Penggunaan Lidokain Intravena untuk Adjuvan Obat Analgesik pada Operasi Bedah Saraf

Abstract

Pain is a subjective feeling or experience involving sensory, emotional, and unpleasant behavior caused by tissue damage. Postoperative management is considered essential because it will provide excellent results for patients and improve postoperative quality of life. Opioids are intravenous analgesic drugs that are most often used as perioperative pain therapy but have unpleasant side effects. Developments in using more effective analgesic drugs are needed, one of which is intravenous lidocaine which has fewer side effects than opioids. Several studies have shown that lidocaine as an intraoperative analgesic drug has minimal side effects and faster recovery. Other studies have also shown lidocaine as an analgesic in neurosurgery surgery to have a fairly good effect. Therefore, this literature will discuss lidocaine as an adjuvant therapy, especially in neurosurgery operations.
