Brief summary

The main aim of this study is to compare the perioperative effects of different intra-abdominal pressures and different insufflators in patients undergoing robotic surgery at a 30-45 degree trendelenburg position.

Detailed description

Adult patients scheduled for robotic genitourinary or colorectal surgery are going to be enrolled in this study. Patients will be randomized in three groups. In group I, conventional insufflators will be used with 12 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure; in group II, valveless insufflators will be used with 12 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure and in group III, valveless insufflators will be used with 8 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure. Intraoperative data regarding airway pressures, lung compliance, hemodynamic parameters, arterial blood gas analysis, times of pressure loss and camera cleaning will be gathered. Each patient will receive a standardized anesthesia and analgesia procedure with a intravenous morphine patient controlled analgesia (PCA). Postoperative pain will be monitored at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th postoperative hours and morphine consumption rates will be recorded. Patient length of stay, time to first flatus, urine output, postoperative complications(graded by Clavien Dindo classification), preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin and creatinine levels will be filed.

Interventions

DEVICEValveless Insufflator with 12 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure

In this group valveless insufflators, which are relatively new in clinical practice, will be used under low intra-abdominal pressure throughout the surgery.

DEVICEValveless Insufflator with 8 mmHg intra-abdominal pressure

In this group valveless insufflators, which are relatively new in clinical practice, will be used under ultra-low intra-abdominal pressure throughout the surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of manipulations done by the attending anesthesiologistsIntraoperativeAfter the induction of general anesthesia, orotracheal intubation and arterial catheterization; a standard ventilation and anesthesia maintenance strategy will be applied. Every manipulation performed to keep the parameters monitored by the anesthesiologists within physiological limits will be recorded: ventilation frequency setting, remifentail infusion titration, administration of vasoactive agents, etc.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Arterial blood gas lactate levelsIntraoperativeArterial blood gas will be sampled at standardized times during the operation and lactate levels will be compared among the groups
Peak airway pressuresIntraoperativePeak airway pressures (cmH2O) will be compared among the groups
Mean airway pressuresIntraoperativeMean airway pressures (cmH2O) will be compared among the groups
Lung complianceIntraoperativeLung compliance (mL/cmH2O) will be compared among the groups
End tidal carbon dioxide levelsIntraoperativeEnd tidal carbon dioxide levels (mmHg) will be compared among the groups
Minute ventilationIntraoperativeMinute ventilation (L/minute) will be compared among the groups
Systolic blood pressureIntraoperativeSystolic arterial pressures (mmHg) will be compared among the groups.
Diastolic blood pressureIntraoperativeDiastolic arterial pressures (mmHg) will be compared among the groups.
Mean blood pressureIntraoperativeMean arterial pressures (mmHg) will be compared among the groups.
Heart rateIntraoperativeHeart rate (beat per minute) will be compared among the groups
Acute Postoperative PainPostoperative 24 hoursAcute postoperative pain reported with numeric rating scale (0-10) will be recorded at postoperative 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours with 0 meaning no pain and 10 meaning worst imaginable pain.
Postoperative morphine consumptionPostoperative 24 hoursIntravenous morphine consumption (mg) will be recorded at postoperative 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th and 24th hours
Anesthesia time and operative timeIntraoperativeAnesthesia and operative times wil be recorded as minutes
Intraoperative bleedingIntraoperativeTotal bleeding level estimated by the surgical nurse will be recorded as milliliters at the end of the surgery
Urine outputIntraoperative and daily untill dischargeKidney function will be monitored by using intraoperative and daily postoperative urine output (mL)
Creatinine levelsPreoperative and postoperative (up to one month)Kidney function will be monitored by using daily creatinine levels (mg/dL)
Hemoglobin levelsIntraoperative and daily untill dischargeIntraoperative and daily postoperative hemoglobin levels will be recorded
Need for blood product transfusionIntraoperative and daily untill dischargeBlood product transfusions will be recorded
Number of participants with pulmonary complicationsPostoperative, up to one monthPulmonary complications like atelectasis, pulmonary oedema, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, pneumonia, ventilatory failure will be recorded for each patient. And number of patients with pulmonary complications will be compared among the groups.
Flatus timePostoperative one weekPostoperative time to first flatus will be recorded
Time to oral intakePostoperative 3 daysPostoperative time to oral intake will be recorded
Number of participants with subcutaneous emphysemaPostoperative, up to one monthSubcutaneous emphysema diagnosed with chest radiograph will be recorded
Length of hospital stayPostoperative, up to one monthLength of hospital stay will be recorded as hours
The Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complicationsPostoperative, up to one monthAny postoperative complication will be graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification between I to V with I meaning any deviation from the postoperative course without the need for pharmacological treatment or surgical, endoscopic, and radiological interventions and V meaning death of a patient.
