Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to assess if different anesthetic techniques can affect coagulant factors in patients with prostate cancer undergoing elective laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The utility of anti-thrombotic prophylaxis in cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is still controversial. Moreover, different anaesthetic techniques could modify coagulant factors. Thus, in this study we will be to investigate the variations of pro- and anti-coagulant and fibrinolytic factors in two established types of anaesthesia in patients with prostate cancer undergoing elective LRP.

Study Groups

Balanced (BAL) anaesthesia

In the BAL group anaesthesia is induced with midazolam 0.1mg kg-1 and fentanyl 1.5 μg kg- 1 Anaesthesia is maintained with sevoflurane 2.0% , oxygen 40% and air 70% with positive pressure ventilation in a circle system, in order to achieve normocapnia.

Fentanyl

Intervention Type DRUG

Sevoflurane

Intervention Type DRUG

Totally Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA-TCI)

In the TIVA-TCI group anaesthesia is induced with propofol 6 microg ml-1 and remifentanyl 0.4-1 microg kg-1 min, simultaneously administered using two separate modules of a continuous computer-assisted TCI system. Anaesthesia is maintained with propofol 4 microg ml-1 and remifentanil 0.25 microg Kg-1 min. This infusion is modified by 0.05 microg kg-1 min steps according to analgesic needs.
