Clinical research on application of epidural and subcutaneous multimodal analgesia in thoracotomy esophageal cancer operation / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the analgesia effect and adverse reactions of epidural and subcutaneous multimodal analgesia in thoracotomy esophageal cancer resection operation .Methods Forty patients undergoing elective esophageal cancer resection op‐eration were randomly divided into the epidural and subcutaneous analgesia group (group A) and the subcutaneous analgesia group (group B) ,20 cases in each group .The group A adopted 0 .15% ropivacaine and 0 .00002% sufentanil by continuous pumping infu‐sion before and during operation for continuous analgesia ,then intravenous tramadol was given before closing chest ,tramadol and sufentanil subcutaneous patients self‐control analgesia (PCA)were used after operation for analgesia .The group B was given intra‐venous tramadol before closing chest ,then tramadol and sufentanil patient subcutaneous controlled analgesia after operation were used for analgesia .The scores of the visual analogue scale(VAS) ,comfort scale ,sedative scores ,dose of analgesics ,pressing fre‐quency and pressing frequency ratio of PCA ,vital signs and adverse reactions were assessed at different time periods .Results The VAS scores and pressing frequency of PCA at rest and movement in the group A were remarkably decreased compared with the group B ,while the comfort status score and pressing frequency ratio of PCA were obviously increased ,the differences were statisti‐cally significant(P<0 .05);the occurrence rates of adverse reactions such as the vital signs ,sedative scores ,nausea ,vomitting ,skin itch ,chest distress after operation had no statistically significant differences between the two groups .Conclusion Epidural and sub‐cutaneous multimodal analgesia is a better multimodal analgesia scheme in thoracotomy esophageal cancer resection operation .
