Brief Summary

The most effective long-term treatment for obesity is bariatric surgery, however, postoperative pain control is challenging in these group of population. Opioid-sparing technique with multimodal analgesia is recommended but the evidence supported is still limited. Multimodal analgesia, particularly lidocaine and ketamine, has been used effectively in various type of surgery. However, the evidence supported their use in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery is limited.

Conditions

Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Opioid consumption

  Opioid consumption at 24 hr post-operation using Morphine Milligram equivalents(MME)

  24-hour

• Score of post-extubation cough

  post-extubation cough graded by care giver using modified Minogue scales, which defined grade1 as no coughing or muscular stiffness, grade 2 as coughing once or twice, or transient cough response to removal of tracheal tube that resolved with extubation, grade 3 as ≤ 3 coughs lasting 1-2 seconds, or total duration of coughing last ≤ 5 seconds and grade 4 as ≥ 4 coughs with each lasting \> 2 seconds, total duration of coughing last \> 5 seconds.

  up to 24 hours (at extubation period after surgery finished)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• operative time

  intraoperative (since the incision started until finished the last suture)

• anesthetic time

  intraoperative (since anesthetic started until patient out of the operating room)

• the length of hospital stay

  until 30-day postoperation

• numbers of participants with postoperative complications

  until 30-day postoperation

• Score of sore throat

  assess at 24-hour post-operation

Study Arms (3)

Lidocaine and Ketamine

Drug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride; Drug: Ketamine

Lidocaine

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will receive only intra-operative ketamine infusion as adjunctive drugs for pain control. All medication is dosed based on calculated lean body weight (LBW) by Janmahasatian formula.

Drug: Lidocaine Hydrochloride; Drug: Placebo

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will receive normal saline, same volume as lidocaine and ketamine.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Lidocaine Hydrochloride DRUG

lidocaine will be given 1.5 mg/kg bolus at induction then 2mg/kg/hr until the end of surgery.

Also known as: Li

Lidocaine; Lidocaine and Ketamine

Ketamine DRUG

Ketamine will be given 0.35 mg/kg bolus at induction then 0.2 mg/kg/hr until the end of surgery.

Also known as: Ke

Lidocaine and Ketamine

Placebo DRUG

Normal saline will be given with the same rate of lidocaine or ketamine.

Also known as: Normal Saline

Lidocaine; Placebo
