NCT00382499

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous lidocaine infusion administered during general anesthesia in:

  1. 1.Reducing length of hospital stay following total abdominal hysterectomy
  2. 2.Reducing postoperative analgesic requirement following total abdominal hysterectomy.
  3. 3.Length of hospital stay
  4. 4.Total opioid use at 48 hours postoperatively
  5. 5.Intraoperative data: BIS scores (to control depth of anesthesia); intraoperative serum lidocaine levels; intraoperative opioid use
  6. 6.Opioid use in the recovery room
  7. 7.Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) morphine requirements postoperatively up to 48 hours
  8. 8.Oral pain controlling medication use up to 48 hours postoperatively if IV PCA discontinued before 48 hours
  9. 9.Verbal Analogue Scale (VAS) pain scores in recovery room and during first 2 days post-operatively
  10. 10.Incidence of side effects that can be attributed to local anesthetic toxicity
  11. 11.Incidence of nausea and vomiting and anti-emetic use up to 48 hours postoperatively
  12. 12.Time of first flatus and first bowel movement.
