Impact of Opioid Free Anesthesia on Outcome After Hip Arthroplasty by Direct Anterior Approach.

Brief Summary

all patients with a first anterior arthroplasty, give their informed consent to be randomized to control or study protocol. control means no high steroid dose, opioids for anesthesia; paracetamol, NSAIDs and opioids as analgesia. study protocol means methylprednisolone 125 mg and opioid free anesthesia followed by paracetamol, NSAIDs and if needed opioids as escape.

Intervention / Treatment

  • study group (PROCEDURE)
    1. High dose corticoids pre-operative and 24h postoperative 2. Opioid free general anesthesia 3. Avoid opioids post-operative by continue clonidine, ketamine and lidocaine, only exceptional opioids after NSAID and paracetamol.
  • Control (PROCEDURE)
    1. No corticoids pre-operative. 2. Opioid anesthesia 3. Opioids post-operative after NSAID and paracetamol.

    study group means for Anesthesia:

    1. High dose corticoids pre-operative: 125 mg Methylprednisolone. (Medrol) pre incision and 24h postoperative
    2. OFA using a multimodal approach including alpha2agonists, lidocaine and low dose ketamine (max 1mg/kg).
    3. Avoid opioids post-operative by using multimodal non-opioid analgesics after OFA. Avoid epidural to allow rapid mobilization.

    all patients get Tranexamic acid 1 g (2 amp Exacyl 500mg) before and 1 g after surgery. It act as antifibrinolytic to reduce postoperative bleeding. (reversibly binding to lysine receptor sites on plasminogen) Try to give Continuous deep neuromuscular block (NMB) with a post titanic count (PTC) \< 3 by continuous infusion and monitoring of NMB.

    Intravenous Fluid restrictions to 1 ml/kg/h as long as pulse pressure (or plethysmograph) variation \< 20% to reduce wound edema.

    The pericapsular injections of local anesthetic, provided the patient had no contraindications such as poor renal function or allergies. 100 ml Ropivacaine 0,2% (max dose 3 mg/kg) + additives (Adrenaline 2,5 cc) (Ropivacaine: max 3 mg/kg)

    Participant Groups

    • standard anesthesia using opioids

    • opioid free anesthesia and high dose glucocorticoids

    Primary Outcomes
    • quality of recovery (QoR15) measured by 15 questions evaluating condition of recovery) scale 0 to 15 with 0 being very bad while 15 being maximum recovery possible or equal to pre operative state.

    • opioid use postoperative at 24 hours

    • Chronic reactive protein (CRP) change 24 h post-operative

    Secondary Outcomes
    • surgeon scores the surgical conditions on an adapted five-point Leyden scale

    • surgeon scores the muscle damage on an adapted five-point Leyden scale

    • number days patient stay in the hospital before discharge

    • complications up to two weeks postoperative
