Objective:
To observe the safety of slow-release transdermal fentanyl (TDF) used as anesthesia aided drug in endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) peri-operation.
Method:
In 30 cases of ESS operation, we observed their blood pressure, pulse and degree of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2%) before the TDF patch used and 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 60 min after the patch used, their results were compared in respective. We observed the morbidity rate of patients accompanied with nausea, vomiting, bad appetite, skin reaction and vertigo at the same time.
Result:
There were no significant difference of blood pressure before and after the patch used, and so were the pulse and SpO2%. There were no patients accompanied with vomiting, vertigo and skin reaction. Four cases accompanied with nausea and bad appetite.
Conclusion:
TDF is a safe, effective and convenient anesthesia aided drug in ESS peri-operation.
