About this study

Official title: The Effect of Intravenous Infusions of Lidocaine and Magnesium Versus Lidocaine and Ketamine Versus Lidocaine Alone on Recovery Profile and Postoperative Pain After Elective Gynecological Surgery

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a combination of intravenous infusions of lidocaine and magnesium versus a combination of intravenous infusions of lidocaine and ketamine versus an intravenous infusion of lidocaine alone on recovery profile, quality of recovery and postoperative pain after elective gynecological surgery

Read the detailed description

Inadequately treated postoperative pain after gynecological surgery may untowardly affect early recovery and also lead to the development of chronic pain. Opioid-based analgesia is associated with side-effects, such as respiratory depression, postoperative nausea and vomiting and occasional induction of tolerance and hyperalgesia. Therefore, in recent years research has focused on the quest for non-opioid-based regimens for perioperative analgesia in the context of multimodal analgesic techniques. These techniques have been shown to possess significant advantages, such as allowing earlier mobilization after surgery, early resumption of enteral feeding and reduced hospital length of stay.

In this context, the intraoperative intravenous injection of lidocaine has been reported to improve postoperative pain control, reduce opioid consumption and improve the quality of postoperative functional recovery after general anesthesia. Intraoperative infusions of ketamine (an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor inhibitor) have also been correlated with reduced pain scores and a decrease in analgesic requirements postoperatively. Lastly, magnesium (acting through modification of the action of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors) is another agent, which, as an adjuvant to general anesthesia may improve postoperative recovery and pain control through inhibition of cardiovascular response, reduction in general anesthetic needs, enhanced analgesia and anti-inflammatory response.

There is insufficient data in literature investigating the effect of combinations of these agents intraoperatively. It would be of interest to demonstrate whether the administration of combinations of infusions can lead to enhanced postoperative recovery, an improved opioid-sparing effect and a decrease in the development of chronic pain as compared to the administration of a sole agent alone. Therefore, the aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of a combination of intravenous infusions of lidocaine and magnesium versus a combination of intravenous infusions of lidocaine and ketamine versus an intravenous infusion of lidocaine alone on recovery profile, quality of recovery and postoperative pain after elective gynecological surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline in Quality of Recovery (QoR)-15 score after surgery

    The QoR-15 is a quality of recovery scale that consists of 15 questions (items),including questions regarding pain (2 items), physical comfort (5 items), self-care ability (2 items), psychological support (2 items) and emotional state (4 items). Every item is scored on a scale of 10, with the lowest total score of 0 and the highest score of 150. The higher the score, the better the recovery quality of the patient

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  2. pain score on arrival to Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) on arrival to PACU, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: immediately postoperatively

  3. pain score at discharge from Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at discharge from PACU, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: at discharge from PACU, approximately 1 h postoperatively

  4. pain score 3 hours postoperatively

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 3 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: 3 hours postoperatively

  5. pain score 6 hours postoperatively

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 6 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: 6 hours postoperatively

  6. pain score 24 hours postoperatively

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 24 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  7. pain score 48 hours postoperatively

    pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 48 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable"

    Measured: 48 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) duration of stay

    duration of patient stay at PACU

    Measured: immediately postoperatively

  2. sedation on arrival to Post-Anesthesia Care Unit

    sedation will be assessed with a 5-point sedation scale, where: 1, patient perfectly conscious; 2, patient feels a little drowsy; 3, patient seems to be sleeping but immediately reacts to verbal stimulation; 4, patient seems to be sleeping but slowly reacts to verbal stimulation and 5, patient seems to be sleeping and does not react to verbal stimulation but does react to a stimulus such as shaking or pain

    Measured: immediately postoperatively

  3. sedation at discharge from Post-Anesthesia Care (PACU) Unit

    sedation will be assessed with a 5-point sedation scale, where: 1, patient perfectly conscious; 2, patient feels a little drowsy; 3, patient seems to be sleeping but immediately reacts to verbal stimulation; 4, patient seems to be sleeping but slowly reacts to verbal stimulation and 5, patient seems to be sleeping and does not react to verbal stimulation but does react to a stimulus such as shaking or pain

    Measured: at discharge from PACU, approximately 1 hour postoperatively

  4. sevoflurane consumption during general anesthesia

    the sevoflurane vaporizer will be weighed before anesthetic induction and at the end of anesthesia and consequently sevoflurane consumption during anesthesia will be determined

    Measured: change of sevoflurane vaporizer weight from before induction to end of anesthesia, an average period of 2 hours

  5. time to first request for analgesia

    the time for the first patient request for analgesia will be noted
