Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of femoral nerve block combined with celecoxib on postoperative analgesia in elderly patients with hip fracture. Methods Two hundreds ASA -Ⅲ patients aged 65-89 yrweighing 35-90 kg undergoing hip fracture surgery were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 50 each):control group (group Ⅰ ), femoral nerve block group ( group Ⅱ ), celecoxib group (group Ⅲ ) and femoral nerve block +celecoxib group (group Ⅳ ). Operations were performed under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Groups Ⅲand Ⅳ were given oral celecoxib 400 mg at 1 h before operation, and 200 mg at 1 and 2 days after operation twice a day. Groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ received iv injection of sufentanil 0.06 μg/kg before the patients were placed in the position, while in groups Ⅱ and Ⅳ femoral nerve block was performed using a nerve stimulation with 20 ml of 0.5%ropivacaine and 10 min later the patients were placed in the position. All the patients received postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with sufentanil to maintain visual analogue scale score ≤ 3. The condition of satisfactory analgesia and sufentanil consumption within 24, 48 and 72 h were recorded. The coagulation function was measured on the day of admission to the hospital, at 1 day before operation and at 4 days after operation. Cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) concentrations were measured before operation, at the end of operation and at 1 day after operation. Postoperative complications was observed and recorded. Results Compared with group Ⅰ , the consumption of sufentanil was significantly reduced during each period in group Ⅳ ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Compared with group Ⅱ , the consumption of sufentanil was significantly reduced within 48 and 72 h after operation (P ＜ 0.05), while no significant change was found within 24 h after operation in group Ⅳ ( P ＞ 0.05). Compared with group Ⅲ , the consumption of sufentanil was significantly reduced within 24 h after operation ( P ＜ 0.05 ), while no significant change was found within 48 and 72 h in group Ⅳ ( P ＞ 0.05). The level of satisfactory analgesia was significantly higher in group Ⅳ than in the other three groups, and in groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ ( P ＜ 0.05). The 4 groups were comparable with respect to the increased rate of cTnI concentrations at the end of operation and after operation, and perioperative blood coagulation. No postoperative complications were found in the 4 groups. Conclusion Femoral nerve block combined with celecoxib can reduce postoperative opioid consumption and enhance postoperative analgesia in elderly patients with hip fracture.
