About this study

Official title: Intraocular Pressure Changes During Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Propofol Versus Desflurane Anesthesia

This study is aimed to evaluate how intraocular pressure (IOP) is changed depending on surgical position (Trendelenburg versus reverse Trendelenburg) in the same patient and to compare the effects of different anesthetics on IOP (desflurane versus propofol) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The study design is a double-blind randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomly assigned to desflurane or propofol administrated groups and all patient are administered intravenous remifentanil continuously as adjuvant analgesics during anesthesia. For this study 50 to 80-year-old patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery without eye disease were enrolled. Mean arterial blood pressure, peak airway pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide, and IOP (using a Tono-pen® Avia tonometer) on both eyes were measured at defined intervals during the procedure.

Read the detailed description

Perioperative visual loss is a rare but devastating complication associated with certain type of operative procedures. Laparoscopic or robotic surgeries for colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and diseases of the female genital organs in the pelvic cavity are performed in a steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum, which increases the intraocular pressure (IOP) by 13-26 mmHg compared with the preoperative IOP value. High intraocular pressure is believed to correlate with decreased perfusion to the optic nerve, and thus could lead to ischemic optic neuropathy. The objective of the study is to test which anesthetic agent (desflurane or propofol) can attenuate the changes in IOP during laparoscopic colorectal surgery and identify correlated parameters. Fifty patients (30-80 years; American Society of Anesthesiologists' physical status 1-2) scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery will be enrolled and allocated randomly into two groups (group D and group P). After measurement of initial IOP with topical opthalmic anesthetics, general anesthesia will be induced with pentothal sodium 5-6mg/kg (group D) or propofol (group P) 2-2.5mg/kg. After administration of muscle relaxant and intubation, intraocular pressure will be measured and anesthesia will be maintained with desflurane (group D) or propofol (group P) and all patients will be administered intravenous remifentanil concurrently during anesthesia. During anesthesia, IOP will be measured at different patient positions. At the time of each IOP measurements, the following data set will be collected: mean arterial pressure (MAP), End tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DesfluraneDrug

    Also called Suprane soln. 240ml/Bottle

    On arrival in the operating room, initial intraocular pressure is measured after administration of alcaine 0.5% eye drop and routine monitoring and bispectral index(BIS) are applied. Anesthesia is induced with pentothal sodium inj (thiopental sodium 0.53g) 5-6mg/kg and esmeron inj (rocuronium bromide 50mg/5ml) 1mg/kg. Then endotracheal intubation is performed, anesthesia is maintained with 50% oxygen-air-4~7% desflurane inhalation and intravenous remifentanil continous infusion (effect site concentration 3-6ng/mL) during operation. Desflurane concentration is titrated to maintain BIS values within a target range 40-60 during operation. Mean arterial blood pressure, peak airway pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide, and IOP on both eyes are measured at defined intervals.

  • PropofolDrug

    Also called Fresofol medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) 2% inj. 50mL

    On arrival in the operating room, initial intraocular pressure is measured after administration of alcaine 0.5% eye drop and routine monitoring and bispectral index(BIS) are applied. Anesthesia is induced with fresofol MCT 1% inj (1% propofol) 1.5-2.5mg/kg and esmeron inj (rocuronium bromide 50mg/5ml) 1mg/kg. Then endotracheal intubation is performed, anesthesia is maintained with intravenous fresofol MCT 2% inj (2% propofol, effect site concentration 2.5-5μg/mL) and remifentanil (effect site concentration 3-6ng/mL) continous infusion. Effect site concentration of propofol is titrated to maintain BIS values within a target range 40-60 during operation. Mean arterial blood pressure, peak airway pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide, and IOP on both eyes are measured at defined intervals.
