Clinical Trial Summary

Local anesthetics (LA) are increasingly used for postoperative pain management. Speicifically, several studies have found benefit of LA injected intra-abdominally following abdominal hysterectomy. However, it remains unclear whether the pain relief seen is due to local anesthetic mechanisms within the abdominal cavity or through systemic absorption. The aim of this study is to assess whether lidocaine administered intravenously has similar analgesic efficacy as the same dose administered intra-abdominally in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. All patients would have rescue analgesia using the patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump with morphine in order to achieve adequate pain management during 24 h.


Description:

Abdominal hysterectomy with or without salipingo-oophorectomy is associated with moderate-severe postoperative pain. Poor pain control in the postoperative period can lead to increased postoperative morbidities and poor quality of life. Furthermore, an emerging clinical literature suggests that acute pain may rapidly evolve into chronic pain if poorly treated. A meta-analysis of the literature found that > 30% patients had chronic pain one year after abdominal hysterectomy (5). Therefore, efficient postoperative pain management is imperative for the patient and is one of the new pain management standards recommended recently.

Local anesthetics (LA) have been infiltrated subcutaneously, infused intra-abdominally, as well as injected into the peritoneal cavity as a single dose at the end of the operation following abdominal hysterectomy with variable effects. When injected as a single dose, analgesia is limited to approximately 2-4 hours due to the short duration of action of local anesthetics. In one recent study, the authors used a catheter inserted intra-abdominally and local anesthetic or placebo infusion into the abdominal cavity for 24 h postoperatively and found a reduction in postoperative analgesic requirements by 40% during 4-24 h. In another study, the investigators found that LA injected intermittently intra-abdominally resulted in better pain relief compared to intra-abdominal infusions.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Morphine consumption Total rescue morphine consumption during 0 - 24 h would be the primary endpoint 0 - 24 h postoperatively No
Secondary Postoperative pain Postoperative pain measured on the numeric rating scale (0 - 10) would be measured at 4 h 4 h postoperatively No
Secondary Plasma concentration of lidocaine The plasma concentration of LA lidocaine would be analysed at 24 h in order to assess whether the LA absorption from the abdomen is similar to that administered intravenously. 24 h Yes
Secondary Length of Hospital stay The time to discharge home would be assessed using standardized criteria for home discharge. 1-5 days No
