About this trial

It is known that more or less pronounced impairment of pulmonary function occurs after anesthesia. It has been demonstrated in the postoperative period in both patients undergoing general and regional anesthesia, in patients after intra-abdominal and superficial procedures, in overweight and normal-weight patients. It has also been shown that when general anesthesia is performed with the inhalation anesthetic sevoflurane, there is a slightly smaller reduction in lung function parameters than when only intravenous anesthetics are used.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate lung function before induction and after awakening from general anesthesia depending on the inhalational anesthetic used in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Obese patients qualified for bariatric surgery.

Disqualifiers

with aneurysms of the aorta or cerebral arteries threatening to rupture, after recent vascular surgery

with increased intracranial pressure, after recent intracranial bleeding or head surgery within the cranial cavity

after acute conditions within 6 months prior to surgery such as stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, pneumothorax

with uncontrolled hypertension

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Different drug type for conduction of general anesthesia

    Drug

    Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: patients for whom general anesthesia will be performed with sevoflurane and patients for whom general anesthesia will be performed with desflurane.

Treatment groups

100 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: General anesthesia with desfluraneExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: General anesthesia with sevofluraneExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Heart rate (HR)

HR will be measured by ecg in beat per minute

Time frame
Continuously during whole duration of anesthesia
2

Pulse oximetry (SpO2)

SpO2 will be measured by light spectrometry percutaneous sensor in %

Time frame
Continuously during whole duration of anesthesia
3

End tidal CO2 (etCO2)

etCO2 will be measured by capnography with infrared radiation sensor in mmHg. Sensor will be attached to breathing circuit.

Time frame
Continuously during whole duration of anesthesia
4

Minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)

MAC will be measured based on exhaled anesthetic gas concentration in absolute numbers

Time frame
Continuously during whole duration of anesthesia

Secondary outcomes
