The effect of ultrasound-guided myofascial tube combined with knee joint posterior capsule space block on postoperative delirium in elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
Objective To evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided adductor canal combined with knee joint posterior capsule space block on the recovery period delirium in elderly patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods A total of 68 elderly patients who underwent unilateral TKA at the Nanjing First Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected.They were randomly divided into a control group(n=34)and an observation group(n=34)using a random number table method.Both groups received general anesthesia,and the observation group received ultrasound-guided myofascial tube combined with knee joint posterior capsule space block before the surgery began.The incidence of delirium within 24 hours after surgery was mainly observed in two groups of patients.The surgical time,recovery time,intraoperative blood loss,infusion volume,total use of propofol and remifentanil were recorded;The resting and motor Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores of the patient were recorded at 4,8,and 24 hours postoperatively.The patient's serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and melatonin levels were measured on the day before surgery,the evening after surgery,and the first day after surgery.The subjective sleep quality score was recorded on the first day after surgery;The total dosage of sufentanil for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)within 24 hours after surgery,the effective number of compressions(P1)and actual number of compressions(P2)of PCIA,and the number of cases of additional oxycodone analgesia were recorded;The occurrence of respiratory depression,excessive sedation,nausea,and vomiting within 24 hours after surgery was recorded;The occurrence of complications of nerve block in the observation group was recorded.Results The incidence of delirium during the recovery period in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The dosage of propofol and remifentanil in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(all P＜0.05),and the awakening time was shorter than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The VAS scores at rest and exercise at 4,8,and 24 hours after surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).Compared with the day before surgery,the observation group showed an increase in melatonin levels on the night after surgery(P＜0.05)and an increase in TNF-α levels on the first day after surgery(P＜0.05);The control group had a decrease in melatonin levels on the first day after surgery(P＜0.05),and an increase in TNF-α levels on the night and day after surgery(all P＜0.05).The serum melatonin levels in the observation group were higher than those in the control group on the evening and first day after surgery(all P＜0.05),and TNF-α levels were lower than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).The subjective sleep quality score of the observation group showed that the total dosage of PCIA sufentanil,Pl,P2,and the number of cases of additional oxycodone analgesia within 24 hours after surgery were lower than those of the control group(all P＜0.05).The incidence of nausea in the control group(13 cases,38.2％)was higher than that in the observation group(3 cases,8.8％)(P＜0.05).Conclusions In elderly patients undergoing unilateral TKA under general anesthesia,preoperative use of ultrasound-guided adductor tube combined with knee joint posterior capsule space block can effectively reduce the occurrence of postoperative delirium.
