Systemic Intraoperative Lidocaine Infusion for Postoperative Pain Management in Obese Patients: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study

The primary objective is to assess the feasibility and safety of administering continuous
intraoperative lidocaine infusions in adult patients undergoing laparoscopic Roux en Y
Gastric Bypass (RYGB). The secondary objective is to determine if lidocaine administration
versus placebo (dextrose administration) (initiated at the time of anesthesia induction and
continued until extubation) will reduce postoperative narcotic requirements.
