Diabetes Mellitus, Acute Kidney Injury, Laparoscopic Surgical Procedure, Neuromuscular Blockade
Conditions
Brief summary
In this single center, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, we will include 648 diabetes patients aged 18-70 undergoing laparoscopic pelvic tumor resection. They will be randomized to the following four groups: high-pressure pneumoperitoneum (10mmHg)+ deep neuromuscular block group, high-pressure pneumoperitoneum (15mmHg)+moderate neuromuscular block group, low-pressure pneumoperitoneum + deep neuromuscular block group and low-pressure pneumoperitoneum+moderate neuromuscular block group. Deep neuromuscular block is defined as post tetanic count (PTC) 1-2, and low neuromuscular block is defined as train-of-four (TOF) twitch 1-2. The outcomes will be indicators for acute kidney injury and surgical condition.
Detailed description
In this single center, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial, we will include 648 diabetes patients aged 18-70 undergoing laparoscopic pelvic tumor resection under general anesthesia. They will be randomized to the following four groups: high-pressure pneumoperitoneum (10mmHg)+ deep neuromuscular block group, high-pressure pneumoperitoneum (15mmHg)+moderate neuromuscular block group, low-pressure pneumoperitoneum + deep neuromuscular block group and low-pressure pneumoperitoneum+moderate neuromuscular block group. Neuromuscular block will be induced by rocuronium bolus and maintained by a continuous infusion of rocuronium. Deep neuromuscular block is defined as PTC 1-2, and low neuromuscular block is defined as train-of-four TOF twitch 1-2. The primary outcome will be serum Cystatin C level, and the secondary outcomes will be serum creatine level, urinary sediment, intraoperative urine output, duration of surgery, surgical space condition and occurrence bucking and body movement.
Interventions
High-pressure pneumoperitoneum is defined as intra-abdominal pressure 12-15 mmHg.
Deep neuromuscular block is defined as PTC 1-2.
Low-pressure pneumoperitoneum is defined as intra-abdominal pressure 7-10 mmHg.
Moderate neuromuscular block is defined as TOF twitch 1-2.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Serum cystatin C (CysC) level | 30 minutes before pneumoperitoneum insufflation | CysC is a sensitive indicator for early kidney injury, and can be used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The volume of intraoperative urine output | At the end of the surgery | A urine tube will be inserted just before the surgery, so the urine can be drained into a bag. The volume of urine in the bag at the end of the surgery will be the volume of intraoperative urine output. |
| The presence of isomorphic or dysmorphic erythrocyte in urinary sediment | Postoperative day 1 | Erythrocyte in urinary sediment is also an indicator of renal injury. |
| Duration of surgery | Intraoperative | Duration of surgery is an indicator for procedure difficulty |
| Serum creatine level | 30 minutes before pneumoperitoneum insufflation | Creatine is also an indicator for kidney injury |
| The number of bucking and body movement during the surgery | Intraoperative | The occurrence of bucking or body movement is an indicator for the sufficiency of muscle relaxant. |
| Renal tissue oxygen saturation | Intraoperative | Renal oxygen saturation is an indicator for renal tissue oxygenation. |
| Leiden-surgical rating scale | The moment when trocars are introduced into pelvic cavity, and then every 15 minutes till the end of surgery. | We will use Leiden surgical rating scale (Martini et al.) to assess surgical condition. It is a 5-point scale, the minimum and maximum values are 1 and 5, respectively. Higher score indicates better surgical condition. |
