Abstract

In this study, we have investigated whether intrathecal (i.t.) lidocaine administration is accompanied with changes of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) levels. Rats were anaesthetized for i.t. implantation of a triple-lumen spinal loop dialysis catheter. CSF changes in PGE(2) after i.t. injection of saline, 400, or 1000 microg of lidocaine were measured. The impact of i.t. pretreatment with 5 microg MK801 (N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate antagonist) or 10 microg SC76309A (COX-2 inhibitor) was also investigated. CSF dialysates for measurement of PGE(2) were collected for 4 h. During the whole procedure, motor and sensory blocks were evaluated. A separate group receiving i.t. lidocaine 400 microg (without dialysate sampling) was assessed for mechanical (Von Frey) and radiant heat pain. PGE(2) levels increased to 400% of baseline and remained elevated for 90-120 min after i.t. lidocaine at both doses. Pretreatment with SC76309A and MK801 attenuated this increase. A 40 min period of enhanced pain response was observed after Von Frey filament stimulation during and after sensory and motor block recovery. I.T. lidocaine (400 or 1000 microg) increases PGE(2) levels in the CSF for 90-120 min along with a transient p...Continue Reading
