Summary

The effective management of post-operative pain in the setting of bariatric surgery presents significant hurdles for both anesthesiologists and surgeons. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) using the modified mulimix technique on the levels of plasma interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as the primary outcome. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the duration of analgesia and the analgesic requirements within the first twenty-four hours after surgery.

Detailed description

Objectives: The effective management of post-operative pain in the setting of bariatric surgery presents significant hurdles for both anesthesiologists and surgeons. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) using the modified mulimix technique on the levels of plasma interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) as the primary outcome. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate the duration of analgesia and the analgesic requirements within the first twenty-four hours after surgery. Methods: 60 patients were systematically selected and randomly assigned to Group A (OFA) and Group B (Opioid-Containing Anesthesia, OCA), with the modified Mulimix technique employed. Serum samples were collected from all patients, both at the onset of the skin incision and after the surgical procedure. These samples were then used to assess interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. Additionally, the post-operative analgesic consumption was documented.

Conditions

• Opioid Use

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	opioid-FREE anesthesia.	They received opioid-free anesthesia. These patients were provided a multimodal combination infusion. The administration of this infusion commenced at a dosage of 0.2 micrograms per kilogram per hour of dexmedetomidine. The "Modified Mulimix" cocktail, consisting of dexmedetomidine at a concentration of 10 ug/ml, Ketamine at a concentration of 2.5 mg/ml, and Lignocaine at a concentration of 20 mg/ml, was administered to a patient weighing 100 kg and if the weight is 110 Kg the rate will be increased by 10 percent, etc.,
DRUG	opioid-CONTAINING anesthesia.	The process of inducing anesthesia included the injection of fentanyl at a dosage of 2 micrograms per kilogram during the induction phase. Additionally, morphine was administered at a dose of 0.03 milligrams per kilogram at the time of port insertion.
