ABSTRACT

Objective:To discuss the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with subcostal transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB) in peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation in patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods:A total of sixty patients (scheduled for elective peritoneal dialysis catheter placement from June 2018 to March 2019 in Wuhan First Hospital were randomly divided into two groups local anesthesia group(group LA, 30 patients) and ultrasound-guided RSB combined with subcostal TAPB (group NB, 30 patients). Group LA local infiltration anesthesia was performed with 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 20ml; group NB RSB, 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 15 ml were injected into the lateral rectus sheath, and TAPB, 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml were injected into the transversus abdominis plane. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at the point of entering the operating room (T 0), after anaesthesia (T 1), at the beginning of operation (T 2), twenty minutes after the beginning of operation (T 3), and at the end of the operation (T 4). The duration of operation, the times of additional local anesthetia during the surgery, the score of visual analogue scale (VAS) during and 24 h after the surgery, the rate of alteration to general anesthesia and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded. Results:In group LA, compared with T 0, MAP and HR at T 2 and T 3 increased significantly (93.1 ± 9.7), (99.8 ± 11.6) times/min vs. (78.4 ± 10.5) times/min and (105.1 ± 13.7), (110.5 ± 14.4) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (92.1 ± 12.8) mmHg, P<0.05. In group NB, there were no differences among T 0-T 4. At T 2 and T 3, MAP and HR in group LA were higher than those in group NB ( P<0.05). Compared with that in group LA, the duration of operation time decreased significantly in group NB ( P<0.05). The times of additional local anesthetia during the surgery in group LA were more than those in group NB ( P<0.05). Compared with those in group LA, the VAS scores during and 24 h after the surgery in group NB were significantly lower (3.25 ± 0.65) scores vs. (5.85 ± 0.76) scores, (1.46 ± 0.57) scores vs. (2.37 ± 0.45) scores, P<0.05. There were no significant differences in the rate of alteration to general anesthesia between the two groups 3.33% (1/30) vs. 0, P>0.05. There was no adverse reaction in these two groups. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block combined with subcostal transversus abdominis plane block is safe and effective in peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation. The effect of intraoperative anesthesia is definite, with little influence on hemodynamics. The postoperative analgesia effect is good, without obvious anaesthesia-related adverse events.
