Influence of Dexmedetomidine and Lidocaine on Opioid Consumption in Laparoscopic Intestine Resection

Using combination of opioid analgesics and analgesics with different mechanism of action the investigators can decrease the consumption of opioid analgesics and their side effects. The investigators will use opioid analgesic fentanyl alone or in combination with dexmedetomidine or lidocaine.The participants scheduled for laparoscopic intestine resection will be divided in three groups: in the first group, the participants will receive single boluses of fentanyl, in the second group, the participants will receive continuous infusion of lidocaine and single boluses of fentanyl, and in the third group, the participants will receive continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine and single boluses of fentanyl. Participants with intraoperative infusion od dexmedetomidine or lidocaine will need less boluses of fentanyl during the operation and less opioid analgesics after the operation in comparison to those who will receive only fentanyl boluses. Better cognitive function after the operation is expected in participants receiving dexmedetomidine infusion. There will be minimal incidence of neuropathic pain because of minimal surgical injury of peripheral nerves in all groups of patients.
