Occurrence of side effects

Detailed description: Optimal postoperative pain management facilitates rehabilitation immediately after abdominal surgery. Multiple studies have demonstrated that successful postoperative analgesia also reduces perioperative complications and improves patient comfort, thereby providing many benefits for the patient. In acute postoperative pain management intravenous lidocaine and/or ketamine have been advocated because of their morphine-sparing effect.
