Abstract
Fifty ASA physical status class I or II patients undergoing outpatient D&C (dilatation and curettage of the uterus) were studied. Patients were divided into two groups in a random double-blind manner and given either a fentanyl bolus 0.7 μg kg-1 followed by continuous fentanyl infusion of 0–50 μg·min-1 or sufentanil bolus 0.1 μg·kg-1 followed by continuous sufentanil infusion 0–7 μg·min-1 as an adjuvant to thiopentone, nitrous oxide:oxygen anaesthesia. Patients were followed throughout the recovery process with respect to level of consciousness, nausea, vomiting, pain, and discharge time. Groups were equal with respect to awakening and discharge time. The incidence of nausea (p < 0.05) and pain requiring analgesics (p < 0.05) were less in the sufentanil group. It is concluded that the technique of continuous sufentanil infusion was superior to fentanyl in healthy outpatients undergoing D&C. Cinquante patients ASA classe I et II devant subir une procédure de curetage et dilatation en externe ont été étudiées. Les patientes étaient divisées en deux groupes d’une façon randomisée et à double insu et ont reçu soit du fentanyl en bolus 0.7 μg·kg-1 suivi d’une perfusion continue de fentanyl de 0–50 μg·min-1 ou un bolus de sufentanil 0.1 μ.g·kg-1 suivi d’une perfusion continue de sufentanil 0–7 μg·min-1 comme adjuvant au thiopentone, protoxide d’azote et oxygéne. Les patientes étaient suivies au cours du processus de réveil pour ľétat de conscience, nausées, vomissements, douleur et temps de congé. Les groupes étaient égaux concernant le temps de réveil et de congé. Ľincidence de nausées (p < 0.05) et des douleurs requérant des analgésiques (p < 0.05) étaient plus basses pour le groupe du sufentanil. On conclue que la technique dďadministration continue de sufentanil en perfusion ést supérieure au fentanyl chez les patientes en externe en bonne santé et devant subir un curetage et dilatation.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
