About this study

Official title: The Effect of Opioid Free Anesthesia on the Postoperative Opioid Consumption in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgeries: Randomized Controlled Study

This is a prospective randomized controlled study that will be carried out on morbid obese patients admitted to Tanta University hospitals for laparoscopic bariatric surgeries. The patients will be randomly assigned into;- Control group:- Anesthesia will be induced by fentanyl 1 ug/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 to maintain entropy 40-60.

Opioid free anesthesia group;- Anesthesia will be induced by propofol 2 mg/kg, rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. After endotracheal intubation, and a combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine infusion. Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 and continuing the infusion of dexmedetomidine and ketamine o maintain entropy 40-60.

Read the detailed description

This prospective randomized controlled study will be carried out on patients who will be presented for laparoscopic bariatric surgery in the general surgery department in Tanta university hospitals over six-month duration that will start immediately after obtaining ethical committee approval and clinical trial registration. An informed written consent will be obtained from all the participants, all patients data will be confidential and will be used for the current study only.

Inclusion criteria:

Morbid obese patients with BMI 40-50 kg/m2 aged more than 21 years and American Society of Anesthesiologists Class III presented for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.

Exclusion criteria:

  • Patients refused to participate.
  • Patients with known or suspected or known allergy to the used medication.
  • Patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
  • Patients with uncontrolled blood sugar, cardiac, renal, or hepatic functions.
  • Patients receiving opioids preoperatively
  • Uncooperative patients
  • Patients received preoperative gabapentoids.

Anesthetic technique Once the patients will arrive to the operating room, intravascular access will be established, fluid preload will be started, and basic monitor will be attached.

The patients will be randomly distributed into two equal groups by the aid of computer-generated software of randomization: - ▪ Control group (30 patients): Anesthesia will be induced by fentanyl 1 ug/kg, propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. After endotracheal intubation, Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 to maintain entropy 40-60. The patients in this group will be connected to a syringe pump before induction of anesthesia that was prepared by anesthesia resident not participating in the study and contain normal saline and adjusted at a rate of 1 ml/kg/hr till the end of the surgery.

▪ Opioid free anesthesia group (30 patients): A syringe 50 ml was prepared by anesthesia resident not participating in the study and contain 100 ug of dexmedetomidine (2 ug/ml) and 25 mg ketamine 90.5 mg/ml) and 200 mg lidocaine (4 mg/ml). The syringe will be connected to the patients before induction of anesthesia at a rate of 0.1 ml/kg/hr according to the ideal body weight. Anesthesia will be induced by propofol 2 mg/kg, and rocuronium 1 mg/kg to facilitate tracheal intubation. Anesthesia will be maintained by sevoflurane 2% in a mixture of oxygen: Air 1: 1 to maintain entropy 40-60. The syringe infusion will be continued till the end of peritoneal manipulation. Patients in this group will receive magnesium sulphate preload at a dose of 40 mg/kg ideal body weight followed by maintenance infusion of 10 mg/kg/hr.

In both groups, routine anti-emetic prophylaxis will be administrated composed of ondansetron 4 mg and dexamethasone 8 mg before the surgery. Additional analgesia will be provided using 1 gm of paracetamol together with intraperitoneal local anesthetics and wound infiltration.

All the patients will be connected to the bispectral index monitor with maintaining its value 40-60. Increase in n bispectral index value above 60 will be managed by additional dose of fentanyl 0.5 ug/kg IBW and increasing the concentration of sevoflurane by 0.2% till the value decreased below 60.

At the end of the surgery, the inhalational anesthesia will be switched off with reversal of muscle relaxation using neostigmine and atropine with full awake extubation of the patient. The patients will be transported to the recovery room for adequate postoperative monitoring and management.

Measurements:

  1. Patient age, weight, height.
  2. The total dose consumption of fentanyl consumed intraopeartively.
  3. The total volume consumed of sevoflureane intraoperatively (ml/hr).
  4. The postoperative Visual Analogue Score (VAS): It will be measured every 2 hours till 6 h, then every 4 h till 24 h. In case of increase the VAS more than 3, a rescue analgesia will be administrated in the form of 2mg morphine i.v that may be repeated.
  5. The time for the first request of morphine rescue analgesia
  6. The total dose of morphine consumed in the first 24 h after surgery
  7. The recovery profile of the patient.
  8. Patients satisfaction.

What participants receive

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

  • FentanylDrug

    Also called Opioid based Anesthesia

    Anesthesia will be induced by fentanyl, propofol, and rocuronium with maintenance of anesthesia using sevoflurane.

  • Dexmedetomidine KetamineDrug

    Also called Opioid sparing

    No opioid will be used in induction of anesthesia. A combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine will be infused. Sevoflurane will be used for maintenance of anesthesia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fentanyl and Dexmedetomidine Ketamine in people with Adverse Effect of Drugs and Medicaments in Therapeutic Use and Adverse Effects in the Therapeutic Use of Anaesthetics, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative opioid consumption (time frame: The first 24 hours postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2020.
