Study Overview

Effects of Epidural Block on the Prognosis in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Distal Pancreatectomy

The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to investigate the effects of epidural block on overall survival,disease-free survival and recovery in patients with pancreatic cancer undergoing distal pancreatectomy. This study will also evaluate the effects of this technique on neuroendocrine, stress and inflammatory response in these patients.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Supportive Care


Allocation:
Randomized


Interventional Model:
Parallel


Masking:
None


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: GEA+PCEA

General anesthesia combined with epidural anesthesia will be performed during surgery and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) will be provided after surgery.

OTHER: GEA

  • Thoracic epidural catheterization will be performed and epidural anesthesia will be maintained with 0.25% ropivacaine during surgery. General anesthesia will be maintained with inhalation (sevoflurane) and muscle relaxants will be administered when consid

OTHER: PCEA

  • Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (0.15% ropivacaine and 0.5ug/ml sufentanil infusion) will be provided after surgery.
OTHER: GA+PCIA

General anesthesia will be performed during surgery and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) will be provided after surgery.

OTHER: GA

  • General anesthesia will be maintained with inhalation (sevoflurane) and sufentanil infusion, and muscle relaxants will be administered when considered necessary.

OTHER: PCIA

  • Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (1ug/ml sufentanil) will be provided after surgery.
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Overall survival (OS)Defined and calculated as the time from the date of surgery to death related to all reasonsDuring 2 years after surgery
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Disease-free survival (DFS )Defined and calculated as the time from the date of surgery to the first time of pancreatic cancer recurrence or metastasis or cancer-related deathDuring 2 years after surgery
Postoperative pain score and side effects of patient-controlled analgesiaAssessed with visual analogue score ( 0 is no pain and 10 is the most severe pain)During the first 48 hours after surgery
Incidence of deliriumAssessed for delirium using the 3D-CAM instrumentDuring the first 1 week after surgery
Incidence of persistent post-surgical pain (PPSP) after surgeryAssessed with visual analogue score ( 0 is no pain and 10 is the most severe pain)During 2 years after surgery
Length of stay in hospital after surgeryDuring the first 30 days after surgery
Return of bowel functionMeasured by the time of first flatusDuring the first 30 days after surgery
Removal of Perianastomotic drainsDuring the first 30 days after surgery
Removal of Urinary drainageDuring the first 30 days after surgery
Removal of nasogastric tubeDuring the first 30 days after surgery
Blood level of neuroendocrine, stress and inflammatory responseChanges of blood epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol, VEGF, interleukin-6 (IL-6)、interleukin-8 (IL-8), peripheral blood NLR ( neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio)During surgery and the first 24 hours after surgery
Blood CA19-9 、CA125、CEA、CA72-4、CA242、AFP、CA15-3、CA50 levelsDuring 2 years after surgery
Blood levels of ropivacaine and sufentanilDuring surgery and the first 24 hours after surgery
