Objective To investigate whether parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia reduces inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones production in elderly patients after total hip replacement. Method Sixty patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification Ⅰ-Ⅱ undergoing total hip replacement for femoral neck fracture or aseptic necrosis of the femoral head, aged between 60 and 90 years with a body weight more than 50 kg, were randomly divided into preemptive analgesia group (group P, n=30) and control group (group C, n=30). The patients in group P received parecoxib sodium 40 mg intravenously 30 min before skin incision, and another 20 mg 8 hours after the first administration. All the patients in the two groups received the administration of patient-controlled analgesia sufentanyl. We recorded blood levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), cortisol (COR), adrenaline (AD) and noradrenaline (NAD) 30 min before skin incision, and 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours postoperatively. Results The blood levels of IL-6, TNF-α, COR, AD and NAD in group P at 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours postoperatively were significantly lower than those in group C (P<0.05). Conclusions Parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia reduces postoperative inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones production in elderly patients undergoing total hip replacement.
