NCT06784258

Brief Summary

Surgery can increase IL-6 cytokines, triggering inflammation and metastasis. The combination of general and epidural anesthesia has the potential to suppress IL-6, improve the tumor microenvironment, provide analgesia, and enhance postoperative recovery. Objectives :To compare the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia quality in colorectal cancer patients receiving general anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Reduce Interleukin 6 differences

    Interleukin 6 will be collected before surgery and 6 hours after surgery by the anesthesiologist in the Operating theatre.

    before surgery and 6 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Reduce VAS pain scale

Study Arms (2)

Control Group : Conventinal General Anesthesia

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients in the control group will undergo conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg body weight, propofol 2-3 mg/kg body weight, and a muscle relaxant for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg body weight or rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg body weight. Afterward, the patient will undergo intubation. Before anesthesia, 2-3 mL of blood will be collected. After the operation is complete the patient will be extubated and blood samples will be taken 6 hours after surgery, VAS (Visual Analog Scale) will be assessed 24 hours postoperatively, and QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15) will be evaluated postoperatively. The patient will be given opioid analgesics (Morphine dose 0.5-1 mg/hour given continuously or Fentanyl dose 10-50/hour mcg given continuously), Ketorolac 30 mg every 8 hours intravenously and Paracetamol 500 mg every 6 hours orally

Procedure: General Anesthesia (control group)

Experimental Group : Conventinal General Anesthesia Combine with Epidural Anesthesia

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the experimental group will undergo conventional general anesthesia combine with epidural anesthesia. The patient will undergo epidural anesthesia first with an epidural catheter, the general anesthesia with intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg body weight, propofol 2-3 mg/kg body weight, and a muscle relaxant for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg body weight or rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg body weight. Afterward, the patient will undergo intubation. Before anesthesia, 2-3 mL of blood will be collected. After the operation is complete the patient will be extubated and blood samples will be taken 6 hours after surgery, VAS (Visual Analog Scale) will be assessed 24 hours postoperatively, and QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery-15) will be evaluated postoperatively. The patietn will be given Epidural analgesic Bupivacaine 0.1% + Morphine 0.5 mg volume 10 mL every 12 hours, Ketorolac 30 mg every 8 hours + Paracetamol 500 mg every 6 hours orally

Procedure: General Anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia

Interventions

The patient will undergo conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg BW, propofol 2-3 ml/kg BW, and muscle relaxants for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg BW or rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg BB. After that the patient will be intubated

Control Group : Conventinal General Anesthesia

The patient will undergo epidural anesthesia first with an epidural catheter inserted through a Tuohy needle and ensuring that the length of the multihole epidural catheter that enters the epidural space is 5-6 cm. After that, the patient underwent conventional general anesthesia with a regimen of intravenous fentanyl 1-2 mcg/kg BW, propofol 2-3 ml/kg BW, and muscle relaxants for intubation, such as atracurium 0.5 mg/kg BW or rocuronium 0.6 mg/ kg BW. After that the patient will be intubated. The patient will be given local anesthesia Bupivacaine 0.25% in increments to the desired volume according to the desired height of the segmental block. Local anesthetic medication will be given intermittently every 2 hours
