Brief Summary

Aim of the Work The investigators aim to compare lidocaine-based anesthesia versus conventional anesthesia in the presence of multimodal analgesia protocol in terms of early quality of recovery and analgesic efficacy. Objectives To compare quality of recovery using the Quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) score between lidocaine-based anesthesia in relation to conventional anesthesia in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Hypothesis the investigators hypothesize that lidocaine-based regimen would be effective in reducing opioid use and provide superior quality of recovery compared to conventional opioid-routine anesthesia in emergency laparotomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • - Quality of recovery using the QoR-15 score 24 h after surgery.

    \- Quality of recovery using the QoR-15 score 24 h after surgery. An 11-point numerical rating scale (for positive items, 0 = "none of the time" to 10 = "all of the time"; for negative items the scoring was reversed; maximum score 150).

    24 hours
