Brief Summary

The introduction of the laparoscopic technique for cholecystectomy significantly reduced the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain, with improvement in other markers, such as patient satisfaction, and reduction in hospital stay. However, pain in the postoperative period of laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still a concern that challenges modern anesthesiology. Ketamine and magnesium sulfate are two blockers of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors with the ability to reduce postoperative pain and postoperative opioid consumption. A frequent concern among anesthesiologists is the quality and time of awakening in patients receiving these medications The main objective of this trial is to compare the quality and time of awakening in patients receiving magnesium sulfate or ketamine. The secondary objective is to compare postoperative analgesia during the postoperative hospital stay. Hypothesis: Our hypothesis is that patients have a faster awakening when they receive magnesium sulfate as an analgesic adjunct, when compared to patients who receive ketamine . Design: this is a prospective, controlled, covered and randomly distributed trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Time for awakening

    Time, after the end of anesthetic administration, to get the bispectral index (BIS) \> 60.

    Three hours

  • Awakening quality

    Questions related to name, place, time, reason for hospitalization and verbal learning test, consisting of 15 words that the patient will be asked to repeat 20 minutes after hearing them. The wrong answers will be compared among groups.

    Three hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Postoperative pain

    Two days

  • Postoperative analgesia

    Two days

Masking Details
The person responsible for generating the sequence will use the result of the lottery to number the opaque envelopes and place the intervention corresponding to the group to which that lottery number belongs. This professional will not administer anesthesia to the patients in the study and will not participate in the collection or evaluation of the studied variables. The envelopes will be opened by professionals who will prepare the corresponding solution, keeping this information covered for the other members of the team and for the patients. The groups will be covered up for patients and for professionals who carry out the assessments.
