Brief Summary

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

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare general anesthesia VS two types of combined anesthesia in opioid consumption after laparoscopic hysterectomy

Detailed Description

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

Managing post-operative pain is essential to reduce length of stay, complications, mortality, healthcare costs and the risk of readmission to hospital. At the same time, pain treatment, especially with opiod drugs, could cause side effects and worsen the quality of post-operative hospitalization. Furthermore, intrathecal fentanyl may cause an acute tolerance to opioids, and may worsen postoperative analgesia. In literature, some studies underline how the use of regional anesthesia represents an effective solution in pain control. The goal of this study would be to determine whether post-operative analgesic needs and pain levels are increased by mixing intrathecal fentanyl with spinal anesthesia and intrathecal morphine.

Study Groups

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

study intervention with spinal anesthesia composed by local anesthetic, morphine and no fentanyl

Every patient will receive, before induction of general anesthesia as in control group, a spinal anesthesia composed by hyperbaric bupivacaine 5 mg 0,5% and morphine sulfate 100 mcg.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

General Anesthesia + Spinal anesthesia combined (local anesthetic, morfine and no fentanyl)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

General anesthesia + spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic and morfine

study intervention with spinal anesthesia composed by local anesthetic, morphine and 20 mcg fentanyl

every patient will receive, before induction of general anesthesia, as in the control group, a spinal anesthesia composed by hyperbaric bupivacaine 5 mg 0,5%, morphine sulfate 100 mcg and fentanyl 20 mcg.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

General Anesthesia + Spinal anesthesia combined (local anesthetic, morfine and 20 mcg fentanyl)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

General anesthesia + spinal anesthesia with local anesthetic, morfine and fentanyl

study intervention NO spinal

Every patient will receive a general anesthesia induced with propofol (1.5-2.5 mg/kg, individually adjusted), rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) for muscle relaxation and a continuous infusion of remifentanil (0.05-0.3 mcg/kg/min, depending on the clinical characteristics of the patient). General anesthesia was maintained with a continuous infusion of propofol (4-8 mg/kg/h), and the infusion of remifentanil which was started with the induction. Fractionated doses of rocuronium were administered based on TOF monitoring (train of four) to maintain muscle relaxation.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
