Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine on anesthesia analgesia and postopera-tive cognitive dysfunction (POCD)in elderly patients with lumbar surgery.Methods Ninety elderly patients with lumbar surgery were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (A group with 46 cases)and control group (B group with 44 cases)by the random number table method.A group received load dosage (1μg/kg)dexmedetomidine before anesthesia induction,and this process must last for more than 10 minutes,then the dexmedetomidine was main-tained at a speed of 0.5μg/(kg·h)during the operation.B group were given the same dosage normal saline in the same way instead.The amount of intraoperative sedation drugs was observed and analyzed in the two groups.MMSE was measured at one day before surgery and seven days after surgery.And,the incidence rate of POCD was compared between the two groups.Results The dosage of intraoperative sedation drugs of fentanyl[(0.57 ±0.11 )mg vs (0.78 ±0.13)mg;t =8.286,P =0.000],propofol[(522.5 ±137.2)mg vs (734.2 ±175.8)mg;t =6.384,P =0.000]and remifentanil[(0.92 ±0.26)mg vs (1.38 ±0.73)mg;t =3.947,P =0.000]in A group were significantly lower than those of group B.After treatment for 7 days,the MMSE score in A group[(27.57 ±1.58)points]was higher than that of B group[(25.02 ±2.14)points](t =6.451,P =0.000).The incidence rate of POCD in A group (6.52%)was significantly lower than that of B group (22.73%),and the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =4.779,P =0.028).Conclusion In elderly patients with lumbar surgery,the dexmedetomidine can cut down the dosage of intraoperative sedation drugs,and it also could reduce the incidence of POCD.
