Intravenous and Intraperitoneal Lignocaine for Perioperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Colon Resections

Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effects of intraperitoneal lignocaine (IPL) compared with intravenous lignocaine (IVL) after laparoscopic colon resections. We plan to run a 2 group randomized, double blind, clinical trial which will look into morphine consumption as the primary outcome. Group 1 (IV lignocaine)- IV bolus of lignocaine and a 3 day post operative IV lignocaine infusion. Intra peritoneal (IP) bolus of normal saline + 3 day post operative IP normal saline infusion Group 2 (IP lignocaine)- IV bolus of normal saline and a 3 day post operative IV normal saline infusion. IP bolus of lignocaine + 3 day post operative IP lignocaine infusion
