IV Lidocaine Infusion Versus Placebo for Pain Control in Staging Laparoscopy Cases
Sponsor: Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre
Summary
IV lidocaine infusion is being used as an analgesic adjunct, since we are a opioid depleted country we are using lidocaine to decrease opioid consumption and avoid the side effects such nausea, vomiting and respiratory depression associated with morphine consumption. We have given the option of rescue analgesia to the anesthetist if the clinical scenario demands.
