- Brief Summary
Wound infiltration by local anaesthetics has become increasinglycommon for postoperative analgesia owing to its simplicity, safety andeffectiveness and its provision of effective postoperative analgesia, particularlyafter surgical procedures. TramadolHydrochloride is a synthetic analogue of codeine when added as an adjuvant tolocal anaesthetic agents, causes an effect similar to that of clonidine and itcan modify the effects of local anaesthetics by directly or indirectlyeffecting sodium channels, thus contributing to more effective analgesia. Combinationof ropivacaine and tramadol for wound infiltration after spine surgeries mayprovide superior analgesic effects compared with the sole administration of ropivacainethrough the same route. However the optimum dose of tramadol as an adjuvant hasnot been defined conclusively. The present study is aim to assess the analgesicefficacy of two different doses of tramadol added to ropivacaine for woundinfiltration in spine surgeries.
Patients will be randomized to receive their study drugs after thespinal surgery and before closing the incision line .The study drug as pergroup allocation will be injected over the incision line on the paravertebralmuscles, cutaneous and subcutaneous tissue with equal volume on either sides.This will be followed by reversal of residual neuro-muscular block and aftermeeting extubation criteria patient will be extubated and shifted to recoveryroom.
Post operatively pulse rate , blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygensaturation , numerical rating score(NRS), sedation score will be monitoredevery hourly till the patient complains of pain or NRS > or equal to 4.Level of sedation will be assessed by Ramsay sedation score.
Time to first analgesic requirement will be the time since woundinfiltration done to the time when the patient complains of pain or NRS > orequal to 4. At that time patients will be administered additional analgesiawith inj fentanyl 1mcg/kg IV. Postoperatively all patients will be given injparacetamol 15mg/kg IV every 6th hourly.
Post operatively patients will be monitored for adversecardiovascular and respiratory event, nausea, vomiting and any other sideeffects will be noted within 24 hours.
