Background Laryngoscopy and intubation increases blood pressure and heart rate. Objective The study aims to investigate the effect and safety of gabapentin, esmolol or their combination on the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Methods A total of 72 patients undergoing elective surgery were randomly allocated to one of the four groups. First study drug was administered orally as gabapentin 1200mg or placebo. Second study drug was administered intravenously as esmolol 1.5mg/kg or normal saline. Heart rate, rate pressure product, systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were recorded at baseline and at zero, one, three and five minutes after tracheal intubation. Results Baseline values were compared with the values at various time intervals within the same group. In group PE (placebo, esmolol), there was significant decrease in heart rate and rate pressure product at five minutes. In group GN (gabapentin, normal saline), there was significant decrease in systolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure at five minutes. In group GE (gabapentin, esmolol), there was significant decrease in heart rate at zero, three and five minutes. Systolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and rate pressure product was significantly lower at three and five minutes. In group PN (placebo, normal saline), there was significant increase in heart rate at zero, one, three and five minutes; systolic blood pressure at zero and one minutes; mean arterial pressure at zero and one minutes & rate pressure product at zero, one and three minutes. In group GN (gabapentin, normal saline), there was significant increase in heart rate at zero, one and three minutes & rate pressure product at zero, one and three minutes. In group PE (placebo, esmolol), there was significant increase in systolic blood pressure at zero and one minutes & mean arterial pressure at zero and one minutes. However, in group GE (gabapentin, esmolol) none of the variables showed statistically significant increase at any time. Inter-group comparison was made for each time point. At zero minute, there was significant difference in heart rate between groups PN and GE, GN and PE & GN and GE Significant difference was also noted in rate pressure product between PN and GE at zero minute. At one minute there was difference in heart rate between PN and PE, PN and GE, GN and PE & between GN and GE. Significant difference was observed in rate pressure product between PN and PE & between PN and GE at one minute. No significant side effects of the study drugs were observed. ConclusionsCombination of gabapentin and esmolol in this study design is safe and better attenuates both the pressor and tachycardic response to laryngoscopy and intubation, than either agent alone.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/kumj.v9i4.6336 Kathmandu Univ Med J 2011;9(4):238-43

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of intravenous lignocaine 1.5 mg / kg & intravenous dexmedetomidine 1 mcg / kg for attenuating the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy & endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia. METHODS In this prospective randomised, comparative, clinical study, 60 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, among them 30 patients were given infusion of 1.5 mg / kg IV lignocaine, diluted to 10 ml with normal saline, 3 minutes before intubation & 30 patients were given infusion of dexmedetomidine 1 mcg / kg diluted to 25 ml in normal saline over 10 minutes through infusion pump before induction. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, rate pressure product, oxygen saturation were measured at baseline, after study drug intubation at L + 1, L + 3, L + 5, L + 7 & L + 10 (L is onset of laryngoscopy). Statistical analysis was done by using descriptive & inferential statistics using chisquare test, Students paired & unpaired t test to find out the significance of the five variables namely mean heart rate (HR), mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean rate pressure product (RPP). RESULTS Dexmedetomidine provided better blunting of stress response during laryngoscopy and intubation without causing clinically significant respiratory depression, bradycardia or hypotension. It is better in achieving a low RPP, which is a good predictor of myocardial oxygen consumption. Dexmedetomidine provides better cardio-protection in patients against pressure response than lignocaine. CONCLUSIONS In these 60 patients, dexmedetomidine (1 mcg / kg) was found to be superior to lignocaine (1.5 mg / kg) for attenuation of pressor response.

Laryngoscopy and end tracheal intubation are stressful situation for the patients, as these procedures are capable of producing tachycardia, hypertension and arrhythmias. This study was conducted with the objective of arriving at an optimal dose of dexmedetomidine that can attenuate the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation with minimal side effects. The current study was conducted in 60 patients, posted for elective surgery under general anesthesia withendotracheal intubation. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A received dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg and group B received dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg intravenously over 10 min prior to induction of anesthesia. The anesthesia technique was standardized in both the groups. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure were monitored and recorded at 5min and 10 min of completion of infusion of study drug, after induction, and at 1 min, 2 min, 5 min after intubation. The baseline heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were statistically similar in both the groups. After the infusion of the study drug the mean heart rate, mean systolic blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure at all times were comparable in both the groups. Episodes of hypotension and bradycardia were also statistically similar in both the groups. Attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation by dexmedetomidine is similar with the two doses: 0.5  μg/kg and 1 μg/kg. Both the doses of dexmedetomidine were devoid of any significant adverse effects.

