Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of Parecoxib sodium combined with Dexmedetomidine (DEX) on restlessness during the recovery period of endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods From January 2020 to February 2021, 104 patients underwent endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. All the patients were randomly divided into experimental group (DEX plus Parecoxib sodium group, DP group) and control group (DEX group, D group), with 52 cases in each group. Before induction of anesthesia, DEX 0.5 μg/kg was given intravenously for 10 min, then 0.4 μg/(kg·h) was continuously pumped, and the drug was stopped 30 min before the end of operation. In DP group, Dexmedetomidine was given 40 mg intravenous injection immediately after stopping the drug. Ricker sedation-agitation scale was used to evaluate the restlessness scores of the two groups during extubation and 5 min minutes after extubation. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain scores of patients at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after operation. RSAS and VAS after operation, incidence of nausea and vomiting, epistaxis and gastrointestinal discomfort were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with D group, the RSAS of DP group was significantly lower during the recovery period [(3.6 ± 0.7) vs (4.0 ± 0.8), (3.8 ± 0.4) vs (4.0 ± 0.2) ], and the VAS was lower at 2, 4 and 8 h after operation (P < 0.05). There were no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, epistaxis and gastrointestinal discomfort between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion The combination of Parecoxib sodium and DEX in nasal endoscopic surgery can reduce the RSAS in recovery period and has a good analgesic effect on early postoperative pain.
