Abstract
Study objective
Evaluate the impact of deep neuromuscular blockade on intraoperative nociception Deep neuromuscular blockade has been shown to improve surgical conditions and postoperative outcomes compared to moderate neuromuscular blockade in laparoscopic surgery. Still, its impact on intraoperative nociception and opioid requirement has never been assessed.
Design
Monocentric randomised controlled trial.
Setting
Operating room.
Patients
We included 100 ASA I to III patients who underwent colorectal laparoscopic surgery with desflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.
Interventions
Patients were randomised into two groups to achieve either moderate (1–3 train of four response) or deep (1–2 post-tetanic count) neuromuscular block (NMB) with repeated boluses of rocuronium. The Nociception Level (NOL) index guided intraoperative remifentanil administration in both groups.
Measurements
The primary endpoint was total intraoperative remifentanil administration per hour of surgery. Secondary endpoints included, Leiden Surgical Rating Scale (L-SRS), intra-abdominal pressure, postoperative pain scores and opioids' consumption.
Main results
Ninety-three patients were analysed. Forty-five in the deep group and 48 patients in moderate group. Intraoperative administration of remifentanil was 348 (228–472) μg.h−1 in the deep NMB group compared to 494 (392–618) μg.h−1 in the moderate NMB group (P < 0.001). Lowest L-SRS was 5 (4–5) in the deep NMB group versus 3 (2–5) (P < 0.001) in the moderate NMB group. Mean intra-abdominal pressure was 11.9 (1.3) in the deep NMB group versus 13 (1.3) (P < 0.001) in the moderate NMB group. Secondary postoperative outcomes including pain scores and analgesics administration were not significantly different.
Conclusions
This study shows that deep neuromuscular blockade reduces intraoperative NOL-guided administration of remifentanil in colorectal laparoscopic surgeries. It also improves surgical conditions.
Trial registration
The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov under NCT03910998.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
