Abstract: | Background:The effective therapy to reduce postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) remained unknown.Objective:We attempted to manage the systematic review and a meta-analysis to clarify the efficacy of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in potential prevention on CRBD.Methods:We performed the meta-analysis on randomized clinical trials (RCTs), and searched the databases from Web of Sciences, Embase and referred Cochrane Library published from October 2016 to September 2020. Data extraction was carefully conducted by 2 authors, respectively. Meta-analysis that was applied synthetically concerns the incidence and severity of CRBD and the treatment effect of DEX on CRBD.Results:We acquired 5 RCTs with interventions of DEX on CRBD. Meta-analysis showed DEX has significantly reduced the incidence and severity of CRBD compared with control at 0 hour (risk ratios RR] = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.53–0.29, P < .01), 1 hour (RR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.34–0.57, P < .01), and 2 hours (RR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.32–0.58, P < .01) and 6 hours (RR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.29–0.63, P < .01). DEX was also associated with lower incidence of moderate to severe CRBD at 0, 1, and 6 hours after surgery. There were no significant differences in adverse events other than bradycardia, hypotension, and hypertension.Conclusion:The 5 RCTs showed great effectiveness in reducing the incidence and severity of the early and later postoperative CRBD. Meta-analysis showed that DEX interventions were useful in preventing the early and later postoperative CRBD without significant side effects. |
