Abstract
The article is a response to an editorial published in the February 2021 issue of Anesthesia that negatively assessed the prospects for the intravenous infusion of lidocaine as a component of postoperative analgesia. The issues regarding the effectiveness and safety of this technique are considered. The data on evidence-based medicine confirming the advisability of perioperative intravenous infusion of lidocaine are presented.
