Interventions
Procedure: Pupillometry guided anesthesia
Procedure: SPI guided anesthesia
Procedure: Standard management
Registration Number
NCT03586791

Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators measure a pupil size every 5 minutes during the operation in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. The investigators would compare the intraoperative opioid consumption and postoperative pain between the group adjusted the anesthetic drug concentration based on the changes of the pupil (Pupil group) and the group based on the changes of a surgical pleth index (SPI group).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Peak pain score assessed by numeric rating scale (NRS) in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU)During the PACU stay (Within 1 hour after the PACU admission)

Patients are asked to rate their pain according to the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0=no pain to 10= extreme pain imaginable) every 10 min after the PACU admission. Peak pain score is the peak NRS during PACU stay. Higher NRS represents a worse outcome.

Intraoperative opioid consumptionDuring the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction)

The amount of remifentanil consumption during the operation is calculated by following equation:

Total remifentanil consumption (mcg) / body weight of the patients (kg)/ duration of anesthesia (min)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postoperative adverse eventsApproximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission

Check the postoperative nausea and vomiting, dizziness, desaturation, urinary retention, itching sensation and bradycardia

Remnant sedation degreeApproximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission

Remnant sedation is evaluated by Riker Sedation-Agitation Scale every 10 minutes after the PACU admission.

1. unarousable, minimal or no response to noxious stimuli, does not communicate of follow commands

2. very sedate, arouse to physical stimuli but does not communicate or follow command, may move spontaneously

3. sedate, difficult to arouse but awakens to verbal stimuli or gentle shaking, follows simple commands but drifts off again

4. Calm and cooperative, calm and follows commands

5. agitated, anxious or physically agitated and calms to verbal instructions

6. very agitated, requiring restraint and frequent verbal reminding of limits, biting endotracheal tubes

7. dangerous agitation, pulling at tracheal tube, trying to remove catheters or striking at staff

Pain score assessed by numeric rating scale (NRS) 1 day after the operationOn 1 day after the operation

Patients are asked to rate their pain according to the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0=no pain to 10= extreme pain imaginable) 1 day after the operation. Higher NRS represents a worse outcome.

Intraoperative propofol consumptionDuring the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction)

The amount of propofol consumption during the operation

Intraoperative vasopressor or vasodilator consumptionDuring the operation period (Within 2 hour after the anesthesia induction)

The amount of ephedrine and nicardipine consumption during the operation

PACU stay timeApproximately within 1 hour after the PACU admission

Duration of time interval from PACU admission to discharge.

Total analgesic consumption after PACU dischargeDuring 1 day after the operation

Check the analgesic consumption after PACU discharge including oral, intramuscular and intravenous administration.

initial Pupillary unrest under ambient light (PUAL)Just before the induction of anesthesia

At room light, the pupil is taken for 8 seconds at a frame rate of 30 frames per second. The pupillometer generates raw data in the format of pupil diameter versus time. We define the PUAL as the area under the curve of power spectral density between 0.23 and 3 Hz. The integral of the area is calculated using the composite Simpson's rule.
