Flurbiprofen Combined with Sufentanil for Analgesia After Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty Surgery / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the analgesic efficiency and safety of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) with both flurbiprofen and sufentanil after Han-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty ( H-UPPP) surgery. Methods Patients undergoing H-UPPP surgery ( n=60 ) were randomly divided into four groups with 15 cases in each group .They received PCIA after operation with a loading dose of 2 ml, lockout time of 15 minutes, background infusion rate of 2 ml/h and liquid volume of 100 ml.The PCIA formulation in each group was as followssufentanil 3.0 μg/h in group A;sufentanil 3.0 μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group B;sufentanil 2.0μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group C;sufentanil 1.0μg/h+flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h in group D.The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation scale were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery (T1 -T5 time points).Patient pressing times and the adverse effects within 48 h after surgery were counted . Results The VAS scores of the group D were higher than those in the other three groups at T1 and T2 time points (P<0.05).The Ramsay scores of the group D were lower than those in the other three groups at T1 and T2 time points (P<0.05).The numbers of pressing times in the group D were more than those in the other three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion PCIA with both flurbiprofen 4.0 mg/h and sufentanil 2.0 μg/h is effective for postoperative analgesia after H-UPPP.
