About this study

Official title: Analgesic Efficacy of Intravenous Perfusion of Lidocaine, Ketamine or a Combination After Laparotomy in a Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Double-blind Prospective Study

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the analgesic benefit of intravenous lidocaine and ketamine in the perioperative period of abdominal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Optimal postoperative pain management facilitates rehabilitation immediately after abdominal surgery. Multiple studies have demonstrated that successful postoperative analgesia also reduces perioperative complications and improves patient comfort, thereby providing many benefits for the patient. In acute postoperative pain management intravenous lidocaine and/or ketamine have been advocated because of their morphine-sparing effect.

What participants receive

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

  • Lidocaine,Drug

    Lidocaine group received an IV bolus of 1.5 mg.kg-1 followed by a continuous infusion of 2 mg.kg-1.h-1 intraoperative and 1.33 mg.kg-1.h-1 for 48 h postoperative.

  • KetamineDrug

    Ketamine group received a bolus of 0.5 mg.kg-1, then 0.25 mg.kg-1.h-1 followed by 0.1 mg.kg-1.h-1 for the first 24 h, then 0.05 mg.kg-1.h-1 for the next 24 h.

  • association ketamine-lidocaineDrug

    Ketamine-lidocaine group received a bolus of 1.5 mg.kg-1 of lidocaine and 0.5 mg.kg-1 of ketamine, a continuous infusion of 1.3 mg.kg-1.h-1 of lidocaine and 0.17 mg.kg-1.h-1 of ketamine was delivered followed by 0.9 mg.kg-1 of lidocaine with 0.08 mg.kg-1.h-1 of ketamine during 48 h, the dose of ketamine being reduced to 0.04 mg.kg-1.h-1 after the first 24 hours.

  • PlaceboDrug

    The control group (C) received an equal volume of saline 0.9 % during 48 h.
