About this trial

This randomized, single-center, single-masked clinical trial aims to compare the immunomodulatory effects of sevoflurane-based inhalational anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia in obese patients undergoing elective lumbar instrumentation surgery. Seventy patients will be randomized into two groups: a propofol group and a sevoflurane group. Blood samples will be collected preoperatively, at postoperative 6 hours, and at postoperative 24 hours. Pentraxin-3 and serum amyloid A levels will be evaluated as primary inflammatory biomarkers together with IL-6, TNF-α, CRP, glucose, and complete blood count parameters.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Propofol (Astra-Zeneca)

    Drug

    Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) administered via continuous infusion (4-10 mg/kg/h) in combination with remifentanil for maintenance of anesthesia under BIS monitoring during elective lumbar instrumentation surgery.

  • Sevoflurane

    Drug

    Sevoflurane-based inhalational anesthesia administered at 1-1.3 MAC in combination with remifentanil infusion for maintenance of anesthesia under BIS monitoring during elective lumbar instrumentation surgery.
