NCT01902849

Brief Summary

Knowing the fact that the anesthetic substances can alter the immune response during the surgery, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of two general anesthetic techniques - inhalation vs. total intravenous anesthesia on the immune response in patient with colorectal surgery for neoplastic disease, evaluated by the plasma level of the interleukins 6 and 10(IL6, IL10).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • measurement of interleukins IL6 and IL 10 plasmatic level

    -once the intravenous cannula is inserted

    -before anesthesia induction (T0 time)

  • measurement of interleukins IL6, IL10 plasmatic level

    * in group I (TIVA-TCI) when plasma concentration of propofol is 3-3.5 micrograms/ml * in group II (ISOFLURANE) when concentration of isoflurane in exhaled gases (Et iso) is between 0.3-0.5 %

    after anesthesia induction but before surgical incision (T1)

  • measurement of interleukins IL6 and IL10 plasmatic level

    2 hours postoperatively (T2)

  • measurement of interleukins IL6 and IL 10 plasmatic level

    24 hours postoperatively (T3)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • total opioid analgesic dose (mg)

    for the first 24 hours postoperatively

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Pain score on the visual analog scale (VAS 0-10)

    for the first 24 hour postoperatively

  • incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting episodes requiring antiemetic medication

    for the 24 hours postoperatively

  • total opioid dose of remifentanil (mg ) used during surgery

    an average 3 hours

Study Arms (2)

Group 1 - TIVA-TCI

* include 35 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery * anaesthesia is induced and maintained with total intravenous target-controlled infusion ( TIVA-TCI) of propofol and remifentanil. * for propofol initial target plasma concentration (Cp) is set to 4 micrograms/ml (modified Marsh model)( Base Primea™, Fresenius, France) and then adjusted in steps 0.2 micrograms/ml to maintain the BIS values between 40-55 during surgery. * for Remifentanil initial Cp is set at induction at 4 ng/ml and then the Cp is maintained between 3-8 ng/mL(increments of 0.5 ng/ml in case of inadequate anesthesia). * intervention:blood sampling for IL measurement

Other: blood sampling for IL measurement

Group II- ISOFLURANE

* include 35 patients with colorectal cancer undergoing surgery * anesthesia is induced with propofol bolus 1,5-2 mg/kg and remifentanil TCI mode (Minto model) (Base Primea™, Fresenius, France) with an initial Cp 4 ng/ml * maintenance of anesthesia is achieved with isoflurane 1-1.5 MAC in order to maintain the BIS value between the values of 40-55 and remifentanil TCI with Cp between 3-8 ng/mL (increments of 0.5 ng/ml in case of inadequate anesthesia) * intervention:blood sampling for IL measurement

Other: blood sampling for IL measurement

Interventions

Blood sampling to determine interleukins IL6 , IL10 plasma levels are drawn at the following moments: * T0- before the induction of anesthesia (venous cannula insertion time) * T1- after induction but before starting surgery * In the group I (TIVA -TCI) when the plasma concentration of propofol is 3-3.5 ng/ml * In group II (ISOFLURANE) when concentration of isoflurane in exhaled air (Et Isoflurane) is between 0.3-0.5% * T2, T3- at 2 and 24 hours after surgery

Group 1 - TIVA-TCIGroup II- ISOFLURANE
