Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of midazolam combined with oxycodone in fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation of burn patients with difficult airway.Methods 80 burn patients with difficult airway who underwent fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation from March 2023 to March 2024 were included as the study subjects. They were assigned into two groups based on anesthesia medication: the control group (40 cases) was given midazolam anesthesia, and the combined group (40 cases) was given midazolam combined with oxycodone anesthesia. The one-time success rate of intubation, hemodynamic indicators [heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2)], Ramsay sedation score, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The success rate of intubation in the combined group (95.00%) was higher than that in the control group (72.50%), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The HR and MAP of both groups decreased after administration (T1), 1 min after intubation (T2), and 5 min after intubation (T3) compared to before administration (T0), and the HR of the combined group was lower than that of the control group, while the MAP was higher than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The SpO2 at T1, T2 and T3 time points in the control group was significantly lower than T0 time point, the SpO2 of the combined group was higher than that of the control group at T1 and T2 time points, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); The Ramsay sedation score at T2 and T3 time points was lower than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the combined group (12.50%) showed no obvious difference compared to the control group (7.50%) (P > 0.05).Conclusion The combination of midazolam and oxycodone has a good healing effect in fiberoptic bronchoscope intubation of burn patients with difficult airway, with a higher success rate of intubation, better sedation, and can maintain hemodynamic stability. It also has high medication safety.
