Objective:
To investigate the effects of combined anesthesia with dexmedetomide, propofol and remifentanil on perioperative inflammatory response and pulmonary function in patients with lung cancer.
Methods:
90 patients with lung cancer admitted to our hospital from April 2017 to April 2019 were selected. According to different anesthesia schemes, patients undergoing combined anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil were included in group A (GA), and patients receiving combined anesthesia with dexmedetomidine, propofol and remifentanil were included in group B (GB). The blood gas, pulmonary function index, inflammatory factor level in serum, anesthetic effect and complications were compared between the two groups.
Results:
HR indexes at T1 and T2 in GB were significantly lower than those in GA (P<0.001). There was no significant fluctuation in PaCO2 and PaO2 indexes in the two groups at different time points (P>0.05). At T0, T1 and T2, RV/TLC levels in serum increased significantly in the two groups. (MVV-VE)/FEV1 and MVV/FEV levels were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). The fluctuation levels of RV/TLC, (MVV-VE)/FEV1 and MVV/FEV levels in serum of GB were significantly lower than those of GA at T1 and T2 (P<0.05). At T0, T1 and T2, the levels of inflammatory factors in serum were significantly decreased in the two groups (P<0.05), but the levels of inflammatory factors in serum of GB were significantly lower than those of GA at T1 and T2 (P<0.05). The VAS scores of GB were significantly lower than those of GA at 1 hour and 4 hours after operation (P<0.05). Ramsay scores of GB were significantly higher than those of GA at 1 hour and 4 hours after operation (P<0.05). The restlessness score and choking cough score in GB were lower than those in GA (P<0.05). Perioperative complications in GB were better than those in GA (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
On the basis of propofol and remifentanil anesthesia, the combination of dexmedetomidine for anesthesia induction can achieve satisfactory anesthesia effect. On the basis of propofol and remifentanil anesthesia combined with dexmedetomidine for anesthesia induction, it can significantly inhibit the inflammatory response of lung cancer patients during perioperative period and it can more effectively stabilize the blood gas microcirculation and lung function of patients.
