Intravenous Lidocaine

This prospective randomized controlled multicenter study will be conducted to evaluate the effects of pre-emptive IV lidocaine dose on the incidence and severity of intraoperative headache that may occur after the extra-abdominal manual uterine fundal pressure in patients undergoing cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion, combined with port-site ropivacaine infiltration, improves postoperative recovery after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Participants will be assigned 1:1 to receive either intravenous lidocaine during surgery plus ropivacaine infiltration at surgical closure, or ropivacaine infiltration alone. The primary endpoint is postoperative quality of recovery measured by the QoR-15 questionnaire. Secondary endpoints include postoperative pain and opioid consumption, as well as plasma lidocaine and ropivacaine concentrations to assess systemic exposure and safety.
