The Effect of Intravenous Dexketoprofen on the Severity and Incidence of Rebound Pain

Sixty-six patients undergoing rotator cuff repair will receive standardized ISB and general anesthesia for the surgery.All patients will be administered 0.03 mg/kg of midazolam during the preoperative period and an interscalene brachial plexus block will be administered using 10 cc of %0.5 bupivacaine and 5 ml of normal saline.During induction under general anesthesia, the following will be administered: lidocaine 1 mg/kg, propofol 2-3 mg/kg, rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg, and remifentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg. Maintenance of anesthesia will be provided using a mixture of %2-3 sevoflurane, %50 air, and %50 oxygen, maintaining the bispectral index between 40 and 50.

Heart rate and blood pressure values will be titrated by increasing or decreasing the remifentanil infusion to ensure that the values remain within %20 of baseline or that the OAB remains above 65.

If the mean arterial pressure drops by more than %20, 5 mg of ephedrine will be administered.

At the end of the procedure, the surgical duration and the total intraoperative remifentanil dose administered will be recorded.

In the postoperative recovery room, patients who show no loss of sensation in the C5-C6 dermatome (over the deltoid muscle) on the pinprick test but report severe pain (VAS ≥ 4) will be considered to have had a failed block.

Under the postoperative analgesia protocol all patients will be equipped with an IV morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device. The solution will be prepared such that morphine is 0.5 mg / ml. PCA 1mg bolus dose will be delivered with 10 min lock-out time and all patients will be administered 1 gram of paracetamol at 8th 16th and 24th hours.

Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups as Group K(Patients not receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and Group D(Patients receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) In Group D (Patients receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) cases, will be administered 25 miligram of dexketroprofen at 6th and 18th hours.

In the postoperative period, a researcher assessed the patient's visual pain scores (resting and movement), rebound pain intensity, timing, and duration, systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation, postoperative analgesic consumption, and postoperative complications will be recorded.

Patient follow-up will be concluded at the end of 24 hours.
