- Brief Summary
This study is designed to compare between intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine and intravenous infusion of lidocaine in reduction of proinflammatory cytokines as IL-6 and TNF-α, some stress reactions (serum insulin and serum lactate),and postoperative analgesic requirements in patients undergoing surgery for pelviabdominal cancers.
- Detailed Description
Cancer patients who undergo surgery face many sources of stress. Surgery causes major cytokine and neuroendocrinal changes like increased levels of catecholamine and steroid hormones and other metabolic consequences .This stress response is considered a defense mechanism important for developing resistance to noxious insults.
The cytokine cascade caused by surgical stimulation is complex with various effects on the injured host. Increased production of proinflammatory cytokines from the site of injury causes many systemic changes such as metabolic derangements and hemodynamic instability. Some released cytokines like tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and Interleukin 6(IL-6) can cause long lasting hyperalgesia. These proinflammatory cytokines change pain signal transmission through cytokine induced release of some neuroactive substances like nitric oxide, oxygen free radicals and excitatory amino acids. On the other hand anti-inflammatory cytokines are also released during inflammation to counteract these effects and keep balance.
Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that has sedative, analgesic, anesthetic-sparing properties with no respiratory depression. Its anti-inflammatory effects are being studied.
Intravenous lidocaine can be used in management of chronic pain. Lidocaine has anti-inflammatory properties and is capable of reducing postoperative analgesic requirements and the length of hospitalization.
The effect of both drugs on proinflammatory cytokines and stress response will be assessed

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method change in serum level of insulin and lactate preoperative (baseline), immediately postoperative and 24 hours postoperative change in serum levels of insulin (ng/ml) and lactate (ng/ml)
change in inflammatory mediators preoperative (baseline), immediately postoperative and 24 hours postoperative change in plasma levels of IL-6 (pg/ml), TNF-α (pg/ml)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain at 0 hour, 2 hour,6 hour, 12 hour and 24 hour assessment of postoperative pain using the visual analogue scale score. the scale is a straight horizontal line (100 mm). The ends are defined as the extreme limits of pain orientated from the left (no pain) to the right (worst pain).The patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of their current state.
The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimetres from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks.higher VAS score means worse painpostoperative morphine requirements 1st 24 hours total morphine consumption (mg)
Rescue analgesia 1st 24 hours time of first rescue analgesia
