Overview

Total intravenous general anesthesia and combined general anesthesia are recognized methods used during anesthesia. They allow you to effectively control pain and reduce the number of complications associated with taking large doses of opioid drugs. It should be emphasized that both methods of anesthesia are currently approved for use in routine anesthetic practice, and only the experience, knowledge and preferences of the anesthesiologist determine which technique will be used in a given patient. Both techniques are used in everyday anesthetic practice, but there is no conclusive scientific data confirming the superiority of either method in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, therefore currently only the individual experience, knowledge and preferences of the anesthesiologist determines which technique will be used in a given patient.

Description

Patients undergoing bariatric surgery were randomly divided into two groups: one under complete intravenous anesthesia (infusion of Propofol, Ketamine, Lignocaine and Dexmedetomidine) and the other group under combined general anesthesia (infusion of Ketamine, Lignocaine and Dexmedetomidine and inhalation of Sevoflurane). In the postoperative period, all patients will receive Oxycodone NCA or in the form of oral tablets [naloxone (naloxone hydrochloride) + oxycodone (oxycodone hydrochloride)] and coanalgesics in the form of Paracetamol, Dexac, and Metamizol. Both methods of anesthesia are commonly used and used during bariatric and other surgical procedures. It should be emphasized once again that the above-mentioned all drugs are approved for routine use during anesthesia of patients, including obese patients, and our intervention only involves the use of a specific regimen from among those routinely available. The choice of anesthesia method depends on the anesthesiologist. During the study, we want to randomize patients into two groups: one will be anesthetized using a completely intravenous method, the other will be anesthetized using an inhalation anesthetic. Additionally, a video laryngoscope will be used to intubate half of the people for the first laryngoscopy, and a traditional laryngoscope for half of the patients, half of the patients will be randomized to each group. Both methods of visualizing the larynx and commonly used. Some centers use viedolaryngoskpie only in the case of so-called intubation. "difficult", i.e. one in which the use of a traditional laryngoscope does not allow intubation. Many bariatric surgery centers recommend the use of videolaryngoscopy routinely for the intubation of every bariatric patient. In the postoperative period, patients will have their pain level assessed using the NRS scale 1, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after the procedure.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
