Clinical Trial Summary

Following laparoscopic bariatric surgery, multimodal analgesia is recommended to avoid the adverse effects of opioids by reducing their use. Although lidocaine, ketamine, and dexmedetomidine have been used as adjuvant analgesics, no studies have evaluated the superiority of their intra- and postoperative infusions as components of multimodal analgesia in bariatric surgery. The present study is aimed to compare lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, and ketamine in multimodal analgesia management following Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery. Postoperative pain scores, the requirement for additional postoperative analgesia, retching, nausea and vomiting, time to mobilization, and hospital length of stay will be evaluated.

Description:

Patients will be divided into three groups. Group L: The patients will receive intravenous lidocaine (2 mg/kg/h) immediately after anesthesia induction. At the end of the surgery, the dose will be decreased to 1 mg/kg/h. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation. Group K: The patients will receive intravenous ketamine (0.5 mg/kg/h) immediately after anesthesia induction. At the end of the surgery, the dose will be decreased to 0.3 mg/kg/h. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation. Group D: The patients will receive intravenous dexmedetomidine (0.5 mg/kg/h) immediately after anesthesia induction. At the end of the surgery, the dose will be decreased to 0.3 mg/kg/h. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation. Ketamine, lidocaine, and dexmedetomidine doses will be calculated according to ideal body weight, lean body weight, and actual body weight, respectively. Randomization will be performed using a computer-generated random number list, and a statement indicating the patient's group will be placed in a closed envelope numbered according to the result. Each patient will be asked to choose an envelope, and the patients will be assigned to the study according to the group mentioned in the envelope.

Intervention

Drug:
• Lidocain
IV lidocaine infusion (2 mg/kg/h) will be initiated after anesthesia induction and decrease the dosage to 1 mg/kg/h at the end of surgery. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation.1 g paracetamol, 100 mg tramadol, 100 mg ketoprofen, and 4 mg dexamethasone will be administered to all patients pre-emptively. Granisetron (3 mg) will be administered 30 minutes before the end of surgery. In the postoperative period, i.v. Paracetamol will be administered at 8-hour intervals and 25-50 mg meperidine i.m. (maximum dose 200 mg) as rescue analgesia when requested by the patient and if VAS>4.
• Ketamine
IV ketamine infusion (0.5 mg/kg/h) will be initiated after anesthesia induction and decrease the dosage to 0.3 mg/kg/h at the end of surgery. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation.1 g paracetamol, 100 mg tramadol, 100 mg ketoprofen, and 4 mg dexamethasone will be administered to all patients pre-emptively. Granisetron (3 mg) will be administered 30 minutes before the end of surgery. In the postoperative period, i.v. Paracetamol will be administered at 8-hour intervals and 25-50 mg meperidine i.m. (maximum dose 200 mg) as rescue analgesia when requested by the patient and if VAS>4.
• Dexmedetomidine
IV dexmedetomidine infusion (0.5 mg/kg/h) will be initiated after anesthesia induction and decrease the dosage to 0.3 mg/kg/h at the end of surgery. The infusion will continue until 12 hours after the operation.1 g paracetamol, 100 mg tramadol, 100 mg ketoprofen, and 4 mg dexamethasone will be administered to all patients pre-emptively. Granisetron (3 mg) will be administered 30 minutes before the end of surgery. In the postoperative period, i.v. Paracetamol will be administered at 8-hour intervals and 25-50 mg meperidine i.m. (maximum dose 200 mg) as rescue analgesia when requested by the patient and if VAS>4.

Secondary	Time to first mobilization	The patients first mobilization time after the operation will be recorded.	Up to 24 hours after surgery.
Secondary	Time to discharge	The length of hospital stay will be recorded.	Trough hospital stay, an average of 1 week.
