NCT03297073

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the 5-day kinetics of plasma paracetamol levels in postoperative major hepatic surgery (resection greater than or equal to three hepatic segments) compared with less extensive liver resection and hepatic re-intervention. The clearance of indocyanine green is a marker of hepatic perfusion but also of the proper hepatocyte functioning, if hemodynamic conditions are stable. Some patients may be operated on up to four or five times in the liver. Moreover, these patients probably present an increased risk of postoperative hepatocellular insufficiency due to a quantitative and qualitative decrease in their hepatic parenchyma. It is therefore interesting to evaluate the use of paracetamol in this situation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Dosing and kinetics of paracetamolemia

    this determination of the plasma paracetamol dosage on D0 (H6: 6 hours after the end of the procedure) and D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 (samples taken at 6 am each day just before the injection of paracetamol whose administration hours will be 6h 12h 18h and midnight)

    during the 5 post-operative days

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Dosage of urinary metabolites of paracetamol (paracetamol sulphate, paracetamol glucuronide)

    At Day 1, day 3, day 5 post operative

  • Dosage of N-acetyl-cysteinyl paracetamol ( NAPQI)

    At Day 1, day 3, day 5 post operative

  • Percentage of patients with paracetamolemia greater than 60 mg / mL

    during the 5 post-operative days

  • Plasma Disappearance Rate of indocyanine green (TDP-ICG) by LiMon®

    At Day 1, day 3, day 5 post operative

  • Rate of postoperative hepatocellular insufficiency

    at day 5

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

Paracetamol 1000 mg will be administered 30 minutes before the end of the procedure and then every 6 hours systematically at the following times: 6h / 12h / 18h / 00h. The analgesic treatment after hepatectomy with paracetamol will be maintained for at least 5 days in all patients in parenteral form
