Comparison of Parecoxib and Proparacetamol in Endoscopic Nasal Surgery Patients

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy of parecoxib for postoperative analgesia after endoscopic turbinate and sinus surgery with the prodrug of acetaminophen, proparacetamol. Materials and Methods: Fifty American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I-II patients, receiving functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and endoscopic turbinectomy, were investigated in a prospective, randomized, double-blind manner. After local infiltration with 1% mepivacaine, patients were randomly allocated to receive intravenous (IV) administration of either 40mg of parecoxib (n=25) or 2g of proparacetamol (n=25) 15 min before discontinuation of total IV anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil. A blinded observer recorded the incidence and severity of pain at admission to the post anaesthesia care unit (PACU) at 10, 20, and 30 min after PACU admission, and every 1 h thereafter for the first 6 postoperative h. Results: The area under the curve of VAS (AUCVAS) calculated during the study period was 669 (28-1901) cm‧min in the proparacetamol group and 635 (26-1413) cm‧min in the parecoxib group (p=0.34). Rescue morphine analgesia was required by 14 patients (56%) in the proparacetamol group and 12 patients (48%) in the parecoxib (p≥0.05), while mean morphine consumption was 5-3.5mg and 5-2.0mg in the proparacetamol groups and parecoxib, respectively (p≥0.05). No differences in the incidence of side effects were recorded between the 2 groups. Patient satisfaction was similarly high in both groups, and all patients were uneventfully discharged 24h after surgery. Conclusion: In patients undergoing endoscopic nasal surgery, prior infiltration with local anaesthetics, parecoxib administered before discontinuing general anaesthetic, is not superior to proparacetamol in treating early postoperative pain.
