Intraoperative TIVA With Propofol on Postoperative Pain and Side Effects After Liver Resection Surgery

May 14, 2024 updated by: Dr. Chi-Wai Cheung, The University of Hong Kong

Retrospective Study to Investigate Intraoperative TIVA With Propofol on Postoperative Pain and Side Effects After Liver Resection Surgery

Postoperative pain can be severe after liver resection surgery. However, postoperative pain management may be difficult for this group of patients. Opioidergic neurotransmission may be altered in cirrhotic patients and selectively increasing receptor affinity for opioids. Large dose of strong opioid may be required to achieve adequate pain control. However, this may not be possible due to the side effect of opioid and liver dysfunction after liver resection.

Propofol is a commonly used anaesthetic with rapid recovery and less side effects and TIVA (total intravenous analgesia) with propofol is a common technique now. The reduction on certain serum pro- inflammatory cytokines may lead to more smooth post- surgical recovery.

Recent case report proved the analgesic effect of propofol infusion. However other animal and clinical studies showed controversial result.

The aim of this retrospective study is to investigate the postoperative analgesic effects and side effects of intraoperative TIVA with propofol in patient undergoing liver resection surgery at Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong between 2010 to 2012.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Retrospective audit.

Anaesthetic records and acute pain service records of patient undergone liver resection surgery between 2010 to 2012 in Queen Mary Hospital would be retrieved from the computer.

Data Collection

  1. Demographic data;
  2. Types of analgesic techniques;
  3. Type of pain relief modalities;
  4. Pain score up to 72 hours postoperatively;
  5. Postoperative opioid consumption;
  6. Incidence of adverse events during APS care;
  7. Patients' satisfaction on pain relief.

Data Analysis For summarising analysis, mean or median with standard deviation or interquartile range will be reported. Parametric and non-parametric comparative tests will be used for analysis between/among patients with various characteristics. Kaplan Meier survival analysis and log-rank test will be used for duration of APS use.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

How is the study designed?

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Postoperative pain score
Time Frame: From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour
From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Adverse event
Time Frame: From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour
From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Analgesic consumption
Time Frame: From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour
From postoperative 1 hour to postoperative 72 hour
