Ondansetron versus lornoxicam intravenous regional anesthesia |
Official scientific title |
Ondansetron versus lornoxicam as adjuvants to intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) in patients undergoing hand and forearm surgery |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) was ¿rst described in 1908 for anaesthesia of the hand and forearm by August Karl Gustav Bier 1 . It is easy to administer, reliable and cost-effective for short operative procedures of extremities performed on an ambulatory basis 1,2 . Different additives have been combined with local anaesthetics (LAs) to improve block quality, prolong post-de¿ation analgesia, and decrease tourniquet pain 1-4.
Ondansetron, a speci¿c 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) antagonist, is widely used as an antiemetic drug 5 and has a well de¿ned and minor side-effect pro¿le. The 5- HT3 antagonists interfere with peripheral serotonin effects on nociception 6 .
Ondansetron exhibits local anaesthetic properties 7. Ondansetron has demonstrated binding at the opioid m receptors in humans and exhibits agonist activity 8 .
Ondansetron has been shown to be successful in decreasing pain associated with injection of propofol 9 and rocuronium 10 with the added advantage of preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Lornoxicam is a new NSAID of the oxicam class with analgesic, anti-in¿ammatory and antipyretic properties which is available in oral and parenteral form 11.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of adding either ondansetron or lornoxicam to intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) in patients undergoing hand and forearm surgeries.
