Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of methadone versus morphine in dealing
with postoperative pain, in laparoscopic cholecystectomy under total intravenous anesthesia
(TIVA); Efficacy is defined in terms of the difference of milligrams in morphine used as
rescue analgesia postoperatively. Our hypothesis is that methadone is more effective than
morphine for postoperative pain treatment.
Clinical Details
Official title: Efficacy Methadone for Management Postoperative Pain After the Use of Anesthesia Intravenous in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Difference in milligrams of morphine used as rescue analgesia
Secondary outcome: Difference in pain scores, using the Numeric Rating Scale
Detailed description:
Patients undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Almirante Nef Naval Hospital will be
recruited, between March and July 2013. The sample size was calculated to obtain an average
difference of 4 mg of morphine (DE 1. 5) to 3 mg of morphine (DE 1. 5), with a power of 80%
and a significance level of 0. 05. This came down to 36 randomized patients into each group,
so 86 patients will be recruited considering a 15% loss to follow up.
Before signing an informed consent, we will explain to them how to classify pain intensity
numerical rating scale (NRS) and this will be evaluated periodically during the first 24
hours after surgery.
General anesthesia will be based on Remifentanil and Propofol, titrated to achieve
bispectral index (BIS) between 40 and 60. Patients will be randomized into methadone group
(ME) and morphine group (MO), they will receive 0. 08 mg / kg bolus of methadone or 0. 08 mg /
kg bolus of morphine as applicable at the time of beginning surgery. Postoperative analgesia
will be standard for both groups. Patient´s demographic data will be filed as well as
surgical timings.
All patients will remain in the anesthetic recovery room for the first two hours , to get a
record taken of vital signs and measurement of NRS at 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. If NRS
is greater than or equal to 4, 1 mg of morphine ev will be used as analgesic rescue. In room
measuring NRS continue hospitalized at 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively and were used
as rescue analgesia if ketorolac 30mg ev NRS is greater than or equal to 4. The amount of
morphine is registered and ketorolac rescue of both groups as well as pain assessment
scores. The occurrence of adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, urinary
retention and respiratory depression is also recorded in both groups, to be compared later
as a secondary objective.
