ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the sufentanil-sparing effect of ketorolac tromethamine for postoperative analgesia in the elderly patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged ≥ 65 yr,with a body mass index of 18-24 kg/m2,undergoing elective gynecological operations,were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =30 each):sufentanil group(group S)and ketorolac tromethamine plus sufentanil group(group T).Both groups received combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)after operation.PCIA solution contained ketorolac tromethamine 180 mg and sufentanil 100 μg in 100 ml of normal saline in group T.After a loading dose of ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg was injected intravenously at 15 min before the end of operation,the PCA pump was set up with a 1.6 ml bolus dose,a 20 rain lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h in group T.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 100 μg in 100 ml of normal saline in group S.After a loading dose of sufentanil 5 μg was injected intravenously at 15 min before the end of operation,the PCA pump was set up with a 1.6 ml bolus dose,a 20 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h in group S.The effective analgesia(postoperative VAS scores at rest and during activity ＜ 3)was maintained within 48 h after operation.The amount of sufentanil consumed within 48 h after operation and adverse effects were recorded.Results Compared with group S,the amount of sufentanil consumed within 48 h after operation was significantly reduced,and the incidence of nausea and vomiting,urinary retention and pruritus was significantly decreased in group T(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ketorolac tromethamine used with PCIA with sufenlanil has a significant sufentanil-sparing effecl for posloperative analgesia and improves the safety of analgesia in the elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of sulfentanil with various doses on the Bispectral index and Narcotrend index without nociceptive stimulus under the sevoflurane anesthesia.Methods Forty-eight ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients undergoing gynecological operations were randomly divided into four groups（n=12）.All patients were induced with sevoflurane,the end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane in all groups were adjusted to 1.0 MAC after tracheal intubation. Fifteen minutes later,sufentanil was injected in groups of B,C,D with the doses of 0.25,0.5,1.0 μg/kg respectively. The observations were finished when the values of Bispectral index and the Narcotrend index reached the minimum over 5 min. The values of Bispectral index and the Narcotrend index were recorded every minutes after the sufentanil injection. Results Among all groups,the BIS,Narcotrend values and tmax produced no statistical difference. Compared with the time when conscious lost,BIS and Narcotrend values were significantly lower when sevoflurane anesthesia reached steady state in all groups. The values of BIS and Narcotrend were significant lower after the injection of sufentanil in the groups of B,C and D（P0.05）. Conclusion Under the sevoflurane anesthesia with the steady end-tidal concentration of 1.0MAC,sufentanil could reduce the values of BIS and Narcotrend index without nociceptive stimulus without distinction among different doses.
