Brief summary

The objective of this prospective randomized clinical study was to compare anesthesia, in morbidly obese patents (BMI \>50) who underwent BPD-RYGBP with either sevoflurane or propofol with remifentanyl.

Detailed description

This is a prospective double blind randomized controlled trial. The patients will be assigned to one of 4 groups (gr): (1) SEVO group, guided by a target end tidal concentration 1 - 2 MAC and modified according to the haemodynamics (BP, HR) of the patients using a bolus inhalation (4 MAC), (2) SEVO-BIS group, using SEVO to a target BIS of 40 - 50, (3) PROPO-REMI and (4) PROPO-REMI-BIS groups accordingly. In groups 1 and 2, anaesthesia will be induced with IV PROPO (2 mg/kg TW \[TW = ideal body weight, IBW + 0.4 \* difference to the excess weight\]), REMI (1 μg/kg IBW) and succinylcholine (1mg/kg IBW). In groups 3, 4 anaesthesia will be induced with a continuous IV PROPO infusion (21mg/kg TW/h for 5 min, 12 mg/kg TW/h for 10 min and then 6 mg/kg TW/h), followed by an IV bolus of REMI and succinylcholine as above. Every rise of BP or HR \> 15% of baseline will be followed by a bolus SEVO inhalation in grs 1 and 2 or REMI bolus IV (1 μg/kg IBW) and increase in the continuous infusion rate of REMI from 0.1 to 1.0 μg/kg/min in groups 3 and 4. An epidural catheter will be placed prior to induction for postoperative analgesia only. Intraoperative BP and HR, anaesthetic consumption, recovery scores (Aldrete, Chung, White) and anaesthesia cost will be evaluated.

Interventions

DRUGSevoflurane

Intraoperatively Sevoflurane will be guided by a target end tidal concentration 1 - 2 MAC .Every rise of BP or HR \> 15% of baseline will be followed by a bolus SEVO inhalation 8% MAC for 2 minutes

DRUGPropofol- Remifentanyl

Anaesthesia will be induced with a continuous IV Propofol infusion (21mg/kg TBW for 5 min, 12 mg/kg TBW for 10 min and then 6 mg/kg TBW), followed by an IV bolus of Remifentanyl (1 μg/kg IBW) and succinylcholine (1mg/kg IBW).General anesthesia will be maintained with continuous intravenous administration of Propofol at 150-300mcg/kg/min (doses based on ideal body weight). Every rise of BP or HR \> 15% of baseline will be followed by a Remifentanyl bolus IV (1 μg/kg IBW) and increase in the continuous infusion rate of Remifentanyl from 0.1 to 1.0 μg/kg/min

DRUGPropofol, Remifentanyl

Anaesthesia will be induced with a continuous IV Propofol infusion (21mg/kg TBW for 5 min, 12 mg/kg TBW for 10 min and then 6 mg/kg TBW), followed by an IV bolus of Remifentanyl (1 μg/kg IBW) and succinylcholine (1mg/kg IBW). General anesthesia will be maintained with continuous intravenous administration of Propofol at 150-300mcg/kg/min (ideal body weight). The depth of anesthesia will be adjusted so as to accomplish a BIS score between 40 and 50 Every rise of BP or HR \> 15% of baseline will be followed by a Remi bolus IV (1 μg/kg IBW) and increase in the continuous infusion rate of Remi from 0.1 to 1.0 μg/kg/min
