Brief Summary

Treatment personalization could ensure better outcome than standard procedures. It is particularly important in intensive care units where patients received many drugs and procedures. Their health status can change very fast. The oncologic patients treated in intensive care units are a special group of patients. Factors related to cancer influence extra their health status. The aim of this study is population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic analysis drugs that are routinely used during an analgosedation in ICU oncologic patients. Analgosedation is monitored by drugs plasma concentration, the depth of sedation (bispectral index) and vital parameters like: systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate. Moreover, the TNM Staging System, biochemical parameters, The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification will be checked like potential factors influencing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics drugs used in the study.

Detailed Description

The oncologic patients are qualified to head and neck tumor resection in general anesthesia. The anesthesia introduction is performed with single dose of midazolam, fentanyl, rocuronium and propofol/etomidate. Sevoflurane is used in anesthesia maintenance. Patients are transported to ICU after operation. Then they are kept for several hours in analgosedation. All used drugs are given by intravenous continuous infusion. Oxycodone is an analgesic component of analgosedation. Midazolam, dexmedetomidine and/or propofol are used as sedatives (2-3 drugs in every patient). Whole blood samples (2.0 ml) are collected during the study to measure drugs concentrations - 3-4 times during infusion, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes and 2, 4, 6 hours after the infusion cessation. Vital parameters and bispectral index are monitored during analgosedation and 6 hours after the infusion cessation and noted every 15-60 minutes.

GroupInterventionDescription
Analgosedation in ICU patients after head and neck tumor resection in general anesthesiaInfusion IntravenousHead and neck tumor resections were performed in general anesthesia. Midazolam and etomidate or propofol were used in introduction and then anesthesia was maintenance with sevoflurane. Patients received intravenous continuous infusion of oxycodone as an analgesic component and sedatives (propofol/dexmedetomidine/midazolam) during analgosedation in ICU.
