Effect of intravenous lidocaine on catheter‑related bladder discomfort, postoperative pain and opioid requirement in complex fusion lumbar spinal surgery: a randomized, double blind, controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) and pain commonly arises postoperatively in patients who undergo intra-operative urinary catheterization. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine to prevent CRBD and postoperative pain in complex lumbar spinal surgery.

Methods

Eighty male patients, aged 20-79 years, scheduled for elective fusion spine surgery at least two levels were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg followed by 2 mg/kg/h) (Group L) or a parallel volume of normal saline (Group C). The primary outcome was incidence of moderate to severe CRBD in a postanesthetic care unit (PACU) between the two groups. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, 24-hour post operative opioid requirement
