Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O mecanismo de ação analgésica a2-adrenérgico tem sido explorado há mais de 100 anos. A clonidina aumenta de maneira dose-dependente a duração dos bloqueios sensitivo e motor e tem propriedades antinociceptivas. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar se a adição de clonidina na dose de 15 e 30 µg à raquianestesia, para cesariana, com bupivacaína hiperbárica a 0,5% (12,5 mg) e morfina (100 µg), melhora a qualidade da analgesia pós-operatória. MÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo prospectivo e aleatório com 60 pacientes divididas em três grupos: BM - bupivacaína hiperbárica a 0,5% (12,5 mg) e morfina (100 µg), BM15 - bupivacaína hiperbárica a 0,5% (12,5 mg), morfina (100 µg) e clonidina (15 µg) e BM30 - bupivacaína hiperbárica a 0,5% (12,5 mg), morfina (100 µg) e clonidina (30 µg), administradas separadamente. No peri-operatório, foram anotados o consumo de efedrina e a avaliação do recém-nascido pelo índice de Apgar. No pós-operatório, a dor foi avaliada na 12ª h pela Escala Analógica Visual, o tempo para solicitação de analgésicos e efeitos colaterais pós-operatórios, como prurido, náuseas, vômitos, bradicardia, hipotensão arterial e sedação. Os valores foram considerados significativos quando p < 0,05. RESULTADOS: Os grupos foram homogêneos. O consumo de efedrina e a avaliação pelo índice de Apgar não exibiram diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos. Os escores de dor e o tempo médio de analgesia mostraram diferença entre os grupos BM e BM15/BM30 e não houve diferença com relação à incidência de efeitos colaterais pós-operatórios. CONCLUSÕES: A adição de clonidina na raquianestesia com bupivacaína hiperbárica a 0,5% (12,5 mg) e morfina (100 µg) para cesariana, melhorou a qualidade da analgesia pós-operatória, sem aumentar a incidência de efeitos colaterais, sendo 15 µg de clonidina a dose sugerida.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The mechanism of action of alpha2-adrenergic analgesia has been explored for more than one hundred years. The increased duration of the sensitive and motor blockades caused by clonidine is dose-dependent and has antinociceptive properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of 15 to 30 µg of clonidine to spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg) and morphine (100 µg) improves the quality of postoperative analgesia. METHODS: We realized a prospective, randomized study that included 60 patients divided in 3 groups: BM - 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg) and morphine (100 µg), BM15 - 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg), morphine (100 µg), and clonidine (15 mg), and BM30 - 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg), morphine (100 µg), and clonidine (30 µg), administered separately. In the perioperative period the use of ephedrine and the newborn's Apgar score were recorded. In the postoperative period, the pain was evaluated in the 12th h by the VAS, the length of time it took the patient to ask for analgesics, and the postoperative side effects, such as pruritus, nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, and sedation. The values were considered significant when p < 0.05. RESULTS: The groups were homogenous. The use of ephedrine and the evaluation by the Apgar score did not show statistically significant differences among the different groups. The pain scores and the average time to start analgesia showed differences among the groups BM and BM15/BM30, and there were no differences regarding the incidence of postoperative side effects. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of clonidine to spinal anesthesia with 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12.5 mg) and morphine (100 µg) for cesarean section improved the quality of the postoperative analgesia without increasing the incidence of side effects. We suggest that the dose of 15 µg of clonidine should be used.
