Effect of Lidocaine and Adrenaline Soaked Gauze Versus Normal Saline Soaked at Skin Graft Donor Site of Thigh: A Randomized Control Trial
Effect of Lidocaine and Adrenaline Soaked Gauze Versus Normal Saline Soaked at Skin Graft Donor Site of Thigh: A Randomized Control Trial
Investigator is studying the effects of Lidocaine and Adrenaline Soaked Gauze vs Normal Saline Soaked Gauze at Skin Graft Donor Site of Thigh.
Haemostatic effect, epithelization and post operative pain will be assessed on follow up.
After admission participants will be randomized either to be in Group A or Group B. Closed envelop technique will be used for random assignment of the patients.
Group A will be receiving 2% lidocaine and 1:100,000 adrenaline soaked gauze while group B will be given only normal saline soaked gauze at donor-site for ten minutes.
The primary end point of study is intraoperative bleeding. The secondary end points of study include no. of dressings required in first 24 hours after surgery, donor site epithelization at 14th post-operative day, post-operative pain in first 24 hours after surgery along with systemic analgesia requirement after surgery.
Inclusion Criteria:
