Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of different rocuronium administration methods in Da Vinci-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy.Methods This study used a prospective randomized controlled trial design, selecting 120 patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024. The patients were randomly divided into a target-controlled infusion group and a continuous infusion group, with 60 cases in each group. The differences between the two groups were observed in terms of muscle relaxation onset time, maintenance time, anesthetic maintenance dosage, anesthesia duration, intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative drainage tube retention time, postoperative bed rest time, and the incidence of anesthesia-related complications.Results The muscle relaxation onset time and anesthesia duration in the target-controlled infusion group was shorter than in the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05), the muscle relaxation maintenance time was longer than in the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05), and the anesthetic maintenance dosage was lower than in the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the target-controlled infusion group was less than in the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the operation time, postoperative drainage tube retention time, and postoperative bed rest time in the target-controlled infusion group were shorter than in the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05). The incidence of anesthesia-related complications and the proportion of postoperative Clavien ≥3 grade complications were lower in the target-controlled infusion group compared to the continuous infusion group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Target-controlled infusion of rocuronium in Da Vinci-assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy has significant advantages over continuous infusion in terms of shortening operation time, reducing intraoperative blood loss, lowering anesthetic dosage, and improving postoperative recovery speed. It can also effectively reduce the risk of anesthesia-related complications.
