RESUMO
Objective:To study the effects of shenmai injection on postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCABG).Methods:40 patients undergoing OPCABG from September 2019 to March 2020 in Linyi People's Hospital were randomly divided into (group S) and control group (group C), 20 cases in each group. Shenmai injection (0.6 ml/kg)was diluted to 150 ml with 5% glucose in group S, and pumped through the central vein at the beginning of the operation. In the group C, at the beginning of the operation, 5% glucose injection (150 ml) was pumped through central vein. The values of ejection fraction (EF), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), stroke volume variation (SVV), bispectral index (BIS), oxygen partial pressure (PO 2), central venous oxygen saturation (ScVO 2) and lactic acid (LAC) at anesthesia induction (T 0), at the beginning of operation (T 1), at the beginning of coronary artery bypass graft (T 2), at the end of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) (T 3), and at the end of operation (T 4) were recorded. Patients were evaluated for delirium on the 3rd and 7th day after surgery. Results:The EF, CO in the patients of group C and group S at T 2 were found to be significantly lower than those at T 0 ( P<0.05). The ScVO 2, PO 2 in the patients of group C and group S at T 4 were found to be significantly lower than those at T 0 ( P<0.05). The EF, CO and SV in the patients of group S at T 3 to T 4 were found to be significantly higher than those in group C ( P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative delirium on the third day in the group S was significantly lower than that in the group C ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Shenmai injection can improve the cardiac function and reduce the incidence of POD in patients with OPCABG.
