Abstract:Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of low dose esketamine combined with cyclopofol in ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy.Methods Totally 102 patients who received ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy surgery were divided into 2 groups according to different anesthesia methods. The control group (n=50) received sufentanil combined with cyclopofol, and the observation group (n=52) received low-dose esketamine combined with cyclopofol, and the anesthetic effect of the two groups was compared.Results The observation group had shorter awakening time, hospital stay, first feeding time, and time to ambulation than the control group (P <0.05). At 6 h postoperatively, the VAS scores of the observation group and the control group were comparable (P >0.05); at 24 h postoperatively, the VAS scores and the OAA/S scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the MAP, HR, and SpO2 at T0, T1, and T2 in the observation group were all lower (P <0.05). The results showed that: There were significant differences in HR, MAP, and SpO2 levels at different time points (P <0.05); The HR, MAP, and SpO2 levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P <0.05), and the fluctuation of HR, MAP, and SpO2 levels in the observation group was more stable, with better hemodynamics; The trend of changes in HR, MAP, and SpO2 levels in the two groups was significantly different (P <0.05). The difference in Cor and MDA levels between the observation group and the control group at 12 h and 24 h postoperatively was statistically significant (P <0.05), while the difference in SOD levels was not statistically significant (P >0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P <0.05).Conclusion Low dose esketamine combined with cyclopofol can significantly reduce stress response and pain, and achieve better sedation and more stable hemodynamic level in patients undergoing ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy surgery.
