Abstract

PURPOSE: Postoperative pain and nausea/vomitting (PNV) are common in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Sympatholytic agents might decrease requirements for intravenous or inhalation anesthetics and opioids. In this study we aimed to analyze effects of esmolol on intraoperative anesthetic-postoperative analgesic requirements, postoperative pain and PNV. METHODS: Sixty patients have been included. Propofol, remifentanil and vecuronium were used for induction. Study groups were as follows; I - Esmolol infusion was added to maintenance anesthetics (propofol and remifentanil), II - Only propofol and remifentanil was used during maintenance, III - Esmolol infusion was added to maintenance anesthetics (desflurane and remifentanil), IV - Only desflurane and remifentanil was used during maintenance. They have been followed up for 24 h for PNV and analgesic requirements. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain was also been evaluated. RESULTS: VAS scores were significantly lowest in group I (p = 0.001-0.028). PNV incidence was significantly lowest in group I (p = 0.026). PNV incidence was also lower in group III compared to group IV (p = 0.032). Analgesic requirements were significantly lower in group I and was lower in group III compared to group IV (p = 0.005). Heart rates were significantly lower in esmolol groups (group I and III) compared to their controls (p = 0.001) however blood pressures were similar in all groups (p = 0.594). Comparison of esmolol groups with controls revealed that there is a significant decrease in anesthetic and opioid requirements (p = 0.024-0.03). CONCLUSION: Using esmolol during anesthetic maintenance significantly decreases anesthetic-analgesic requirements, postoperative pain and PNV.

Resumo

OBJETIVO: A dor e a incidência de náusea e vômito no período pós-operatório (NVP) são comuns em pacientes submetidos à colecistectomia laparoscópica. Os agentes simpatolíticos podem diminuir a necessidade de opiáceos ou anestésicos inalatórios ou intravenosos. Neste estudo, nosso objetivo foi analisar os efeitos de esmolol sobre a necessidade de anestésico no período intraoperatório e de analgésico no pós-operatório e a incidência de dor e NVP. MÉTODOS: Sessenta pacientes foram incluídos. Propofol, remifentanil e vecurônio foram usados para a indução. Os grupos de estudo foram os seguintes: grupo I, a infusão de esmolol foi adicionada aos anestésicos (propofol e remifentanil) para manutenção; grupo II, apenas propofol e remifentanil foram usados durante a manutenção; grupo III, a infusão de esmolol foi adicionada aos anestésicos (desflurano e remifentanil) para manutenção; grupo IV, apenas desflurano e remifentanil foram usados durante a manutenção. O período de acompanhamento foi de 24 horas para avaliar a incidência de NVP e a necessidade de analgésicos. Os escores de dor também foram avaliados por meio da escala visual analógica (EVA). RESULTADOS: Os escores EVA foram significativamente menores no grupo I (p = 0,001-0,028). A incidência de NVP foi significativamente menor no grupo I (p = 0,026). NVP também foi menor no grupo III em relação ao grupo IV (p = 0,032). A necessidade de analgésicos foi significativamente menor no grupo I e menor no grupo III em relação ao grupo IV (p = 0,005). A frequência cardíaca foi significativamente menor nos grupos esmolol (grupos I e III) comparados com os controles (p = 0,001), mas a pressão arterial foi semelhante em todos os grupos (p = 0,594). A comparação entre os grupos esmolol e controles revelou que houve uma diminuição. CONCLUSÃO: O uso de esmolol durante a manutenção da anestesia reduz significativamente a necessidade de anestésico-analgésico, dor e incidência de NVP.
