidocaine Bolus + Infusion
Registration Number
NCT07193836
Lead Sponsor
General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University
Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of intravenous lidocaine on consciousness changes during anesthesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy or gynecologic surgery. A total of 150 patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a single-dose lidocaine group, a continuous-infusion group, or a placebo group. All patients will receive standard anesthesia care, and the study will monitor brain activity using EEG-based PSi values to measure anesthesia induction time, recovery time, and changes in consciousness. The goal is to determine whether lidocaine can reduce the amount of anesthetic used, shorten the time to fall asleep, and promote faster awakening after surgery. The results may help improve anesthesia safety and enhance recovery in surgical patients.

GroupInterventionDescription
1. Placebo GroupNormal Saline (0.9% NaCl)Participants received an intravenous injection of 0.9% normal saline at induction, with no lidocaine administration throughout the perioperative period.
2. Lidocaine Bolus Group(Experimental)LidocaineParticipants received a single intravenous bolus of lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg) at anesthesia induction. No continuous infusion was administered.
3. Lidocaine Bolus + Infusion Group(Experimental)Lidocaine Bolus + InfusionParticipants received an intravenous bolus of lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg) at induction, followed by continuous intravenous infusion of lidocaine (2.0 mg/kg/h) until the end of surgery.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to emergence from general anesthesiaImmediately after anesthesia discontinuation (Day 0)

Measured as the time interval (in seconds) from discontinuation of anesthetics to eye opening on verbal command.

Time to loss of consciousnessDuring anesthesia induction on Day 0

Measured as the time (in seconds) from the beginning of propofol administration to loss of response to verbal command and eyelash reflex.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total propofol dosage during anesthesia inductionDuring anesthesia induction on Day 0

Total amount of propofol (in mg) administered from the start of anesthesia to the achievement of loss of consciousness.

Total amount of propofol administered during the entire surgical procedureDuring the surgical procedure on Day 0

Total amount of propofol (in mg/kg/h) administered during the entire surgical procedure

Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)Baseline, intraoperative (Day 0), and immediately post-anesthesia (Day 0)

MAP will be recorded at three time points: prior to induction of anesthesia (baseline), during anesthesia maintenance, and after emergence from anesthesia. Unit of Measure: mmHg

Heart Rate (HR)Baseline, intraoperative (Day 0), and immediately post-anesthesia (Day 0)

HR will be recorded at three time points: prior to induction of anesthesia (baseline), during anesthesia maintenance, and after emergence from anesthesia. Unit of Measure: beats per minute (bpm)

Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂)Baseline, intraoperative (Day 0), and immediately post-anesthesia (Day 0)

SpO₂ will be recorded at three time points: prior to induction of anesthesia (baseline), during anesthesia maintenance, and after emergence from anesthesia. Unit of Measure: %

Change in Patient State Index (PSI) values at four key timepointsBaseline, intraoperative (Day 0), and immediately post-anesthesia (Day 0)

PSI will be measured using the Masimo SedLine® monitor at:

Baseline (before induction) After loss of consciousness Minimum value during anesthesia After emergence The difference in PSI between timepoints will be analyzed.
