Bupivacaine versus Bupivacaine-fentanyl in Brachial Plexus Block for Postoperative Analgesia
Bupivacain versus bupivacain s fentanylom pri pooperačnej analgéziiaxilárnou blokádou brachiálneho plexu
Autori skúmali analgetickú efektivitu pooperačného intermitentne podávaného 0,2% bupivacainu s alebo bez fentanylu cez katéter plexus brachialisv dvoch skupinách pacientov. V prvej skupine sa podávalo 30 ml 0,2% roztoku bupivacainu s 3 mg/ml fentanylu do katétra, s intervalom podávaniakaždých 8 hodín, v druhej skupine – len 0,2% roztok bupivacainu s tým istým intervalom podávania. V oboch skupinách sa sledoval subjektívny pocitbolesti vizuálnym analógovým skóre bolesti (VAPS) počas 72 hodín po operačnom výkone. Autori pri hodnotení VAPS zistili, že od 9 pooperačnejhodiny bola signifikantne lepšia analgézia v skupine, ktorá dostávala fentanyl, a to napriek významne vyššej suplementárnej analgézie v skupine bezfentanylu. Výsledky štúdie vedú k záverom, že pridávanie fentanylu do analgetických koncentrácií bupivacainu podávaných do katétra plexus brachialismá svoje opodstatnenie. Analgézia v takomto prípade je kvalitnejšia a menej pacientov vyžaduje podávanie suplementárnych dávok analgetík.

Overview
Analgetic effect of plain bupivacaine 0.2% vs. bupivacaine-fentanyl was assessed in brachial plexus block. In the first group, thirty millilitres ofbupivacaine 0.2% with fentanyl 3 mg/ml were administered via the catheter every 8 hours; the other group received bupivacaine 0.2% in the sameregimen. Analgesia was assessed according to visual analogue pain score (VAPS) during 72-hour postoperative period. Significantly better analgesiawas achieved in bupivacaine-fentanyl group starting postoperative hour 9, in spite of higher supplemental doses of analgetics in the non-fentanyl group.From the results we can draw a conclusion that fentanyl addition to analgetic concentration of bupivacaine for brachial plexus block is warranted.The quality of analgesia produced is better, requiring for less supplemental doses of other analgetics.
