Abstract:

Although parecoxib plays an important role in pain management after ambulatory gynecological surgery, its exact effect remains to be fully elucidated. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of parecoxib pretreatment in reducing pain intensity after ambulatory gynecological surgery. A total of 200 female patients who were scheduled to selective ambulatory gynecological surgery were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received normal saline as placebo, whereas 40 mg parecoxib was given to the patients in the parecoxib group 30 min prior to anesthesia induction. Visual analoguescore (0 mm = no pain, and 100 mm = most severe pain) was used to evaluate postoperative pain severity. Pain scores were significantly lower in the parecoxib group than those in the control group after surgery. Compared with the control group, the incidence of intraoperative hypoxemia was significantly lower, and the recovery time from end of anesthesia to eye opening and birth date recollection were significantly shorter in the parecoxib group. Patients in the parecoxib group also had significantly improved overall satisfaction than those in the control group.
