Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine preemptive analgesia on emergence agitation and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in the elderly patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical operation. Methods A total of 90 elderly patients who underwent radical resection of bladder cancer in Xuzhou Central Hospital from August 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 45 cases in each group. The control group received dexmedetomidine preemptive analgesia, and the observation group received butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine preemptive analgesia. The levels of hemodynamic indexes, agitation score, the scores of Mini Mental State Examination(MMSE), visual analogue scale (VAS) and the levels of inflammatory factors at different time points and the incidence rate of POCD were compared between the two groups. Results The levels of mean arterial pressure and heart rate in the control group at extubation immediately were significantly higher than those in the observation group and those before anesthesia (P<0.05). The incidence rate of emergence agitation in the observation group was 8.89%, compared with 28.89% in the control group(P<0.05). MMSE scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group 1 and 3 days after operation(P<0.05). There were 4 cases of POCD(8.89%) in the observation group and 15 cases of POCD(33.33%) in the control group after operation, with significant difference(P<0.05). The VAS score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group 4 h, 12 h and 1 d after operation(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α in the observation group 12 h, 1 d and 3 d after operation were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Conclusions For the elderly patients with bladder cancer undergoing radical operation, butorphanol tartrate combined with dexmedetomidine preemptive analgesia can keep the extubation hemodynamics more stable, and can effectively reduce the postoperative pain, the expression of inflammatory factors and the incidence of emergence agitation and POCD.
