Objective:To explore the anesthetic effect of butorphanol combined with ropivacaine iliac fascia space block and femoral nerve combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block in tibiofibular fracture surgery.Methods:A total of 86 patients with tibiofibular fractures admitted to the Sun Simiao Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Tongchuan Mining Bureau Central Hospital from December 2022 to December 2023 were selected and divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 42 cases in each group. The control group was given femoral nerve combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block anesthesia, and the observation group was given iliac fascia space block anesthesia. The changes of heart rate (HR) and peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO 2) at different time points during operation (before nerve block, 15 min after nerve block, 5 min before the end of operation) were compared between the two groups. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain degree at 6 h and 24 h after operation. The serum levels of prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were compared between the two groups before operation and 24 h after operation. The duration of sensory block and motor nerve block after operation were recorded. The occurrence of postoperative complications was recorded. Results:There were no significant differences in HR and SpO 2 between the two groups at different time points during operation (all P>0.05). The VAS scores at 24 h after operation in both groups were lower than those at 6 h after operation (all P<0.05). At 6 h and 24 h after operation, the VAS scores of pain in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The serum CAT and SOD levels at 24 h after operation in both groups were lower than those before operation, and the serum PGE 2 levels were higher than those before operation, the serum CAT and SOD levels at 24 h after operation in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05), and the serum PGE 2 in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The motor nerve block time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, and the sensory block duration was longer than that in the control group (all P<0.05). There were 3 cases of nausea and 1 case of vomiting in the observation group, and 4 cases of nausea, 1 case of vomiting and 1 case of delirium in the control group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups [9.52%(4/42) vs 14.29%(6/42), P>0.05]. Conclusions:Compared with femoral nerve combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block, the iliac fascia space block anesthesia applied in the anesthetic management of tibiofibular fracture surgery has more stable intraoperative analgesic and sedative effects, helps to reduce the degree of postoperative pain, and has good safety.
