Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All patients will be using the same brand anesthesia device (dräger perseus A500) and the same brand sodalime.
We will perform monitorization (Electrocardiography, SpO2, noninvasive systolic diastolic blood pressure) in our normal routine protocol before the surgery.
2-3 mg / kg propofol, 1-2 µg / kg fentanyl, 0.6 mg / kg rocuronium , 1 mg/kg lidocaine will be administered intravenously during induction of anesthesia. After 2 minutes the patient will be intubated. We will use desflurane as inhaler anesthetic; nitrogen protoxide will not be used.
ARM1: NORMAL WEIGHT, LOW FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 80%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in normal weight patients (body mass index greater than or equal to 18 and less than 25) . After reaching MAC 1, fresh gas flow will be decreased to 0,5 lt/min and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1. FiO2 will continue as 80%. 15 minutes ago before the surgery has finished, we will close desflurane.
ARM2: OBESE, LOW FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 80%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in obese patients (body mass index greater than or equal to 30) . After reaching MAC 1, fresh gas flow will be decreased to 0,5 lt/min and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1. FiO2 will continue as 80%. 15 minutes ago before the surgery has finished, we will close desflurane.
ARM3: NORMAL WEIGHT, HIGH FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 50%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in normal weight patients. After reaching MAC 1, the fresh gas flow will continue at 2 lt/min (FiO2:50%) and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1.
ARM4: OBESE, HIGH FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 50%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in obese patients. After reaching MAC 1, the fresh gas flow will continue at 2 lt/min (FiO2:50%) and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1.
All patients will be followed by an experienced anesthesiologist for at least 4 years.
The mean duration of surgery is 60 minutes.
Intervention code [1] 301253 0
Treatment: Devices
Comparator / control treatment
We select the high flow group as control group so arm3 and arm4 are our control group. In our country we use high flow anesthesia routinely.
ARM3: NORMAL WEIGHT, HIGH FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 50%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in normal weight patients. After reaching MAC 1, the fresh gas flow will continue at 2 lt/min (FiO2:50%) and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1.
ARM4: OBESE, HIGH FLOW GROUP. The fresh gas flow will be adjusted to 2 lt/ min (FiO2: 50%), desflurane 12% until the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) reached to 1 after intubation in obese patients. After reaching MAC 1, the fresh gas flow will continue at 2 lt/min (FiO2:50%) and desflurane will be adjusted as MAC 1.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
50 obese patients and 50 normal patients will partake in the study. Half of them will undergo low flow anesthesia, half of them will undergo high flow anesthesia. We will decide the sealed opaque envelopes procedure to determine who will be in the low-flow anesthesia group, who will be in the high flow anesthesia group.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomisation table from a statistic book
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
The people receiving the treatment/s

Statistical methods / analysis
The number of participants was determined by evaluating previous studies.
The data will be analyzed with SPSS for Windows version 23.0. Mean, standard deviation in descriptive statistics of continuous variables; categorical variables will be expressed in numbers and percentages. The significance of the difference between groups for categorical variables will be evaluated by Chi-square test. Student's t-test was used for normal distribution in the binary group comparisons, Mann Whitney-U test in the non-normal range, and Krukall Wallis test and Bonferoni correction in more than one group. Correlation of continuous variables will be assessed by Pearson Rho correlation in normal scattering data and Spearman correlation test in normal scattering. A value of p <0.05 will be considered statistically significant

Summary
Brief summary
Low flow anesthesia is widely used in developed countries. There is suspicion about the safety of low-flow anesthesia in anesthesiologists in Turkey, We wanted to compare low-flow anesthesia and high-flow anesthesia in obese and normal-weight patients. to prove that low-flow anesthesia is safe even in laparoscopic surgery in obese patients.
