Effect of preemptive analgesia with intravenous oxycodone in the patients undergoing laparoscopic resection of ovarian tumor

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of preemptive intravenous oxycodone in the patients undergoing laparoscopic resection of ovarian tumor.

Methods: Sixty ASA I or II patients undergoing elective laparoscopic resection of ovarian tumor were randomly allocated to one of two groups: Group O (n=30) received intravenous oxycodone (0.1 mg·kg-1) 10 minutes before surgery over 2 minutes, and Group N (n=30) received an equivalent volume of normal saline. All patients received a standardized general anesthesia. MBP and HR at the time of arrival of the operating room (T1), 5 min before pneumoperitoneum (T2), 5 minutes (T3), 10 minutes (T4), and 15 minutes after pneumoperitoneum (T5), and VAS scores at postoperative 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour were recorded. The tramadol consumption and side effects in 24 h after surgery were recorded.

Results: VAS pain scores at 2, 4 , 8 and 12 hour after operation were significantly lower in Group O (P<0.05). MBP and HR increased significantly due to pneumoperitoneum at T3, T4 and T5, compared with T1 and T2 within Group N, and were higher at T3, T4 and T5 in Group N than at the same time points in Group O. Tramadol consumption was statistically lower in Group O (P=0.0003).

Conclusions: Preemptive intravenous oxycodone was an efficient and safe method to reduce intraoperative haemodynamic effect and postoperative pain.
