About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine on Short-term Outcomes After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Intravenous lidocaine has been shown to have analgesic, antinflammatory, antihyperalgesic, antithrombotics and neuroprotective properties. In a previous study conducted in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia with desflurane and fentanyl, intraoperative i.v. infusion of lidocaine spared opioids consumption in the recovery room by 30%.

The purpose of this study was to determine if an i.v. infusion of lidocaine without intraoperative opioids would reduce the amount of fentanyl to the same extent and opioids-related side effects.

Lidocaine, Fentanyl

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • LidocaineDrug

    1.5 mg/Kg as bolus and a continuous infusion of 2mg/Kg/hr until the end of surgery (closure of the skin)

  • FentanylDrug

    Fentanyl 3 mcg/Kg as bolus at the induction and a continuous infusion of normal saline (NaCl 0.9%) until the end of surgery (skin closure)

Study groups in NCT01062906
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlPlacebo comparatorThe control group receives intravenous fentanyl at the induction of anesthesia followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine during the surgery.
Receives: Drug: Fentanyl
LidocaineActive comparatorThe Lidocaine group will receive lidocaine as bolus at the induction of anesthesia followed by a continuous infusion of lidocaine until the end of surgery
Receives: Drug: Lidocaine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Fentanyl consumption (measured as fentanyl equivalents -mcg)

    Measured: postoperative day 0 (day of surgery before beeing discharged home) and 24 hr after the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pain, Static and Dynamic

    Measured: On postoperative day 0 (day of surgey before beeing discharged home) and 24 hrs after the end of surgery

  2. Opioids side-effects

    Measured: On postoperative day 0 (before beeing discharged home) and at 24 hrs after the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lidocaine and Fentanyl in people with Postoperative Pain and Opioid Consumption, run by McGill University Health Centre/Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fentanyl consumption (measured as fentanyl equivalents -mcg) (time frame: postoperative day 0 (day of surgery before beeing discharged home) and 24 hr after the end of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01062906, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jan 2011.
