Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Pain relief in patients with total knee arthroplasty has always been an important problem, and searching for a safe and effective analgesic method is an issue of concern.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of patient controlled nerve femoral analgesia and patient controlled epidural analgesia on the perioperative stress response and hemodynamics in patients with total knee arthroplasty.
METHODS: Sixty patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from August 2012 to January 2016 were selected and equally divided into observation and control groups according to the order of admission. The total knee arthroplasty was completed by the senior doctors using operation criteria. The patient controlled epidural analgesia analgesia was used in the control group, while the observation group received the patient controlled nerve femoral analgesia analgesia. The prognosis, perioperative stress response and hemodynamic changes were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The Visual Analogue Scale scores at postoperative 4, 24 and 48 hours in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (2) The serum level of 5-hydroxytryptamine at postoperative 24 and 48 hours in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The American Knee Society Knee Score scores at baseline showed no significant difference between two groups, and then appeared to be on a significant rise postoperatively (P < 0.05), while the scores at postoperative 1 and 3 months in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (4) The incidence of respiratory depression, urinary retention, atelectasis, skin itching, nausea and vomiting at postoperative 3 months in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (5) These results manifest that compared with the patient controlled epidural analgesia, the patient controlled nerve femoral analgesia in total knee arthroplasty can alleviate the stress response to pain and reduce the expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine and the incidence of complications, further promoting the recovery of joint function.
