Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to verify whether an Opioid-free Anesthesia (OFA) could effectively reduce the incidence of PONV after thoracoscopic-assisted surgery compared with standard general anesthesia (OA) regimens.

Detailed Description

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

Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) is one of the most common complications after general anesthesia, which significantly reduces postoperative comfort and satisfaction of patients perioperatively. Meta-analysis showed that Opioid-free Anesthesia (OFA) significantly reduced the risk of postoperative PONV events in patients undergoing gynecology, breast, and abdominal surgery compared with standard general anesthesia (OA). The main hypothesis of the study is that an OFA could reduce the incidence of PONV in patients after thoracoscopic-assisted surgery than OA.

Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA froup)

Opioid-free anesthesia group, avoid patients receive any kind of opioid during VATs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Opioid-free general anesthesia protocol:

After entering the operating room, patients were given dexamethasone (5mg i.v.), atropine (0.25mg i.v.), flurbiprofen (50mg i.v.), dexmedetomidine (0.5ug/kg i.v. in 15min), and ultrasound-guided T4-5 paravertebral nerve block (0.5% Ropivacaine 20ml).

Induction of anesthesia with lidocaine (1.5mg/kg i.v.), propofol (2-3mg/kg, i.v.), rocuronium (6-8mg i.v.).

Intraoperative anesthesia was maintained by desflurane (0.5-1MAC), continuous intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine (0.5ug/kg/h), and lidocaine (1.5mg/kg/h).

Flurbiprofen (50 mg i.v.) given at the time of skin suture.

Standard general anesthesia (OA)

Standard general anesthesia. Opioids allowed, including sufentanil, remifentanil, tramadol during VATs.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard general anesthesia (OA)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Standard general anesthesia protocol:

After entering the operating room, patients were given dexamethasone (5mg i.v.), atropine (0.25mg i.v.), flurbiprofen (50mg i.v.).

Induction of anesthesia with lidocaine (1.5mg/kg i.v.), sufentanil (0.3-0.4ug/kg), propofol (2-3mg/kg, i.v.), rocuronium (6-8mg i.v. ).

Intraoperative anesthesia was maintained by desflurane (0.5-1MAC) and continuous intravenous infusion of remifentanil (0.1-0.2ug/kg/min).

Flurbiprofen (50 mg i.v.) given at the time of skin suture.
