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)
DrugPropofol-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
DrugSevoflurane-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.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Pentraxin 3 Level
Pentraxin 3 level was measured from blood samples to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of propofol- and sevoflurane-based anesthesia.
Change in Serum Amyloid A Level
Serum amyloid A level was measured from blood samples to evaluate the inflammatory response after surgery.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Interleukin-6 Level
Interleukin-6 level was measured from blood samples as an inflammatory biomarker.
Change in Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Level
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha level was measured from blood samples as an inflammatory biomarker.
Change in C-reactive Protein Level
C-reactive protein level was measured from blood samples as an inflammatory biomarker.
Change in Blood Glucose Level
Blood glucose level was measured from blood samples during the perioperative follow-up period.
