Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Lignocaine group (Group L)   Patients in the Lignocaine group (Group L) will receive an IV bolus of lignocaine preservative-free 1.5 mg/kg just before induction followed by 2mg/kg/hour iv lignocaine infusion after intubation until the closure of the incision. The attending clinician will give fentanyl during the intraoperative time (during skull pin insertion T1, during incision T2, and during any time in the intraoperative period) if there is tachycardia i.e. increase in heart rate (HR) 20% above baseline for 1 minute and there is hypertension i.e. increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) 20% above baseline for 1 minute it will be treated by giving injection fentanyl citrate in the bolus of 0.5 mcg/kg after ruling out other potential causes (haemorrhage, arrhythmia, Cushing’s triad-hypertension, bradycardia, irregular respiration). 
Comparator Agent  Placebo group (Group S)   Patients in the Placebo group (Group S) will receive an IV bolus of lignocaine preservative-free 1.5 mg/kg just before induction followed by the same amount, volume, and rate of 0.9% normal saline as a placebo. The attending clinician will give fentanyl during the intraoperative time (during skull pin insertion T1, during incision T2, and during any time in the intraoperative period) if there is tachycardia i.e. increase in heart rate (HR) 20% above baseline for 1 minute and there is hypertension i.e. increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) 20% above baseline for 1 minute it will be treated by giving injection fentanyl citrate in the bolus of 0.5 mcg/kg after ruling out other potential causes (haemorrhage, arrhythmia, Cushing’s triad-hypertension, bradycardia, irregular respiration).

Brief Summary  

In this double-blind randomized controlled trial, we will enroll approximately 15 adult

patients in each group scheduled for elective supratentorial tumour surgery. Participants will

be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving intravenous lignocaine infusion

(maintenance infusion of 2 mg/kg/hour) and the other receiving a placebo (normal saline

infusion). The primary outcome will measure cumulative intraoperative fentanyl

consumption, while secondary outcomes will assess postoperative opioid-related side effects

and postoperative rescue analgesia requirements.

The hypothesis is that intravenous lignocaine infusion will result in lower cumulative

intraoperative fentanyl use, fewer fentanyl-related side effects, and reduced requirements for 

analgesia during the perioperative period. The primary objective of the study is to compare

cumulative intraoperative fentanyl consumption in patients undergoing supratentorial tumour

surgery under general anaesthesia with intravenous lignocaine infusion versus placebo. The

secondary objectives are to compare opioid-related side effects and the need for rescue

analgesia during the postoperative period between the two groups.
