Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A prospective double-blinded clinical randomised control trial will be conducted to compare intraperitoneal instillation of ropivacaine to normal saline in 120 patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
The amount of 0.2% ropivacaine used for intra-peritoneal instillation will be administered according to patient weight at 0.5ml/kg. This will be instilled in and around the esophageal hiatus once at the conclusion of the laparoscopic bariatric procedure. Instillation will occur using a mixing cannula.
The amount of ropivacaine will be personalised to each patient by weight to ensure toxic doses are not breached and to accomodate for weight based diffusion variability between patients. The patient's weight will be recorded the day of the intervention and appropriate ml/kg amount of the unidentified drug/saline will be administered.
A research nurse will be present to monitor adherence to the specified intervention regimen,

Comparator / control treatment
The control treatment will be instillation of normal saline into the oesophageal hiatus using an mixing cannula at the conclusion of the surgery. This will also be based on weight due to the blinding of the study.
A research nurse will be present to monitor adherence to the specified intervention regimen,
Control group
Placebo

Summary
Brief summary
Effective postoperative pain management continues to be an issue in laparoscopic surgery including gastric bypass. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal nebulisation of ropivacaine to reduce post-operative pain in patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery.
