Objective-To compare the anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of total IV anesthesia with propofol (P-TIVA) or a ketamine-medetomidine-propofol combination (KMP-TIVA) in horses. Design-Randomized experimental trial. Animals-12 horses. Procedure-Horses received medetomidine (0.005 mg/kg [0.002 mg/lb], IV). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam (0.04 mg/kg [0.018 mg/lb], IV) and ketamine (2.5 mg/kg [1.14 mg/lb], IV). All horses received a loading dose of propofol (0.5 mg/kg [0.23 mg/lb], IV), and 6 horses underwent P-TIVA (propofol infusion). Six horses underwent KMP-TIVA (ketamine [1 mg/kg/h {0.45 mg/lb/h}] and medetomidine [0.00125 mg/kg/h {0.0006 mg/lb/h}] infusion; the rate of propofol infusion was adjusted to maintain anesthesia). Arterial blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Qualities of anesthetic induction, transition to TIVA, and maintenance of and recovery from anesthesia were evaluated. Results-Administration of KMP IV provided satisfactory anesthesia in horses. Compared with the P-TIVA group, the propofol infusion rate was significantly less in horses undergoing KMP-TIVA (0.14 +/- 0.02 mg/kg/min [0.064 +/- 0.009 mg/lb/min] vs 0.22 +/- 0.03 mg/kg/min [0.1 +/- 0.014 mg/lb/min]). In the KMP-TIVA and P-TIVA groups, anesthesia time was 115 +/- 17 minutes and 112 +/- 11 minutes, respectively, and heart rate and arterial blood pressure were maintained within acceptable limits. There was no significant difference in time to standing after cessation of anesthesia between groups. Recovery from KMP-TIVA and P-TIVA was considered good and satisfactory, respectively. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-In horses, KMP-TIVA and P-TIVA provided clinically useful anesthesia; the ketamine-medetomidine infusion provided a sparing effect on propofol requirement for maintaining anesthesia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This was a prospective audit to assess the incidence and characteristics of early postoperative complications in the recovery room in extubated patients after elective neurosurgical procedures using propofol and remifentanil-based total intravenous anaesthesia. METHODS: Vital signs (temperature, conscious level, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, pulse and blood pressure) and postoperative complications (shivering, nausea, vomiting and cardiorespiratory) were analysed in 145 adult patients over a 1-yr period. RESULTS: The overall shivering, postoperative nausea and vomiting and postoperative hypertension (systolic blood pressure more than 25% of the preoperative value) incidences were 30.3%, 16.6% and 35.2%, respectively. Fifty-one percent of the patients had at least one of the above complications. The complication rates were found to be widely different among various types of neurosurgery. The surgical procedures were divided into five groups: supratentorial craniotomy, posterior fossa craniotomy, intracranial vascular procedures, transphenoidal hypophysectomy and extracranial procedures. Median extubation time was similar in all groups and patients were fully conscious with no hypoxia in the recovery room. The intracranial vascular group had the highest shivering and postoperative nausea and vomiting rates (58.8% and 29.4%, respectively). In the supratentorial craniotomy group, 46% of the patients had hypertension. The overall complication rate (presence of any complications) was highest in the supratentfial craniotomy (55.4%), posterior fossa craniotomy (75%) and intracranial vascular (76.5%) groups. Shivering and overall complication rate was significantly related to the anaesthetic time (P<or=0.001 and 0.02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Despite the potential advantages of total intravenous anaesthesia in titratability, rapid return of consciousness and reduced respiratory complications, making it suitable for planned extubation at the end of neurosurgery, the postoperative complications of shivering, postoperative nausea and vomiting and hypertension were still high.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ephedrine and phenylephrine on propofol concentrations and bispectral index during propofol anesthesia. METHODS: General anaesthesia was induced with propofol and was maintained with propofol (4 mg kg-1 h-1) and fentanyl. Vecuronium was used to facilitate the artificial ventilation of the lungs. Patients with systolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg were defined as the control group (n = 16). Patients who had to be treated for larger decreases in arterial blood pressure (systolic blood pressure 60, whereas no patient in the control or phenylephrine groups had bispectral index >60. There were no significant differences in propofol concentrations or cardiac output relative to baseline at 3 or 10 min after the administration of ephedrine or phenylephrine. CONCLUSIONS: Ephedrine increases bispectral index values without decreasing propofol concentrations during general anesthesia.
