Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of oxycodone prolonged-release tablets on the short-term prognosis in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction udergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods Totally, one hundred and two patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were included into this study. Patients were randomly divided into oxycodone group and control group, with 51 cases in each group. Besides the routine loading dose of dual antiplatelet drugs (aspirin 300 mg, ticagrelor 180 mg) and atorvastatin (20 mg), patients in the oxycodone group were given oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged--release tablets 10 mg orally within 30 minutes before operation, and the control group was given placebo accordingly. Then, primary PCI was performed. The baseline data of the two groups, the cardiac function index before and after the procedure, and the major adverse cardiovascular events in one month after PCI was collected to evaluate the effects of oxycodone prolonged-release tablets on the short-term prognosis in these patients. Results The level of NT-pro BNP and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter in the oxycodone group were lower and left ventricular ejection fraction was higher than in the control group 30 days after the procedure (P < 0.05). The incidence of stent thrombosis, heart failure, secondary operation and major adverse cardiovascular events in oxycodone group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Application of oxycodone prolonged-release tablets can improve cardiac function and reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction 30 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
