Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of an opioid-free anesthesia regimen with a mixture of dexmedetomidine-lidocaine-ketamine in the same syringe versus fentanyl analgesia in elective thyroidectomies. Recovery parameters and nociception levels throughout the operation will be evaluated


Description:

In the usual anesthetic practice opioids are often administered in the perioperative period for intraoperative analgesia to control the nociceptive pathway of pain and post-surgical pain management. However, in recent years, opioid Free Anesthesia (OFA) has become increasingly popular, in which opioid administration is avoided intraoperatively and minimized or avoided in the postoperative period. Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) has been shown to decrease postoperative complications associated with opioids, include sedation, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, physical dependence, tolerance, and respiratory depression. Therefore, the investigators aim to perform this study to determine a goal-directed approach, which targets adequate antinociception (e.g., by measuring nociceptive/antinociceptive balance) that could reduce the negative effects of excessive drug infusion, prevent postoperative pain and improve patient outcomes.

Study Design


Intervention

Drug:
dexmedetomidine-ketamine-lidocaine (DKL)
patients will be administered 0.25 mcg/kg Dexmedetomidine in 100 mL of normal saline within 10 minutes. Followingly, they will receive 1 mL/10 kg of the solution containing ketamine, lidocaine and dexmedetomidine at predefined concentrations. As maintenance, they will be receiving 1mL/10kg/h of the aforementioned solution.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other time to emergence time from sevoflurane discontinuation to first patient response (eye opening) up to 2-3 hours after start of surgery]
Other time to extubation time from sevoflurane discontinuation to tracheal extubation up to 2-3 hours after start of surgery]
Primary change from baseline in Quality of Recovery (QoR)-40 score after surgery The QoR-40 is used to measure functional recovery and has been validated in patients undergoing general surgical procedures. Five general quality-of-recovery dimensions are measured within the QoR-40: physical comfort (12 items), emotional state (9 items), physical independence (5 items), psychological support (7 items), and pain (7 items). Each item is graded on a five-point Likert scale, and the global scores range from 40 (extremely poor quality of recovery) to 200 (excellent quality of recovery) 24 hours postoperatively
Primary pain score on arrival to Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) on arrival to PACU, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable" immediately postoperatively
Primary pain score at discharge from Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at discharge from PACU, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable" at discharge from Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), approximately 1 hour postoperatively
Primary pain score 3 hours postoperatively pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 3 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable" 3 hours postoperatively
Primary pain score 6 hours postoperatively pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 6 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable" 6 hours postoperatively
Primary pain score 24 hours postoperatively pain score by the use of Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) 24 hours postoperatively, ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 means "no pain" and 10 means "worst pain imaginable" 24 hours postoperatively
Primary Nociception Level Nociception Level as measured via the NOL (Nociception Level) index, whose values vary from 0 to 100 (100 represents the maximum level of nociception and 0 represents total absence of nociception). The aim of the current study will be to record percentage of operative time during which NOL levels will be <25 intraoperatively
Secondary remifentanil requirement during anesthesia rescue remifentanil required intraoperatively to maintain systolic arterial blood pressure and heart rate within the 20% of baseline value intraoperatively

Secondary sedation on arrival to Post-Anesthesia Care Unit sedation will be assessed with a 5-point sedation scale, where: 1, patient perfectly conscious; 2, patient feels a little drowsy; 3, patient seems to be sleeping but immediately reacts to verbal stimulation; 4, patient seems to be sleeping but slowly reacts to verbal stimulation and 5, patient seems to be sleeping and does not react to verbal stimulation but does react to a stimulus such as shaking or pain immediately postoperatively
Secondary sedation at discharge from Post-Anesthesia Care (PACU) Unit sedation will be assessed with a 5-point sedation scale, where: 1, patient perfectly conscious; 2, patient feels a little drowsy; 3, patient seems to be sleeping but immediately reacts to verbal stimulation; 4, patient seems to be sleeping but slowly reacts to verbal stimulation and 5, patient seems to be sleeping and does not react to verbal stimulation but does react to a stimulus such as shaking or pain at discharge from Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), approximately 1 hour postoperatively
