Abstract

The cheapest way of the pain management after lumbar spinal surgical procedures: cold pack applicationThe main purpose of surgical treatment of lumbar spine is to relieve the patient's pain, and to return the daily activity as soon as possible comfortably. In the postoperative period, severe pain due to long term use of paravertebral automatic retractors and inflammatory response occurs. We have to use nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and narcotic analgesics for the pain. Besides the side effects of this treatment, another problem is encountered in financial viable. After soft tissue trauma to reduce pain and edema, ice applications is a well-known method. In our study, we aim to reduce the postoperative pain which depends on prolonged retraction of paravertebral muscles with the cold compression application, and to increase patient satisfaction and to reduce the dose of the drugs.We performed a prospective randomized study on 60 patients underwent the lumbar spinal surgery in our clinic. Duration of surgery and paravertebral muscle retraction, use of narcotic analgesics or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were recorded. Pain levels were measured by VAS scoring. Patients in group 1 (study group) were applied cold compression postoperative 4 times a day for 3 days in case of 20-minute sessions. Cold compression application was performed with 300g standards ice packs which are commercially available. Ice packs were applied locally through the surgical wound dressing covering bilateral paravertebral muscles while the patient is in lateral decubitus position. Patients in group 2 (control group) received only medical treatment. Postoperative VAS 24, 48, 72 time values were recorded.There is no statistically significant difference between the VAS 0 value of the control and study groups (p> 0,05). There is a statistically significant difference between the VAS 24, 48, 7 2 values of the control and study groups (p < 0.05). Cold compression therapy in the treatment of postope r ative back pain due to prolonged paravertebral muscle retraction is simple, inexpensive, safe and effective method of postoperative pain and narcotic analgesic needs of patients decreases.This method can be tried in different areas of spinal surgery

Özet

Giriş: Insanlığın var olduğu dönemden günümüze, ağrı ve onun tedavisi tıbbın en önemli konusu olmuştur. Ağrı tedavisi için birçok yöntem uygulanmıştır. Spinal cerrahide tedavinin temel amacı da hastanın ağrısını geçirmek, günlük aktivitesine en kısa sürede dönmesini sağlamaktır. Ancak uygulanan tedaviden bağımsız olarak postoperatif şiddetli ağrı ortaya çıkar. Özellikle paravertebral kaslarda otomatik ekartörlerin uzun süreli kullanımı ve inflamatuar doku yanıtı bunda etkilidir. Bu sebeple postoperatif kuvvetli nonsteroid ve narkotik analjezikler kullanılmak zorunda kalınmaktadır. Uygulanan tedavilerin yan etkileri dışında mali açıdan da bir başka problemi yanında getirmektedir. Amaç: Yumuşak doku travmalarında ağrı ve ödemi azaltmak için buz tedavisi uygulaması bilinen çok eski bir yöntemdir. Bizde bu çalışmamızda hastaların uzamış paravertebral kas ekartasyonuna bağlı postoperatif ağrılarını soğuk kompresyon uygulaması ile azaltmayı, hasta memnuniyetini arttırmayı ve verilen ilaç dozlarını azaltmayı hedefledik.Metot: Kliniğimizde lomber spinal cerrahi yapılmış 60 hasta üzerinde randomize prospektif klinik çalışma yaptık. Cerrahi süresi, paravertebral kas ekartasyon süresi, nonsteroid veya narkotik analjezik kullanımı kaydedildi. Ağrı seviyeleri VAS skorlama yöntemi ile ölçüldü. Grup1 hastalara postoperatif 3 gün süreyle günde 4 defa 20 dakikalık seanslar halinde soğuk kompresyon uygulandı. Soğuk kompresyon uygulaması; piyasadan temin edilmiş olan 300g' lık standart buz aküleriyle, hasta lateral dekübit pozisyonda iken cerrahi yara yeri pansumanı üzerinden bilateral paravertebral kasları kapatacak şekilde lokal uygulandı. Grup 2 (kontrol grubu) hastalar sadece medikal tedavi aldı. Postoperatif VAS24, VAS48, VAS72 değerleri körleme olarak kaydedildi.Sonuç: Çalışma ve Kontrol gruplarının VAS0 değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktur (p> 0,05).Gruplar arası VAS24-48-72 değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark vardır (p< 0,05). Uzamış paravertebral kas ekartasyonuna bağlı gelişen postoperatif bel ağrılarının tedavisinde soğuk kompresyon uygulaması basit, ucuz, güvenli ve etkili bir yöntem olup hastaların postoperatif ağrılarını ve narkotik analjezik ihtiyaçlarını azaltmaktadır. Spinal cerrahinin farklı uygulamalarında bu metot denenebilir
