    Objectives/HypothesisSystemic infusions of lidocaine have been widely used as perioperative analgesic adjuvants. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial was to investigate the effect of perioperative lidocaine infusion on postoperative early recovery quality in upper airway surgery.Study DesignProspective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial.MethodsA total of 99 patients were randomly assigned to the lidocaine group (group L) or the control group (group C). The patients received 2 mg/kg lidocaine completed within 10 minutes before the induction of anesthesia followed by continuous infusions of 2 mg/kg/hr lidocaine (group L) or the same volume of 0.9% normal saline (group C) intravenously during anesthesia. The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) survey was administered on the preoperative day (Pre) and postoperative days 1 (POD1) and 2 (POD2). The primary endpoint was QoR-40 score on POD1 and POD2.ResultsCompared with Pre, global QoR-40 scores on POD1 and POD2 were significantly lower (P < .05). Compared with group C, global QoR-40 scores were significantly higher in group L on POD1 and POD2 (P < .05). Among the five dimensions of QoR-40, the scores for physical comfort, emotional state, and pain were superior in group L compared to group C (P < .05). Compared with group C, the consumption of remifentanil and diclofenac as well as the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative 48-hour numeric rating scale (NRS) scores in group L were significantly lower (P < .05).ConclusionsSystemic lidocaine infusion can improve QoR-40 scores in patients with upper airway surgery, reduce the dosage of intraoperative opioids, decrease the incidence of PONV and NRS scores 2 days after surgery, thus improving postoperative early recovery quality.Level Of Evidence1b Laryngoscope, 131:E63-E69, 2021.© 2020 The American Laryngological, Rhinological and Otological Society, Inc.
