Lumbar versus thoracic epidural buprenorphine for postoperative analgesia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is reported to provide effective analgesia following cardiac surgery. We compared the effect of buprenorphine (BN) through the lumbar and thoracic epidural routes for postoperative analgesia following coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). METHODS:Forty patients with normal left ventricular ejection fraction scheduled for CABG were randomly divided into two groups, the TEA group (n = 19) and the lumbar epidural analgesia (LEA) group (n = 20). For postoperative pain relief they received epidural BN 0.15 mg at the first demand for pain relief following extubation. A top-up dose of BN 0.15 mg was administered in cases where visual analogue scale (VAS) score was > 3 at 1 h after first dose. Subsequent breakthrough pain was treated with 30 mg intramuscular ketorolac tromethamine (ketorolac). Pain assessed by VAS score on a 0-10 scale, respiratory rate, FEV1, FVC, mean arterial blood pressure, cardiac index, PaO2 and PaCO2 were measured at frequent intervals. Side effects of epidural opioids were noted. RESULTS:Both groups were comparable in demographic characteristics, had similar VAS scores from 1 to 24 h postoperatively, required similar amounts of intramuscular ketorolac for break-through pain and had comparable pulmonary functions and side effects. CONCLUSION:This study shows that BN by the lumbar epidural route for analgesia after CABG compares favourably with the same drug through the thoracic route in terms of quality of analgesia and incidence of side effects.
