Summary

A comparison of post-operative opioid use in Laparoscopic Colectomy patients receiving Opioid or Opioid-free Anesthesia.

Detailed description

The study population will be composed of 100 patients total, 50 opioid-free anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients and 50 opioid anesthesia laparoscopic colectomy patients at Tampa General Hospital. After consent is obtained patients will be electronically randomized using REDCap in a 1:1 ratio and assigned to a opioid anesthesia or opioid free anesthesia group. Patients will also consent to be asked survey questions preoperatively and be followed for 12 months postoperatively at specific intervals to evaluate pain, satisfaction, and opioid prescription use. This will be done through a data mining platform and service known as REDCap. REDCap is partnered with USF to allow for subject management, data collection and the distribution of surveys via mobile phone. All data collected by REDCap is stored on a HIPPA compliant server. Patients will receive automated push notifications to their mobile phones to fill out surveys regarding their pill usage, pain, and satisfaction for a year or until cessation of opioid use is confirmed. Confirmation of opioid cessation will be performed on a case by case basis by the principal investigator, Dr. Camporesi. In addition to the surveys performed, nausea and pain scores will be collected prospectively from observation in the PACU

Conditions

• Analgesic Drug Dependence
• Colectomy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Opioid Anesthesia	Doses/concentration of medications/agents used for the anesthetic management of the subjects enrolled in this trial may be adjusted when necessary to provide optimal subject care. Anesthesia will be induced with rocuronium, propofol, intravenous opioids, and other medication(s)/agent(s) at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject. Depth of anesthesia will be measured with BIS-monitoring and a standard approaching 50% suppression will be maintained throughout the main duration of surgery. Reversal agent will be administered at a post-tetanic count of 1 or 2. Anesthesia will be maintained with IV opioids, propofol and/or medication(s)/agent(s), including inhalation anesthetic agents, at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject. Tracheal extubation will be performed at the end of anesthesia after administration of reversal agent. After extubation, the investigator will determine when the subject is OR discharge ready.
DRUG	Opioid-free Anesthesia	Doses/concentration of medications/agents used for the anesthetic management of the subjects enrolled in this trial may be adjusted when necessary to provide optimal subject care. Acetaminophen 1g will be given prior to induction. Anesthesia will be induced with rocuronium 1mg, propofol 3-6 mg/kg, and succinylcholine 1.5 mg/kg Depth of anesthesia will be measured with BIS-monitoring and a standard approaching 50% suppression will be maintained throughout the main duration of surgery. Reversal agent will be administered at a post-tetanic count of 1 or 2. Anesthesia will be maintained with Sevoflurane, Magnesium, Lidocaine, Ketamine, Decadron, Ondansetron, and Ketorolac at a concentration range/dose(s) based on the clinical need of the subject. Tracheal extubation will be performed at the end of anesthesia after administration of reversal agent. After extubation, the investigator will determine when the subject is OR discharge ready.
