Brief summary

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been reported to be an effective treatment approach for peritoneal cancer, however, the stress response to HIPEC is major neuroendocrine and cytokine response, which has been considered as the homeostatic defense mechanism. Recently, dexmedetomidine has been suggested to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of perioperative administration of dexmedetomidine on inflammation response and postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) cytoreductive surgery.

Interventions

DRUGdexmedetomidine

Group A: dexmedetomidine infusion (0.4㎍/kg/hr) from anesthetic induction until the start of closure of peritoneum. Group B: Saline infusion during same time period.

DRUGNormal saline

Group B: Saline infusion during same time period.
