Summary
This prospective randomized study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine
injection on the relief of pain in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.
A total 56 patients will be randomized into one of two groups(group C or group I) based on
Excel number generation.
Patients in group C will receive normal saline intravenous injection, and patients in group I
will receive an intravenous bolus injection of 1.5mg/kg lidocaine followed by a continuous
lidocaine infusion of 2mg/kg/hr.
Visual analogue scale pain scores, fentanyl consumption, the frequency at which patients
pushed the button(FPB) of a patient-controlled analgesia system, and presence or absence of
nausea and vomiting will be recorded at 2,4,8,12,24,48 hours postoperatively.