Pasien kraniotomi dengan blok scalp membutuhkan penambahan fentanyl lebih sedikit. Differences on Hemodynamic Response with Levobupivacaine Scalp Block in Craniotomy SurgeryAbstractBackground and Objective: Increased hemodynamic response caused by pain can lead to increased cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure. Scalp block in craniotomy blunts hemodynamic response due to pain and reduce other analgesics addition. This study aims to determine effectiveness of scalp blocks as analgesic in craniotomy.Subject and Method: This study used a double-blind randomized clinical trial in 36 patients with physical status ASA 1-3 who underwent craniotomy and met inclusion criteria. Samples were divided into group I (with scalp block) and group II (without scalp block). Scalp Block was performed right after anesthesia induction. Using levobupivacaine 0.375% 3 ml for each insertion. Blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate before and after intubation, during pin placement, skin incision and duramater incision and total need for additional fentanyl were recorded. SPSS version 17 was used and data were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis or One-way ANOVA. Statistical significance was accepted at p < 0.05.Result: During craniotomy, heart rate, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure were significantly higher in patients without scalp block especially during pin placement. Statistical test showed significant difference, additional fentanyl in patients with scalp blocks was lesser, p = 0.000 (p <0.05). Conclusion: Levobupivacaine scalp block was effective to blunt hemodynamic response especially during pin placement. Scalp block also decreased additional fentanyl in craniotomy.

Background: The ideal method to prevent hypotension due to intravenous propofol for induction of anesthesia is still debatable. The aim of the study was to compare the hemodynamic response of ephedrine and volume loading with ringer lactate in preventing the hypotension caused by propofol as inducing agent in patients scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation.Methods: This was prospective randomized study conducted in 40 patients of ASA physical status I, aged 20-50 years, scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Group I received intravenous ephedrine sulphate (70 mcg/kg) just before induction of anaesthesia, and patients assigned to Group II received preloading with Ringer's lactate (12 ml/kg) over the 10-15 minutes before the administration of propofol. The variables compared were heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure following induction of anesthesia till 10 minutes after intubation of trachea.Results: We found that there were increase in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure after induction in both the groups but the difference between the groups was not significant. The increase in heart rate was found to be significantly higher in ephedrine group in comparison to volume loading group.Conclusion: Our study showed that both the methods used were equally effective in preventing hypotension induced by propofol in the adult ASA physical status I patients requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. However, the heart rate was significantly higher in patients receiving ephedrine in comparison to volume loading group.

Background: Once a patent expires, generic analogue drugs are alternatives to brand name drugs. Because bioequivalence/biodistribution problems have been reported for many generic analogue drugs, we prospectively evaluated 31 patients to reveal the differences in the doses used and the efficacy and adverse events of two different intravenous esmolol formulations. Methods: This was a prospective observational pilot study. Our aim was to reveal the possible differences in the required doses between two different formulations (brand name drug vs generic analogue drug) of intravenous esmolol in beats per minute, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in intra- and postoperative patients with supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension. The patients were categorised into two groups according to the medication they received (brand name drug or generic analogue drug). Results: Esmolol was given to 31 patients (16 generic analogue drug and 15 brand name drug). Although there was a statistically significant difference in bolus (mg/kg) and continued (mg/kg/h) drug dose used (brand name drug/generic analogue drug, mean (standard deviation), 0.3 (0.1) vs 0.38 (0.1), p = 0.03 for bolus dose, and 0.22 (0.09) vs 0.29 (0.08) for continued dose at 10 min (p = 0.03), 0.19 (0.06) vs 0.24 (0.05) at 20 min (p = 0.01) and 0.14 (0.05) vs 0.18 (0.05) at 30 min (p = 0.02)), there were no time-related statistical significant differences in the reduction rates of the two drugs (p = 0.47). There were no time-related statistically significant differences between the two groups in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and beats per minute, nor in their adverse events. Conclusion: In this pilot study, smaller doses were given for controlling the patient’s haemodynamics when a brand name drug was used. Because there were no significant time-related differences in the reduction rates of the two drugs nor in any haemodynamic differences between the two groups, optimal titration of the drug used could effectively control the patient’s haemodynamics. The adverse events were also similar in both groups.

