Article Synopsis
- - The study examined if elderly patients (over 75) need a different dosage of intravenous lidocaine during general anesthesia, with research involving 76 patients across three age groups.
- - Lidocaine was given at 1.5 mg/kg for younger groups and 1.0 mg/kg for those 75 and older, with plasma samples collected to assess drug levels.
- - Results showed no major differences in how the drug was processed by different age groups, concluding that dose adjustments aren't needed for patients under 86 during anesthesia.
