Indwelling urinary catheter assembled with lidocaine-loaded polymeric strand for local sustained alleviation of bladder discomfort.

ABSTRACT: Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) are used in clinical settings to assist detrusor contraction in hospitalized patients. However, an inserted IUC often causes catheter-related bladder discomfort. To resolve this, we propose an IUC coupled with local, sustained release of an anesthetic drug, lidocaine. For this, a thin strand composed of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) and lidocaine was separately prepared as a drug delivery carrier, which was then wound around the surface of the IUC to produce the drug-delivery IUC. Our results revealed that the drug-delivery IUC could exert the pain-relief effects for up to 7 days when placed in the bladder of living rats. Cystometrogram tests indicated that the drug-delivery IUC could significantly relieve bladder discomfort compared with the IUC without lidocaine. Furthermore, the expression of pain-related inflammatory markers, such as nerve growth factor, cyclooxygenase-2, and interleukin-6 in the biopsied bladder tissues was significantly lower when the drug-delivery IUC was used. Therefore, we conclude that an IUC simply assembled with a drug-loaded polymer strand can continuously release lidocaine to allow for the relief of bladder discomfort during the period of IUC insertion.

Project description:BackgroundCatheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) and pain commonly arises postoperatively in patients who undergo intra-operative urinary catheterization. The study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of intravenous lidocaine to prevent CRBD and postoperative pain in complex lumbar spinal surgery.MethodsEighty male patients, aged 20-79 years, scheduled for elective fusion spine surgery at least two levels were randomly assigned to receive either intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg followed by 2 mg/kg/h) (Group L) or a parallel volume of normal saline (Group C). The primary outcome was incidence of moderate to severe CRBD in a postanesthetic care unit (PACU) between the two groups. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, 24-hour post operative opioid requirement, mild and moderate to severe CRBD at 1, 2, 6 and 24 h postoperatively, patient satisfaction on Global Perceived Effect Scale (GPES), and the adverse effects of lidocaine and surgical complications.ResultsGroup L showed a significantly lower incidence of moderate-to-severe CRBD compared to Group C in the PACU (P = 0.002) and at 1 h postoperatively (P = 0.039). Additionally, Group L experienced a significantly lower average pain scores compared to Group C at all time points (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.001, P < 0.001 and P < 0.001 at 0, 1, 2, 6 and 24 h, respectively) and demonstrated a significantly reduced postoperative morphine requirement across all time intervals (P < 0.05). Group L also reported significantly higher satisfaction on GPES compared to group C (P < 0.001). No adverse outcome was observed in either group.ConclusionIntravenous lidocaine administration significantly reduced the incidence of moderate-to-severe CRBD at PACU and at 1 h postoperatively. Additionally, its use in complex spine surgery led to reductions in postoperative pain, opioid requirement, and improved patient satisfaction, without any observed side effects.
