Protective Effect of Ketamine and Dexamethasone on Lung Injury in the Esophageal Cancer Thoracotomy / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effect of ketamine and dexamethasone on lung injury in esophageal cancer thoracotomy. METHODS:60 patients with one-lung ventilation thoracotomy were randomly divided into 4 groupsblank group (group S),ketamine group(group K),dexamethasone group(group D)and ketamine and dexamethasone group(group KD)by number. After surgery,the patient-controlled epidural anaigesia (PCEA) was used to record the concentrations of IL-6,IL-8, TNF-α with the time point of preoperative 30 min (T0),60 min after one-lung ventilation (OLV)(T1),120 min after the OLV (T2),2 h after restore double-lung ventilation(T3),the changes of respiratory index(RI)in blood gas analysis and the analgesic effect and adverse reactions in 48 h after treatment. RESULTS:There was no obvious difference between the blood pressure and heart rate in 4 groups. Compared with T0,the RI values in T1,T2 and T3 were increased;compared with group KD,the RI values in T2 and T3 in group K,group D and group S were increased;compared with T0,the concentrations of IL-6 and IL-8 in T1,T2 and T3 were increased(P0.05)and the con-centration of TNF-α in 4 groups was lower than minimum detectable concentrations;compared with group KD,the scores of anal-gesia visual analogue scale(VAS)and Prince-Henry in postoperative 48 h in group K and group S were higher(P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Ketamine and dexamethasone can reduce the release of inflammatory mediators,decrease the RI values,increase the analgesia effect and has certain protective effect on lung injury.
