Instilled Lidocaine vs Placebo for Pain Management During Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) Dressing Changes.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Instilled 1% Lidocaine and Placebo (0.9% Normal Saline) for Burn. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients will be randomized prospectively to one of two groups. One group will receive 5 mg/kg of 1% lidocaine, and the other will receive .9 normal saline, instilled into their VAC sponge ½ hour prior to VAC dressing change. All patients will complete a pain assessment tool prior to receiving the instilled lidocaine/placebo, immediately after the procedure and 1 hour after the procedure. Pain scores will then be compared between the lidocaine and placebo groups. Risks: Lidocaine toxicity is a potential risk, but 5 mg/kg of 1 % Lidocaine is below toxicity thresholds in an adult.
