IV drip could shorten hospital stays and reduce opioid need after surgery

NCT ID NCT07224711

Summary

This study is testing if adding a continuous lidocaine (a common numbing medicine) drip into a patient's IV during and after major surgery helps them recover faster. Researchers want to see if it shortens the hospital stay, reduces the need for strong opioid painkillers, and improves other recovery outcomes like returning bowel function. The study will compare the lidocaine drip to a placebo (saltwater) drip in about 2,290 adults having planned surgeries like colorectal, hernia, or spine procedures.
