Effects of Esketamine on Acute Abdominal Pain After TACE in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma:a Prospective Study TACE(Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization)

Name
pain after TACE
Description
Pain is the main complication after TACE(Transcatheter Arterial Chemoembolization) for hepatocellular carcinoma, and its pathogenesis is not clear.The pain may be related to partial liver tissue swelling after blocking the tumor blood supply artery embolization agent, transient hepatic swelling causing tension or strain on the liver capsule, and chemical irritation by the anticancer drug-Lipiodol mixture,the inadvertent embolization of normal organs and individual sensitivity to pain. Ketamine produces anesthetic and analgesic effects mainly by inhibiting NMDA receptor(N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor), and previous studies have shown that low concentrations of ketamine have obvious analgesic effects. Not only that, ketamine also produces analgesic effects by inhibiting opioid receptors via G-protein coupling. In addition, ketamine can bind to monoaminergic receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system, showing an anticholinergic effect and producing an antispasmodic effect. Ketamine also inhibits inflammatory pain by reducing nitric oxide production by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase. Esketamine is about three to four times more potent than ketamine. Therefore,esketamine requires a lower dose, about half the dose of ketamine, to produce anesthetic and analgesic effects, with fewer side effects.

Treatment
Esketamine
PCIA formula#100ml analgesic solution was prepared by adding 2.5 mg/kg Esketamine and 8mg ondansetron into normal saline. 30min before TACE treatment, the first dose of 2ml was slowly injected intravenously. No obvious adverse reactions were observed for 10min.The PCIA pump was commenced at the beginning of TACE. Parameter setting of intravenous analgesia pump: the total volume is 100ml; The duration is 2ml / h; The single dose is 2ml each time; The limit quantity is 10ml / h; The locking time was 10min and the analgesia lasted for 48h. The target value of analgesia in this study was NRS (Numerical Rating Scale)\< 4; If NRS ≥ 4, when the effect is still poor after adding drugs by pressing the analgesic pump, the investigators will give the remedial drug(dolantin 50mg im st) according to the patient's condition.

Sufentanil
PCIA formula#100ml analgesic solution was prepared by adding 2 μ g/kg sufentanil and 8mg ondansetron into normal saline. 30min before TACE treatment, the first dose of 2ml was slowly injected intravenously.No obvious adverse reactions were observed for 10min. The PCIA pump was commenced at the beginning of TACE.
