[Clinical study in epidural injection with lappaconitine for post-operative analgesia].
This paper studied the effect and side-effect of Lappaconitine for post-operative analgesia with epidural injection. 50 patients who were operated in the upper abdomen with epidural anesthesia. These patients were randomly divided into 5 groups. The general condition of every group was similar. Group A, B, C was given Lappaconitine 4 ml, 8 ml, 12 ml individually for observation. Group D, E was given 0.9% NS 6 ml and morphine 2 mg individually as control. When the operation was finished the drug was injected into the epidural space with single blind method. The result showed the analgesia of the drug and its effective time was: group E > C > B > A > D. The analgesic effect of Group C was satisfactory. The efficacy and the maintenance time of A, B, C groups were significantly different from that of group D (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Although the effect of group C was less potent than that of group E (morphine injection), there was no side-effect as morphine had. It suggested that Lappaconitine for post-operative analgesia with epidural injection is effective and safe.
