Abstract:Objective To explore the dose and effect of sufentanil in laparoscopic hernia suture ligation in children. Methods Totally 120 cases of indirect inguinal hernia in our hospital from Jan. 2015 to Jan. 2018 were selected. All patients underwent laparoscopic hernia ligation and sufentanil combined with cisatracurium and propofol anesthesia. According to the random number table, they were divided into group A, B and C, 40 cases in each group. During the induction period, different doses of sufentanil (0.3?μg/kg for A group, 0.4?μg/kg for B group, 0.5?μg/kg for C group), midazolam (0.1?mg/kg) and propofol (2.0?mg/kg) were given. During the operation, 0.12 mg/(kg?h) cisbenzenesulfonatracurium and 10 mg/kg?h propofol were used for maintenance, and sufentanil was added according to the heart rate (HR). HR, SBP and SpO2 were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0), before tracheal intubation (T1), at tracheal intubation (T2), at the beginning of surgery (T3), at the establishment of pneumoperitoneum (T4), at 5 minutes after pneumoperitoneum (T5) and at tracheal extubation (T6). The anesthesia induction time, operation time, recovery time, sufentanil addition rate, adverse reactions, and postoperative Wong-Baker facial analgesia score and Ramsay sedation score were compared among the three groups. Results The induction time of anesthesia in group A was longer than that in group B and C (P?0.05). HR, SBP and SpO2 were different at different time points in three groups (P?0.05). HR score and SBP in group C at different time points were lower than those in group A and group B (P?0.05). The analgesic score and sedation score of three groups at different time points after operation were different (P?0.05). The analgesic score of group A was higher than that of group B and C, and the sedation score was lower than that of group B and C (P?0.05). Conclusions For children underwent laparoscopic hernia suture ligation, 0.4?g/kg sufentanil can provide satisfactory anesthetic effect, high safety, and is worthy of promotion.
