    The study evaluated the effects of intravenous lidocaine infusion therapy (IVLT) on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) during PSIF in adolescents.

  • 2

    A total of 44 adolescents aged 10–19 years participated in the prospective randomized controlled trial conducted at BC Children's Hospital.

  • 3

    Participants in the IVLT group received a standardized lidocaine regimen, while control participants received a placebo with matching infusion rates.

  • 4

    The analysis found no significant difference in reportable IONM events between the IVLT group and the control group during the procedures.

  • 5

    The study confirmed that standardized IVLT did not negatively impact IONM measurements in adolescents undergoing PSIF for idiopathic scoliosis.
