“…Lidocaine has several properties that can explain salutary effects on spinal cord injury‐related ileus. A direct excitatory effect on intestinal smooth muscle, 15 blockade of the afferent and/or efferent link of the sympathetic inhibitory spinal reflexes 16 and inhibition of neuronal and reflex responses to colonic distension 13,17 are probably involved. An anti‐inflammatory effect, 3,18 especially on inflammation due to peritoneal distension 13,19 and post‐traumatic or post‐surgical stress, 20–22 could also be hypothesized.…”

Paralytic ileus is a major concern in the acute phase of spinal cord injury. Classical treatment with neostigmine is often ineffective. Continuous intravenous (i.v.) lidocaine infusion has been previously proposed intra and post-operatively in order to decrease the duration of post-operative ileus after abdominal surgery. We report the cases of seven patients suffering from complete paralytic spinal cord injury-related ileus with colectasy resistant to neostigmine, who were treated by i.v. lidocaine infusion.
