Please answer the following questions based on your current knowledge and experience.
1. What mechanism contributes to the analgesic effects of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusions?
Attenuation of central sensitization
Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors
Activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
Agonism of mu-opioid receptors
2. Untreated local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) may progress to which life-threatening complication?
Bronchospasm
Ventricular dysrhythmias
Acute kidney injury
Hyperthermia
3. A postoperative benefit of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion in colorectal surgery is:
shorter hospital length of stay.
accelerated gastrointestinal recovery.
reduced opioid consumption.
reduced surgical site infection.
4. Which statement BEST describes the effect of perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion on gastrointestinal (GI) recovery following colorectal surgery? Intravenous lidocaine infusions:
consistently produces clinically meaningful improvements in GI recovery.
reduces surgical site infections and improves bowel function.
may provide modest analgesic benefits, but contemporary evidence does not support routine use solely to accelerate GI recovery.
improves GI recovery only in robotic colorectal surgery.
5. Which patient is MOST likely to benefit from perioperative intravenous lidocaine infusion?
Opioid-naïve patient undergoing a brief outpatient procedure
Patient with chronic opioid use undergoing colorectal surgery
Patient with a history of amide local anesthetic allergy
Patient undergoing a diagnostic colonoscopy
