ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the sedative effects of a low dose of dexmedetomidine (DEX) during percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the elderly patients.Methods Forty elderly patients with ASA grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ grade who scheduled PKP were divided into DEX group and control group by random digits table method,each group 20 cases.DEX group received an infusion of 0.5 μg/kg for 10 min before the operation,then the infusion speed was adjusted to 0.2 μ g/ (kg·h).An equivalent volume of 0.9％ sodium chloride was administered in control group.Systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),heart rate (HR),and pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded at the beginning of DEX infusion (T0),10 min(T1),30 min(T2),60 min(T3) after DEX infusion and the end of operation (T4),Ramsay scores was also recorded.Results HR,SBP,DBP in DEX group at T1-T3 was significantly lower than that T0 and the same time in control group [(65.6 ± 14.6),(63.4 ± 10.2),(66.7 ± 10.5) times/min vs.(81.4 ± 11.2) times/min and (75.3 ±6.9),(72.8 ± 11.4),(73.8 ±9.6) times/min; (127.5 ± 10.2),(125.4 ± 12.6),(122.4 ±7.8) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(152.5 ± 11.8) mm Hg and(145.1 ± 10.6),(137.2 ± 11.3),(142.6 ± 8.8) mm Hg; (73.7 ± 8.9),(70.3 ± 9.9),(70.3 ± 11.5) mm Hg vs.(90.5 ± 11.0) mm Hg and(86.2 ± 11.6),(82.6 ± 10.9),(78.8 ±8.7) mm Hg,P ＜0.05].The Ramsay scores in DEX group at T1-T3 were significantly higher than those T0 and the same time in control group [(3.6 ± 0.8),(4.2 ± 0.8),(3.7 ± 0.5) scores vs.(2.0 ± 0.0)scores and (1.7 ± 0.6),(1.9 ± 0.4),(1.6 ± 0.5) scores,P ＜ 0.05].HR,SBP,DBP in DEX group at T4 was significantly lower than that T0,HR in DEX group at T4 was significandy lower than that in control group,difference was statistically significant(P ＜ 0.05).Bradycardia and applications vasopressors did not occur in two groups.There was no significant difference in SpO2 between DEX group and control group(P＞ 0.05).Conclusion It is both feasible and safe that sedative effect of a small dose of DEX during PKP in the elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of intravenous analgesia with dezocine combining sufentanil in hip and knee arthroplasty for elderly patients.Methods Ninety patients with ASA Ⅱ ～ Ⅲ and aged ≥ 65 years who were scheduled for hip and knee arthroplasty under CSEA and treated with intravenous analgesia post-operation were selected and divided into three group (20 cases):group Ⅰ (sufentanil 2.5μg/kg + droperidol 2.5 mg),group Ⅱ (sufentanil 2.0 μ g/kg + dezocine 10 mg + droperidol 2.5 mg) and group Ⅲ (intramuscular dezocine 10 mg and sufentanil 2.0 μ g/kg + droperidol 2.5 mg),which were diluted to be 100 ml by adding saline.VSA,Ramsay score as well as side effects were recorded at 6,12 and 24 h after operation.75 mg meperidine was administered intramuscularly as rescue medication when VAS was above 5.Results Compared with group Ⅰ and Ⅲ,group Ⅱ showed better outcomes regarding to the VAS and less side effects.Ramsay score 6 h after operation and the amount of patients who needed meperidine in group Ⅲ were higher than those in the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dezocine combining with sufentanil in elderly patients underwent low limb arthroplasty shows better postoperative analgesia effects with less side effects,and it's worth for clinical application.
