Objective To research the anesthetic effect of ropivacaine compounding with dezocine on brachial plexus block.Methods From January 2011 to September 2013,180 cases upper extremity surgery patients were selected and divided into group A,group B and group C in Nanyang Central Hospital.Patients in group A received 25 mL 0.4%ropivacaine injection for brachial plexus block;based on group A,group B was injected 10 mg dezocine to assist anesthesia;group C received a mixture of 25 mL 0.4% ropivacaine and 10mg dezocine injection.The anesthetic effect and adverse reactions of the patients in three groups were recorded and compared. Results The onset of anesthesia of group C was(17.43 ±1.53)min,which was the shortest of three groups,but there were no significant differences.The duration of sensory blockade and duration of analgesia was(8.22 ±1.63)h and (11.33 ±1.90)h,which were all longer than group A and group B,and there was significant differences(P<0.05);the visual analogue scale(VAS) scores of group C at each time before surgery was the shortest,but there were no significant differences.The VAS scores of group C at 1 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h after surgery were all lower than group A and B,and there were no significant differences.Conclusion Ropivacaine compounding with dezocine on brachial plexus block can improve the effect of anesthesia,extend the duration of analgesia.
