ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:It is important to control acute pain after gynecological oncologic surgery effectively.This study was to compare the clinical effects of butorphanol and flurbiprofen axetil(FA) combined with sufentanil on patient controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) after surgery.Methods:Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients scheduled for elective gynecological oncologic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups of twenty each,butorphanol group(Group B) and flurbiprofen axetil(FA) combined with sufentanil group(Group FS).After induction Group B received a loading dose of butorphanol 1 mg,and Group FS received that of FA 50 mg.Before the operation was over,Group B received intravenous infusion of butorphanol 13 mg in 100 mL saline,whereas Group FS received that of FA 150 mg combined with sufentanil 200 ?g in 100 mL saline.In the postoperative period,visual analogue scale(VAS),Ramsay sedative scores and side effects were recorded at 6,12,24 and 48 h.Results:There were not any signifi cant differences in VAS and the demanding times for supplemental bolus between the two groups.All VAS were below 4.Ramsay sedative scores of Group B before 12 h were signifi cantly higher than those in group FS(P0.05).The incidence of nausea and vomiting in Group FS was signif icantly higher than that in Group B(P
