Different Modalities of Analgesia in Open Heart Surgeries in Mansoura University

Summary

Cardiac surgery is associated with post-operative pain which is one of the major problems and remains one of the most controversial issues. Inadequate pain control after cardiac surgery increases the incidence of development of many complications. Intravenous opioids are commonly used for postoperative analgesia either on demand "physician or nurse-controlled" or patient -controlled.

Multimodal opioid sparing analgesia has become frequently used, These techniques can be achieved with Dexmedetomidine, low-dose ketamine and magnesium.

The study hypotheses that control of perioperative quality of pain with opioid sparing medications may improve analgesia and patient outcome.

Interventions

DRUG

Fentanyl

* Induction of anesthesia : Midazolam 2 mg, Fentanyl 3 µg/kg, propofol 50-100 mg and Atracurium 0.5 mg/kg. * Maintenance of anesthesia (intraoperative until tracheal extubation): Maintenance will be achieved by isoflurane with concentration 0.5-1.5 % with 40% oxygen. During cardiopulmonary bypass by continuous infusion of Propofol at a rate of 2 mg/kg/hr. and Atracurium at a rate of 10 g/kg/min. * The patients will receive fentanyl infusion at a rate of 1 µg/kg/h and fentanyl bolus 20-40 µg according to patient hemodynamics. (tachycardia: increase of heart rate \>20% of baseline or hypertension: increase of blood pressure \>20% of baseline). * After tracheal extubation: all the patients will receive standard analgesia (i.v. paracetamol 1 gm every 12 hours and i.v. ketorolac 30 mg every 12 hours) and morphine patient controlled analgesia with bolus dose = 2 mg, lockout interval = 10 minutes, 4-hour dose limit = 10 mg, with no background infusion.

DRUG

Fentanyl, Propofol

* Induction of anesthesia : Midazolam 2 mg, Fentanyl 3 µg/kg, propofol 50-100 mg and Atracurium 0.5 mg/kg. * Maintenance of anesthesia (intraoperative until tracheal extubation): Maintenance of anesthesia will be achieved by isoflurane with concentration 0.5-1.5 % with 40% oxugen. During cardiopulmonary bypass by continuous infusion of Propofol at a rate of 2 mg/kg/hr. and Atracurium at a rate of 10 g/kg/min. * The patients will receive fentanyl bolus 20 µg/hr and propofol 20 mg at the time of surgical stimulation and according to patient hemodynamics (repeated as required). * After tracheal extubation: all the patients will receive standard analgesia (i.v. paracetamol 1 gm every 12 hours and i.v. ketorolac 30 mg every 12 hours) and morphine patient controlled analgesia with bolus dose = 2 mg, lockout interval = 10 minutes, 4-hour dose limit = 10 mg, with no background infusion.

DRUG

Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, Magnesium sulfate

* Induction of anesthesia : Midazolam 2 mg, Fentanyl 3 µg/kg, propofol 50-100 mg and Atracurium 0.5 mg/kg. * Maintenance of anesthesia (intraoperative until tracheal extubation): Maintenance of anesthesia will be achieved by isoflurane with concentration 0.5-1.5 % with 40% oxygen. During cardiopulmonary bypass by continuous infusion of Propofol at a rate of 2 mg/kg/hr. and Atracurium at a rate of 10 g/kg/min. * The patients will receive infusions of dexmedetomidine 0.2 µg/kg/h, ketamine 2 µg/kg/min, and magnesium sulfate 5 mg/kg/h. * After tracheal extubation: all the patients will receive standard analgesia (i.v. paracetamol 1 gm every 12 hours and i.v. ketorolac 30 mg every 12 hours) and morphine patient controlled analgesia with bolus dose = 2 mg, lockout interval = 10 minutes, 4-hour dose limit = 10 mg, with no background infusion.
