Comparison of the effects of oxycodone versus fentanyl on airway reflex to tracheal extubation and postoperative pain during anesthesia recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A double-blind, randomized clinical consort study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Fentanyl has been suggested to be effective for controlling airway and hemodynamic responses to tracheal extubation. This study was performed to compare the effects of oxycodone and fentanyl on airway and hemodynamic responses and postoperative pain during the recovery period in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Ninety patients aged 18 to 65 years were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 groups: fentanyl, oxycodone, and control. Coughing responses (incidence and severity), hemodynamic responses during the recovery period, and acute postoperative pain were assessed.The incidence of cough was decreased in the fentanyl and oxycodone groups compared with that in the control group at the points of awareness and extubation, and no significant difference was observed between the 2 treatment groups. Severe cough response was decreased in the fentanyl and oxycodone groups compared with that in the control group at the point of extubation, and no significant change was observed in cough severity between the 2 treatment groups. Postoperative pain scores were lower in the fentanyl and oxycodone groups than those in the control group at 5 and 30 minutes postoperatively, and no significant difference was observed between the 2 treatment groups. Hemodynamic responses did not differ among the 3 groups during the recovery period.Oxycodone treatment before tracheal extubation reduced cough response and was as effective as fentanyl treatment for improving extubation quality. Furthermore, single boluses of fentanyl and oxycodone showed equal effectiveness in attenuating acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
