Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy

Evaluate the effectiveness of combining intravenous lidocaine and ropivacaine infiltration of laparoscopic trocar sites on postoperative recovery as assessed using the QOR-15 twenty-four hours after colorectal surgery.

Secondary objectives 12

  1. Assess the safety of this combination in terms of concentration, accumulation, and tolerance
  2. Assess postoperative recovery using the QOR-15 at patient discharge
  3. Assess postoperative pain at rest and during mobilization during the first 48 hours
  4. Assess the amount of morphine received intraoperatively
  5. Assess analgesic consumption, particularly the amount of opioids received in the 48 hours following surgery
  6. Assess the occurrence of dysesthesia (peri-scar hyperalgesia, allodynia, numbness) at the surgical site at 48 hours
  7. Assess the occurrence of persistent nociceptive and neuropathic pain at the surgical site at 3 months
  8. Assess the time before bowel function resumes and food tolerance
  9. Assess surgical complications using the Clavien Dindo score during the post-operative consultation (carried out 1 month after surgery)
  10. Assess whether the patient's general condition allows for postoperative chemotherapy if indicated by the oncology multidisciplinary team (conducted after pathological analysis of the surgical specimen)
  11. Assess length of stay.
  12. Assess patient satisfaction (EVAN score) upon discharge

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Postoperative recovery assessed using the QOR-15 scale twenty-four hours after surgery.

Secondary endpoints 13

  1. Assessment of plasma concentrations of lidocaine (toxic threshold >5 µg/mL) and ropivacaine (toxic threshold >2.2 µg/mL)
  2. Signs of local anesthetic toxicity sought in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) for up to two hours after the end of the procedure: o Cardiological (conduction disorders, atrioventricular conduction disorders, rhythm disorders, especially ventricular: ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or even cardiac arrest in asystole) o Neurological (perioral tingling, headaches, visual or auditory distortions, tremors in the extremities, loss of consciousness, coma, convulsions)
  3. Postoperative pain assessed using the numerical rating scale (NRS) at H2 at rest, H24 at rest and during mobilization, H48 at rest and during mobilization
  4. Maximum pain assessed using the NRS during the first 48 hours
  5. Postoperative analgesic consumption during the first 48 hours
  6. Consumption of morphine derivatives expressed in oral morphine equivalent (mg) per operation and 48 hours post-operatively
  7. Occurrence of dysesthesia (peri-scar hyperalgesia, allodynia, numbness) at the surgical site at 48 hours
  8. Neuropathic pain, defined as a DN4 score > 4/10 at 48 hours and 3 months
  9. The time before resumption of transit (resumption of gas and then bowel movements) and food tolerance will be assessed through daily interviews with the physician.
  10. Medical and surgical complications will be assessed using the Clavien Dindo score one month after surgery.
  11. Possibility of chemotherapy within two months post-op if indicated by the oncology multidisciplinary team meeting
  12. Length of stay from admission to discharge, expressed in days
  13. Patient satisfaction, assessed using the EVANS score upon discharge
