Clinical observation of different ways of anesthesia in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the influences of general anesthesia and intra spinal anesthesia on circulation, respiration, body temperature and anesthesia-related complications in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and assess the effectiveness and safety of both anesthesia. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients elective for PCNL surgery were divided into two groups by random digits table with 20 cases eachgroup Ⅰ (endotracheal general anesthesia) and group Ⅱ (intra spinal anesthesia). The temperature, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) values and postoperative shivering, nausea, vomiting, back discomfort and the incidence of sore throat were observed and recorded. Results The anesthesia was stable, there were no changes in MAP, HR at different time in group Ⅰ . The anesthesia in group Ⅱ was effective, MAP at 15 min after anesthesia,and HR,MAP after lithotomy position and prone position were obviously changed in group Ⅱ compared with those before anesthesia and group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05 ). The temperature at 30,60,90, 120 min after anesthesia decreased compared with that before anesthesia in two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ), and the temperature at 30,60 min after anesthesia in group Ⅰ [(35.8 ±0.6), (34.8 ± 0.5)℃] was lower than that in group Ⅱ [(36.2 ± 0.6),(35.6 ± 0.5)℃](P＜ 0.05).During recovery,complications such as shivering, nausea,sore throat, back discomfort occurred to some extent, of which the incidence of shivering was the highest. Conclusion Both of two anesthesia are applicable to PCNL. When intra spinal anesthesia is used,the life indicators of patients need to be observed and general anesthesia is preferable for the obesity,less physical and the old with poorly compensatory function.
