Randomized Controlled Trial of Epidural-General Anesthesia Versus General Anesthesia for Open Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Influence on Complications and Overall Two Year Survival
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Propofol+ Rocuronium+ Fentanyl 2 mcg/kg+ Inhalational Agent, Bupivacaine 0.125% + Fentanyl 5 mcg/ml, Propofol+ Rocuronium+ Fentanyl + Inhalational, and 1 other intervention for Pancreatic Cancer. Completed, enrolled 133 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if there is a difference in complications in patients who have an epidural started earlier (during their surgery) and used as part of the anesthetic in addition to using it for post operative pain compared with patients who receive an epidural later in the surgery to be used only for post operative pain.
