Clinical Trial Summary

There is still no effective treatment for surgical pain, especially visceral pain in bariatric surgery. Oxycodone has great application prospect in patients with obesity, but there are few clinical studies and analgesic effect is still unclear, especially in combination with esketamine.

This study was a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous oxycodone and combined use of esketamine for perioperative multimodel analgesia during bariatric surgery, and the effect of esketamine on inflammatory factors.

This study was based on the hypothesis that oxycodone and the combination use with esketamine can effectively reduce the level of postoperative pain and inflammatory factors, and does not increase perioperative adverse reactions in bariatric surgery.

Description:

The ideal analgesia for bariatric surgery in obese individuals is one that provides effective analgesia for gastrointestinal trauma and abdominal wall incisions without inhibiting respiratory and gastrointestinal recovery. Although many researches have been done on surgical analgesia, there is still no very effective treatment for pain caused by surgery, especially visceral pain.

Oxycodone is a new type of opioid with pure μ and κ receptor double agonists. κ-receptor agonist has specific analgesic effect on visceral pain. Studies have found that oxycodone has obvious effect on visceral pain after abdominal surgery, and at the same time, oxycodone almost does not affect respiration and gastrointestinal peristalsis, which has great application prospect in obese people. However, opioids (including oxycodone) can cause drug tolerance and hyperalgesia, which may be mediated by NMDA receptor activation in the central nervous system. Esketamine provides exact analgesic effect by antagonizing NMDA receptors, with mild respiratory depression and less gastrointestinal and psychiatric adverse reactions. As an analgesic adjuvant, it can reduce the consumption of opioids and increase the analgesic effect when used in combination with other drugs.

Therefore, a prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous oxycodone plus esketamine for perioperative multimodal analgesia and the effects on inflammatory cytokines levels during bariatric surgery.

Participants were divided into an intervention group with oxycodone or (and) esketamine, and a control group with dezocine. The main concerns are the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia and the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Intervention

Drug:
• Oxycodone Hydrochloride
The doses were calculated according to the ideal body weight. Oxycodone was administered within 30min before the end of surgery. The parameters of patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump were set as continuous volume: 0ml, PCA: 6ml, lock time: 5min, extreme limit: 30ml, and connect with peripheral venous access at the beginning of skin suture.
• Dezocine
Dezocine was administered within 30min before the end of surgery. The parameters of patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump were set as continuous volume: 0ml, PCA: 6ml, lock time: 5min, extreme limit: 30ml, and connect with peripheral venous access at the beginning of skin suture.
• Esketamine and Oxycodone
Esketamine was administered 5min before skin incision, and Oxycodone was administered within 30min before the end of surgery. The parameters of patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pump were set as continuous volume: 0ml, PCA: 6ml, lock time: 5min, extreme limit: 30ml, and connect with peripheral venous access at the beginning of skin suture.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in postoperative pain	The Visual analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the intensity of postoperative resting state, motor state, and visceral pain within 48 hours after surgery. VAS ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents excruciating pain, with higher scores indicating greater pain.	Within 48 hours after surgery.
Primary	Postoperative opioid consumption	The total postoperative opioid consumption was recorded within 48 hours after surgery. Postoperative opioid consumption was evaluated using intravenous morphine equivalent (IVME).	Within 48 hours after surgery.
Secondary	Postoperative nausea and vomiting	Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was evaluated within 48 hours after surgery. 11-point verbal numeric rating scale (VNRS) was used to evaluate nausea (none:0, mild: 1-3, moderate:4-6, severe 7-10). Vomiting was considered a condition of retching symptom or the presence of vomit.	Within 48 hours after surgery.
Secondary	Time to extubation	The total extubation time from the end of surgery to the removal of the endotracheal tube was evaluated after surgery.	Intraoperative (From the end of surgery to the removal of the endotracheal tube)
Secondary	Ramsay sedation score	Ramsay sedation score was evaluated within 48 hours after surgery. Ramsay sedation score from 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating deeper the sedation.	Within 48 hours after surgery.
Secondary	Finger pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2)	Finger pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) was evaluated within 48 hours after surgery.	Within 48 hours after surgery.
Secondary	Adverse effect	Perioperative adverse effects such as shivering, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, dry mouth, respiratory depression during postoperative to discharge.	During the hospital stay after surgery, an expected average of three days.
Secondary	Total amount of anesthetic drugs used	Total amount of anesthetic drugs Propofol, Remifentanil and (or) sevoflurane used was evaluated during the whole surgery.	Intraoperative (During the whole bariatric surgery)
Secondary	Total length of stay	Total length of stay was evaluated from postoperative to discharge.	During the hospital stay after surgery, an expected average of three days.
Secondary	First time to get out of bed after surgery	First time to get out of bed after surgery was evaluated after surgery.	During the hospital stay after surgery, an expected average of three days.
