Clinical Trial Summary

Magnesium sulfate has been shown to be useful in many situations in medicine, such as eclampsia prevention and treatment, pulmonary hypertension, arterial pressure, asthma, cardiac arrhythmias and pheochromocytoma. Recently there has been a growing a big interest in this drug as an useful adjuvant in anesthesia, with analgesic and anesthetic sparing effect, antihyperalgesic property and potentialization of the neuromuscular blocker agent effect. On the other hand there has been a growing concern related to opioid administration, such as hyperalgesia, delayed return of intestinal function and the (still controversial) possibility of facilitating effect on tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients. This project is based on a previous randomized, double blind prospective trial (conducted by one of these authors and not yet published) comparing two groups of patients who received general intravenous total anesthesia with propofol in controlled target infusion. The surgical stress index is obtained by the interaction between the interval between heart beats and the amplitude of the photoplethysmography wave, whose algorithm generates a number related to the hemodynamic result of the increase of the sympathetic tone, which has shown to be the most sensitive resource in detecting the imbalance between the stimulus nociceptive and anti-nociception.

On the other hand there has been a growing concern related to opioid administration, such as hyperalgesia, delayed return of intestinal function and the (still controversial) possibility of facilitating effect on tumor growth and metastases in cancer patients. This project is based on a previous randomized, double blind prospective trial (conducted by one of these authors and not yet published) comparing two groups of patients who received general intravenous total anesthesia with propofol in controlled target infusion. The surgical stress index is obtained by the interaction between the interval between heart beats and the amplitude of the photoplethysmography wave, whose algorithm generates a number related to the hemodynamic result of the increase of the sympathetic tone, which has shown to be the most sensitive resource in detecting the imbalance between the stimulus nociceptive and anti-nociception. Objectives The main objective of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of the use of magnesium sulfate in replacement of remifentanil as the main analgesic agent in total venous general anesthesia in patients submitted to post-bariatric dermolipectomy surgery. The secondary objectives will be comparison of propofol consumption, time to onset of action, time of action and cisatracurium consumption between groups. We will evaluate pain scores in the immediate postoperative period and in the mornings and afternoons of the 3 days after surgery. ;
