Comparison between the analgesic effects of intraarticular neostigmine, tramadol and tenoxicam

Abstract

Objectives: We evaluated the postoperative analgesic effects of intraarticular neostigmine, tramadol and tenoxicam in patients undergoing knee arthroscopy. Methods: After obtaining the ethical committee approval and informed consent, 34 patients (ASA I-II) were randomly assigned to four groups: 20 mg tenoxicam, 100 mg tramadol, and 0.5 mg neostigmine, each given in 20 ml %0.9 NaCl solution intraarticularly at the end of knee arthroscopy. One group received only 20 ml %0.9 NaCl solution. Anesthesia was induced with thiopental 4 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg followed by maintenance with isoflurane 1% in O2/N2O (50%) mixture and vecuronium 0.01 mg/kg. Pain relief was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS); heart rates, mean arterial pressures and side effects were recorded postoperatively at 0th, 1st, 2nd, and 24th hours. Patients’ satisfaction and total analgesic consumption were also evaluated at the end of 24 hours. Tramadol infusion (12 mg/hour) was started in case of need for further analgesia. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tuckey tests. Results: Heart rate and mean arterial pressure values did not differ significantly. The lowest mean VAS 24 value was found in the neostigmine group (p<0.02). Patient satisfaction was complete in the tenoxicam group. Side effects included nausea in two patients receiving neostigmine and tramadol, and somnolence in one patient in the tramadol group. Conclusion: All three drugs had acceptable postoperative analgesia. Taking complete patient satisfaction into account, intraarticular tenoxicam may be an appropriate choice for postoperative analgesia.
