Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of thoracic paravertebral block for preemptive analgesia in the patients undergoing minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MIDCAB).Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 54-75 yr,weighing 55-82 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical Ⅱ or Ⅲ,with New York Heart Association Ⅰ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective MIDCAB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) by using a random number table:control group (group C) and thoracic paravertebral block group (group P).Thoracic paravertebral block was performed under the guidance of a nerve stimulator in group P.A paravertebral catheter was placed at T4,5 interspace,a test dose of 0.5％ ropivacacine 5 ml was injected through the catheter,and 5 min later a bolus dose of 0.5％ ropivacacine 15 ml was injected.Anesthesia was induced with intravenous etomidate,midazolam,fentanyl and vecuronium.All the patients were intubated with a double-lumen endobronchial tube and mechanically ventilated,and end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide was maintained at 30-40 mmHg.Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous injection of fentanyl and vecuronium,intravenous infusion of propofol,and inhalation of sevoflurane.Bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60.When systolic blood pressure ＞ 160 mmHg,fentanyl 0.1 mg was injected intravenously.Both groups started to receive patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after extubation until 48 h after operation.PCIA solution contained morphine in 100 ml of normal saline.The PCIA pump was set up with a 2 mg bolus dose,a 10 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 0.5 mg/h.Visual analogue scale was maintained ≤ 4.When visual analogue scale＞4,morphine 4 mg was injected intravenously as rescue analgesic.The consumption of intraoperative fentanyl was recorded.The consumption of morphine and requirement for rescue analgesics were recorded within 24 and 48 h after operation.The adverse reactions such as somnolence,nausea and vomiting,respiratory depression,pruritus,and atelectasis were recorded within 48 h after operation.The extubation time after operation,length of time in intensive care unit,and recovery time after operation were recorded.At 24 and 48 h after operation,pulmonary function was detected,the forced vital capacity (FVC) expressed as a percentage of the predicted value (FVC％),and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)expressed as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV1 ％) were recorded,and the ratio of FEV1/FVC was calculated.Blood gas analysis was performed,and arterial oxygen partial pressure and partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide were recorded at 24 and 48 h after operation.Results Compared with group C,the intraoperative consumption of fentanyl and consumption of morphine within 24 and 48 h after operation were significantly reduced,the extubation time and length of time in intensive care unit were shortened,FVC％ and FEV1％ were increased at 24 and 48 h after operation,the partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide and incidence of somnolence were decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the FEV1 / FVC,arterial oxygen partial pressure,requirement for rescue analgesics and recovery time after operation in group P (P＞0.05).Conclusion Thoracic paravertebral block analgesia can provide good preempive analgesia in the patients undergoing MIDCAB.
