Conditions

Change in Serum Levels of the Estimated Inflammatory Cytokines, Total Dose of IO Fentanyl, PO Morphine, Surgeons' Rating, Pain Scores

Keywords

Neuromuscular Blocking, Hysterectomy, cytokines

Brief summary

This study aimed for Determination of the impacts of deep neuromuscular blockade (DNMB) on surgical outcomes, consumption of perioperative opioid analgesia, and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines in comparison to moderate NMB (MNMB).

Detailed description

The primary efficacy point is the extent of change in serum levels of the estimated inflammatory cytokines in PO samples relative to the preoperative levels. The secondary endpoints include the total dose of IO fentanyl and PO morphine, PO pain scores, and surgeons' rating of the surgical conditions.

Interventions

A TOF-Watch® SX-acceleromyograph will be applied to the adductor pollicis muscle and calibrated to monitor response and degree of NMB. Anesthesia will be induced with IV propofol (1.5-2.5 mg/kg) and rocuronium bromide 0.6 mg/Kg, and the trachea will be intubated at train-of-four (TOF) 0. Anesthesia will be maintained with 50% air in oxygen and an end-tidal concentration of 2-3% sevoflurane. In the DNMB group, rocuronium infusion was used to provide 0.48-0.72 mg/kg/h to maintain PTC 0-1.

For patients in the MNMB group, rocuronium will be given as 0.2 mg/kg to maintain a post-tetanic count (PTC) of \>1, and TOF in the range of 0-2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
change in serum levels of the estimated inflammatory cytokinesbefore induction of anesthesia and from the controls. Three PO samples (S2-4) will be obtained immediately at PACU admission, and 24 and 72 hours after surgery.The frozen serum samples will be used to estimate serum biomarkers via a quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique, and the results will be read using a 96-well microplate ELISA reader (Dynatech MR 7000). The studied biomarkers include serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
total dose of IO fentanylIntraoperative period and first 24 hours postoperativetotal dose of IO fentanyl in mg
PO morphineFirst 24 hours postoperativePost operative morphine consumption in mg
Pain scoresImmediately after recovery,2 hours,4,hours ,6 hours ,12 hours,24 hours postoperativePostoperative pain measured by visual analogue scale
Surgeons satisfactionAt the end of surgerythe surgical condition will be described as excellent, good, acceptable, or poor, and will be rated on a 4-point scale
