Brief summary

This topic foe randomized prospective study.Detection of elderly patients with lunmbar spinal postoperative inflammatory substances in the blood and drainage of liquid level ,clear whether low-dose dexamethasone can inhibit the inflammation, the observation of elderly patients with lumbar spinal postoperative drainage star, to explor whether low-dose dexamthasone can reduce postoperative incision drainage, thus impove the postoprative drainage tube pull rate within three days, which in turn reduce because of the place a retrograde infection caused by drainage tube.

Detailed description

A total of 100 patients undergoing posterior lumbar disc fusion were randomly divided into control group (group C,n=50) and dexamethasone group (group D,n=50). Group D was given 0.15mg/kg dexamethasone (2ml) intravenously after anesthesia induction. Group C was also intravenously injected with 2ml normal saline after anesthesia induction.On this basis, monitor the main results and secondary results

Interventions

Intravenous injection after induction of anesthesia Injection 0.15mg/kg dexamethasone (2ml)

DRUGNormal saline

2ml of normal saline was injected intravenously after induction of anesthesia

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the change of drainage fluid volume6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgeryDrainage fluid (ml)was collected and the volume of drainage fluid was recorded Until the drainage tube was pulled out,
the change of Inflammatory mediators in the drainage fluid6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgeryCRP(mg/ L) in postoperative drainage fluid was observed

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
the change of blood inflammatory mediators6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgeryFasting blood was collected from each enrolled patient preoperatively, 6 hours after surgery and on the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery Fasting blood, blood samples were centrifuged (1500r/min, 15min) and serum was separated and placed in -80℃ deep low temperature refrigerator for measurement. The observation technique After the blood CRP(mg/l)
the change of blood routine white blood cell count6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgeryFasting blood was collected from each enrolled patient preoperatively, 6 hours after surgery and on the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery Fasting blood, blood samples were centrifuged (1500r/min, 15min) and serum was separated and placed in -80℃ deep low temperature refrigerator for measurement.
