Brief summary

Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to the lidocaine group or placebo group.

Detailed description

Patients who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized 1:1 to the lidocaine group or placebo group. In the lidocaine groups, lidocaine 1.5mg/kg/h was continuously infused (using ideal body weight) during the whole procedure, postoperative analgesia pump with lidocaine (lidocaine 50mg/kg, sufentanil 2ug/kg, glassetron 12mg), diluted to 200ml with saline until 72h after surgery. Blood samples will be collected from some patients in the lidocaine group for the measurement of lidocaine plasma concentration.In the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline will be administered during anesthesia. The postoperative PCIA device will contain sufentanil 2 μg/kg, granisetron 12 mg diluted to 200 mL in 0.9% normal saline solution with a total volume of 200 mL.

Interventions

DRUGlidocaine

Patients in the lidocaine groups, lidocaine 1.5mg/kg/h was continuously infused (using ideal body weight) during the whole procedure, postoperative analgesia pump with lidocaine (lidocaine 50mg/kg, sufentanil 2ug/kg, glassetron 12mg), diluted to 200ml with saline until 72h after surgery. Blood samples will be collected from some patients in the lidocaine group for the measurement of lidocaine plasma concentration.

DRUGPlacebo

In the placebo group, the same volume of normal saline will be administered during anesthesia. The postoperative PCIA device will contain sufentanil 2 μg/kg, granisetron 12 mg diluted to 200 mL in 0.9% normal saline solution with a total volume of 200 mL.

Masking description

Blinding of research personnel and patients will be maintained throughout the observation period. On the day of surgery, nurses who did not participate in the perioperative management will assign the standard configuration of the trial drugs, including intraoperative medication and the configuration of the postoperative analgesic pump, to the researchers before the induction of anesthesia. Throughout the study, the patients and researchers should not be unblinded until the statistical analysis of the study data is completed. During the operation, an independent anesthesiologist will be responsible for the blood draw, and the postoperative blood samples will be collected together with the routine blood examination specimens. The investigators remained blinded throughout the observation period until the anesthesiologist or assessors observe significant adverse events of local general anesthesia toxicity.

Intervention model description

Patients were randomized in a 1:1 lidocaine group, placebo control group using a computer-generated random number table. After the randomization scheme is written, use the opaque envelope, hide each group envelope into an opaque envelope, the envelope outside the code, is sealed to the researcher, when the study, if the inclusion criteria, then open the corresponding numbered envelope, and intervene according to the group scheme in the envelope.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scores of movement-evoked pain at postoperative 24 hoursup to 24 hours postoperativelyThe pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale(NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, and 10 points representing the strongest pain.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scores of pain at rest at 24, 48 and 72 hours postoperativelyFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelyThe pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale(NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, and 10 points representing the strongest pain.
The incidence of moderate-to-severe movement-evoked pain at 24, 48 and 72 hours postoperativelyFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelyThe pain is evaluated using 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 strongest pain.
The incidence of moderate-to-severe pain at rest at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperativelyFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelyThe pain is evaluated using 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 strongest pain.
The cumulative morphine consumption at 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperativelyFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelypostoperative opioid use is reported as morphine milligram equivalents, calculated using the Practical Pain Management calculator
Time of Bowel function recoveryAt 3 days after surgerydefined as the time to first defecation or time to first flatusdefined as the time to first defecation or time to first flatus defined as the time to first defecation or time to first flatus
Pain scores of movement-evoked pain at postoperative 48 and 72 hoursFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelyThe pain is evaluated using numerical rating scale(NRS). NRS scores range from 0 to 10 points, with 0 points representing no pain, and 10 points representing the strongest pain.
The incidence of a composite of postoperative pulmonary complications during hospitalisationduring the period from the end of surgery to discharge, an average of 7 daysdefined as positive if any component developed before discharge after surgery;
Length of hospital stayduring the period from the end of surgery to discharge, an average of 7 daysLength of hospital stay
Quality of Recovery Scale Score at 24, 48, and 72 hours after surgeryFrom the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelyThe 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).
Incidence of lidocaine toxicityFrom the time of anesthesia induction until the date of 72 hours postoperativelysuch as new onset electrocardiogram (ECG) irregularities, drowsiness, light-headedness, metallic taste, peri-oral numbness, and tinnitus
plasma lidocaine concentrationFrom the time of anesthesia induction until the date of 24hours postoperativelyBlood samples will be collected from some patients in the lidocaine group measurement of lidocaine plasma concentration.
The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting during the first 72 hours postoperatively (any nausea or vomiting);From the date of the end of surgery until the date of 72 hours postoperativelywe considered it PONV if patients felt any nausea or had any vomiting
