Abstract

Background: The study was to assess the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine combined with dexmedetomidine for preventive analgesia in endoscopic sinus surgery.

Methods: 110 patients with deviation of the nasal septum were randomized into the nalbuphine group (group N), dexmedetomidine combined with nalbuphine group (group DN), and saline group (group C). Fifteen minutes before the induction of anesthesia, patients in group N were injected nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg intravenously; patients in group DN received intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg and injection of nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg; patients in group C received 0.9% saline. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), numerical rating scale (NRS) scores, quality of recovery-40 (QoR-40) scores, the need for remedial analgesia, the consumption of remifentanil and propofol, and the incidence of adverse reactions were recorded.

Results: MAP, HR, and NRS scores of the DN group were significantly lower and the QoR-40 scores were higher than those of groups N and C (P < 0.001). The need for remedial analgesia, the consumption of remifentanil and propofol, and the incidence of nausea in the DN group were the lowest among the three groups (P < 0.001).

Conclusion: Preventive analgesia with nalbuphine and dexmedetomidine in endoscopic sinus surgery can not only maintain hemodynamic stability but also reduce intraoperative anesthetic dosage, postoperative pain, and improve the quality of postoperative recovery without affecting the revival and extubation time.
