Effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride injection on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion in aortic dissection surgery

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Penehyclidine Hydrochloride Injection on pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion in aortic dissection surgery. Methods: This study was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Between September 2015 and October 2017 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, 60 patients with aortic dissection underwent total arch replacement surgery were randomly divided into penehyclidine hydrochloride group (group A 30 cases) and control group (group B 30 cases). Patients in group A were infused with penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.05 mg/kg after entering the operating room. Patients in group B were infused with the same dose of 0.9% normal saline. Serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and oxygenation index (OI) before anesthesia (T1), before cardiopulmonary bypass (T2), 1 h after cardiopulmonary bypass (T3), the end of cardiopulmonary bypass (T4), 4 h after surgery (T5) and 24 h after surgery (T6) were measured. The time of postoperative ventilator support and ICU staywas recorded. Results: At the time of T4, T5 and T6, the serum levels of TNF-α[(0.10±0.08), (0.13±0.02), (0.23±0.17) mg/L], IL-6[(0.23±0.08), (0.34±0.07), (0.54±0.17) mg/L]and IL-1[(0.62±0.14), (1.02±0.27), (1.44±0.40) mg/L]in group A were significantly lower than those in group B[(0.30±0.09), (0.51±0.19), (0.86±0.02) mg/L; (0.73±0.19), (1.33±0.13), (1.98±0.13) mg/L; (0.93±0.19), (1.43±0.66), (2.04±0.45) mg/L]. The OI was higher in group A[(446.7±267.0), (386.7±169.5), (391.7±227.9) mmHg]than that of group B[(341.2±145.2), (299.5±98.7), (275.0±127.3) mmHg](P<0.05). The time of ventilator support and ICU stay after operation was (3.6 ±1.2)d, (8.4 ± 2.0) d in group A, which was shorter than that in group B[(4.3 ± 1.8), (10.0 ± 2.2) d], and there were statistical differences between the two groups (all P<0.05). Conclusions: In total arch replacement, intravenous penehyclidine hydrochloride injection may decrease the release of serum TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1, improve oxygenation index, reduce lung ischemia-reperfusion injury, shorten the time of ventilator support and ICU stay after operation, and thus improve the prognosis of patients.
