Summary
This study will evaluate the effect of intraoperative lidocaine infusion on postoperative
orientation and concentration in elderly patients having general anesthesia for orthopedic
surgeries requiring a minimum 2 days hospitalization.
This study will also aim to determine whether intraoperative lidocaine infusion during
general anesthesia improves recovery and patient outcome, as well as to determine whether
lidocaine infusion decreases postoperative opioid (pain medication) usage.
