RESUMO
Objective To observe the feasibility of combining dezocine with fentanyl in the application of single integral high in‐tensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)ablation of uterine fibroids .Methods One hundred and sixty patients with uterine fibroids trea‐ted by HIFU under conscious sedation were randomly divided into 2 groups(n=80):group A with treatment combined fentanyl and midazolam and group B treated with combined dezocine ,fentanyl and midazolam .Analgesic effect was evaluated with visual analog scale (VAS) .Variation of patients′vital signs (blood pressure ,heart rate ,electrocardiogram ,oxygen saturation) ,pain scores ,com‐fort scores ,sedation scores ,analgesic consumption and side effects were recorded before treatment (T0 ) ,during drug delivery (T1 ) , at the beginning of the treatment(T2 ) ,30 minutes after drug delivery (T3 ) ,at the end of the treatment(T4 ) ,2 hours after treatment (T5 ) ,4 hours after treatment (T6 ) ,8 hours after treatment (T7 )and 24 hours after treatment(T8 ) .Results Both groups showed reliable analgesic effects and vital signs of each time point were stable .VAS scores and Ramsay scores of group A were higher than those of group B ,but there was no statistical difference (P>0 .05) .Three patients in group A showed dysuria and relieved after symptomatic treatment .No respiratory depression occurred in both groups .But compared to group A ,the incidence of the analgesic side effects of group B was significantly lower and patients satisfaction was significantly higher(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The analge‐sic effects of dezocine combined with fentanyl are reliable in HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids with fewer side effects ,and could be worthy to be promoted in clinical use .
