Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the reliability of PainVision method for assessment of postoperative pain in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy.Methods Twenty ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients,aged 30-45 yr,undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy under fentanyl-propofol-cisatracurium anesthesia,were studied.Pain intensity was simultaneously assessed using PainVision method and visual analog scale (VAS) at 12,24 and 48 h after surgery.PainVision was a new method for quantitative measurement of pain intensity using a painless electrical stimulation (PainVision PS-2100 device).Pain degree was calculated from two parameters,current perception threshold and pain compatible electrical current by using PainVision.The former parameter was defined by the lowest electrical current detected ; the latter parameter defined by the electrical current judged as being compatible with the intensity of ongoing pain.Results There was a significant positive correlation between pain degree calculated by PainVision method and VAS scores,and the correlation coefficient was 0.902 (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion PainVision method can be applied for assessment of postoperative pain in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy.
