The Addition of Hydromorphone to Local Anesthetics for the Repair of Inguinal Hernias in Elderly Patients

January 11, 2024 updated by: Second Hospital of Jilin University

A Randomized Controlled Study of Ropivacaine Combined With Hydromorphone to Block Lumbar Muscle in Elderly Inguinal Hernia Repair.

To compare the clinical and postoperative analgesic effects of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine and ropivacaine alone in quadrangular muscle block for open inguinal hernia in elderly patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Elderly patients selected for Lichtenstein hernia repair in our hospital who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and obtained informed consent were included in this trial, and were randomly divided into experimental group by random number table method: 0.375% ropivacaine combined with hydromorphone block group, and control group: 0.375% ropivacaine block group alone.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Related indexes of anesthesia effect: pain after surgery, 6, 12, 18,24, 48h after surgery.
Time Frame: From the end of surgery until two days after surgery.
Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to score the postoperative pain at 6,12,18,24,48h.The score ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain). The change was equal to the score difference between the two groups at different observation time points (6,12,18,24,48h).
From the end of surgery until two days after surgery.
Related indexes of anesthesia effect: time of onset of anesthesia, duration of anesthesia maintenance.
Time Frame: From the start of anesthesia until two days after surgery.
The range of the effective time of anesthesia minus the start time of anesthesia and the maintenance time minus the start time of anesthesia are respectively.The unit of time is minutes.
From the start of anesthesia until two days after surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The occurrence of postoperative adverse reactions.
Time Frame: The operation ended two days after surgery.
The rates of postoperative nausea, vomiting and dizziness were compared between the two groups.
The operation ended two days after surgery.
