NCT04981093

Brief Summary

This topic foe randomized prospective study.Detection of elderly patients with lunmbar spinal postoperative inflammatory substances in the blood and drainage of liquid level ,clear whether low-dose dexamethasone can inhibit the inflammation, the observation of elderly patients with lumbar spinal postoperative drainage star, to explor whether low-dose dexamthasone can reduce postoperative incision drainage, thus impove the postoprative drainage tube pull rate within three days, which in turn reduce because of the place a retrograde infection caused by drainage tube.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • the change of drainage fluid volume

    Drainage fluid (ml)was collected and the volume of drainage fluid was recorded Until the drainage tube was pulled out,

    6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery

  • the change of Inflammatory mediators in the drainage fluid

    CRP(mg/ L) in postoperative drainage fluid was observed

    6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • the change of blood inflammatory mediators

    6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery

  • the change of blood routine white blood cell count

    6 hours after surgery, the morning of 1, 2, and 3 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Group Dexamethasone

EXPERIMENTAL

Group dexamethasone patients received intravenous injection after anesthesia induction Injection 0.15mg/kg dexamethasone (2ml)

Drug: Dexamethasone Injection

Group Saline

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Group Control patients were also given 2ml of normal saline intravenously after induction of anesthesia

Drug: Normal saline

Interventions

Intravenous injection after induction of anesthesia Injection 0.15mg/kg dexamethasone (2ml)

Group Dexamethasone

2ml of normal saline was injected intravenously after induction of anesthesia

Group Saline
