Effects of ultimodal nalgesia on postoperative pain and postoperative cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing esophageal cancer / 临床麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of a variety of different methods of analgesia on postoperative pain and cognitive function in elderly esophageal cancer patients.Methods Sixty elderly pa-tients scheduled for the left into the thoracic esophageal cancer surgery were randomly divided into two groups (n =30).Group ABefore the closure of thoracic cavity to block intercostal nerve with 0.375% rop-ivacaine,followed by intravenous pumps for analgesia,formulation of sufentanil 3 μg/kg+flurbiprofen 100 mg,pump speed 2 ml/h,self-controlled analgesia 0.5 ml/pressing,locking time 15 min.Group BBefore the closure of thoracic cavity given sufentanil 10 μg+flurbiprofen 50 mg as loading dose followed by epidural analgesia pump,recipe with group A.Two groups were observed mini mental state examination (MMSE) score 1 d before surgery and 3,5,7 d after surgery,each time point visual analogue pain score (resting and exercise VAS)score postoperative within 48 h,BCS comfort score and effective pressing times of postopera-tive analgesia pump.Results Compared with group B,the rest and exercise VAS scores of group A at post-operative recovery,4,8,12,24,48 h were significantly lower (P <0.05);the BCS scores of group A at postoperative 4,8,12,24,48 h were significantly higher (P <0.05);the pressing times of group A at postoperative 4,8,12,24,48 h were significantly reduced (P <0.05);the MMSE scores of group A at postoperative 3,5,7 d were significantly higher (P <0.05);the incidence of POCD of group A on postop-erative 3,5,7 d were significantly lower.Conclusion Thoracic surgery perioperative multimodal analgesia (intercostal nerve block and intravenous analgesia)can relieve postoperative pain,reduce the incidence of POCD,improve the postoperative patient comfort and help postoperative patients with rapid recovery.
