About this study

Official title: Comparative Study of Influence of Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) and Volatile Anaesthesia Using Sevoflurane or Desflurane on the Intraoperative Blood Loss During Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery

The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the utility of Pupillary Dilatation Reflex (PRD) for monitoring pain perception intraoperatively and its influence on intraoperative blood loss, quality of surgical field using Boezaart Bleeding Scale (BBS) in patients undergoing functional sinus surgery (FESS) under total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol or volatile anaesthesia using sevoflurane or desflurane

Read the detailed description

Intraoperative blood loss during FESS constitutes a major problem for a surgeon because it influences quality of surgical field. Each incident of haemorrhage makes the operator stop the procedure in order to bring back the optimal visualization of the intranasal anatomy. In the end it prolongs the time of procedure.

Currently, intraoperative blood loss is estimated based on Boezaart Bleeding Scale (BBS) (0 - no bleeding (cadaveric conditions), 1 - Slight bleeding, no suctioning required, 2 - Slight bleeding, occasional suctioning required, 3 - Slight bleeding, frequent suctioning required; bleeding threatens surgical field a few seconds after suction is removed, 4 - Moderate bleeding, frequent suctioning required, and bleeding threatens surgical field directly after suction is removed, 5 - Severe bleeding, constant suctioning required; bleeding appears faster than can be removed by suction; surgical field severely threatened and surgery usually not possible).

Recently, Pupillary Dilatation Reflex (PRD) was added as a surrogate variable showing the nociception-antinociception balance into above mentioned parameters constituting a novel approach in monitoring patients intraoperatively, known as adequacy of anaesthesia (AoA) or tailor-made anaesthesia. PRD value >5% reflects increased sensitivity to painful stimulus it constitutes the indication for administration of rescue analgesia intraoperatively.

This study aims at evaluating utility of PRD-directed analgesia using remifentanil on the intraoperative blood loss, haemodynamic stability and time duration of surgery in patients undergoing functional sinus surgery (FESS) under total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol or volatile anaesthesia using sevoflurane or desflurane Currently, FESS is most often performed using total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) which is by majority of anaesthesiologists believed to reduce the intraoperative blood loss compared to general anaesthesia using volatile anaesthetics, but current literature provides conflicting findings in this area if the sort of anaesthetic used influences quality of the surgical field.

What participants receive

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

  • RemifentanilDrug

    Also called Remifentanil infusion

    a rate of infusion will be increased by 50% every 5 minutes until PRD decreases below 5%

  • pupillary dilatation reflexDevice

    PRD value will me measured before the start of FESS after 5 minutes of remifentanyl infusion, when PRD sensitivity > 5% , infusion of remifentanyl will be increased by 50% until PRD sensitivity <5% and FESS will be started ; intraoperatively infusion of remifentanyl will be increased by 50% until PRD sensitivity <5%

What is being measured

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

  1. blood loss postoperatively

    the investigators will measure the amount of blood loss in the suction bag in millilitres (ml) using a syringe after operation of FESS is completed

    Measured: end of operation,' assessment

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. heart rate stability intraoperatively

    the investigators will measure heart rate during TIVAevery 5 minutes up to the end of the operation

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  2. PRD-guided pain perception intraoperatively

    The investigators will measure PRD value and adjust infusion speed of remifentanyl, in the case of PRD value >5% the speed of remifentanyl infusion will accelerate by 50%, intraoperatively, every 15 minutes or at any change of BBS, up to the end of the operation

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  3. condition of surgical field

    the surgeon will assess the quality of surgical field using BBS when the operation of FESS

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  4. total consumption of propofol

    The investigators will measure the consumption of propofol intraoperatively

    Measured: end of operation assessment

  5. total consumption of remifentanil

    The investigators will measure the consumption of remifentanyl intraoperatively

    Measured: end of operation assessment

  6. concentration of desflurane in end-expiratory gas

    The investigators will measure theconcentration of desflurane in end-expiratory gas intraoperatively

    Measured: intraoperative assessment

  7. concentration of sevoflurane in end-expiratory gas

    The investigators will measure the concentration of sevoflurane in end-expiratory gas intraoperatively

    Measured: intraoperative assessment
