Brief Summary

This randomized study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative dexmedetomidine nebulization on blunting hemodynamic response for laryngoscope, intubation and pneumoperitoneum in morbidly obese patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Detailed Description

Dexmedetomidine is an α -2 adrenergic agonist that has been proven to attenuate the hemodynamic response to intubation and pneumoperitoneum along with dose sparing effect on opioids and propofol .It has been used in multiple routes such as intravenous, intramuscular, oral, nasal, or intrathecal routes .Inhalation of nebulized drug is noninvasive and associated with high bioavailability .Nebulized Dexmedetomidine may offer an attractive alternative to both intravenous as well as intranasal routes of administration because drug deposition following nebulization takes place over nasal, buccal, as well as respiratory mucosa.

Control groupSalinePatients of this group will be Nebulized with 3 mL of 0.9% saline 15 minutes before shifting the patients to operation room with face mask 6 L/min in sitting position.
Study groupDexmedetomidinePatients of this group will be Nebulized with Dexmedetomidine (1 mcg/kg) in 3mL of 0.9% saline 15 minutes before shifting the patients to operation room with face mask 6 L/min in sitting position.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemodynamic response to laryngoscope, and pneumoperitoneum.Intraoperative

Heart rate (HR) and non-invasive mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) changes before nebulization, after nebulization, immediately after induction, after intubation at (1-3-6 minutes), post-pneumoperitoneum(T0) then every 15 minutes till end of the surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Degree of sedationJust after nebulization

Ramsay Sedation Scale).

1. Awake; agitated or restless or both.

2. Awake; cooperative, oriented, and tranquil.

3. Awake but responds to commands only.

4. Asleep; brisk response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory.

5. Asleep; sluggish response to light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus.

6. sleep; no response to glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus.

Amount of opioid consumption24 hours postoperative

After assessment of pain scores, when NRS measures more than (3), patients will receive 3 mg morphine, which can be repeated considering that the total daily consumption of morphine never exceeds 20 mg.

Postoperative pain24 hours postoperative

Postoperative pain will be measured using numerical rating scale (NRS) where (0 = no pain, 10 = the worst possible pain), postoperative pain will be assessed 30 minutes postoperatively then at ( 2,4,6,12,18,24 hours).

Amount of fentanyl consumptionIntraoperative

Additional doses of fentanyl (50 mcg) will be given if HR and MAP unexplained increased more than 20% from base line during surgery, and total consumption of fentanyl will be recorded, patients in whom the first attempt of tracheal intubation have failed will be rulled out from the study.
