Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo compare the analgesic effect between multimodal and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA) in the perioperative period of knee joint replacement.
METHODSFrom June 2015 to June 2016, 40 RA patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into two groups. There were 20 patients in PCIA group, including 3 males and 17 females, with an average age of(59.6±2.3) years old, who received controlled instillation of sufentanil analgesia controlled by an intravenous analgesia pump. There were 20 patients in multiple model analgesia group, including 2 males and 18 females, with an average age of(56.3±1.3) years old, who were treated with continuous femoral nerve block, local injection of knee joint and combined buprenorphine patches. The VAS score and the incidence of adverse reactions and HSS score were compared between the two groups after operation. The advantages and disadvantages of the two modes of analgesia were evaluated.
RESULTSOn the 6 th and 24 th hours after surgery, the VAS scores of the multimodal analgesia group were significantly lower than those of the PCIA group(<0.01). On the 48 th hour after surgery, the VAS scores was significantly lower in the multimodal analgesia group than those in PCIA group(<0.000 1), both in the state of motion and at rest. On the 1 st week after surgery, the HSS score of the multimodal analgesia group was significantly higher than that in the PCIA group(<0.000 1). The pain score and the degree of activity in HSS score of the multimodal analgesia group were better than those in PCIA group (<0.05). The functional score of multimodal analgesia group was significantly better than that of PCIA group(<0.01). But there was no significant difference in muscle strength scores between two groups.
CONCLUSIONSMultimodal analgesia is an ideal analgesic plan for total knee arthroplasty TKA patients with RA in perioperative period, which has good effects and little adverse reaction.
