Abstract

Abstract Background and objectives We aimed to evaluate the effect of bupivacaine and dexmedetomidine added to bupivacaine used in tranversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on postoperative pain and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Methods Patients submitted to lower abdominal surgery were enrolled in the study. After anesthesia induction, ultrasound guided TAP block was performed. TAP block was obtained with 21 mL 0.9% saline in Group C (n = 31), 20 mL 0.5% bupivacaine + 1 mL saline in Group B (n = 31), and 20 mL 0.5% bupivacaine + 1 mL dexmedetomidine (100 µg) in Group BD (n = 31). Results Visual analog scale scores were lower in Group BD compared to Group C, at all time points (p < 0.05); it was lower in group BD than in group B at 10-24 h. In Group B, it was lower than Group C at 2-8 h (p < 0.05). Total morphine consumption was lower in Group BD compared to other groups and lower in group B than in the controls (p < 0.001). Patient satisfaction was higher in Group BD than in other groups and was higher in both study groups than in the controls (p < 0.001). Nausea-vomiting scores, antiemetic requirement, or additional analgesic administration were not significant among groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions The addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine on TAP block decreased postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption; it also increased patient satisfaction in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Dexmedetomidine did not have any effect on nausea and vomiting score and antiemetic requirement.

Resumo

Resumo Justificativa e objetivos O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito de bupivacaína e dexmedetomidina adicionada à bupivacaína para bloqueio do plano transverso abdominal (TAP) no controle da dor e satisfação do paciente após cirurgia abdominal inferior. Métodos Pacientes submetidos à cirurgia abdominal inferior foram incluídos no estudo. Após a indução da anestesia, o bloqueio TAP guiado por ultrassom foi feito com 21 mL de solução salina a 0,9% no Grupo C (n = 31), 20 mL de bupivacaína a 0,5% + 1 mL de solução salina no Grupo B (n = 31) e 20 mL de bupivacaína a 0,5% + 1 mL de dexmedetomidina (100 µg) no grupo BD (n = 31). Resultados Os escores da escala visual analógica foram menores no Grupo BD comparado com o Grupo C em todos os tempos mensurados (p < 0,05); foi menor no Grupo BD do que no Grupo B em 10-24 horas. No Grupo B, os escores VAS foram menores do que no Grupo C em 2-8 horas (p < 0,05). O consumo total de morfina foi menor no Grupo BD em comparação com outros grupos e menor no Grupo B do que nos controles (p < 0,001). A satisfação do paciente foi maior no Grupo BD do que nos outros grupos e maior em ambos os grupos de estudo do que nos controles (p < 0,001). Os escores de náusea e vômito, necessidade de antiemético ou de analgésicos adicionais não foram significativos entre os grupos (p > 0,05). Conclusões A adição de dexmedetomidina à bupivacaína em bloqueio TAP reduziu os escores de dor e o consumo de morfina no pós-operatório, além de aumentar a satisfação em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia abdominal inferior. Dexmedetomidina não apresentou efeito sobre os escores de náusea e vômito e a necessidade de antiemético.
