Conditions

Cancer Larynx, Total Laryngectomy

Brief summary

The aim of this prospective, randomized clinical study is to compare between propofol and isoflurane on perioperative immune cell populations and function in patients undergoing total laryngectomy surgery.

Detailed description

The perioperative period might be a critical time in primary cancer surgery because many factors can affect whether recurrence, or metastasis , or elimination by the immune system. Cancer surgery can induce an acute inflammatory response, due to local tissue damage and the shedding of malignant cells into the blood and lymphocytic circulation although meticulous surgical manipulation. Many evidences suggest that several factors during the perioperative period can affect the immune system. These could be attributed to the surgery per se, pain, anxiety, hypothermia, blood transfusion, anesthetic technique, and anesthetic drugs .Impairment in the immune system may allow malignant cells to escape immuno-surveillance and metastasize in the perioperative period.As well as increase the risk of postoperative complications, such as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and multi-organ failure. Previous retrospective clinical studies of both breast and prostate cancer surgery have suggested an association between anaesthetic technique and cancer recurrence. However ,other retrospective trials on various forms of cancer have shown no such benefit.

Interventions

DRUGPropofol group

Anesthesia is maintained with continuous infusion of propofol 1.5-2mg/kg/h and dexmedetomidine 0.2-1ug/kg/h.

Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane at a concentration of 2-2.5%. fentanyl 50 ug increments

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
CD3 plasma levelfor 7 days after procedureVenous blood samples will be collected. The extracted venous blood samples will be mixed evenly in a special anti-coagulation test tube and stored in a refrigerator (at 4C).Flow cytometer will be used to detect the level of CD3+

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart ratefor 5 hours during the procedureIntraoperative heart rate changes
Blood pressurefor 5 hours during the procedureIntraoperative blood pressure changes
Peripheral oxygen saturation measured with pulse oximetryfor 5 hours during the procedureIntraoperative peripheral oxygen saturation changes as measured with pulse oximetry
