Brief Summary

Using combination of opioid analgesics and analgesics with different mechanism of action the investigators can decrease the consumption of opioid analgesics and their side effects. The investigators will use opioid analgesic fentanyl alone or in combination with dexmedetomidine or lidocaine.The participants scheduled for laparoscopic intestine resection will be divided in three groups: in the first group, the participants will receive single boluses of fentanyl, in the second group, the participants will receive continuous infusion of lidocaine and single boluses of fentanyl, and in the third group, the participants will receive continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine and single boluses of fentanyl. Participants with intraoperative infusion od dexmedetomidine or lidocaine will need less boluses of fentanyl during the operation and less opioid analgesics after the operation in comparison to those who will receive only fentanyl boluses. Better cognitive function after the operation is expected in participants receiving dexmedetomidine infusion. There will be minimal incidence of neuropathic pain because of minimal surgical injury of peripheral nerves in all groups of patients.

    consumption of fentanyl (mg) during the procedure

    time of the operation

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Consumption of Piritramide

    one hour after the operation

  • Neuropathic Pain (Pain Questionnaire) dn4

Study Arms (3)

dexmedetomidine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The investigators will compare fentanyl consumption in participants undergoing laparoscopic intestine resection intra and postoperatively. Dexmedetomidine group will receive dexmedetomidine infusion 0,5 mcg/kg/h beside boluses of fentanyl.

Drug: DexmedetomidineDrug: Fentanyl

lidocaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Lidocaine group will receive lidocaine infusion 1,5 mg/kg/h during the laparoscopic intestine resection.

Drug: LidocaineDrug: Fentanyl

placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The placebo group will receive intravenous infusion of normal saline only.

Other: placeboDrug: Fentanyl

Interventions

The participants will be given infusion of dexmedetomidine 0,5 mcg/kg/h intravenously.

Also known as: Dexdor

Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of our study is that we have not evaluated inflammatory response on the cellular level. This should be investigated in the future studies to establish if dexmedetomidine and lidocaine have clinically important anti-inflammatory effect.
