Why the study?
Intravenous lidocaine can mitigate visceral pain and reduce propofol requirements during surgery, but its effects during pediatric colonoscopy required investigation.
Does intravenous lidocaine reduce propofol and sufentanil requirements and oxygen desaturation in children aged 3 to 10 years undergoing colonoscopy?
Does intravenous lidocaine reduce propofol and sufentanil requirements and oxygen desaturation in children aged 3 to 10 years undergoing colonoscopy?
Continuous infusion of lidocaine during pediatric colonoscopy significantly reduces the required doses of propofol and sufentanil, shortens recovery time, and decreases the risk of hypoxemia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
IV lidocaine may lower propofol needs and desaturations during pediatric colonoscopy; leaves open larger trials before practice change.