Hemodynamic Stability

Purpose/Background Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation after induction of anesthesia can cause a reflex sympathetic surge of catecholamines caused by airway stimulation. This may cause hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias. This reflex can be detrimental in patients with poor cardiac reserve and can be poorly tolerated and lead to adverse events such as myocardial ischemia. Fentanyl, a potent opioid, with a rapid onset and short duration of action is given during induction to block the sympathetic response. With a rise in the opioid crisis and finding ways to change the practice in medicine to use less opioids, dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2 adrenergic agonist, can decrease the release of norepinephrine, has analgesic properties, and can lower the heart rate. Methods In this scoping review, studies published between 2009 and 2021 that compared fentanyl and dexmedetomidine during general anesthesia induction and endotracheal intubation of surgical patients over the age of 18 were included. Full text, peer-reviewed studies in English were included with no limit on country of study. The outcomes included post-operative reviews of decrease in pain medication usage and hemodynamic stability. Studies that were included focused on hemodynamic variables such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and use of opioids post-surgery. Result Of 2,114 results from our search, 10 articles were selected based on multiple eligibility criteria of age greater than 18, patients undergoing endotracheal intubation after induction of general anesthesia, and required either a dose of dexmedetomidine or fentanyl to be given prior to intubation. Dexmedetomidine was shown to effectively attenuate the sympathetic surge during intubation over fentanyl. Dexmedetomidine showed a greater reduction in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure than fentanyl, causing better hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing elective surgery.Implications for Nursing Practice Findings during this scoping review indicate that dexmedetomidine is a safe and effective alternative to fentanyl during induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation in attenuating the hemodynamic response. It is also a safe choice for opioid-free anesthesia.

Vascular Stability

The effect of different blood temperatures on the vascular stability during hemofiltration was evaluated in 10 patients being in the regular chronic hemofiltration program. In contrast to recent data, no differences could be observed with regard to the heart rate, systolic blood pressure or mean arterial pressure, when the blood returned to the patient either with a temperature of 34.68°C or 36.22°C. According to these data it is therefore presently not justified to consider differences in the blood temperature as a critical determinant for the vascular stability during HF.

Abstract Objectives To determine the correlation between anthropometric indices and the selected hemodynamic parameters among secondary adolescents aged 12–17 years. Results Our findings showed weak positive correlation between generally body surface area, neck circumference and conicity index with the hemodynamic parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, resting pulse rate, mean arterial pressure, rate pressure product and pulse pressure). However, the ponderosity index, body mass index and waist hip ratio showed negative weak correlations with the hemodynamic parameters. There was a significant difference in pulse pressure among the BMI categories. All parameters showed significant (p < 0.05) differences across the categories of neck circumference and waist hip ratio. Generally, in multivariate regression analysis, anthropometric indices showed significant prediction of the hemodynamic parameters.

Objective: To compare the hemodynamic effects of Atracurium versus Cisatracurium in Cardiac Patients Undergoing coronary artery bypass graft Surgery. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Armed Forces Institute of Rawalpindi, a tertiary care hospital, after seeking hospital ethics committee permission, from Apr 2019 to Oct 2019. Methodology: A total of 200 consecutive patients were randomized into two equal groups, group-A and group-C (100 in each group). Group-A patients were induced with 0.5mg/kg of Atracurium, followed by infusion @ 10μg/kg/min whereas group C patients received Cisatracurium @ 0.2mg/kg at induction, followed by infusion @ 2μg/kg/min during the maintainence phase. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were noted at different intervals of both groups. Decrease in systolic blood pressure of >20% from baseline or a value <90 mmHg was considered as hypotension. Results: The mean age of patients was 57.5 ± 6.75 years and 56.52 ± 4.46 years in group A and group C respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was better maintained with cisatracurium than atracurium. Also Mean arterial pressure remained more stable with cisatracurium (p<0.05), but after opening of sternum and before going on cardiopulmonary bypass, the difference was insignificant in both groups (p>0.05). Heart rate remained more steady with cisatracurium (p<0.05) but had insignificant difference before going on cardiopulmonary bypass (p>0.05). Conclusion: Cisatracurium found to be more suitable drug in maintaining the stable hemodynamics and preventing fluctuations in pressure in cardiac patients undergoing on-pump bypass surgery.
