XYLOCAINE SUMMARY
Xylocaine (lidocaine HCl Injection, USP) is a sterile nonpyrogenic solution of an antiarrhythmic agent administered intravenously by direct injection.
Xylocaine Injection is composed of an aqueous solution of lidocaine hydrochloride.
Xylocaine administered intravenously is specifically indicated in the acute management of ventricular arrhythmias such as those occurring in relation to acute myocardial infarction, or during cardiac manipulation, such as cardiac surgery.

Transversus abdominis plane block versus perioperative intravenous lidocaine
versus patient-controlled intravenous morphine for postoperative pain control
after laparoscopic colorectal surgery: study protocol for a prospective,
randomized, double-blind controlled clinical trial. [2014]
BACKGROUND: Despite the laparoscopic approach becoming the standard in colorectal
surgery, postoperative pain management for minimally invasive surgery is still
mainly based on strategies that have been established for open surgical
procedures... DISCUSSION: Recognizing the importance of a multimodal approach for perioperative
pain management, we aim to investigate whether a transversus abdominis plane
block delivers superior pain control in comparison to perioperative intravenous
lidocaine and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine alone.

Clinical Trials Related to Xylocaine (Lidocaine)
Tumescent Lidocaine Maximum Safe mg/kg Dosage [Enrolling by invitation]
This pharmacokinetic clinical trial is a dose ranging study of lidocaine in tumescent local
anesthesia. The goal is to understand the absorption pharmacokinetic of tumescent lidocaine
and to determine an objective (statistical) estimate of the maximum safe mg/kg dosage of
lidocaine in tumescent local anesthesia without liposuction.
Lidocaine Infusion as a Treatment for Cocaine Relapse and Craving [Recruiting]
We propose that the systemic administration of lidocaine following the induction of
cue-induced craving, relative to saline plus cue-induced craving or lidocaine without
cue-induced craving, will block the reconsolidation of cue memories. This will lead to a
reduction in cue-induced craving upon repeated testing as well as subsequent cocaine use and
basal craving.
A Study to Characterize the Phenotype in Patients With Morton's Neuroma and to Explore the Effect of Local Administration of Xylocaine (Lidocaine) [Completed]
To characterize the phenotype in patients with Morton's neuroma and to explore the effect of
local administration of Xylocaine (lidocaine)
The Effect of Pre-incisional Local Xylocaine Injection on Post Operative Pain and Scar Formation After Cesarean Section [Recruiting]
This study will examine whether pre-incision infiltration of the skin cut site can attenuate
post operative pain after a cesarean section. One hundred and twenty women will be allocated
to get 20 ml of either placebo or 1% xylocaine at the site of skin incision. We will also
examine possible effect of this infiltration of parameters of wound heeling and scar
formation, six weeks post partum.
Lidocaine: Effect of Lidocaine in Chronic Cough [Completed]
People cough in order to clear their airways. Most coughs are caused by viruses and settle
down by themselves, but some people develop persistent coughing which can be anywhere from 8
weeks to several years. This is called chronic cough. People with chronic cough find the
symptom distressing and it can have a major impact on their quality of life. Patients with
chronic cough often report a sensation at the back of their throat which makes them feel an
urge to cough. There is some evidence that Lidocaine (an anaesthetic used during medical
procedures) can suppress a person's cough when given to patients via a nebuliser (a machine
that turns liquid into a fine mist).
It is currently unknown whether using a local anaesthetic, such as Lidocaine, in the form of
a throat spray would successfully suppress a person's cough. A throat spray would be an
easier treatment option in chronic cough patients. Thus, the investigators research aims to
compare cough rates, severity and urge to cough scores between Lidocaine throat spray and
nebulised Lidocaine.
