Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Lignocaine is a local anaesthetic that is widely used in all medical and surgical fields. Many clinical studies have shown that intravenous (IV) lignocaine given in the perioperative period was safe, reduced airway complications, obtunds cough reflex, reduce sore throat, pain, opioid consumption, nausea, length of hospital stay. Multiple animal studies have shown that IV lignocaine was able to lower anaesthetic gas requirements. Desflurane is an anaesthetic gas that has a rapid onset and offset of action. This study aims to evaluate the effect of IV lignocaine infusion on desflurane requirements. Hypothesis of the study is that IV lignocaine infusion reduces desflurane requirements.

- Group Lignocaine
- description
- Group Lignocaine will receive an IV bolus dose of 1.5 mg/kg of 2% lignocaine HCL diluted up to 10 ml with normal saline in a 10 ml syringe which will be delivered via a syringe pump over a period of 3 min. This is then followed by an IV infusion at the rate of 1 mg/kg/h of 2% lignocaine HCL in a 20 ml syringe which will be administered by another syringe pump.
