They were randomly divided into transnasal butorphanol (n=30) or intramuscular meperidine (n=30) treatment groups. Assessment of postoperative pain was made using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The VAS score was recorded 6 h after the completion of surgery, before receiving the first dose of analgesic, 60 min after analgesia and the next morning. Any adverse clinical effects such as somnolence, dizziness, nausea or vomiting were recorded. Satisfaction with narcotic efficacy, desire to use the particular analgesic in the future and any complaints were recorded by patients using questionnaires before being discharged.RESULTS: Forty-two men and eighteen women were included in the study. There were no significant differences in VAS scores between the groups within 24 h. Length of hospital stay and the incidence of adverse effects between the groups were similar. In addition, most patients were satisfied with butorphanol nasal spray and wished to receive this analgesic in the future, if needed.CONCLUSION: Butorphanol nasal spray is effective for the relief of pain after fistulectomy. However, it offered patients more convenient usage and would be suitable for outpatients.展开更多

OBJECTIVE： To treat psychiatric patients with intravenous （i.v.） injection of butorphanol prior to modified electroconvulsive therapy, and to observe its effect on alleviating myalgia after treatment and adverse reactions. DESIGN： A randomized controlled observation. SETTING： Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University. PARTICIPANTS： A total of 120 psychiatric patients, who accepted modified electroconvulsive therapy, were selected from the Mental Health Center of Wuhan University from June to September in 2006. All patients corresponded to the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders, and those with diseases of heart, liver, lung and kidney, glaucoma, intracranial hypertension, hyperthyreosis, and hyperkalemia were excluded. The patients were randomly divided into a control group （n = 60） and treatment group （n = 60）. In the control group, there were 42 males and 18 females, aged 17-50 years, with a mean age of （34 ± 11） years. The patients weighed 50-70 kg, with a mean body mass of （63 ± 18） kg. In the treatment group, there were 40 males and 20 females, aged 20-54 years, with a mean age of （36 ± 13） years. The patients weighed 48-72 kg, with a mean body mass of （64 ± 16） kg. Approval was obtained from the Hospital＇s Ethics Committee. Informed consents were obtained from the patients＇ relatives. A SPECTRUM5000Q multifunctional mobile electroconvulsive therapy apparatus （CORPERATION, USA） was used. METHODS： （1） Treatments： In the control group, the patients were anesthetized by i.v. injection of propofol （AstraZeneca, Italy, No.CN309） containing 0.075% efedrina, and then modified electroconvulsive therapy was performed. Circulation, respiration, and firing of brain electrical activity were continuously monitored. In the treatment group, the patients were i.v. injected with 1 mg of butorphanol tartrate parenteral solution （Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd., No.05100732） 5 minutes prior to anesthesia; the remaining treatments were the same as in the control group. （2） Evaluations： myalgia conditions were assessed 6 hours after the patients opened their eyes. The patients were evaluated by a visual analogue scale and Ramsay sedation scale immediately, and at 3 minutes and 6 hours after they opened their eyes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： （1） Conditions of myalgia. （2） Scores of visual analogue scale and Ramsay sedation scale. RESULTS： All 120 psychiatric patients were involved in the final analysis. （1） Conditions of myalgia： 6 hours after modified electroconvulsive therapy, 22 patients in the control group and 1 patient in the treatment group complained of myalgia, which resulted in a significant difference between the two groups （P 〈 0.05）. （2） Scores of visual analogue scale and Ramsay sedation scale： the scores of visual analogue scale at 30 minutes and 6 hours after opening eyes were significantly lower in the treatment group than the control group （P 〈 0.05）, and the scores of Ramsay sedation scale were not significantly different between the two groups （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Preemptive analgesia by butorphanol can effectively alleviate modified electroconvulsive therapy-induced myalgia, without adverse reactions.展开更多

However, whether the analgesic effect is associated with activation of the N-methyI-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor remains unclear. This study presumed that intrathecal injection of butorphanol has an analgesic effect on formalin-induced inflammatory pain in rats, and its analgesic effect is associated with inhibition of NMDA receptors. Concurrently, ketamine was injected into the intrathecal space, which is a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, to determine the analgesic mechanism of butorphanol. The total reflection time in phase 1 and phase 2 of rat hind paws carding action was reduced when the butorphanol dose was increased to 25 μg, or a low dose of butorphanol was combined with ketamine. Intrathecal injection of a high dose of butorphanol alone or a low dose of butorphanol combined with ketamine can remarkably reduce NMDA receptor expression in the Ls spinal dorsal hom of formalin-induced pain rats. The results suggest that intrathecal injection of butorphanol has analgesic effects on formalin-induced inflammatory pain, and remarkably reduces NMDA receptor expression in the rat spinal dorsal horn Ketamine strengthens this analgesic effect. The analgesic mechanism of intrathecal injection of butorphanol is associated with inhibition of NMDA receptor activation.展开更多

