Summary

This prospective interventional study was carried out at Liaquat National Hospital and Medical College to evaluate and compare the postoperative analgesic effects of intravenous lidocaine and magnesium sulphate in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A total of 168 ASA I-II patients were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups of 84 participants each (Group L: Lidocaine, Group M: Magnesium Sulphate) using a sealed-envelope randomization technique in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. All patients received standardized general anesthesia with propofol, isoflurane, and atracurium, and routine postoperative care included intravenous diclofenac sodium and ondansetron. Postoperative pain was measured at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to assess and compare the efficacy and duration of analgesia between the two groups. The study aimed to provide insight into the relative analgesic performance of lidocaine and magnesium sulphate, supporting improved pain management strategies following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery
  • Postoperative Pain Management

Interventions

DRUG

IV 2mg of Magnesium Sulphate

Patients in the magnesium sulfate group received 2 mg of the drug, which was diluted with normal saline to a total volume of 10 mL and administered intravenously as a single stat dose at the time of anesthesia reversal following completion of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The injection was performed under aseptic conditions by an anesthetist who was blinded to group assignment. All participants received routine postoperative care, including intravenous diclofenac sodium 75 mg every 8 hours for baseline pain control and intravenous ondansetron 4 mg to prevent nausea. Postoperative pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Patients experiencing significant pain were given intravenous Kinz 5 mg as rescue analgesia, and the timing of administration was recorded for documentation.

DRUG

IV Lidocain 60 mg/kg

Patients in the Lidocaine group received 3 mL of 2% lidocaine, diluted with 7 mL of normal saline to prepare a 10 mL solution, which was administered intravenously as a stat dose at the time of anesthesia reversal, immediately after surgery. The intervention was given using the same protocol and blinding method as the Ketamine group to maintain uniformity. Similar to Group K, all patients received standard postoperative medications, including IV diclofenac sodium and ondansetron. Pain assessment was performed using the VAS scale at 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively. Patients requiring additional pain relief were given IV Kinz 5 mg as rescue analgesia, with the time of each administration noted.
