Abstract:Objective To explore the value and safety of rigid thoracoscope under selective anesthesia with Propofol and Sufentanil.Methods 113 patients who received rigid thoracoscope from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected as the research objects, and divided them into two groups according to the examination methods. Both groups of patients completed preoperative evaluation and preparation. 51 cases in the control group received rigid thoracoscope examination under local anesthesia, while 62 cases in the observation group received rigid thoracoscope examination under selective intravenous injection anesthesia of Propofol combined with Sufentanil. The changes of percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), adverse reactions and the acceptance of rigid thoracoscope were observed.Results There was no significant difference in SpO2 of the two groups before, during and after operation, and intraoperative, preoperative and postoperative comparison of the two groups (P > 0.05). The intraoperative HR of the two groups and the intraoperative heart rate in control group were significant compared with those before and after operation (P < 0.01). The intraoperative SBP of the two groups and the intraoperative blood pressure in control group were statistically significant compared with those before and after operation (P < 0.05). Cough occurred in both groups, with 36 (58.06%) in observation group and 30 (58.82%) in control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). In control group, 45 (88.24%) felt breath-holding and 50 (98.04%) felt pain, while in observation group, patients were asked to feel no breath-holding and pain after waking up, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). 58 patients (93.55%) in observation group and 5 patients (9.80%) in control group were able to receive medical thoracoscopy again. The acceptance degree between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01).Conclusion Thoracoscopic examination induced by selective anesthesia with Sufentanil and Propofol is safe, painless and easy to accept, and embodies the concept of humanized service. It can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of pleural diseases as long as the patients are fully evaluated before rigid thoracoscope examination under the anesthesia induced by Sufentanil combined with Propofol, the indications and contraindications are well grasped, and the conditions of monitoring and rescue are perfect.
