Lidocaine for lung protection in infant heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether giving a medicine called lidocaine during heart surgery can help protect babies' lungs. It is for infants under 1 year old who need surgery to fix a heart defect with a heart-lung machine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby's overall health is good (ASA class I to III).
- Your baby is not allergic to lidocaine.
- Your baby does not have any other major health problems (like genetic issues, liver or kidney problems, or severe lung disease).

This trial tests if giving lidocaine during lung cancer surgery can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back. It is for people having minimally invasive lung cancer surgery.
This trial tests whether giving lidocaine during surgery can reduce pain and speed up recovery in children under 7 having chest surgery with a camera. If it works, it could mean less pain and a faster return to normal after the operation.
This trial tests if giving lidocaine (a numbing medicine) through an IV during esophageal surgery can lower the chance of lung problems after the operation. It may help you recover more smoothly.
This study tests if adding a lidocaine infusion during surgery can help patients recover faster and with less pain after major non-cardiac surgeries like colorectal, urology, or hernia repair. It is for adults who are healthy enough for surgery but may have some health conditions.
This trial tests whether a lidocaine infusion during spine surgery affects the electrical signals used to monitor nerves. It may help doctors adjust monitoring for safer surgery.
