Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of Hydromorphone and Oxycodone on pains and inflammatory cytokines of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, so as to provide scientific basis for the rational use of narcotic analgesics in relieving postoperative pains and balancing the inflammatory cytokines. Methods Sixty patients who received laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into Oxycodone group (group A), Hydromorphone group (group B) and placebo group (group C) with 20 cases in each group. At the end of surgery, the patients in the group A were given 0.1 mg/kg of Oxycodone, those in the group B were given 2 mg Hydromorphone, and those in the group C were given 2 ml of normal saline. The VAS scores were recorded at 4, 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery. The levels of serum IL-6 and IL-10 were detected before anesthesia and 4, 12 and 24 h after surgery in the three groups. Results The VAS scores and the Ramsay scores at 4 and 6 h after surgery in the groups A and B were significantly lower than those in the group C (p < 0.05). The levels of IL-6 and IL-10 at 4, 12 and 24 h after surgery were all significantly increased in the three groups compared to the levels before anesthesia (p < 0.05). The IL-6 levels at 4 and 12 h after surgery in the group A and the group B were significantly lower than those in the group C; while the levels of IL-10 at 4, 12 and 24 h after surgery in the groups A and B were significantly higher than those in the group C (p < 0.05). After anesthesia, the hemodynamic indicators of the group B were better than those in the group A, the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions Both Oxycodone and Hydromorphone can effectively alleviate pains of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and also balance the pro -inflammatory and anti -inflammatory cytokines, thus reduce inflammatory reactions and boost postoperative recovery.
