Summary
The present study is a pilot study aiming to compare the variation in central temperature
(measured through the non-invasive device Spot-OnTM3MTM) in patients submitted to loco
regional anesthesia for orthopedic procedures, during sedation with midazolam vs propofol.
There are currently no trials pertaining to the study of central temperature in locoregional
anesthesia, giving the fact that till recently there was no device that could measure it
non-invasively.
Clinical Details
Official title: Central Temperature Variations During Midazolam vs Propofol Sedation for Loco Regional Anesthesia
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
Primary outcome: Mean temperature
Secondary outcome: Level of sensory block, T1-12/L1-5, assessed by a blunted needle
Detailed description:
In this study the investigators will select 20 patients scheduled for orthopedic surgery of
the knee or foot with neuraxial anesthesia (subarachnoid or sequential blocks). Sedation for
these procedures with midazolam or propofol is daily practice in the investigators'
department.
So the patients will be randomized, through the envelope method, in 2 groups with 10
patients each: "midazolam group" and "propofol group".
In the "midazolam group" the investigators will administer 0,05mg/kg of midazolam, being 2/3
administered before the neuraxial block and 1/3 after.
In the "propofol group" the investigators will administer 0,033mg/kg of midazolam before the
neuraxial block, and immediately after installation of the block the investigators will
start a propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) pump (Schnider model) with an effect
concentration set at 1mcg/mL. This pump will be turned off at the end of the surgery.
The neuraxial block will be performed inside the operating room and preferentially in
lateral decubitus. The choice of drug and dosage used for the block will be left to the
anesthesiologist, to mimetize day-to-day practice. The limit dermatome of sensory block will
be noted.
The investigators will administer to every patient: cefazolin 2g iv bolus, ketorolac 30 mg
iv bolus, pantoprazole 40 mg iv bolus, paracetamol 1g iv perfusion (initiated 30 minutes
before the end of surgery).
Central temperature will be monitored with the SpotOnTM3MTM device from entering till
leaving the operating room, through a sensor placed in the patient's forehead. Room
temperature will be kept at 17 degrees Celsius (ºC). Patients will be warmed with a
underbody forced-air blanket (BairHuggerTM3MTM) set at 38ºC and maximal flow, initiated
after performing the neuraxial block and stopped right before leaving the operating room.
Data will be analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program.
