Brief summary
Adding a perioperative lidocaine infusion (1.5 mg/kg loading + 1.5 mg/kg/h) to bilateral EOIB and low dose fentanyl loading reduces intraoperative fentanyl consumption (ANI guided rescue) compared to placebo, without increasing adverse events.
Interventions
Adding a perioperative lidocaine infusion (1.5 mg/kg loading + 1.5 mg/kg/h) to bilateral EOIB and low dose fentanyl loading reduces intraoperative fentanyl consumption (ANI guided rescue) compared to placebo, without increasing adverse events.
Bilateral EOIB + fentanyl 1 μg/kg loading + normal saline loading (equivalent volume) + normal saline infusion (equivalent rate).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total intraoperative fentanyl consumption | Intraoperative time, during surgery | Total intraoperative fentanyl consumption (μg) = loading dose (1 μg/kg) + rescue boluses. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Postoperative morphine consumption | The first 24 hours | Postoperative morphine consumption (mg) at 24 hours. |
| First rescue fentanyl and time to first postoperative morphine | The first 24 hours | Time to first rescue fentanyl (from induction to first bolus) and Time to first postoperative morphine (from PACU arrival to first dose). |
| Pain scores | Upon arrival, 1 hour, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours. | Pain scores (VAS score ranging 0-100) at Post Anesthetic Care Unit arrival, 1 hour, 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours. |
