Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution on intraoperative lactic acid accumulation, acid-base balance and postoperative coagulation function in multi-segment lumbar spine surgery.
Methods Seventy patients schedulled by multi-segment lumbar discectomy under general anesthesia were selected, and randomly divided into the sodium lactate Ringer's solution group (LRS group) and sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution group (BRS group) (35 cases each group). The levels of lactate (Lac), pH, base excess (BE), bicarbonate (HCO3–), potassium ion (K+), mean arterial pressure, heart rate, stroke variation rate and cardiac output at different time points were compared between two groups. The intraoperative crystal volume, colloid volume, total fluid volume, urine volume, blood loss volume and time from PACU admission to recovery were compared between two groups. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT) and fibrinogen in two groups were compared between before peration and after 24 hours of operation.
Results There was no statistical significance in the intraoperative crystal volume, colloid volume, total fluid volume, urine volume, blood loss volume and recovery time between two groups (P > 0.05), and there was no statistical significance in the mean arterial pressure, heart rate, stroke variation rate and cardiac output at different time points in two groups (P > 0.05). The Lac level during the operation in the LRS group gradually increased, and was significantly higher than that in the BRS group at the end of the operation (P < 0.05). With the progress of the operation, the BE and pH values in two groups decreased (P < 0.05), and the HCO3– in the LRS group decreased (P < 0.05). At the end of the operation, the pH, BE, HCO3– and K + in the BRS group were higher than those in LRS group (P < 0.05–P < 0.01). After 24 hours of operation, the APTT in the BRS group was shorter than that before operation (P < 0.05), the PT in the LRS group was longer than that before operation (P < 0.05), and the PT in the BRS group was significantly shorter than that in LRS group (P < 0.01).
Conclusions The infusion of sodium bicarbonate Ringer's solution during the perioperative period of lumbar spine surgery is beneficial for maintaining the acid-base stability of body, reducing the Lac level, and improving the coagulation function.
