Abstract:Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of different degrees of fat infiltration of paravertebral muscles on the use of rocuronium in lumbar surgery. Methods This study was a prospective cohort study. From December 2021 to September 2022, 87 patients who underwent L4-5 spinal canal decompression combined with vertebral fusion surgery were selected in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, including 42 males and 45 females aged 31-65 years. The American Association of Anesthesiology classified 22 cases as grade Ⅰ and 65 cases as grade Ⅱ. All patients underwent preoperative MR examination to measure the cross sectional area (CSA), functional muscle area (FMA), and fat infiltration rate of the spine muscle and multifidus muscle (collectively referred to as paravertebral muscle) in the L4-5 segment of the surgical area. They were divided into three groups in accordance with the fat infiltration rate, Among them, 28, 30, and 29 patients with fat infiltration rates <30%, ≥30%-50%, and >50% were categorized into mild fat infiltration group (L group), moderate fat infiltration group (M group), and severe fat infiltration group (H group), respectively. The Drager Trident muscle relaxation monitor was used to monitor the muscle relaxation of trapezius muscle. During the maintenance of anesthesia, rocuronium was continuously pumped. The pump speed of rocuronium was adjusted in accordance with the post-tetanic stimulation count (PTC) to maintain 0<PTC≤2; 5 mg of rocuronium was given intermittently on the basis of the muscle relaxation state during operation. For observational indicators, (1) the clinical baseline data of the three groups of patients were compared; (2) the CSA and FMA of lumbar paravertebral muscles at L4~5 of the three groups were compared; and (3) the total dosage of rocuronium, the pump time, the pump speed, the onset time of rocuronium, the clinical efficacy, the recovery index, and the satisfaction score of intraoperative muscle relaxation among the three groups were compared. Results (1) No statistically significant difference was found in the clinical baseline data of gender, age, height, body mass, body mass index, degreased body mass, preoperative albumin, and electrolyte among the three groups (all P values >0.05). (2) No statistically significant difference was observed in the CSA of lumbar L4-5 paravertebral muscles among the three groups (P >0.05). The FMA was, from large to small, in the following order: L group (35.8±4.4)cm², M group (29.3±6.7)cm², H group (19.9±3.1)cm². The difference was statistically significant (F=73.22, P<0.001). (3) During the maintenance of anesthesia, the total amount of rocuronium was, from high to low, as follows: L group (42.1±5.0)mg, M group (30.5±8.1) mg, H group (25.5±5.4) mg. The pump speed was, from high to low, as follows: L group (23.7±2.8) µg·kg-1·min-1, M group (18.1±2.6)μg·kg-1·min-1, H group (16.42±2.3) μg·kg-1·min-1. The onset time from long to short was as follows: L group (108.4±8.6) s, M group (102.8±10.2)s, H group (96.9±8.2)s. The clinical efficacy ranged from long to short in the following order: H group (31.0±3.1)min, M group (27.0±3.2)min, L group (24.0±2.6) min, with significant differences (F=51.05, 60.54, 11.45, 40.76; all P values <0.001). However, no significant difference was found in the pump time, recovery index, and satisfaction score of intraoperative muscle relaxation among the three groups (all P values > 0.05). Conclusion In lumbar surgery, the lower the degree of fat infiltration in the paraspinal muscles of patients in the operation area, the greater the amount of rocuronium, the longer the onset time, and the shorter the clinical efficacy. The degree of fat infiltration in the paraspinal muscles could provide a reference for the individualized use of rocuronium in lumbar surgery.
