Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  General and regional anesthesia  Anesthetic Technique: Patients will be assigned to different anesthetic technique by computer generated randomization. Pre-anesthetic checkup will be done in all patients and visual analogue score (VAS) scoring will be explained to them. All patients will receive tablet alparazolam; night prior surgery as pre-medication. Group A: General Anesthesia Group A patients will receive balanced general anaesthesia comprising of fentanyl (2 mcg/kg) + propofol (2 mg/kg) followed by endotracheal intubation. Intra-operative maintenance will be with isoflurane + oxygen/nitrous oxide mixture and vecuronium (intermittent bolus). Depth of anaesthesia will be monitored with entropy and maintained between 50-60. Intra-operative analgesia will be maintained by IV morphine (0.1 mg/kg). Heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) will be maintained between baseline +20%. Any hypotensive episode will be treated with IV fluids and ephedrine if required. Postoperative analgesia will be maintained with IV patient controlled analgesia (PCA) morphine 1 mg patient bolus with lockout interval half hour. If visual analogue scale (VAS) 4, morphine bolus will be increased to 2 mg. Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) will be continued for 24 hours Group B: Subarchnoid Block + Epidural Anesthesia These patients will receive spinal + epidural anaesthesia. Subarachnoid block will be given; drug used will be 0.5 % bupivacaine (heavy) 2.5- 3 mL. Once the level recedes below T 10, test dose of 3 mL 2% lignocaine adrenaline (1:200,000) will be given through epidural catheter. If test dose is negative, epidural infusion at the rate 4-6 mL/hour of 0.25% bupivacaine with 2mcg/mL fentanyl solution will be started. Postoperative analgesia will be maintained by patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with baseline infusion of 0.0625% bupivacaine + 2 mcg/mL fentanyl at the rate 4-6 mL/hour + patient bolus 2 mL, with lockout interval half an hour which will be continued for 24 hours.

Brief Summary  

The immuno-inflammatory response is initiated immediately after trauma & major surgery, which predisposes patients to multiple organ failure. Also postoperative pain is mainly caused by tissue inflammation. Cytokines are important mediator of local and systemic inflammatory response after surgery and studies suggest that the measurement of pro-inflammatory (TNF, IL6, IL1-β, IL8) and anti-inflammatory (IL10, sTNF-R1) cytokine concentration in plasma may help to quantify the systemic inflammatory response after surgery.

General and regional anesthetic techniques provide efficient postoperative analgesia, because these techniques reduce stress response and cytokine activation after surgery. Anesthetic techniques also inhibit phagocytosis and bactericidal activity. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), arise from a subset of neutrophils undergoing a new form of cell death, named NETosis, a newly identified immune mechanism and induced by inflammatory cytokines. Histone is a major component of NETs and also potently pro-inflammatory.

Recently, it was observed that NETs were formed significantly in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries. However, the sample size was very small and the authors included minor operative procedures also. The effect of anesthetic technique was also not discussed. There is sparse literature on anti-inflammatory effect of regional anesthesia in major surgeries. However, there are no clinical studies to date that evaluate effect of anesthesia technique in inflammatory markers, NETs and histone after trauma or major surgeries. We intend to see the influence of various anesthetic techniques on the neutrophil extracellular trap formation, pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers, so that the technique causing attenuation of inflammatory response or causing least inflammatory response can be recommended for better patient outcome.
