Abstract:

 

BACKGROUND: Hip and knee replacement is a common surgery in the clinic; the procedure is relatively complex; and the risk of surgery is relatively high, so that postoperative analgesia is not satisfactory. Perioperative pain management has been a clinical concern. To find safe and effective analgesia has become one of the important tasks of joint surgeons.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of celecoxib on multi-mode analgesia after hip and knee replacement.
METHODS: A total of 80 cases undergoing hip and knee replacement in the Chongqing Dongnan Hospital from September 2012 to September 2013 were enrolled in this study. These patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the control group, celecoxib was not used for analgesia after replacement. In the experimental group, celecoxib was used after replacement. The pain was observed at 1-5 days after surgery in the two groups. When the analgesic pump was removed, the drug dosage and opioid analgesics use were recorded. Side effects of drug use were also recorded. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In terms of analgesic efficacy, the analgesic effect was better in the experimental group than in the control group (95%, 85%, P < 0.05). 95% patients in the experimental group were satisfied with the analgesia, which was significantly higher than in the control group (65%; P < 0.05). No significant difference in pain visual analogue scale score was detected between the two groups immediately, 4 and 5 days after surgery (P > 0.05). Pain visual analogue scale score was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group at 1, 2 and 3 days post surgery (P < 0.05). The drug dosage was significantly more in the experimental group than in the control group after surgery (P < 0.05). The frequency of opioid use in the experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). The complication rate was significantly lower in the experimental group (8%) than in the control group (18%) (P < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the analgesic effect of celecoxib was ideal after hip and knee replacement using multi-mode analgesia, which can reduce the dose of analgesic drugs and have small adverse reaction.
