Abstract:[Objective] To explore the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) combined with erector spinal block on analgesia in percutane- ous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) . [Methods] From March 2019 to March 2020, a total of 89 patients who were undergo- ing PTED in our hospital were enrolled in this study, and were divided into two groups by random number table method. Of them, 45 pa- tients in the Dex group were treated with Dex combined with erector spine block, while the other 44 patients in the non-DEX group were given conventional local anesthesia. The patients in the two groups were compared regarding to the variation of vital signs and analgesic ef- fect. [Results] Although there were no statistically significant differences in mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) between the two groups before operation (P>0.05) , the Dex group had significantly lower MAP and HR than the non-DEX group at the beginning of sur- gery, the removal of the facet, the removal of the nucleus pulposus and the end of surgery (P<0.05) . However, there were no significant dif- ferences in SPO2 between the two groups at corresponding time points (P>0.05) . The Dex group got significantly lower VAS scores than the non-DEX group at all matching time points (P<0.05) . The Dex group was significantly superior to the non-DEX group in terms of intraoper- ative sufentanil consumption, intraoperative comfort NRS score, recovery room stay, and PCIA pressing times 6 and 12 h after operation (P< 0.05) . [Conclusion] The Dex combined with erector spinal block does prolong the analgesic time and improve the perioperative comfort in PTED.
