Overview
Brief Summary
This study compares the intraoperative opioid free anesthesia approach in laparoscopic bariatric surgery to a conventional opioid- based anesthesia. Half of participants will receive opioid free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine, lidocaine and ketamine while the other half will receive opioid based anesthesia with fentanyl, remi-fentanyl and ketamine
Detailed Description
Since optimal analgesia for the obese patients undergoing bariatric surgeries has always been challenging, and knowing the comorbidities and physiological changes in this population, use of opioid-sparing agents during anesthesia has attracted substantial research.the use of opioids in the perioperative period in obese patients is associated with an increased risk of complications . They are especially more sensitive to the respiratory depressant effect of opioids , thus any analgesic alternative without further compromising airway tone would be a desirable choice. Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha-two adrenergic receptor agonist that has antinociceptive, analgesic and sedative properties, without compromising airway tone and reflexes . Lidocaine, a local anesthetic that has been shown to be an effective multimodal strategy to minimize postoperative pain was evaluated in one study involving obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Its usage was associated with an improved quality of recovery compared to placebo .

Arms & Interventions
Opioid Based Anesthesia
General anesthesia will be induced using Propofol , fentanyl , and Rocuronium . Ketamine will be administered on induction of anesthesia with the same dose to be repeated every hour. Anesthesia will be maintained with Remi-fentanyl and Sevoflurane.
Intervention: Opioid based anesthesia Fentanyl and Remifentanyl
Opioid Free Anesthesia
General anesthesia will be induced using dexmedetomidine and lidocaine started 10 minutes before induction, Propofol and Rocuronium . Ketamine will be administered on induction of anesthesia with the same dose to be repeated every hour. Anesthesia will be maintained with IV infusion of dexmedetomidine , lidocaine and Sevoflurane.
Intervention: Opioid free Anesthesia dexmedetomidine and lidocaine
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Postoperative pain score for 48 hours
Time Frame: 48 hours postoperative
Measure the pain score using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) consists of a straight line with the endpoints defining extreme limits such as 'no pain at all' and 'pain as bad as it could be' The patient is asked to mark his pain level on the line between the two endpoints. The distance between 'no pain at all' and the mark then defines the subject's pain. The score ranges from 0 to 100 mm. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. The distribution pain is the following:no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm).Postoperative pain will be measured using Verbal Analogue Scale (VAS) at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, and 24 and every 6 hours up to 48 hours post surgery.
