Trial Outcomes & Findings for Continuous Lidocaine Infusion for Management of Perioperative Burn Pain (NCT NCT02059902)

NCT ID: NCT02059902

Last Updated: 2018-07-03

Results Overview

The infusion was initiated at 1.5mg/kg for 30 minutes prior to surgery start, followed by a 2.0 mg/kg/hr infusion at the time of incision start. The rate was reduced to 1.5mg/kg/hr for the remainder of the 24 hour period. A standardized post-operative pain management strategy (morphine and oxycodone) was followed by clinical staff, based on a standardized pain scale rating tool. The difference in narcotic consumption and number of pain medication doses over the 72-hour post-operative period was compared using an unadjusted Wilcoxon rank sum test due to non-normal data distribution.

Participant Flow

36 patients were consented during the study period, 28 patients randomized and treated: 14 placebo vs. 14 lidocaine. Patients were excluded after signing consent for: arriving to the pre-op area wearing a Lidocaine patch, changes in surgery times, lack of grafting/surgery needs, and medical contraindications (such as lidocaine with metoprolol).