Methods: 120 patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage requiring analgesia and sedation were randomly selected and divided into two groups: the control group (dexmedetomidine treatment group) and the test group (dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol tartrate). Two groups of patients with different drugs were analyzed. Results: The average dose of dexmedetomidine (microgram) and the total adverse events (Times) in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group within 48 hours (P < 0.05);The dose of Butorphanol in the test group was small, and the patients in the control group used other opioid analgesics to pump more significantly. Conclusion: Using butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine can achieve the same sedative effect and enhance the analgesic effect as using dexmedetomidine alone with less dose of dexmedetomidine, and the clinical effect is significant. It also solves the problem that adverse reactions such as blood pressure change and bradycardia are easy to occur when using large dose of dexmedetomidine and the infusion speed is fast in clinical application, and significantly reduces the incidence of adverse reactions. It is worthy of clinical application.展开更多

Methods: from January 2020 to June 2020, 137 patients with painless gastroscopy were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was given propofol combined anesthesia, and the observation group was given propofol combined butorphanol anesthesia. Gastroscopy was performed after eyelash reflex disappeared. The total effective rate of anesthesia, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, recovery time and dosage of propofol were compared between the two groups. Results: the total effective rate of anesthesia in the observation group (100.0%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (92.75%), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the disappearance time and recovery time of eyelash reflex between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05), but the average dosage of propofol in the observation group was (1.76 ± 0.56) mg / kg, which was significantly lower than (2.63 ± 0.49) mg / kg in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the clinical effect of propofol combined with Butorphanol in outpatient painless gastroscopy anesthesia is significant, which can effectively improve the anesthesia efficiency of patients with painless gastroscopy anesthesia and reduce the average dosage of propofol, which is worthy of clinical promotion.展开更多

文摘Objective:Drug-induced sleep endoscopy(DISE)allows for the evaluation of dynamic airway collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.However,a standardized sedation regimen for DISE is not yet available.This study aimed to investigate the safety profiles and efficacies of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol for DISE.Methods:Sixty patients with obstructive sleep apnea scheduled to undergo DISE were randomly divided into Group D and Group DB.All recipients were initially given intravenous butorphanol(1 mg)(Group DB)or saline(Group D).Subsequently,both groups were sedated using a loading dose of 1.0 pg/kg/h of dexmedetomidine.Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters,the time to attain sufficient sedation,wakeup time,and adverse events during DISE were recorded.Results:Compared with Group D,the time until sufficient sedation and wakeup time in Group DB were significantly reduced.A higher performer satisfaction level was achieved in Group DB.Patients in Group DB showed a higher incidence of bradycardia compared with Group D.However,the bradycardia resolved spontaneously in both groups without any treatment.There was no instance of cough,hypotension,arrhythmia,nausea or vomiting in either group.Conclusion:Compared to dexmedetomidine alone,a small dose of butorphanol infusion(1 mg)as an adjunct treatment to dexmedetomidine during DISE can reduce the dosage of dexmedetomidine,shorten the time until sufficient sedation and enhance the performer satisfaction level.This synergistic combination could be a promising sedation regimen for DISE in terms of procedural convenience and patient safety.
文摘BACKGROUND Propofol is a short-acting,rapid-recovering anesthetic widely used in sedated colonoscopy for the early detection,diagnosis and treatment of colon diseases.However,the use of propofol alone may require high doses to achieve the induction of anesthesia in sedated colonoscopy,which has been associated with anesthesia-related adverse events(AEs),including hypoxemia,sinus bradycardia,and hypotension.Therefore,propofol co-administrated with other anesthetics has been proposed to reduce the required dose of propofol,enhance the efficacy,and improve the satisfaction of patients receiving colonoscopy under sedation.AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of propofol target-controlled infusion(TCI)in combination with butorphanol for sedation during colonoscopy.METHODS In this controlled clinical trial,a total of 106 patients,who were scheduled for sedated colonoscopy,were prospectively recruited and assigned into three groups to receive different doses of butorphanol before propofol TCI:Low-dose butorphanol group(5μg/kg,group B1),high-dose butorphanol group(10μg/kg,group B2),and control group(normal saline,group C).Anesthesia was achieved by propofol TCI.The primary outcome was the median effective concentration(EC50)of propofol TCI,which was measured using the up-and-down sequential method.The secondary outcomes included AEs in perianesthesia and recovery characteristics.RESULTS The EC50 of propofol for TCI was 3.03μg/mL[95%confidence interval(CI):2.83-3.23μg/mL]in group B2,3.41μg/mL(95%CI:3.20-3.62μg/mL)in group B1,and 4.05μg/mL(95%CI:3.78-4.34μg/mL)in group C.The amount of propofol necessary for anesthesia was 132 mg[interquartile range(IQR),125-144.75 mg]in group B2 and 142 mg(IQR,135-154 mg)in group B1.Furthermore,the awakening concentration was 1.1μg/mL(IQR,0.9-1.2μg/mL)in group B2 and 1.2μg/mL(IQR,1.025-1.5μg/mL)in group B1.Notably,the propofol TCI plus butorphanol groups(groups B1 and B2)had a lower incidence of anesthesia AEs,when compared to group C.Furthermore,no significant differences were observed in the rates of AEs in perianesthesia,including hypoxemia,sinus bradycardia,hypotension,nausea and vomiting,and vertigo,among group C,group B1 and group B2.CONCLUSION The combined use with butorphanol reduces the EC50 of propofol TCI for anesthesia.The decrease in propofol might contribute to the reduced anesthesia-related AEs in patients undergoing sedated colonoscopy.

