Effect of adjunctive lidocaine-based scalp block and laryngotracheal local anesthesia vs general anesthesia only on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in patients with cerebral aneurysm: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To compare the effect of adjunctive lidocaine-based scalp block and laryngotracheal local anesthesia vs general anesthesia only on pro-inflammatory cytokine concentrations in patients with non-ruptured brain aneurysms undergoing elective open surgery.

Methods

This parallel, randomized, controlled, open-label trial was conducted at Clinical Hospital Center Zagreb between March 2019 and March 2020. At the beginning of anesthesia, lidocaine group received 40 mg of 2% lidocaine for laryngotracheal topical anesthesia and 4 mg/kg for the scalp block. Control group underwent general anesthesia only. Plasma concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β were measured before anesthesia (S0); at the incision (S1); at the end of surgery (S2); 24 hours postoperatively (S3). Cerebrospinal
