ABSTRACT: Objectives
We compared early recovery outcomes between living kidney donors who received total intravenous (IV) propofol versus inhalational desflurane during hand-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy.Design
A single-centre, prospective randomised controlled trial.Setting
University hospital.Participants
Study participants were enrolled between October 2019 and February 2020. A total of 80 living donors were randomly assigned to an intravenous propofol group (n=40) or a desflurane group (n=40).Intervention
Propofol group received intravenous propofol and desflurane group received desflurane, as a maintenance anaesthetic.Primary and secondary outcome measures
The quality of postoperative functional recovery was primarily assessed using the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40K) questionnaire on postoperative day 1. Secondarily, ambulation, pain score, rescue analgesics, complications and total hospital stay were assessed postoperatively.Results
Our study population included 35 males and 45 females. The mean age was 46±13 years. The global QoR-40K score (161 (154-173) vs 152 (136-161) points, respectively, p=0.001) and all five subdimension scores (physical comfort, 49 (45-53) vs 45 (42-48) points, respectively, p=0.003; emotional state, 39 (37-41) vs 37 (33-41) points, respectively, p=0.005; psychological support, 30 (26-34) vs 28 (26-32) points, respectively, p=0.04; physical independence, 16 (11-18) vs 12 (8-14) points, respectively, p=0.004; and pain, 31 (28-33) vs 29 (25-31) points, respectively, p=0.021) were significantly higher in the intravenous propofol group than the desflurane group. The early ambulation success rate and numbers of early and total steps were higher, but the incidence of nausea/vomiting was lower, in the intravenous propofol group than the desflurane group. The total hospital stay after surgery was shorter in the intravenous propofol group than the desflurane group.Conclusions
Intravenous propofol may enhance the quality of postoperative recovery in comparison to desflurane in living kidney donors.Trial registration number
