Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous lidocaine infusion during a video-assisted chest surgery is effective in reducing the pain involved after the surgery. The hypothesis is that continuous lidocaine infusion during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) reduces morphine consumption and postoperative pain.
