BACKGROUND: Few researches have manifested that intravenous (IV) lidocaine or dexmedetomidine decreased the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The investigators investigated whether IV lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine infusion could better reduce the incidence of PONV after laparoscopic hysterectomy.
METHODS: Two hundred and forty women with elective laparoscopic hysterectomy were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (group C, n=60) received an equal volume of saline, the lidocaine group (group L, n=60) received IV lidocaine (bolus infusion of 1.5 mg/kg over 10 min, 1.5 mg/kg/h continuous infusion), the dexmedetomidine group (group D, n=60) received dexmedetomidine administration (bolus infusion of 0.5 µg/kg over 10 min, 0.4 µg/kg/h continuous infusion), the lidocaine plus dexmedetomidine group (group LD, n=60) received combination of lidocaine (bolus infusion of 1.5 mg/kg over 10 min, 1.5 mg/kg/h continuous infusion) and dexmedetomidine administration (bolus infusion of 0.5 µg/kg over 10 min, 0.4 µg/kg/h continuous infusion). Primary outcome was the incidence of the first 48 h nausea, vomiting and PONV after surgery. The secondary outcomes included perioperative propofol and remifentanil consumption, postoperative fentanyl requirement, Ramsay sedation score, and bradycardia during post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) stay.
