ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of controlled-release oxycodone in the treatment of postoperative pain of head and neck oncologic resections.

Methods:

We conducted a prospective, observational and open study, with 83 patients with moderate to severe pain after head and neck oncological operations. All patients received general anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and sevoflurane. Postoperatively, should they have moderate or severe pain, we began controlled-release oxycodone 20 mg 12/12 b.i.d on the first day and 10 mg b.i.d. on the second. We assessed the frequency and intensity of adverse effects, the intensity of postoperative pain by a verbal numeric scale and the use of rescue analgesia from 12 hours after administration of the drug and between 7 and 13 days after the last oxycodone dose.

Results:

The most common adverse events were nausea, vomiting, dizziness, pruritus, insomnia, constipation and urinary retention, most mild. No serious adverse events occurred. In less than 12 hours after the use of oxycodone, there was a significant decrease in the intensity of postoperative pain, which remained until the end of the study. The rescue medication was requested at a higher frequency when the opioid dose was reduced, or after its suspension.

Conclusion:

Controlled release oxycodone showed to be safe and well tolerated and caused a significant decrease in post-operative pain. .
RESUMO

Objetivo:

avaliar a segurança e a tolerabilidade da oxicodona de liberação controlada no tratamento da dor pós-operatória de ressecções oncológicas de cabeça e pescoço.

Métodos:

estudo prospectivo, observacional e aberto. Foram estudados 83 pacientes com dor de moderada a intensa após operações oncológicas de cabeça e pescoço. Todos receberam anestesia geral com propofol, fentanil e sevoflurano. No pós-operatório, quando apresentaram dor moderada ou intensa, foi iniciada oxicodona de liberação controlada, 20mg de 12/12 horas no primeiro dia e 10mg de 12/12 horas no segundo dia. A frequência e a intensidade de efeitos adversos, a intensidade da dor pós-operatória pela escala verbal numérica e o uso de medicação analgésica de resgate foram avaliadas de 12/12 horas após a administração do medicamento e entre 7 e 13 dias após a última dose de oxicodona.

Resultados:

os efeitos adversos mais frequentes foram náusea, vômito, tontura, prurido,insônia, constipação e retenção urinária, sendo a maioria, de leve intensidade. Não ocorreram eventos adversos graves. Em menos de 12 horas após o emprego da oxicodona, ocorreu diminuição significativa da intensidade da dor pós-operatória, que permaneceu até o final do estudo. A medicação de resgate foi solicitada em uma frequência maior quando a dose do opioide foi reduzida,ou após sua suspensão.

Conclusão:

aoxicodona de liberação controlada demonstrou ser segura e bem tolerada e promoveu diminuição significativa da dor pós-operatória. .
