Official title:
Dexmedetomidine Infusion as an Analgesic Adjuvant During Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Randomized Controlled Study
The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine infusion during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The randomized, single-center, controlled study was carried out from May 2016 to June 2017 at department of surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care, Postgraduate Institute of Bogomolets National Medical University.
Dexmedetomidine provide sedative, sympatholytic and analgesic effect, so it could be used as
an adjuvant to improve analgesia, hemodynamic response to intubation and pneumoperitoneum,
decrease the number of opioid-associated adverse effects.
The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine infusion during
laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The randomized, single-center, controlled study was carried out from May 2016 to June 2017 at
department of surgery, anesthesiology and intensive care, Postgraduate Institute of
Bogomolets National Medical University. Study design was approved by Ethical Committee at
Bogomolets National Medical University (approval code 56).
60 patients elected for LCE were included in the study. The inclusion criteria were: age
between 18 and 79 years, either sex, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status
I to II. The exclusion criteria were age outside the specified range, pregnancy or lactation,
severe systemic disease (ASA III physical status), patients on b-blockers or calcium channel
blockers.
After the primary patient assessment, eligible participants were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to
either the intervention (Group D) or control (Group C) groups using random assignment in
blocks of four. The randomization sequence was generated using a computer algorithm [19].
Randomization and data analysis were conducted by an independent blinded member of the
research team.
Group D received dexmedetomidine infusion 0,5 mcg/kg/h from induction in anesthesia to
extubation, group C (control) received normal saline infusion. To prepare the infusion,
dexmedetomidine 2ml containing 100mcg of the drug was diluted up to 50 ml with normal saline
resulting in final concentration of 4mcg/kg. Dexmedetomidine or normal saline infusion was
given through infusion pump.
After taking the patient to the operation room, vital signs monitor Philips and Bispectral
Index (BIS) monitoring were attached (pulse, heart rate, electrocardiography (ECG), arterial
pressure (AP), oxygen saturation). Peripheral intravenous cannula was inserted for
intravenous fluids and infusion pump (separate line). Patients did not receive premedication.
Before induction they receive dexketoprofen 50mg IV and omeprazole 40mg.
Pre-oxygenation was performed for 2 min, induction in anesthesia - with propofol 2mg/kg IV
and succinyl choline 1,5mg/kg IV. After intubation anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane
and atracurium bromide. The patients were ventilated with circle system with goal CO2 35-45
mm Hg. BIS-monitor target was between 40 and 60. Anesthetics and drug infusion were stopped
with the end of surgery.
The primary efficacy outcomes were number of patients with severe pain, time to first rescue
analgesia and postoperative morphine consumption. Severe pain was estimated as VAS≥7 during
30% or more time in first 48 hours after surgery. Time to first rescue analgesia was
estimated as time from end of anesthesia to the time postoperatively when patient ask for
analgesia or have VAS≥4. Injection morphine hydrochlorides 10mg subcutaneously was used as a
rescue analgesic. NSAIDs (dexketoprofen 150mg per day) were prescribed routinely.
Secondary efficacy outcomes included:
- Time from end of surgery to extubation
- Lengths of postanesthesia unit/general ward stay
- Incidence of chronic postoperative pain During first 48 hours after surgery patients in
both groups were evaluated by the nursing stuff using the Richmond agitation sedation
scale (RASS) for sedation, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment (every 2
hours or prior to rescue analgesia).
Safety was assessed by monitoring vital signs and recording adverse events. During anesthesia
all patients receive continuous ECG, BIS, pulse oximetry, capnography monitoring. AP was
measured every 3-5min. Arterial blood gases were checked by doctor prescription. An adverse
event was recorded if systolic blood pressure was <90 or >160 mmHg or if heart rate was <50
or >110 beats/min; desaturation was estimated as peripheral oxygen saturation (or SaO2) <90%.
Interventions for bradycardia, tachycardia, hypertension and hypotension comprised titration
or interruption of study agent, or additional drug therapy.
Statistical analysis was performed using R software. Categorical data are presented as
proportions and continuous data as medians with 25-75% interquartile ranges (IQRs).
Chi-square testing demonstrated that all of the study variables were discrete. To assess
significance levels, a two-tailed Mann-Whitney U-test and Fisher's exact test were used. A
p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.
