Overview

Brief Summary

This will be an open, prospective, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. Patients scheduled for complex anorectal surgery under general anesthesia will be enrolled, and the perioperative analgesia mode led by anesthesiologists will be established. Compared with the perioperative analgesia mode led by surgeons, the efficacy and safety of analgesia, quality of life and satisfaction of patients will be evaluated. This study is aimed at the feasibility and efficiacy of anesthesiologist-led treatment mode in the management of moderate and severe pain in patients after complex anorectal surgery.

Detailed Description

Patients suffer from moderate to severe postoperative pain up to 14 days after anorectal surgery. To establish an anesthesiologist-led multidisciplinary team for postoperative analgesia in anorectal surgery under short and complex general anesthesia. However, the implementation of perioperative analgesia in anorectal surgery has not been paid enough attention. This study aims to establish the application of anesthesiologist-led multidisciplinary postoperative analgesia in anorectal surgery under general anesthesia. Objectives: Patients undergoing complex anorectal surgery under general anesthesia will be randomly divided into two groups: anesthesiologist-led group (Anes Group) and surgeon-led group (Surg Group). Interventions: Both groups will receive general anesthesia combined with long-term local anesthesia, postoperative patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and multi-mode analgesia including laxatives and antibiotics. In Anes Group, patients receive postoperative analgesia following the protocol established by the anesthesiologist, continuous with intraoperative analgesic protocol. In Surg Group, patients will be given postoperative analgesia and follow-ups by the traditional mode formulated by the surgeons and the consultant of the pharmacists. The postoperative PCIA analgesic formula and the choice of analgesics are same in the two groups. Follow-ups and outcomes: Patients will be followed-up till total recovery after surgery. Primary outcome is the time of recovery of work and life after surgery day, defined as not requiring any additional medication and resuming full pre-operative work life content. Secondary outcomes include opioid use after surgery, the degree of pain during defecation and rest pain, the adverse reactions related to analgesia, satisfaction, the time of ambulation, the length of hospital stay. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of anesthesiologist-led care model in complex anorectal surgery and to optimize the perioperative analgesia in anorectal surgery.

Arms & Interventions

Anes Group

In Anes Group, the anesthesiologist routinely works in the operating room, and will communicate with anorectal physicians through bedside visits, video telephone calls, and a hospital-wide electronic medical record system in the operating room. Anesthesiologists will evaluate the patient's pain degree and symptoms perioperatively at bedside, and will administer opioids or non-opioids at the optimal interval and standard dose until discharge. The anesthesiologist and the surgeon will jointly formulate the discharge medication plan and give the patient guidance on analgesic treatment.

Intervention: Multi-modal analgesia during the surgery

Surg. group

According to the current perioperative management mode, patients in the surgeon-led group (Surg. group) will be given local anesthesia during the operation, and will receive routine ambulatory surgery anesthesia plan, and routine postoperative analgesia plan in the ward will be given to the patients, under the guidance of the department of pharmacy. The patients will receive rescue opioids and standardized NSAIDs until discharge.
