Major abdominal surgery continues is one of the most performed surgical procedures in the world, both electively and urgently. One of the main problems of this type of intervention is postoperative pain. it is shown that it increases health costs related to longer recovery times, longer hospital stay and related complications such as the increased risk of presenting chronic POP pain, which it has been estimated up to 20%, much higher if the surgery involves surgery in the gastrointestinal system.
The goal of analgesia in the postoperative setting is precisely to provide comfort to patients, minimize adverse effects and complications arising from the procedure.
The epidural analgesic technique (has been proposed as an analgesic management standard, since multiple studies have shown that it reduces opioid consumption, improves recovery and is a useful strategy for pain control. However, it is an invasive technique, with risk of complications such as hematomas and epidural abscesses, and it may be difficult to perform.
Currently it has been shown in multiple studies that the intravenous infusion of a local anesthetic, such as lidocaine, in this type of surgical scenarios can reduce the intensity of pain, opioid consumption, hospital stay and ileus with few adverse effects. In addition, these studies propose that, being a less invasive technique, it could be easier to implement and even be safer than the epidural technique.
The main hypothesis of this study is precisely that the infusion of lidocaine may be non-inferior to epidural analgesia in the analgesic management of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Pain, Postoperative Opioid Use | Procedure: Epidural Analgesia Drug: Lidocaine Infusion | Phase 4 |
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Estimated Enrollment : | 206 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Intervention Model Description: | All patients who accept participation in the study and meet all inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned at the time of anesthetic induction. The assignment to the group of epidural analgesia vs IV lidocaine will be 1: 1 randomly using permuted blocks generated by a computer operated by an external assistant to the investigation. The size of the blocks will be variable between 4, 6, and 8, and will be kept confidential to guarantee the concealment of the groups. |
| Masking: | Triple (Participant, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
| Masking Description: | The masking process will be done as follows: Masking of the data collection and analysis staff: The investigative staff who performs the data collection and who evaluates the outcomes after the anesthetic act, will not have information about the intervention received by the patient. Those who participate in the data analysis phase will also be blind to the intervention. For practical and ethical point of view, it is not possible to mask the doctors who perform the intervention and neither the patients. A "SHAM" or simulated intervention is not possible given that this would require an unnecessary invasive procedure that would not be used, which would make it ethically questionable. |

Active Comparator: Epidural Analgesia
The placement of the thoracic epidural catheter will be located depending on surgical incision as follows:
|
Procedure: Epidural Analgesia
The epidural infusion will be as follows:
This mixture will be prepared by a nurse outside the research group outside the operating room once indicated. The infusion will be scheduled at 7 cc / hour per continuous infusion set and will be connected to the epidural catheter after its placement. |

Posoperative Pain [ Time Frame: 24 hours after surgery ] Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain. The NRS for pain is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults.The pain NRS is a single 11-point numeric scale. An 11-point numeric scale (NRS 11) with 0 representing one pain extreme (e.g., "no pain") and 10 representing the other pain extreme (e.g., "pain as bad as you can imagine" and "worst pain imaginable").
