Perioperative Lidocaine for Lung Protection in Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Summary

Cardiopulmonary bypass-associated pulmonary injury is a common complication after infant cardiac surgery and may contribute to impaired oxygenation, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and longer intensive care stay. Lidocaine has anti-inflammatory and membrane-stabilizing properties and may attenuate perioperative lung injury. This investigator-initiated, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial will evaluate whether perioperative intravenous lidocaine reduces postoperative pulmonary injury in infants undergoing corrective non-palliative congenital cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
