RESUMEN
Objective To observe the analgesic and sedative effects of oxycodone combined with dexmedetomidine and its effects on respiratory and cardiovascular functions during endotracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscope at conscious state.Methods Forty patients with endotra-cheal intubation difficulty were randomly divided into sulfentanil group and oxycodone group.An initial induction dose of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine was given followed by an maintaining infusion of 0.2 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 in sulfentanil group,additionally,0.2 μg/kg sulfentanil was given intravenously. Patients in oxycodone group received intravenous infusion of oxycodone 0.08 mg/kg instead.The changes of HR,MAP and SpO 2 were monitored during medication and intubation.The Ramsay scores before intubation, the PET CO 2 and comfort degree after intubation were recorded. Results There were no statistically significant differences in hemodynamic changes,Ramsay scores and comfort level between the two groups during drug-injection and intubation.SpO 2 of patients in oxycodone group was higher than that of sulfentanil group after injection of drugs,but PET CO 2 of oxycodone group after endotracheal intubation was lower.Conclusion The combination of oxycodone and dexmedetomidine can be safely used in awake tracheal intubation,for it shows effective sedation and analgesia,less respiratory depression and other side-effects compared with sufentanil.
