Summary
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.
