Reducing Postoperative Opioids in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia
Endeavor Health
75 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial that will enroll 75 subjects undergoing laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair surgery. Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the opioid sparring anesthesia protocol (OSA) or the opioid based anesthesia protocol (OBA). The purpose of this study is to investigate if an opioid sparring protocol for laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair will reduce opioid consumption during discharge. Other outcomes include: postoperative VAS scores (PACU arrival, PACU discharge, hospital discharge), total in hospital opioid consumption, PACU length of stay, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV in PACU, postoperative day 1, during hospital stay), rehospitalization rate, rate of reoperation, rate of emergency room visit, surgeon satisfaction, and hospital cost differential.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients from 18-90 years old who are undergoing laparoscopic hiatal hernia surgery
- Elective Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair
Exclusion Criteria3
- Patients receiving urgent or emergent hiatal hernia surgery
- Patients receiving hiatal hernia surgery without laparoscopy
- Patients with adverse reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, rash) to any of the drugs in the OBA or OSA protocols.

Interventions
OSA protocol will include boluses of dexmedetomidine and ketamine at anesthesia induction, followed by a ketamine infusion that will continue until PACU discharge. Another bolus of ketamine will be administered upon surgical incision and another dexmedetomidine bolus will be given at surgical closure to reduce the use of opioids.
The OBA group will be administered a saline infusion at the same rate of the ketamine infusion (only while in the PACU) up until PACU discharge so that surgeons, patients, and PACU nurses will be blinded. The OBA group will be administered fentanyl 100 mcg IV for anesthesia induction followed by 50 mcg IV boluses when heart rate or systolic blood pressure is 20% above baseline throughout the case.
