Application of Dexmedetomidine in Surgical Anesthesia for Gastric Cancer and Its Effects on IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and...

This study was performed to analyze the application of dexmedetomidine (Dex) in anesthesia for gastric cancer surgery and its effect on serum inflammatory factors in patients. In this regard, a total of 78 patients with gastric cancer who were hospitalized in our hospital from January 2020 to September 2023 and received general intravenous anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups (n=39 in each group). The conventional group was given the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution 10min before induction of anesthesia, and the Dex group was given Dex1μg/kg intravenous pump 10min before induction of anesthesia. The hemodynamics, serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, CRP, propofol, remifentanil, and the total incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups at different periods. The results showed that the mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), serum IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP in the Dex group were compared with those in the routine group (P>0.05). MAP and HR in T1, T2 and T3Dex groups were lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). The serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP in T4 and T5 of the Dex group were lower than those of the routine group (P<0.05). The dosage of propofol and remifentanil in the Dex group was lower than those in the conventional group (P<0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the Dex group (5.13%) was compared with that in the conventional group (10.26%), P>0.05. It was concluded that Dex can effectively maintain the stability of hemodynamics during gastric cancer surgery, reduce the dosage of propofol and other anesthetic drugs, reduce inflammation, and has a certain safety without obvious adverse reactions.
