Registration Number
NCT00693043
Lead Sponsor
Lahey Clinic
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the potential to decrease the use of IV anesthesia drugs in patients undergoing pleuroscopy administering lidocane standardly applied to the skin in combination with atomized lidocaine applied into the pleural cavity.

Detailed Description

Most patient discomfort results from direct manipulation or contact with the parietal pleura during chest tube placement, talc instillation or pleural biopsy. This study intends to use combined IV, intradermal and intrapleural anesthesia during pleuroscopy procedures. Intrapleural atomized lidocaine will be applied directly to the parital pleura. This study will evaluate intravenous anesthesia reduction in subjects treated with intrapleural lidocaine, reduction in total procedure timeby minimizing interruptions due to poor pain control, reduce perioperative pain scores and improve patient comfort nad to determine safety of fixed dosage of 3 mg/kg intrapleural lidocaine given during pleuroscopy.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Lidocaine Grouplidocaine hydrochloridePatients randomized to arm two will receive a reduced topical dose of lidocaine of 2mg/kg and additional lidocaine 3mg/kg infused into the pleura cavity. Duration of procedure will be monitored from the time initial dose of intradermal lidocaine until the start of surgical wound closing, pain scale will be administered prior to the procedure and at the end of the procedure. Lidocaine serum levels will be monitored at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after initial intradermal administration of lidocaine.
