rachi morphine anesthesia: Morphine spinal anesthesia is administered before general anesthesia, just after the patient has been admitted to the operating room.

laparotomy: major digestive or abdominal surgery by laparotomy

Lidocaine IV: KABI 20 mg/mL solution for injection (ready-to-use ampoule, no dilution). Each ml of solution contains 20 mg lidocaine hydrochloride (monohydrate form), corresponding to 16.22 mg lidocaine.

Placebo: Sodium chloride (NaCl) FRESENIUS 0.9% solution for infusion. Each ml contains 9 mg sodium chloride.

MORPHINE: The auxiliary drug on which both experimental strategies are based is MORPHINE: Morphine hydrochloride AGUETTANT 0.1 mg/mL Solution for injection (ready-to-use ampoule) for rachi anesthesia.

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the superiority of IV lidocaine combined with morphine spinal anesthesia versus placebo combined with morphine spinal anesthesia, in reducing postoperative morphine consumption at 48 hours, in patients undergoing major digestive or abdominal surgery by laparotomy.
