To determine safe concentration level of lidocaine infusion in children.
This study will address the working hypothesis that intravenous lidocaine may be administered as a bolus followed by an infusion with reliable and safe blood levels of lidocaine. Serial blood draws will be obtained to determine safety of lidocaine doses used in this study by measuring blood levels of lidocaine and its metabolites.

IV lidocaine bolus of 1.5mg/kg over 10 minutes followed by a 1mg/kg/hr IV lidocaine infusion.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Safe serum levels of lidocaine infusion (<5 mcg/ml of lidocaine in blood)
Blood samples will be obtained at predetermined times after start and finish of lidocaine infusion. Each sample is 1ml. Samples will be obtained at the baseline placement of IV, 0 - 3 minutes after bolus has completed, 9 - 15 minutes after bolus infusion, 4 minutes prior to end or at the end of the continuous infusion, 55 - 65 following the end of infusion, 2 - 7 hours after completion of continuous infusion and 20 - 24 hours after completion of infusion if clinical labs are also necessary.
Time frame: Samples will be collected until the end of the OR case and up to 24 hours after surgery
Safe metabolite levels (monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and glycinexylidide (GX) with intraoperative IV lidocaine infusions
We will monitor monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and glycinexylidide (GX). Blood samples (1ml each) for metabolites will be as follows: baseline with initial placement, 4 minutes after infusion completed, 2 - 7 hours after infusion completion, 20 - 24 hours after infusion completion if clinical labs are being drawn
Time frame: Samples will be collected until the end of the OR case and up to 24 hours after surgery
