Video Summary
This presentation discusses the off-label use of lidocaine for pain management, particularly in the ICU setting. Lidocaine is an antiarrhythmic and local anesthetic that can also provide analgesic effects. However, its efficacy for pain management is still inconclusive, with mixed findings from various studies. The main challenge lies in the variation in patient population, dosing, and duration of therapy. Lidocaine is generally safe to use, but caution is necessary due to its narrow therapeutic index and potential for adverse effects. Monitoring and appropriate dosing are crucial to minimize risks. Overall, lidocaine infusion may be a beneficial adjunct therapy for select patients.
