NCT02862769

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of intravenous lidocaine on acute and chronic post surgical pain on patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS). The investigators believe that systemic administration of lidocaine during the perioperative period would be effective in preventing chronic pain post VATS. In addition to chronic pain the investigators believe it will reduce acute postoperative pain as well as each patients total opioid requirement.The investigators believe that this will have a significant impact on the care of patients presenting for VATS.

Study Arms (2)

Lidocaine infusion

EXPERIMENTAL

first group (lidocaine group) will include those who receive a intraoperative lidocaine infusion (Induction bolus dose of 1.5 mg/kg body weight followed by a continous lidocaine infusion

Drug: Lidocaine

Saline Infusion

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The second group will include those who receive a intraoperative placebo i(Induction bolus dose of 1.5 mg/kg body weight of lidocaine followed by a continous saline infusion at the same rate as the lidocaine infusion.

Drug: LidocaineDrug: Saline

Interventions

. Perioperatively, when lidocaine is administered as a continuous infusion at clinically relevant doses (1-2 mg/kg/hr) results in plasma concentration below 5µg.mL-1. At this plasma level, it is adequate to attenuate sympathetic responses , decrease pain and demonstrate a significant opioid sparing effect.
