Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of an additional transdermal fentanyl patch compared to intravenous analgesics in pain control during the 24-hour period following uterine artery embolization (UAE) for myoma and adenomyosis. Materials and Methods: Between September 2009 and August 2010, 42 patients underwent UAE for myoma or adenomyosis. Of these, 21 received an intravenous opioid (pethidine) and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (group A), and 21 received an additional transdermal fentanyl patch (group B). Pain perception levels were established verbally on a 0-10 scale during the 24-hour period following UAE. Differences in pain trends, mean dose of intravenous pethidine, and adverse effects were compared between the two groups. Results: Pain perception was most severe at 6 hours after UAE and the mean pain level of group B at that time was 6.3 ${\pm}$ 0.7, which was significantly lower than that of group A, 8.2 ${\pm}$ 0.7 (p<0.05). The mean dose of intravenous pethidine was 114.3 ${\pm}$ 59.5 mg in group A and 90.5 ${\pm}$ 49.0 mg in group B, while the incidence of nausea was 67% in group A and 77% in group B. In both cases, the differences were not significantly different (p>0.05), and no evidence of respiratory distress was demonstrated. Conclusion: The addition of a transdermal fentanyl patch to intravenous analgesics is effective in reducing post-embolization pain during the 24-hour period after UAE.

목적: 자궁근종과 자궁선근증 환자에서 자궁동맥색전술 시행 후 통증의 정도를 24시간 동안 평가하여 정맥 내 진통제와 함께 추가로 사용하는 경피 펜타닐 패치의 통증 조절에 대한 효과를 알아보았다. 대상과 방법: 자궁근종과 자궁선근증으로 자궁동맥색전술을 시행 받은 42명의 환자를 대상으로, 마약성 진통제 페티딘과 비스테로이드성 소염제를 정맥 내 투여받은 군(A군)과 추가로 경피 펜타닐 패치를 부착한 군(B군)으로 각각 21명씩 분류하였다. 색전술 시행 후 24시간 동안의 통증지각 정도를 구두통증척도에 따라 0-10점으로 평가하여 시간에 따른 통증 정도를 분석하였다. 또한, 두 군의 통증 정도, 페티딘 투여량, 부작용 발생을 비교하였다. 결과: 전체 환자에서 색전술 6시간 후에 통증의 정도가 가장 심했으며, 이때의 평균 구두통증척도는 A군 8.2 ${\pm}$ 0.7점, B군 6.3 ${\pm}$ 0.7점으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(p < 0.05). A군에서는 평균 114.3 ${\pm}$ 59.5 mg의 페티딘이 투여되었고 B군에서는 평균 90.5 ${\pm}$ 49.0 mg이 투여되었으나, 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.131). 오심의 발생은 A군에서 67%, B군에서 77%였으며 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.495). 호흡장애는 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 자궁동맥색전술 시행 후 24시간 이내의 통증 조절에 정맥 내 진통제에 추가로 경피 펜타닐 패치를 사용하는 것은 효과적이며 심각한 부작용을 일으키지 않았다.
