Comparison of nalbuphine and sufentanil for colonoscopy: A randomized controlled trial.


ABSTRACT: Nalbuphine is as effective as morphine as a perioperative analgesic but has not been compared directly with sufentanil in clinical trials. The aims of this study were to compare the efficacy and safety of nalbuphine with that of sufentanil in patients undergoing colonoscopy and to determine the optimal doses of nalbuphine in this indication.Two hundred and forty consecutive eligible patients aged 18-65 years with an American Society of Anesthesiologists classification of I-II and scheduled for colonoscopy were randomly allocated to receive sufentanil 0.1 ?g/kg (group S), nalbuphine 0.1 mg/kg (group N1), nalbuphine 0.15 mg/kg (group N2), or nalbuphine 0.2 mg/kg (group N3). Baseline vital signs were recorded before the procedure. The four groups were monitored for propofol sedation using the bispectral index, and pain relief was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale and the modified Behavioral Pain Scale for non-intubated patients. The incidences of respiratory depression during endoscopy, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and abdominal distention were recorded in the post anesthesia care unit and in the first and second 24-hour periods after colonoscopy.There was no significant difference in analgesia between the sufentanil group and the nalbuphine groups (p>0.05). Respiratory depression was significantly more common in group S than in groups N1 and N2 (p<0.05). The incidence of nausea was significantly higher in the nalbuphine groups than in the sufentanil group in the first 24 hours after colonoscopy (p<0.05).Nalbuphine can be considered as a reasonable alternative to sufentanil in patients undergoing colonoscopy. Doses in the range of 0.1-0.2 mg/kg are recommended. The decreased risks of respiratory depression and apnea make nalbuphine suitable for patients with respiratory problems.
