Abstract

200 patients with primary liver cancer who are eligible for elective surgery in west China hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 are included. According to the random number, the patients are divided into lidocaine group and conventional anesthesia group. Pain in resting state and light activities are evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at postoperative 24, 48 and 72 hours. Postoperative opioid consumption and opioid-related side-effects (such as nausea, vomiting, respiratory depression, constipation, etc.) within 3 days, the satisfaction score of the analgesic effect on the postoperative third day, the time of functional gastrointestinal recovery, the length of hospital stay, and postoperative complications are calculated. And many indicators are measured, in terms of plasma lidocaine concentration at the end of surgery and postoperative 24 hours, changing in liver function indicators (preoperative and postoperative 24 hours ), and the levels of natural killer cells, cytokines Il-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-a(TNF-a), C-reactive protein and other indicators in peripheral blood at postoperative 24 hours. Compared with the existing conventional anesthesia and analgesia schemes, the efficacy and safety of preoperative intravenous lidocaine in improving preoperative pain management scheme for liver cancer patients are observed.

Description

200 patients with primary liver cancer who meet the standard are included. According to the random number, the patients are divided into lidocaine group and conventional analgesia group. Changes in liver and kidney function, blood routine, blood coagulation function and tumor marker alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) are collected before surgery. Preoperative CT reports on liver mass size, location, relationship with surrounding tissues, hepatitis related virus titer and preoperative medication are recorded.

General anesthesia induction in the conventional group: midazolam 2mg, propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg, sufentanil 0.2-0.3ug/kg, cisatracurium 0.2mg/kg, 50mg flurbiprofen injection or 40mg parecoxib sodium injection(exclude use contraindications). During the operation, propofol, desflurane or sevoflurane are maintained. Intraoperative analgesia: nitrous oxide, compound remifentanil 0.1-0.2ug/kg.min, remifentanil 50-150ug or sufentanil 0.1ug/kg for the necessary time. At the end of the operation: the incision is locally infiltrated with 0.5% ropivacaine (20ml) and dexmedetomidine (1ug/kg). If the operation time is longer than 5 hours, the patient should be re-injected with 40mg parecoxib sodium injection, and connect with the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) that drug formula is sufentanil 2ug/kg, dexmedetomidine 200ug and granisetron 12mg until postoperation 3 days. In the lidocaine group, general anesthesia is induced by slow intravenous lidocaine at 1.5mg/kg, followed by continuous injection of lidocaine at 2mg/kg.h with micropump and other anesthesia induction is maintained as the conventional group. At the end of the operation, the PCIA with lidocaine is used with a dose of 30mg/kg(no more than 2000mg at most), and the other formula is the same as that of the conventional group. In patients with contraindications to NSAIDs drug use, dezocine 5mg or hydromorphone 2mg should be given intravenously 30 minutes before the end of surgery. The plasma concentration of lidocaine is measured immediately postoperation and within the postoperative first 24 hours. Natural killer cells, cytokines l-6, TNF-a and C-reactive protein in peripheral blood at postoperative 24h. Changes of liver and kidney function indexes at postoperative 24 hours .

Visual analogue scale (VAS) is used to evaluate pain at resting state and light activities at postoperative 24, 48, 72 hours. The recovery time of postoperative gastrointestinal function is calculated: the first time of exhaust and defecation; postoperative hospital stay; complications, such as surgical site infection, respiratory tract infection, thrombosis, incision debridement, postoperative bleeding, serious cardiovascular complications, death, etc. The incidence of lidocaine toxicity within postoperative 72 hours, including neurological manifestations such as vertigo, tinnitus, and convulsions, cardiac manifestations such as bradycardia, and new severe atrioventricular block. Follow-up after discharge: changes in tumor markers and barrier-free survival at 1 month after surgery; chronic pain at postoperative 3 months and 6 months; tumor markers at postoperative 6 months, 1 year, 3 years and 5 years, relapse-free, barrier-free, and overall survival rates based on enhanced CT, MRI, or ultrasound diagnosis.

Outcome

Primary Outcome Measures

1. Pain at resting state and activity [the first 24 hours postoperatively]

Assessment using visual analogue scale(VAS): this method is sensitive and comparable. The specific method is: draw a 10cm horizontal line on the paper, one end of the horizontal line is 0, indicating painless; a score of 10 at the other end indicates severe pain; the middle part represents different levels of pain. 1-3 is mild pain; 4-6 is moderate pain(mild sleep disturbance); 7-9 is severe pain(inability to fall asleep or waking from sleep).

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. opioid consumption [Within 3 days after surgery]

Record the total opioid consumption within 3 days after surgery and convert it to morphine: 10ug sufentanil and 100ug remifentanil have analgesic effects equivalent to 10mg morphine, respectively.

2. Incidence of adverse reactions to opioids after operation [Within 3 days after surgery]

Nausea, vomiting, constipation, and breathing rates below 8 cycles per minute were defined as opioid-related adverse events.

3. Pain at resting state and activity [48 hours, 72 hours postoperatively]

Assessment using visual analogue scale(VAS): this method is sensitive and comparable. The specific method is: draw a 10cm horizontal line on the paper, one end of the horizontal line is 0, indicating painless; a score of 10 at the other end indicates severe pain; the middle part represents different levels of pain. 1-3 is mild pain; 4-6 is moderate pain(mild sleep disturbance); 7-9 is severe pain(inability to fall asleep or waking from sleep).

4. Satisfaction degree of analgesic effect [72 hours postoperatively]

The satisfaction score is defined as the pain score according to Numerical Rating Scale(NRS): 0=very satisfied; 1-3=basic satisfaction; 4-6=neutral; 7-9=discontent; 10=very dissatisfied.

5. the time of functional gastrointestinal recovery [Within 3 days after surgery]

record first time of exhaust and defecation

6. the length of hospital stay [through study completion, an average of 1 year]

total days from admission to discharge

7. Incidence of complications [Within 1 month after surgery]

Complications are diagnosed by specialists include surgical site infection, respiratory tract infection, thrombosis, incision debridement, postoperative bleeding, serious cardiovascular complications, and death.

8. The Incidence of lidocaine adverse reactions [Within 3 days after surgery]

Diagnosed by a specialist, dizziness, tinnitus, convulsions, bradycardia, new severe atrioventricular block are defined as adverse reactions to lidocaine.

9. The incidence of chronic pain [1 month, 3 months postoperatively]

Pain scoring is performed using the Digital Evaluation Scale (NRS), with 11 digits ranging from 0 to 10 indicating the degree of pain, 0 indicating no pain, and 10 indicating severe pain. Subjects choose a number to indicate the degree of pain based on their personal pain experience.

10. Incidence of accessible survival [1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years postoperatively]

Patient self-assessment is carried out by using the World Health Organization(WHO) Disability Scale, with a minimum score of 12 points and a maximum score of 60 points. The lower the score, the higher the quality of life.
