Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the application effect of local block anesthesia with ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair.

Methods

A total of 80 elderly patients who underwent laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair in People's Hospital of Ningguo City from February 2022 to September 2023 were selected. Patients were divided into control group (ropivacaine 42 cases) and experimental group (ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine 38 cases) using the random number table method. All patients received local block anesthesia, the control group received ropivacaine, while the experimental group received ropivacaine combined with dexmedetomidine. Clinical indicators, analgesic effects, stress reactions, and anesthesia adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Hemodynamic changes before block anesthesia(T0), at 10 minutes after block anesthesia (T1), at skin incision (T2), at 30 minutes after surgery (T3) and at the end of surgery (T4) were analyzed.

Results

The block onset time and removal time of laryngeal mask in the experimental group were significantly shorter as compared with the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in anesthesia recovery time between the two groups (P>0.05). From T0 to T1,heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of both groups decreased, but the experimental group had higher HR and MAP than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).From T2 to T4, the experimental group had higher HR, blood oxygen saturation and MAP than the control group, but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). On the 3rd and 5th day after surgery,the levels of norepinephrine and cortisol in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence rates of perioperative adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusion

Applying local block with ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic tension-free inguinal hernia repair can maintain hemodynamic stability and reduce stress response with good safety.
