Comparing Analgesic Efficacy of Systemic Lidocaine Against Placebo in General Anesthesia in Bariatric Surgery: Prospective, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo Controlled, Mono-Center Study
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Lidocaine Hydrochloride and Saline Solution for Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 140 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators plan to evaluate the analgesic effect of systemic Lidocaine in addition to general anesthesia during bariatric surgery. Patients will be subdivided into a "Lidocaine group" and a "Control group". The primary outcome will be the proportion of patients suffering from higher pain intensity within the first four hours after bariatric surgery. Secondary outcomes include the average maximal pain intensity during first four hours and during 48 hours, total opiate consumption, occurence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, time to first defecation and total time spent in hospital.

Timeline
Interventions
The intervention to be studied will be the additional application of systemic lidocaine 1% dosed 1.5 ml/kg LBM to general anesthesia in bariatric surgery. Patients, randomly assigned to one study group, will be surveyed for 48 hours after completion of surgery, experienced pain, occurrence of PONV, time to first defecation and length of hospitalization will be monitored. Patients, medical practitioner, nurses and investigators will be blinded by utilization of equal appearance and packing of IMPs, which will be fabricated individually for each patient and on request one to two days before surgery by the pharmacy. Each patient will self-evaluate his maximal experienced pain eight-hourly during a sequence of 48 hours after completion of surgery.
The intervention to be studied will be the additional application of NaCl 0.9% dosed 1.5 ml/kg LBM to general anesthesia in bariatric surgery as a placebo. Patients, randomly assigned to one study group, will be surveyed for 48 hours after completion of surgery, experienced pain, occurrence of PONV, time to first defecation and length of hospitalization will be monitored. Each patient will self-evaluate his maximal experienced pain eight-hourly during a sequence of 48 hours after completion of surgery.
