RETRACTED: Effect of Propofol Intravenous Anesthesia Combined with Press-Needle Therapy on Analgesic Effect during Painless Abortion (Retracted Article)

Objective. To discover the effect of propofol intravenous anesthesia along with press-needle therapy on analgesic effect during painless abortion. Methods. A total of 128 cases who experienced painless abortion in our hospital from January 2019 to August 2021 were recruited as the research subjects. They were categorized into control and observation groups through the haphazard number table approach, with 64 patients in each group. Propofol intravenous anesthesia was given to the control group, and the observation group was given combined anesthesia with press-needle on this basis. Ramsay score, hemodynamic indexes, operation-related indexes, and postoperative recovery were studied between the two groups before anesthesia (T0), at the time of uterine aspiration (T1), promptly following the operation (T2), and at the recovery time of directional force (T3). The stress state and the level of pain mediators in the two groups of sufferers were observed at each time period, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) was employed to assess the degree of postoperative uterine contraction pain. Results. Ramsay score at T1 and T2 time points in observation group was lesser than that in control group (P < 0.05). There existed no meaningful discrepancies in operation time and recovery time between both groups (P > 0.05). The total dosage of propofol in the observation group was lesser compared to that in the control group, and the recovery time of directional force was much shorter compared to that in the control group (P < 0.05). There existed no meaningful discrepancies in perioperative diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and heart rate (HR) between both groups (P > 0.05). The levels of norepinephrine (NE), cortisol (Cor), glucose (GLU) and substance P (SP), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) in the observation group were lesser than those in the control group immediately after surgery and 24 hours following the operation (P < 0.05). There existed no meaningful discrepancies in vaginal bleeding time, endometrial thickness 3 weeks after operation, and time to start menstruating between both groups (P > 0.05). The score of VAS for the observation group was lesser than that of the control group at 10 min and 30 min after operation (P < 0.05). There existed no substantial discrepancy in the incidence of negative reactions between both groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion. Propofol intravenous anesthesia combined with press-needle therapy can ameliorate the analgesic impacts during painless abortion, reduce postoperative uterine contraction pain, inhibit the release of postoperative pain mediators, and improve the stress state of the body.
