Is Postoperative Quality of Recovery After Radical Prostatectomy Related to the Type of Anesthesia and Analgesia?
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Epidural anesthesia with light general anesthesia, Postoperative epidural analgesia, and 2 other interventions for Anesthesia and 8 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) could be related to anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. This study is exploring early QoR after radical prostatectomy in the two groups of anesthesia. The first group had a light general anesthesia with lumbal epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and ropivacaine. The second group had general anesthesia and a continuous postoperative analgesia with tramadol. The postoperative QoR was evaluated 24 hours after surgery.

Timeline
Interventions
Epidural anaesthesia: mixture of ropivacaine 6.5 mg/ ml and fentanyl 8.3 μg/ml. Light general anesthesia: isoflurane in mixture of 50/50 of nitrous oxide and oxygen to achieve Minimum alveolar concentration between 0.6 and 0.8.
Before the end of operation was given 4 ml of the mixture of ropivacaine 4.4 mg/ml and morphine 0.8mg/ ml. Epidural analgesia was continued for next 24 hours with a mixture of ropivacaine 2.2 mg/ml and morphine 0.4 mg/ml.
Maintaining general anesthesia: nitrous oxide and oxygen in mixture 50/50 and isoflurane to achieve minimum alveolar concentration between 0.8 and 1. Fentanyl loading dose: 6-8 μg/kg. Additional fentanyl doses were given incrementally.
Tramadol 100 mg in the first hour followed by tramadol 300 mg continuously for the next 24 hours.
