摘要
背景:比较高强度聚焦超声(HIFU)治疗隐静脉主干(GSV/SSV)和/或曲张静脉功能不全期间的不同麻醉方案。材料与方法:GSV/SSV功能不全和曲张静脉患者在不同麻醉方案下接受HIFU治疗。主要终点是HIFU治疗过程中的疼痛评分,采用10分制:结果:在分析的 262 条腿中,主要疼痛评分为 1.03 ± 1.27。皮内+口服麻醉与皮内+静脉注射相比,手术疼痛更轻(1.30 ± 0.19 vs 0.81 ± 0.09; p = .001)。相反,静脉周围注射降低了早期完全再通率:这些初步结果表明,HIFU 是一种几乎无痛的手术。结论:这些初步结果表明,HIFU 是一种几乎无痛的手术,通过使用特定的皮内+口服麻醉治疗可进一步减少手术疼痛,尽管静脉周围麻醉可改善术后效果。
Comparing anesthesia protocols in high intensity focused ultrasound treatments: The HIFU-pain study.
Background: to compare different anesthesia protocols during High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) for saphenous trunk (GSV/SSV) and/or varicosities incompetence treatment.
Material and methods: patients with GSV/SSV incompetence with varicose veins underwent HIFU under different anesthesia protocols. The primary endpoint was the pain score during HIFU using a 10-point scale.
Results: Out of 262 legs analyzed, main pain score was 1.03 ± 1.27. Intradermal + oral anesthesia treatments resulted in less procedural pain if compared with intradermal ± perivenous protocols (1.30 ± 0.19 vs 0.81 ± 0.09; p = .001). Conversely, perivenous injection decrease early complete recanalization rate.
Conclusion: These preliminary results suggest that HIFU is an almost pain-free procedure. Procedural pain could be further minimized by using specific intradermal + oral anesthesia treatments, despite perivenous anesthetic could improve postoperative outcomes.
