Dose-effect relationship of nalbuphine preventing injection pain of medium plus long chain triglyceride propofol in pediatric patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To determine the dose-effect relationship of nalbuphine preventing injection pain of medium plus long chain triglyceride propofol in pediatric patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy.Methods:Pediatric patients, aged 3-8 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective gastroenteroscopy, were enrolled in the study.The doses of nalbuphine were determined by up-down sequential allocation, nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg was injected intravenously in the first child, and 5 min later medium plus long chain triglyceride propofol 2.5 mg/kg was given intravenously.Ambesh 4-point method was used to evaluate the injection pain of propofol.When the prevention of injection pain was ineffective, the dose of nalbuphine was increased in the next patient, otherwise the dose was reduced, and the difference between the two successive doses was 0.01 mg/kg.This process was repeated until the 7th turning point occurred.The ED 50 and ED 95 of nalbuphine and 95% confidence interval (CI) preventing injection pain of propofol were calculated by Probit regression. Results:The ED 50 and ED 95 (95% CI) of nalbuphine preventing medium plus long chain triglyceride propofol injection pain were 1.57 (1.50-1.62) and 1.71 (1.64-2.05) mg/kg, respectively. Conclusion:The ED 50 and ED 95 of nalbuphine preventing injection pain of medium plus long chain triglyceride propofol are 1.57 and 1.71 mg/kg, respectively, in pediatric patients undergoing gastroenteroscopy.
