Intravenous lidocaine increases the depth of anaesthesia of propofol for skin incision – a randomised controlled trial

The anaesthetic potency of intravenous propofol is quantified by its Cp50 value, which is defined as the plasma concentration required to prevent movement response in 50% of patients to surgical stimuli. We hypothesised that, in addition to propofol anaesthesia, an intravenous bolus of lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg will decrease the Cp50 value of propofol during anaesthesia.
