Colorectal Cancer

Brief summary

patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to the different doses of lidocaine or the placebo group. In the lidocaine groups, at the beginning of surgery, lidocaine 0.5mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg, and 1.5mg/kg per hour were continuously infused (using ideal body weight) respectively during the whole procedure. In contrast, the control group was infused with the same dose of normal saline. All the infusion procedures will be stopped at the end of surgery

Detailed description

patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to the different doses of lidocaine or the placebo group. In the lidocaine groups, at the beginning of surgery, lidocaine 0.5mg/kg, 1.0mg/kg, and 1.5mg/kg per hour were continuously infused (using ideal body weight) respectively during the whole procedure. In contrast, the control group was infused with the same dose of normal saline. All the infusion procedures will be stopped at the end of surgery. Subsequently, all subjects will receive an analgesic device named Patient-Controlled Intravenous Analgesia pump, briefly, PCIA pump during the first 72 postoperative hours. PCIA pump contains lidocaine 30mg/kg, sufentanil 2 μg/kg, and granisetron 12 mg diluted to 200 mL in 0.9 % normal saline, while in the placebo group, the lidocaine will be replaced with the equal dose of 0.9% normal saline and other components unchanged. All the background infusions of PCIA will be set at 2 ml/h, the bolus volume of each PCIA press is 2 ml and the lockout interval is 15 min.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of moderate to severe pain (NRS score≥4)during movement (i.e.deep breathing) 24 hours after surgeryThe first 24 hours after surgeryThe pain is evaluated using a numbering rating score(NRS).NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points repressing no pain,1-3points repressing mild pain, 4-6 points repressing moderate pain, 7-9 points repressing severe pain, and 10 points repressing the strongest pain.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The incidence of moderate to severe pain 24 hours after surgery at rest, 48 and 72 hours after surgery, both at rest and during movement24 hours after surgery at rest; 48 and 72 hours after surgery, both at rest and during movementThe pain will be evaluated using a numerical rating scale(NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, 1-3 points representing mild pain, 4-6 points representing moderate pain, 7-9 points representing severe pain, and 10 points representing the sharpest pain.
Incidence of lidocaine toxicity within 72 hours after surgerywithin 72 hours after surgerythe occurrence of one or more adverse events including tingling/pins and needles, especially around the eyes and mouth, ringing in the ears, dizziness, visual disturbances, and metallic taste.
Quality of Recovery Scale Score (QoR-15) at 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgery24, 48, and 72 hours after surgeryThe global QoR-15 score ranges from 0 to 150 and is categorized as five quality of recovery dimensions, including physical comfort (5 items), emotional state (4 items), psychological support (2 items), physical independence (2 items), and pain (2 items). Each piece is graded using an 11-point Likert scale. The QoR is classified according to the QoR-15 score as excellent (QoR-15 \> 135), good (122 ≤ QoR-15 ≤ 135), moderate (90 ≤ QoR-15 ≤ 121) and poor (QoR-15 \< 90).
The blood concentration of lidocaine immediately and 24 hours after the operationimmediately after the operation; 24 hours after the operationImmediately after the operation and 24 hours after the procedure, the researchers drew 3ml of blood respectively from patients to detect the blood concentration of lidocaine.
Incidence of adverse reactions to opioids within three days after surgerywithin three days after surgeryIt is defined as if patients happened any constipation, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, dizziness, itchy skin, confusion, respiratory depression, etc.
Length of hospital stayfrom the end of surgery to discharge, up to 1 month.determined by the number of days from admittance to discharge
The incidence of a composite of postoperative pulmonary complications during hospitalizationfrom the end of surgery to discharge, up to 1 weekdefined as positive if any component developed before discharge after surgery; These complications included respiratory infection, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, atelectasis, pneumothorax, bronchospasm, or aspiration pneumonitis
Bowel function recoveryFrom the end of surgery to discharge, up to 1 weekdefined as the time to first defecation or the time to first flatus
