RESUMEN
Objective To compare the analgesic effect and adverse reactions of oxycodone versus morphine after transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA). Methods Sixty patients undergoing hysteroscopic TCRA under general anesthesia in Dalian Municipal Woman and Children′s Medical Center were randomly assigned to the test group or control group with 30 patients in each group; the test group received oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg (Q group), and the control group received morphine 0.1 mg/kg (M group). Both group was followed by propofol 2—3 mg/kg, as well as laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion after loss of consciousness to maintain ventilation. Propofol 6—10 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.1—0.2 μg/kg min were administered intraoperatively to maintain anesthesia. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, sedation score and number of rescue medications were recorded immediately and 1 h, 2 h after the patient was sent to postoperative recovery room. The incidences of body movement, nausea and vomiting and pruritus after LMA insertion were recorded. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in VAS score, sedation score ,nausea and vomiting, itchy skin or the number of rescue medications at any post-recovery time point (P > 0.05); the incidence of body movements during LMA insertion was lower in M group: 13.3%(4/30) vs 36.7%(11/30), with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions Oxycodone could provide favorable postoperative analgesia for patients with intrauterine adhesion, with low incidence of adverse reactions.
