POSTOPERATIVE PAIN CONTROL BY INTRAARTİCULAR TENOXICAM AFTER ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY

Abstract

In this study we tried to find out the postoperative analgesic efficacy of tenoxicam applied by intraarticular route in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. Thirty patients ASAI-II and 16-55 years of age were enrolled. Patients received no premedication. General anesthesia was maintained with 50 % O2/N2O and isoflurane (0.8-2.0 %) after induction with atropine 0.01 mg.kg1, propofol 2 mg.kg1 and fentanyl 2mcg. kg1 intravenously, vecuronium 0.1 mg.kg1 was administered for tracheal intubation. Standard monitoring was used. At the end of the surgery and before the removal of arthroscope, the studied drug was given intraarticularly in a double-blinded randomized manner, such that; 20 mg Tenoxicam in 20 mL şaline (Group T) or 20 mL Şaline only, as control group (Group K). Postoperatively analgesic rescue medication was provided by intravenous PCA morphine. Pain and sedation scores were assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Ramsey Sedation Scores at O, 20, 40 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 12, 24 hours after the operation. Total morphine consumption and side effects were the measured parameters in first 24 hours. Statistical analysis was performed by Anova , Chi-square tests.(p
