Pregabalin in the Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG).

September 12, 2024 updated by: Medical University of Warsaw

The Effect of Preemptive Oral Pregabalin As an Element of Multimodal Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. a Randomized, Prospective, Double Blind Study.

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess preemptive oral pregabalin administration in the obese patients undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. The main aims of the study are to evaluate postoperative pain treatment and effect on the intraoperative hemodynamical stability.

The participants will be divided into 2 groups: with or without preemptive pregabalin administration.

Detailed Description

Pregabalin is a GABA analogue that has analgesic, anxiolytic and effects. There are studies indicating that this drug can be used as an element of multimodal analgesia to decrease opioid requirements in postoperative period. Such an effect would be particularly beneficial for patients with obesity scheduled for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, most commonly performed bariatric surgery.

The investigators hypothesized that preemptive pregabalin administration may improve quality of postoperative pain score with less incidence of opioid side effects as well as similar or better intraoperative hemodynamical stability.

Time Frame: Day "0", assessed 24 hours after operation
QoR-40 (Quality of Recovery) scale is used to measure the quality of recovery after surgery and anesthesia, it is a 40 item questionnaire that provides a score across five dimensions: patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence, and pain. Formulary will assess first 24 hours following the operation. Maximal score is 200, higher result is associated with better quality of recovery.
Day "0", assessed 24 hours after operation
