Intravenous lidocaine
Monitored intravenous lidocaine infusion for patients with CP and pancreatic cancer is already current practice in the participating centers. Patients undergo treatment in the recovery unit of the anesthesiology department, for early detection of possible, although highly unlikely adverse events such as anaphylactic reactions, arrhythmias or hypotension. At the recovery unit continuous monitoring is possible and treatment of the above mentioned side effects can be easily provided. Continuous monitoring includes a 3-lead ECG, saturation, and blood pressure control every 15 minutes.
