Effectiveness of deep versus moderate muscle relaxation during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in enhancing postoperative recovery: study protocol for a randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postoperative recovery after live donor nephrectomy is largely determined by the consequences of postoperative pain and analgesia consumptions. The use of deep neuromuscular blockade has been shown to reduce postoperative pain scores after laparoscopic surgery. In this study, we will investigate whether deep neuromuscular blockade also improves the early quality of recovery after live donor nephrectomy.

Methods

The RELAX-study is a phase IV, multicenter, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, in which 96 patients, scheduled for living donor nephrectomy, will be randomized into two groups: one with deep and one with moderate neuromuscular blockade. Deep neuromuscular blockade is defined as a post-tetanic count of 1-2. Our primary outcome measurement will be the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire (overall score) at 24 h after extubation.

Discussion

This study is, to our knowledge, the first randomized study to assess the effectiveness of deep neuromuscular blockade during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy in enhancing postoperative recovery. The study findings may also be applicable for other laparoscopic procedures.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Profound neuromuscular blockade (NMB) during anaesthesia has been shown to reduce postoperative pain scores, when compared with a moderate block. We hypothesised that profound NMB during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) could also improve the early quality of recovery after surgery. OBJECTIVES:To compare the effectiveness of profound versus moderate NMB during LDN in enhancing postoperative recovery. DESIGN:A phase IV, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial. SETTING:Multicentre trial, from November 2016 to December 2017. PATIENTS:A total of 101 living kidney donors scheduled for LDN were enrolled, and 96 patients were included in the analyses. INTERVENTIONS:Patients were randomised to receive profound (posttetanic count 1 to 3) or moderate (train-of-four count 1 to 3) neuromuscular block. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The primary outcome was the early quality of recovery at postoperative day 1, measured by the Quality of Recovery-40 Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes were adverse events, postoperative pain, analgesic consumption and length-of-stay. RESULTS:The intention-to-treat analysis did not show a difference with regard to the quality of recovery, pain scores, analgesic consumption and length-of-stay. Less intra-operative adverse events occurred in patients allocated to profound NMB (1/48 versus 6/48). Five patients allocated to a profound NMB received a moderate block and in two patients neuromuscular monitoring failed. The as-treated analysis revealed that pain scores were significantly lower at 6, 24 and 48 h after surgery. Moreover, the quality of recovery was significantly better at postoperative day 2 in patients receiving a profound versus moderate block (179.5 ± 13.6 versus 172.3 ± 19.2). CONCLUSION:Secondary analysis indicates that an adequately maintained profound neuromuscular block improves postoperative pain scores and quality of recovery. As the intention-to-treat analysis did not reveal a difference regarding the primary endpoint, future studies should pursue whether a thoroughly maintained profound NMB during laparoscopy improves relevant patient outcomes.

Project description:We compared gene expression profiles from six donor kidneys prior to surgical manipulation to six kidneys removed after laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) and several hours of CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Biopsies were obtained from renal cortex and hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips. For control kidneys we identified 1380 genes present on all 6 samples that had a signal intensity greater than 1000. Functional classification of these revealed genes for cellular signaling (201; 15%), regulation of transcription (156; 11%), cellular transport (144; 10%) and cellular metabolism (111; 8%). A class comparison between the controls and LDN kidneys yielded 865 differentially expressed genes. Functional classification of the 502 genes differentially up-regulated in LDN kidneys identified associations with apoptosis, cell adhesion, cell signaling, regulation of cell growth/proliferation, immune/inflammation, ischemia/stress response and proteolysis/peptidolysis. These data demonstrate an altered renal transcriptome induced by several hours of CO2 pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic surgery characterized by up-regulation of ischemia and injury associated genes. Keywords: Comparative Expression Twelve healthy adult kidney donors signed a consent form, and were approved for donation according to the usual evaluation and practice of the Cleveland Clinic Renal Transplant Program. To avoid potentially significant differences in gene expression based on race and/or ethnicity, only white recipients were selected. The patients were divided into two groups; six controls from open donor nephrectomy and six from LDN. Demographic information included age, gender, race, HLA type, and renal function data including serum creatinine (mg/dL), GFR measured by iothalamate clearance (cc/min.), and urine protein excretion (mg/24 hr). Each patient was given general anesthesia and had a diuresis induced with saline, mannitol, and furosemide. The controls had an extraperitoneal flank incision made, and with only minimal manipulation of the kidney two subcapsular core renal biopsies were obtained using a 15-gauge spring-loaded needle. For the LDN cases two core renal biopsies were obtained using the same needles after the kidneys underwent 2 to 3 hours of C02 pneumoperitoneum. Study biopsies went immediately into 1.5 mL of RNALater (Ambion, Austin, TX), and were stored at –80 0C until they were processed. Biopsy specimens were homogenized in 1 mL of Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA); total RNA was purified using an RNeasy column (Qiagen, Valencia, CA); and quality confirmed with an Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer (Palo Alto, CA). Standard Affymetrix GeneChip (Santa Clara, CA) protocols were used, and labelled samples were hybridized to HG-U133A GeneChip arrays containing 22,283 probe sets representing over 14,500 human genes. Data was analyzed using Signal intensities generated using GeneChip Operating System version 1.0 and were subsequently analysed by Robust Multichip Average Express (RMA Express) using all Affymetrix .CEL files as a training set. BRB ArrayTools (http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html) was used to perform class comparisons (significance level of p < 0.005), and create dendrograms. We used NetAffyx (www.affymetrix.com) to annotate the differentially expressed genes according to biological function based on the Gene Ontology database. A Heatmap was created using Cluster and TreeView software. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
