Single center double blind randomised controlled trial. 60 subjects. Giving lidocaine IV or saline to patients due to robot assisted colorectal surgery. Primary outcome is cumulative morphine consumption at 24 hours.

Detailed description

Prospective double blind randomised controlled trial. The investigators are giving lidocaine IV or saline to 60 patients undergoing robot assisted colorectal surgery. Blinding and randomization is done by the hospital pharmacy. Both groups get otherwise the same treatment and a IV PCA (patient controlled administration) morphine pump for objectivisation of opioid consumption. Other outcome measures are NRS (numerical rating score) pain score, PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting), use of antiemetics and opioid consumption up to 72 hours.
