Systemic Effects of Lidocaine Infusion for TAP Block Catheter
RandomizedParallel-groupQuadruple-blindTreatment
Summary
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that is usually used for nerve blocks to sensory/motor blockade. However, lidocaine can also been given intravenously, and it has been shown that this method can be used to help alleviate chronic pain. We wish to investigate if lidocaine is infused via the transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block catheter will exert systemic effect, hence reduce opioid consumption and pain score in patients compared with using local anesthetic such as ropivacaine.
