Summary

Lidocaine, local anesthetic used for more than five decades, is being intravenously administered aiming at managing pain in different types of surgeries with promising results. Opioid-induced hyperalgesia need to be considered in ear-nose-throat (ENT) surgery owing to the difficulty of locoregional anesthesia and high level of opioid consumption.

This randomized study aims to compare quality of perioperative analgesia after infusion of intravenous lidocaine during carcinological ENT surgery. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate morphine consumption during the 48 postoperative hours.

Others purposes are evaluation of peroperative remifentanil consumption, morphine consumption during the 24 postoperative hours, chronic post-surgical pain evaluated from 3 to 6 months after carcinologic ENT surgery, and incidence of side effects that can be attributed to lidocaine infusion.

Conditions

  • Carcinologic Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Surgery

Interventions

DRUG

Lidocaine 20mg/ml

Patients in Lidocaine group received an intravenous bolus injection of 1,5 mg/kg lidocaine (0,075mL/kg of Lidocaine 20mg/mL) followed by a continuous lidocaine infusion of 2 mg/kg/hr during surgery (0,1mL/kg/hr of Lidocaine 20mg/mL) and 1 mg/kg/hr in recovery room (0,05mL/kg/hr of Lidocaine 20mg/mL).

DRUG

Glucose 5% (placebo)

Patients in control group received an intravenous bolus injection of 0,075mL/kg of placebo (Glucose 5%) by a continuous lidocaine infusion of 0,1mL/kg/hr of placebo (Glucose 5%) during surgery and 0,05mL/kg/hr of placebo (Glucose 5%) in recovery room.
