NCT05742438

Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled trial. Investigators aimed to compare the effect of three different anesthetic adjuvants (continuous infusion of lidocaine or dexmedetomidine, intrathecal morphine injection) on the biomarker for cancer recurrence and metastasis. Patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer surgery will be randomly allocated to three parallel arms and the biomarkers for cancer recurrence and metastasis, inflammation, and immune response will be compared. And we will compare the clinical outcomes in the three method.

Study Arms (3)

Lidocaine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A loading dose of 1.5mg/kg lidocaine will be infused for 10 minutes during anesthesia induction. During the surgery and post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, 1.5 mg/kg/h of lidocaine were continuously infused until the patient was transferred to the general ward.

Drug: Lidocaine IV

Dexmedetomidine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A loading dose of 0.3mcg/kg dexmedetomidine will be infused for 10 minutes during anesthesia induction. During the surgery and PACU stay, 0.3 mcg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine were continuously infused until the patient was transferred to the general ward.

Drug: Dexmedetomidine IV

Intrathecal Morphine group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

200\~300mcg of Intrathecal morphine will be injected at the anesthesia induction for colorectal surgery.

Drug: intrathecal morphine
