A Pilot Study About Safety and Efficacy of Atomized Intrapleural Lidocaine During Pleuroscopy

This study will evaluate the potential to decrease the use of IV anesthesia drugs in patients
undergoing pleuroscopy administering lidocane standardly applied to the skin in combination
with atomized lidocaine applied into the pleural cavity.

Most patient discomfort results from direct manipulation or contact with the parietal pleura
during chest tube placement, talc instillation or pleural biopsy. This study intends to use
combined IV, intradermal and intrapleural anesthesia during pleuroscopy procedures.
Intrapleural atomized lidocaine will be applied directly to the parital pleura. This study
will evaluate intravenous anesthesia reduction in subjects treated with intrapleural
lidocaine, reduction in total procedure timeby minimizing interruptions due to poor pain
control, reduce perioperative pain scores and improve patient comfort nad to determine safety
of fixed dosage of 3 mg/kg intrapleural lidocaine given during pleuroscopy.

- Sever sinoatrial block (w/o pacemaker)

- Concurrent treatment with quinidine, flecainide, dsopyramide, procainamide (ClassI
antirrhythmic agents)

- Prior use or amiodarone hydrochloride

- systolic BP < 90mmHg
