The purpose of this study was to define the optimum dose of lignocaine required to reduce pain on injection of propofol. We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial on 310 patients undergoing anaesthesia. Patients were allocated to four groups according to the lignocaine dosage: group A (control), no lignocaine; group B, lignocaine 0.1 mg kg-1; group C, lignocaine 0.2 mg kg-1; group D, lignocaine 0.4 mg kg-1. Our results showed that a dose of lignocaine 0.1 mg kg-1 significantly reduced the incidence of pain and that there was no improvement when the dose was increased.

Dosing optimisation of intravenous lidocaine in patients with class 1-3 obesity by population pharmacokinetic analysis.
Anaesthesia
January 2025
Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine, The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing an optimized lidocaine dosing regimen for obese patients during surgery, highlighting the need for more effective pain management.
- Researchers gathered data from 30 patients, measuring plasma levels of lidocaine and its metabolites to create a pharmacokinetic model.
- The findings suggested that current dosing was often inadequate, but an adjusted regimen could improve the likelihood of reaching therapeutic drug concentrations.
The Effect of Lidocaine Splash Block Followed by Suspensory Ligament Massage in Female Dogs Undergoing Ovariohysterectomy: A Prospective Study.

The administration of lidocaine as part of multimodal analgesia in dogs undergoing ovariohysterectomies demonstrates variable analgesic efficacy. The aim of this prospective, double-blinded clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lidocaine 2% irrigation on the ovarian suspensory ligament, followed by localised massage, in achieving sufficient intraoperative analgesia. Thirty-eight female dogs were randomly divided to two groups and received either a splash block of 0.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of intravenous lidocaine on sensory block duration during total knee replacement (TKR) surgery under spinal anesthesia.
- It involved 28 patients divided into two groups: one receiving lidocaine and the other a control, comparing outcomes like sensory block duration, motor block, and pain scores post-surgery.
- Results showed that the lidocaine group had a significantly longer sensory block, reduced need for postoperative pain relief, and lower pain scores compared to the control group, indicating its effectiveness as an adjunct analgesic.
Lidocaine and risk of postoperative vomiting in children undergoing tonsillectomy: a randomised clinical trial.

Institute of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, China Three Gorges University and Yichang Central People's Hospital, Yichang, 443000, Hubei Province, China.
The dose-response of intravenous lidocaine in preventing postoperative vomiting (POV) in children remains unclear. This study investigated whether intravenous lidocaine dose-dependently decreased POV risk within 24 h postoperatively in children undergoing tonsillectomy (with or without adenoidectomy) without severe complications. Patients aged 3-12 years (American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I-II) scheduled for elective tonsillectomy (with or without adenoidectomy) were enroled from December 2021 to March 2022.

This prospective anatomical study aimed to establish an ultrasound-guided technique to the quadratus lumborum (QL) plane in sheep cadavers. Thirteen cadavers, weighing less than 117 kg, were included. In phase 1, one cadaver underwent dissection and two cadavers underwent 3D computed tomographic reconstruction for anatomical evaluation of the thoracolumbar region.
