Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyThe ED95 of Nalbuphine in Outpatient-Induced Abortion Compared to Equivalent Sufentanil.
This prospective study evaluated the 95% effective dose (ED95 ) of nalbuphine in inhibiting body movement during outpatient-induced abortion and its clinical efficacy versus the equivalent of sufentanil. The study was divided into two parts. For the first part, voluntary first-trimester patients who needed induced abortions were recruited to measure the ED95 of nalbuphine in inhibiting body movement during induced abortion using the sequential method (the Dixon up-and-down method). ⋯ Both nalbuphine and the equivalent dose of sufentanil provided a good intraoperative and post-operative analgesic effect in outpatient-induced abortion. However, the post-operative morbidity of dizziness for nalbuphine was less than for sufentanil (p < 0.05), and the awakening time and the time to leave the hospital were significantly shorter than those of sufentanil (p < 0.05). Nalbuphine at 0.128 mg/kg was used in outpatient-induced abortion as an intraoperative and post-operative analgesic and showed a better effect compared with sufentanil.
