About this study

Official title: Effect of Dexmedetomidine Combined With Dezocine and Flubiprofen for Postoperative Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia After Colorectal Surgery

The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine as an adjunctive analgesic, combined with dezocine and flubiprofen, used in intravenous Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) after open colorectal surgery.

Read the detailed description

Dexmedetomidine is a selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonist, which has been demonstrated to have anaesthetic, sedative and analgesic-sparing effects. Besides, Dexmedetomidine has been reported to cause sedative effects and reduce opioid requirements in the perioperative period. Many studies had been conducted to reduce the side effect of opioid analgesic. The current trend of reducing opioid analgesic side effect is direct combination of other drugs in PCA. The advantages of this method are convenient in clinical use and preventive for side effects.

In this study, 50 patients who is undergoing elective colorectal surgery will be randomly allocated into two groups (Control group and Dexmedetomidine group). Patients in both groups will be given a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump in post anesthetic recovery unit (PACU) after surgery.

The PCA protocol of Control group is dezocine 0.6mg/kg, flubiprofen 3mg/kg, diluted into 120ml and administer at a background infusion of 2ml/h, and a bolus of 2ml, with a lock-out of 15min. The PCA protocol of Dexmedetomidine group is dezocine 0.6mg/kg, flubiprofen 3mg/k and dexmedetomidine 6μg/kg diluted into 120ml and administer at a background infusion of 2ml/h, and a bolus of 2ml, with a lock-out of 15min.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dezocine consumption by patient-controlled analgesia

    The total consumption of dezocine during 24 hours after surgery are recorded.

    Measured: At 24 hours after surgery

  2. Change in pain score

    Pain scores at rest and movement are evaluated with a numeric rating scale (NRS).

    Measured: At 0, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in ramsay sedation score

    Measure sedation level by using ramsay sedation score

    Measured: At 0, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery

  2. The incidence rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV)

    Measure whether nausea and vomiting exist and the level of severity.

    Measured: At 24 hours after surgery
