Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of Continuous Intravenous Intraoperative Lidocaine Infusion on Opioids Consumption and Postoperative Recovery in Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Lobectomy].
Objective To investigate whether continuous intravenous intraoperative lidocaine infusion can reduce the opioids dosage and improve postoperative recovery in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic(VATS) lobectomy. Methods Totally 60 patients undergoing VATS lobectomy were enrolled in this single-center randomized controlled study. The patients were equally randomized into lidocaine continuous pumping group(lidocaine group) and control group by computer-based random numbers. ⋯ The incidence of postoperative nausea within 24 hours was significantly lower in the lidocaine group(P=0.045). There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative recovery(all P>0.05). Conclusion Intravenous continuous pumping of lidocaine during operation can reduce opioids consumption and lower the incidence of postoperative nausea without extra adverse or toxic reaction in patients undergoing VATS lobectomy.
