ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influence of preemptive analgesia with Hydr- omorphone Hy-drochloride on postoperative cognitive function and inflammation cytokines in the elderly patients. Methods Ninety ASA I orⅡ elder patients were randomly divided in control group (C)and Hydromorphone Hydrochloride group(H) with 45 cases each. Hydromorphone Hydrochloride 2 mg was injected iv before induction of anesthesia in group H. Observed plasma concentrations of the CRP、 TNF-α and IL-6 at different time. Cognitive function was assessed by minimental state examination. Results Plasma the CRP、 TNF-a and IL-6 concentrations were lower and MMSE scales were higher in group H than in group C. Conclusion Preemptive analgesia with Hy-dromorphone Hydrochloride 2 mg can reduce the incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the elderly patients.
