Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of small-dose dexamethasone-tropisetron combination, tropisetron and saline as placebo on postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing tympanomastoid surgery under desflurane anaesthesia.Materials and Methods: One hundred five ASA physical status I-II patients aged between 18-65 years scheduled for tympanomastoid surgery were studied. Patients were randomized into three groups in a double-blinded manner. After the induction of anesthesia, Group T(tropisetron group, n=35) received intravenous tropisetron (5 mg), Group TD (tropisetron-dexamethasone group, n=35) received intravenous dexamethasone (5mg) and tropisetron (5 mg) and Group P (placebo group, n=35) received intravenous saline. Anesthesia was maintained with desflurane 5 %-7 % in O2 33 % and N2O 66 % mixture. Postoperative nausea and vomiting were evaluated using a 3-point scale:0=no symptoms, 1=nausea, 2=vomiting. Each episode of postoperative nausea and vomiting was recorded during four periods within the first 24h after the operation: 0-2h, 2-6h, 6-12h and 12-24h.Results: The percentage of postoperative nausea and vomiting among the three groups were 80 % in group P, 31.4 % in group T and 25.7 % in group TD (p< 0.05). The percentage of patients who required rescue antiemetics were 11.4 % (4 patients) in Group T, 8.6 % (3 patients) in Group TD and 40 % (14 patients) in Group P. Patients in Group T and Group TD required less rescue antiemetic medications than those in Group P (p< 0.05). Also, patients in Group T and Group TD had a less frequent incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting than those in Group P during the first 12 hours after surgery (p< 0.05). VAS scores were lower in Group TD than Group P at 0-2h, and 2-6h periods.Conclusion: Prophylactic administration of either intravenous tropisetron or tropisetron-dexamethasone combination reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing tympanomastoid surgery under desflurane anaesthesia. The addition of dexamethasone was not associated with increased efficacy in preventing nausea or vomiting

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızda desfluran anestezisi altında timpanomastoid cerrahi geçiren olgularda düşük doz dekzametazon ile tropisetron kombinasyonunun postoperatif bulantı ve kusma profilaksisinde tropisetron ve plaseboya göre etkinliğini karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntem: ASA I-II grubu yaşları 18-65 arasında değişen timpanomastoid cerrahi uygulanacak 105 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Randomize çift-kör olarak planlanan çalışmada olgular 3 gruba ayrıldı. Grup T'deki olgulara (Tropisetron grubu, n=35) 5 mg tropisetron, Grup TD'deki olgulara (tropisetron-dekzametazon grubu, n=35) 5 mg dekzametazon ve 5 mg tropisetron, Grup P'deki olgulara (plasebo grubu, n=35) ise, serum fizyolojik intravenöz olarak anestezi indüksiyonundan hemen sonra uygulandı. Anestezi idamesi % 5-7 desfluran ve O2 içinde % 66 N2O ile gerçekleştirildi. Bulantı ve kusma için 3 puanlı skor kullanıldı (0: yok, 1: bulantı 2: kusma).Bulgular: Plasebo grubunda % 80 olguda bulantı ve kusma gözlenirken, tropisetron grubunda % 31.4, tropisetron-dekzametazon grubunda % 25.7 olguda bulantı ve kusma oluştu (p< 0.05). Ek antiemetik gereksinimi Grup T'de 4 (% 11.4), Grup TD'de 3 (% 8.6) ve Grup P'de 14 (% 40) hastada saptandı ve plaseboya göre diğer iki grupta istatistiksel olarak daha azdı (p< 0.05). Postoperatif bulantı ve kusma ilk 12 saat içinde Grup T ve Grup TD'de Grup P'ye göre anlamlı olarak daha düşüktü (p< 0.05). TD grubunda VAS skorları 0-2 ve 2-6 saat dilimlerinde Grup P'ye göre anlamlı olarak düşüktü (p< 0.05).Sonuç: Desfluran anestezisi altında timpanomastoid cerrahi uygulanan olgularda hem tropisetron, hem de düşük doz dekzametazon-tropisetron kombinasyonunun postoperatif bulantı ve kusma profilaksisinde etkili olduğu, ancak dekzametazon ilavesinin kusma ve bulantıyı önlemede artan bir üstünlük sağlamadığını düşünmekteyiz.
