Methods Thirty-nine patients scheduled for abdominal surgeries were randomly assigned to different PCA treatment groups using either lornoxicam or fentanyl postoperatively. Pain intensity difference (PID) and sum of pain intensity difference (SPID) were used to assess the analgesic efficacy of both drugs during a 24-hour period. Results The analgesic efficacy of lornoxicam is 1/66 of fentanyl, which was shown by SPID value of 3.250 and 3.058, respectively (P > 0.05). Lornoxicam caused fewer adverse events than fentanyl (33% vs. 68%, P < 0.05). Conclusion In clinic, we can use lornoxicam to treat postoperative pain effectively and with less adverse reactions com-pared with fentanyl.展开更多

Both groups were initially administered 1 mg midazolam, 50 mg ketamine and 30-50 mg propofol. Continuation of sedation was performed by the anaesthetist in the SSAgroup and the nurse with a patient-controlled analgesia(PCA) pump in the SSEN group. The total propofol consumption, procedure duration, recovery times, pain using the visual analogue scale(VAS) and satisfaction score of the patients, and side effects were recorded. In addition, the patients were asked whether they remembered the procedure and whether they would prefer the same method in the case of re-endoscopy.RESULTS Total propofol consumption in the SSEN group was significantly higher(P < 0.05) than that in the SSA group. When the groups were compared in terms of VAS score, recovery time, patient satisfaction, recall of the procedure, re-preference for the same method in case of re-endoscopy, and side effects, there were no significant differences(P > 0.05) between the two groups. No long-term required intervention side effects were observed in either group.CONCLUSION Colonoscopy sedation in ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients can be safely performed by an endoscopy nurse using PCA pump with the incidence of side effects and patient satisfaction levels similar to sedation under anaesthetist supervision.展开更多

Methods: Sixty benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under general anesthesia with laryngeal mask airway (LMA) were randomly divided into groups F and S. Group F (n=30) received PCIA device with fentanyl 10 μg/kg+8 mg ondansetron, and Group S (n=30) received placebo (PCIA device with 8 mg ondansetron). The visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain were evaluated at 0, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 48 h by the same staff. And recorded were incidence of cystospasm, side effects, application of hemostatic, duration of drawing Foley catheter and continuous bladder irrigation, time of exhaust after operation, time of post-operative stay and cost of hospitalization. Results: The incidence of cystospasm in Group F was significantly lower than that in Group S in the 48 h after operation (P<0.05), the VAS scores for pain in Group F was significantly lower than that in Group S within the 48 h after operation (P<0.01). The time of exhaust after operation in Group F was significantly later than in Group S (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed in applications of hemostatic, duration of drawing Foley catheter, duration of continuous bladder irrigation, time of post-operative stay and cost of hospitalization between the 2 groups. Conclusion: PCIA with fentanyl (10 μg/kg) relieves pain with little side effect and reduces cystospasm satisfactorily.展开更多
