Lumbar surgery is often associated with significant postoperative pain, high opioid consumption, and delayed bowel function recovery. This study aimed to assess whether intravenous lidocaine infusion could enhance bowel function recovery in patients undergoing lumbar surgery. This multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blinded study was conducted across three tertiary university hospitals. A total of 96 patients, aged 60-80 years, with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification of I-III, scheduled for lumbar spinal surgery, were randomly assigned to either the lidocaine group (L group) or the control group (C group) in a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the L group received perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion and, postoperatively, lidocaine as a component of the multimodal patient-controlled analgesia regimen, whereas patients in the C group received normal saline in place of lidocaine under the same regimen. The primary outcome was the time to first evacuation. Secondary outcomes included the time to first defecation, intraoperative opioid consumption, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), numerical rating scale (NRS) pain scores at rest and during movement, postoperative opioid consumption, and length of hospital stay. Patients in the L group had a significantly shorter evacuation time compared to the C group [(17 hours; 95% CI, 14-20 hours) vs (23 hours; 95% CI, 19-28 hours); P = 0.013)]. Intraoperative opioid consumption was significantly lower in the L group than in the C group, including sufentanil (18 [15, 20] µg vs. 25 [17, 30] µg, P < 0.001) and remifentanil (760 [450, 1040] µg vs. 1000 [760, 1440] µg, P = 0.002). Additionally, propofol usage was significantly lower in the L group compared to the C group (591.57 ± 206.39 mg vs. 692.96 ± 229.50 mg, P = 0.027). No significant differences were observed between the groups for other secondary outcomes. Intravenous lidocaine infusion in patients undergoing lumbar surgery accelerates postoperative bowel function recovery and reduces intraoperative opioid consumption.

Premixed Lidocaine With Fospropofol Disodium for Safety and Clinical Evaluation Regarding Paresthesia Upon Fospropofol Disodium Injection: A Preclinical Experimental Study and a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Fospropofol disodium (fospropofol), a water-soluble prodrug of propofol, reduces injection pain and anesthetic requirements but frequently causes paresthesia. Intravenous lidocaine has been shown to alleviate dexamethasone-induced paresthesia, yet its effect on fospropofol-related symptoms remains uncertain. We combined preclinical and clinical studies, first evaluating the safety and pharmacological changes of fospropofol premixed with lidocaine through in vitro and in vivo experiments and then conducting a randomized controlled trial in adult surgical patients to evaluate whether the lidocaine premixing strategy affects the occurrence of fospropofol-induced paresthesia. In the preclinical study, the findings indicated that mixture of fospropofol and lidocaine remained physicochemically stable, with faster onset and longer sedation duration compared with fospropofol alone, without additional adverse effects. In the clinical trial, 74 patients received fospropofol dissolved in either 20 mL of normal saline or 0.75% lidocaine and 72 were included in the primary outcome analysis of paresthesia. This adverse reaction occurred in 83.3% of patients in both groups, mainly within 40-60 s after administration. No group differences were observed in plasma inflammatory markers and phosphate; however, phosphate levels increased postadministration in both groups. This study provides important guidance for clinical practice, showing that premixing lidocaine does not effectively alleviate paresthesia induced by fospropofol.