文摘Clinical and animal experiments have proved that intrathecal injection of butorphanol has an analgesic effect. However, whether the analgesic effect is associated with activation of the N-methyI-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptor remains unclear. This study presumed that intrathecal injection of butorphanol has an analgesic effect on formalin-induced inflammatory pain in rats, and its analgesic effect is associated with inhibition of NMDA receptors. Concurrently, ketamine was injected into the intrathecal space, which is a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist, to determine the analgesic mechanism of butorphanol. The total reflection time in phase 1 and phase 2 of rat hind paws carding action was reduced when the butorphanol dose was increased to 25 μg, or a low dose of butorphanol was combined with ketamine. Intrathecal injection of a high dose of butorphanol alone or a low dose of butorphanol combined with ketamine can remarkably reduce NMDA receptor expression in the Ls spinal dorsal hom of formalin-induced pain rats. The results suggest that intrathecal injection of butorphanol has analgesic effects on formalin-induced inflammatory pain, and remarkably reduces NMDA receptor expression in the rat spinal dorsal horn Ketamine strengthens this analgesic effect. The analgesic mechanism of intrathecal injection of butorphanol is associated with inhibition of NMDA receptor activation.
文摘Objective: To analyze the effect and advantages in analgesia and sedation of butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine in severe cerebral hemorrhage for patients with mechanical ventilation. Methods: 120 patients with severe cerebral hemorrhage requiring analgesia and sedation were randomly selected and divided into two groups: the control group (dexmedetomidine treatment group) and the test group (dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol tartrate). Two groups of patients with different drugs were analyzed. Results: The average dose of dexmedetomidine (microgram) and the total adverse events (Times) in the test group were significantly lower than those in the control group within 48 hours (P < 0.05);The dose of Butorphanol in the test group was small, and the patients in the control group used other opioid analgesics to pump more significantly. Conclusion: Using butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine can achieve the same sedative effect and enhance the analgesic effect as using dexmedetomidine alone with less dose of dexmedetomidine, and the clinical effect is significant. It also solves the problem that adverse reactions such as blood pressure change and bradycardia are easy to occur when using large dose of dexmedetomidine and the infusion speed is fast in clinical application, and significantly reduces the incidence of adverse reactions. It is worthy of clinical application.

文摘BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)are common complications that affect the recovery and well-being of elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery.AIM To investigate the effect of butorphanol on PONV in this patient population.METHODS A total of 110 elderly patients(≥65 years old)who underwent gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery were randomly assigned to receive butorphanol(40μg/kg)or sufentanil(0.3μg/kg)during anesthesia induction in a 1:1 ratio.The measured outcomes included the incidence of PONV at 48 h after surgery,intraoperative dose of propofol and remifentanil,Bruggrmann Comfort Scale score in the postanesthesia care unit(PACU),number of compressions for postoperative patientcontrolled intravenous analgesia(PCIA),and time to first flatulence after surgery.RESULTS The results revealed a noteworthy reduction in the occurrence of PONV at 24 h after surgery in the butorphanol group,when compared to the sufentanil group(T1:23.64%vs 5.45%,T2:43.64%vs 20.00%,P<0.05).However,no significant variations were observed between the two groups,in terms of the clinical characteristics,such as the PONV or motion sickness history,intraoperative and postoperative 48-h total infusion volume and hemodynamic parameters,intraoperative dose of propofol and remifentanil,number of postoperative PCIA compressions,time until the first occurrence of postoperative flatulence,and incidence of PONV at 48 h post-surgery(all,P>0.05).Furthermore,patients in the butorphanol group were more comfortable,when compared to patients in the sufentanil group in the PACU.CONCLUSION The present study revealed that butorphanol can be an efficacious substitute for sufentanil during anesthesia induction to diminish PONV within 24 h following gastrointestinal laparoscopic surgery in the elderly,simultaneously improving patient comfort in the PACU.
文摘Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of propofol combined with Butorphanol in painless gastroscopy anesthesia. Methods: from January 2020 to June 2020, 137 patients with painless gastroscopy were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was given propofol combined anesthesia, and the observation group was given propofol combined butorphanol anesthesia. Gastroscopy was performed after eyelash reflex disappeared. The total effective rate of anesthesia, disappearance time of eyelash reflex, recovery time and dosage of propofol were compared between the two groups. Results: the total effective rate of anesthesia in the observation group (100.0%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (92.75%), the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the disappearance time and recovery time of eyelash reflex between the observation group and the control group (P > 0.05), but the average dosage of propofol in the observation group was (1.76 ± 0.56) mg / kg, which was significantly lower than (2.63 ± 0.49) mg / kg in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: the clinical effect of propofol combined with Butorphanol in outpatient painless gastroscopy anesthesia is significant, which can effectively improve the anesthesia efficiency of patients with painless gastroscopy anesthesia and reduce the average dosage of propofol, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
