Effect of Intravenous Lidocaine on Propofol Requirements

Summary

Lidocaine, an amide local anesthetic, has advantages of low price and easily obtaining. Intravenous lidocaine (IVL)initially has been used in the treatment of arrhythmia. It was demonstrated that IVL had analgesic effect, especially in colorectal surgery, but remained controversy in other types of surgeries. Other beneficial effects, such as prevention of hyperalgesia and propofol-induced injection pain, reduction of incidence of postoperative ileus and nausea and vomiting and anti-inflammatory also were proposed.
