Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effects of different administration timing of butorphanol on oxidative stress and inflammatory response of ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by orthopaedic tourniquet. Methods Ninety patients undergoing elective orthopedic lower limb surgery were randomly divided into the butorphanol pretreatment group (group Y), the butorphanol post-treatment group (group H) and the control group (group C), with 30 patients in each group. Subarachnoid block were used in the three groups of patients. Patients in group Y received a slow bolus of 0.02 mg/kg butorphanol intravenously 5 min before tourniquet inflation. A slow bolus of 0.02 mg/kg butorphanol was administered intravenously to patients in group H 5 min before the tourniquet was deflation. Patients in group C were not specifically addressed. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), saturation of pulse oximetry (SpO2) values were compared before loading medication (T0), 30 min after tourniquet inflation (T1), 60 min after tourniquet inflation (T2), and 5 min after tourniquet deflation (T3). Serum tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured at T0 and T3. Results There were no significant differences in HR, MAP and SpO2 at each time point between the three groups. There were no significant differences in HR and SpO2 at each time point between groups. Compared with T0, MAP was significantly increased at T2 in the group H and the group C, decreased significantly at T3 in group Y (P<0.05). Compared with T0, serum levels of MDA and TNF-α increased at T3 in the three groups of patients, and the serum level of SOD decreased (P<0.05). At T3, serum levels of MDA and TNF-α were significantly lower in the group Y and the group H than those in the group C, and the serum level of SOD was significantly higher than that in the group C (P<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of MDA, SOD and TNF-α between the group Y and the group H. Conclusion Butorphanol pretreatment and post-treatment can effectively reduce the ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by tourniquet, which may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammatory response.
