Study summary

Determine the incidence of early post-operative hypoventilation in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under opioid-sparing compared with sevoflurane-based anesthesia.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of early postoperative hypoxemia in the literature is diverse, this may be due to multivariable, including patient-related factors, anesthesia-related factors, and surgery-related factors. Because of the controverse regarding the incidence of postoperative hypoxemia and the evidence of anesthetic technique of choice, interest in prevention and early management of early postoperative hypoxemia after laparoscopic bariatric surgery is continued.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Opioid-sparing based anesthesia

    Intraoperative opioid-sparing maintenance comprised dexmedetomidine bolus dose of 1 mcg/kg followed by 0.3 mcg/kg/h, propofol 4-8 mg/kg/h and ketamine 25 mg/h for a max of 50 mg during the procedure, targeting bispectral index (BIS) between 45%-60%. The lean body weight will be used for calculation of the drugs.

    Drug: Opioid-sparing based anesthesia

  • Active comparator
    Sevoflurane-based anesthesia

    Intraoperative sevoflurane-based anesthesia, 0.8 to 1.0 Minimum alveolar concentration will be used combined with fentanyl 1 mcg/kg followed by 1 -2 mcg/kg/h and cis-atracurium, to keep bispectral index between 45% to 60%.

    Drug: Sevoflurane-based anesthesia

Interventions

  • Intraoperative opioid-sparing maintenance comprised dexmedetomidine bolus dose of 1 mcg/kg followed by 0.3 mcg/kg/h, propofol 4-8 mg/kg/h and ketamine 25 mg/h for a max of 50 mg during the procedure, targeting bispectral index (BIS) between 45%-60%. The lean body weight will be used for calculation of the drugs.

  • Intraoperative sevoflurane-based anesthesia, 0.8 to 1.0 Minimum alveolar concentration will be used combined with fentanyl 1 mcg/kg followed by 1 -2 mcg/kg/h and cis-atracurium, to keep bispectral index between 45% to 60%.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of Early postoperative hypoventilation

    Early postoperative respiratory hypoventilation will be defined by any of the following parameters: Oxygen saturation \< 95% for 10 seconds. Respiratory rate \< 8 breath/min. Apnea spill \> 10 seconds. pain/sedation-mismatch.

    Time frame: UP to 24 hours Postoperatively

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 27, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
