Effects of low-dose Dexmedetomidine on gastrointestinal reactions after minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer / 中国内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of low dose Dexmedetomidine on gastrointestinal reaction after minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer. Methods 94 patients with cervical cancer treated with minimally invasive surgery from February 2014 to September 2016 were selected. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into observation group (low-dose Dexmedetomidine) and control group (saline). The incidence of nausea and vomiting, the motilin level were compared between the two groups. Results The observation group was 47 cases, grade Ⅱ nausea in 7 cases, grade Ⅲ nausea in 2 cases, the total incidence was 19.15%; 47 cases in the control group, 11 cases of grade Ⅱ nausea, grade Ⅳ nausea in 4 cases, grade 2 nausea in 2 cases, the rate was 36.17%, the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). At 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation, the levels of motilin in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Low dose Dexmedetomidine can effectively prevent and alleviate the gastrointestinal reaction after minimally invasive surgery for cervical cancer, and avoid the excessive release of motilin, worthy of clinical promoting.
