Brief Summary

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

90 female patients scheduled for cancer breast surgeries will be assigned to 2 groups, each of 45. Group (K) will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine with induction of anaesthesia, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour continued till 24 hours after surgery. Group (KM) will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine added to 50mg/kg magnesium sulfate over 30 minutes after induction of anaesthesia, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour added to 8mg/kg/hour of magnesium sulfate continued till 24 hours after surgery. The same anaesthetic regimen will be applied to all patients. Total intraoperative fentanyl required to maintain mean blood pressure within 20% of its baseline will be recorded. After surgery, all patients will be connected to PCA device containing morphine solution, the amount of morphine consumed during the first 24 hours will be recorded. In the follow-up visits after 3 months, all patients will be assessed for neuropathic pain by DN4 questionnaire.

90 female patients aged between 18 and 65 years, scheduled for cancer breast surgeries will be assigned to 2 groups, each of 45. Group (K) will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine with induction of anaesthesia, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour continued till 24 hours after surgery. Group (KM) will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine added to 50mg/kg magnesium sulfate over 30 minutes after induction of anaesthesia, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour added to 8mg/kg/hour of magnesium sulfate continued till 24 hours after surgery. The same anaesthetic regimen will be applied to all patients. Total intraoperative fentanyl required to maintain mean blood pressure within 20% of its baseline will be recorded.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
The study medications were prepared by a pharmacist who was not involved in the patient management or the data collection. Both the patients and the stuff involved in their management were unaware of the group assignment. Equal rates of the drug infusion and equal volumes of the administered drugs were applied to all patients to ensure double blinding of the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

ketamine group : group (k)

-Ketamine group (group K): will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine during induction of anaesthesia diluted in 100 ml normal saline, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour continued till 24 hours after surgery. The infusion pump concentration will be 0.6mg/ml and the rate of infusion will be 0.2 ml/kg/hour

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ketamine

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will be assigned into 2 groups (each of 45):

Ketamine group (group K): will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine during induction of anaesthesia diluted in 100 ml normal saline, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour continued till 24 hours after surgery. The infusion pump concentration will be 0.6mg/ml and the rate of infusion will be 0.2 ml/kg/hour.

ketamine and magnesium group: group (KM)

\- Ketamine and magnesium group (group KM): will receive a bolus of 0.5 mg/kg ketamine added to 50mg/kg magnesium sulfate diluted in 100 ml normal saline over 30 minutes after induction of anaesthesia, followed by ketamine infusion 0.12 mg/kg/hour added to 8mg/kg/hour of magnesium sulfate continued till 24 hours after surgery. Each ml of the administered infusion will contain 0.6mg ketamine and 40mg magnesium and the rate of infusion will be 0.2 ml/kg/hour.
