NCT02502877

Brief Summary

The present study is a pilot study aiming to compare the variation in core temperature (measured through the non-invasive device Spot-OnTM3MTM) in patients submitted to neuraxial anesthesia for orthopedic procedures, during sedation with midazolam vs propofol.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Mean temperature

    Comparison between the mean temperature in the two groups

    From entering the operating room up to cutaneous closure, an expected average of 1 to 1.5 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Level of sensory block, T1-12/L1-5, assessed by a blunted needle

    From 5 to 10 minutes after the performance of the neuraxial block

Study Arms (2)

Midazolam Group

OTHER

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.

Drug: MidazolamDrug: StandardDevice: SpotOn

Propofol group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

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 TCI pump (Schnider model) with an effect concentration set at 1mcg/mL. This pump will be turned off at the end of the surgery.

Drug: PropofolDrug: StandardDevice: SpotOn

Interventions

The investigators will administer 0,05mg/kg of midazolam, being 2/3 administered before the neuraxial block and 1/3 after.

Also known as: A
Midazolam 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 TCI pump (Schnider model) with an effect concentration set at 1mcg/mL. This pump will be turned off at the end of the surgery.

Also known as: B
Propofol group

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).

Midazolam GroupPropofol group
SpotOnDEVICE

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
