Official title: Effects of Epidural Anesthesia and Analgesia on Postoperative Metabolic, Immune Function and Hemodynamic Changes of Open Liver Resection

Conditions
Hepatectomy
Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • epidural anesthesia and analgesiaProcedure or surgery

    A thoracic epidural catheter (T8-10) was placed in group E. A bolus of 8ml 1% lidocaine with 0.375% ropivacaine was administered 15min before skin incision, followed by 5-8 ml/hr infusion during surgery in group E.

    Postoperative analgesia by PCEA in group E (concentration: 0.1% ropivacaine + 0.1μg/ml sufentanil, loading dose: 4ml, infusion rate: 8ml/hr, bolus: 4ml, 1hr limit: 16ml) and lasting for 48hr and PCIA in group G (concentration: 1μg/ml sufentanil, loading dose: 4ml, bolus: 2ml, 4hr limit: 30ml).

    Both group received general anesthesia maintaining with 1-2% end tidal sevoflurane together with TCI of propofol (target plasma concentration, 2-3µg/ml), continuous infusion of remifentanil (0.10 - 0.20 μg/kg/min) and cis-atracurium intermittently as needed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical outcomes during and after open liver resection

    intraoperative outcome including operation time, liver resection time, estimated blood loss, urine output, etc during operation. PACU recovery, pain score, liver and gastrointestinal function, hospital stay time,etc assessed.

    Before operation, right after operation(0), and 3hr, 12hr, 24hr, 72hrs after operation, blood glucose and insulin was measured.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cytokine change in perioperation of open liver resection

    Before operation and 0, 3hr, 12hr, 24hr, D3, D5 after operation, serum IL-1β, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β by microassay.

    Measured: Before operation, within 5 days after operation

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical outcomes during and after open liver resection (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
