Arm 2
Experimental
Placebo Comparator
Lidocaine Hydrochloride
Saline Solution for Injection
The IV bolus and infusions of lidocaine to those patients assigned to the lidocaine group will be started in the operating room and will continue until 24 h later. The group receiving the lidocaine infusion will first be administered a 1.0 - 1.5 mg/kg loading infusion over 5 minutes followed by a 1.0 - 1.5 mg/kg/h infusion for 24 h
The group receiving the saline infusion will be administered an equivalent volume of saline infused over 5 min followed by a saline infusion at the same flow rate as that used in the lidocaine group for 24 h (1.0 - 1.5 mg/kg/hr)
