Analgesic effect of butorphanol and dezocine combined other analgesic drugs after abdominal operation / 局解手术学杂志

Objective To compare the analgesic effect and adverse event of butorphanol and dezocine which are combined with sufentanil and flurbiprofen axetil in PCIA,to screen out a relatively good analgesic.Methods 110 laparotomy cases from hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) department and 160 laparoscopy cases from general surgery(GS) department of xinqiao hospital of third medical university were included in our study.All patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the random number table method,namely the butorphanol group and dezocine group.Butorphanol 0.04 mg/kg,sufentanil 2.8 μg/kg,flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg were used in HPB butorphanol group.Dezocine 0.2 mg/kg,sufentanil 2.8 μg/kg,flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg were used in HPB dezocine group.Butorphanol 0.04 mg/kg sufentanil 2.5 μg/kg,flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg was used in GS butorphanol group.Dezocine 0.2 mg/kg,sufentanil 2.5 μg/kg,flurbiprofen axetil 3 mg/kg and granisetron 6 mg was used in GS dezocine group.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),facial expressions of pain score,sedation score,PONV score,NRS score and respiratory depression were observed in postoperative 0 hour,6 hours,24 hours,48 hours.Results For both two departments,the numbers of patients with NRS score and facial expressions of pain scores greater than 3 in dezocine group were more than those in butorphanol group,the differences were significant(P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in numbers of patients with NRS score and facial expressions scale of 1 to 3 (P ＞ 0.05).while the number of cases with sedation score ranged from 1 to 3 in dezocine group was less than that in both HPB and GS butorphanol group(P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in PONV score and itching score which was or less than 3 or more than 3 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion For postoperative analgesia in PCIA,butorphanol has better analgesic effect than the same dose of dezocine,and stronger sedation effect than dezocine.

Case scenario about Transesophageal Echocardiography: patient with dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy

A 42-year-old woman, who presented with DCM [American Society of Anesthesia, ASA class IV], suffered from gallstone for years, and was scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Echocardiography demonstrated a severely dilated left ventricle with global hypokinesia and reduction of left ventricular systolic function, ejection fraction [EF] 34% with mild mitral regurgitation and severe tricuspid regurgitation. After intubation, a Transesophageal Echocardiography [TEE] probe was inserted. When the IAP was gradually ascended to 14 mmHg during the laparoscopy, EF fell to 19% and the systolic pressure fell to 78 mmHg and TEE showed severely poor wall motion. But the central venous pressure [CVP] still showed about 4 mmHg throughout the whole procedure. After decreasing the IAP to 10 mmHg, we adjusted the rate of pacemaker to 70 times per minute then the systolic pressure was kept at around 100 mmHg, and the diastolic pressure was kept at 60 mmHg. EF was 30% after the reduction of IAP and the adjusting of the heart rate set. TEE is a helpful monitor in anesthesia management of patients with DCM during noncardiac surgery and CVP is useless especially for the procedure with severe hemodynamic effects
