Effect of dexmedetomidine on tracheal extubation response in patients undergoing thyroid surgery after general anesthesia / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on tracheal extubation response in patients undergoing thyroid surgery after general anesthesia.Methods Forty-two patients who ASA classification Ⅰ - Ⅱ,were performed thyroid surgery under total intravenous anesthesia.They were divided into dexmedetomidine group and control group by random number table with 21 cases each.Both groups patients anesthesia induction and maintenance with the same methods,dexmedetomidine group patients at 15 min before anesthesia induction with venous infusion dexmedetomidine 0.6 μ g/kg(finished 10 min infusion),followed by 0.4 μ g/(kg · h) continuous infusion,control group patients with pump equivalent in 0.9％ sodium chloride injection in the same way.Systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR),surgery time,recovery time,extubation time,orientation recovery time,modified Aldrete score ≥9 scores time,rate of recovery from restlessness,tolerance score and recovery from any adverse effects were recorded.ResultsThere were no significant differences between two groups in surgery time,recovery time,extubation time,orientation recovery time,modified Aldrete score ≥ 9 scores time (P ＞0.05).SBP,DBP,HR at immediately and after extubation with 1,3,5 min of dexmedetomidine group were lower than those of control group(P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ).Tolerance score excellent rate of dexmedetomidine group was higher than that of control group[95.2％ (20/21) vs.28.6％ (6/21)] (P ＜ 0.05),the rate of recovery from restlessness of dexmedetomidine group was lower than that of control group[0 vs.28.6％(6/21 ) ] (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionBefore anesthesia induction in patients with venous infusion dexmedetomidine 0.6 p g/kg(finished 10 min infusion),followed by 0.4 p g/(kg·h) continuous infusion can effectively reduce the patients' cardiovascular response to extubation,strengthen the patients' tolerance to endotracheal tube,reduce the patients' agitation and recover consciousness comfortable.
