Effects of Different Doses of Dexmedetomidine Combined with Ropivacaine TAPB on Immune Inflammatory Response and Cognitive Function in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
Objective:To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB)on immune inflammatory response and cognitive function in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.Methods:150 patients with laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair who were admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hefei from March 2020 to March 2022 were divided into group A(n=75)and group B(n=75)according to the random number table method.Both groups were treated with dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine TAPB,group A was given 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine and group B was given 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine.The hemodynamics,visual analogue scale(VAS),mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score,incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD),inflammatory response and immune function related indicators were compared in two groups.Results:Compared with group A at the beginning of operation 1 h(T1)and immediately after the end of op-eraion(T2),mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were lower in group B(P<0.05).The incidence of POCD in group B was lower than that in group A(P<0.05).Compared with group A1d and 2 d after operation,the MMSE score in group B was higher(P<0.05).Compared with group A at 12 h,24 h and 48 h after operation,the VAS score in group B was lower(P<0.05).Compared with group A 2 d after operation,CD8+was lower,and CD3+,CD4+and CD4+/CD8+were higher in group B(P<0.05).Compared with group A 2 d after operation,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were lower in group B(P<0.05).Conclu-sion:Anesthesia with 1 μg/kg dose of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine TAPB in patients undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair,which can reduce pain,alleviate the degree of immune inflammatory response,maintain hemodynamic stability,and reduce the incidence of POCD.
