Methods: Rats received a continuous intrathecal infusion of morphine (0.3-10 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), lidocaine (30-1000 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), a combination of those, or saline. After 6- day infusion, intrathecal morphine challenge test (5 [micro sign]g/10 [micro sign]l) was performed, and time-response curve was constructed to assess the magnitude of tolerance. The tail flick (TF) test and colorectal distension (CD) test were used to measure somatic and visceral antinociceptive effects, respectively.
Results: Antinociceptive effects in the TF and CD tests caused by morphine challenge were reduced (P < 0.01) in the morphine infused groups. The magnitude of the tolerance was inversely associated with the amount of morphine infused. Lidocaine infusion induced no different change in the morphine challenge test from that seen in the saline infusion group. Development of tolerance was greater in morphine 3 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 than in morphine 0.75 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 + lidocaine 150 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 despite their similar antinociceptive effects during intrathecal infusion. The infusion of a low dose of morphine (0.3 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1) did not reduce the antinociceptive effects in the challenge test. 相似文献
Methods: Ten healthy male volunteers underwent two randomly sequenced hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic (insulin infusion rate, 0.6 mU [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for 180 min) clamp studies 4 weeks apart. Self-controlled painful electrical stimulation was applied to the abdominal skin for 30 min, to a pain intensity of 8 on a visual analog scale of 0-10, just before the clamp procedure (study P). In the other study, no pain was inflicted (study C).
Results: Pain reduced whole-body insulin-stimulated glucose uptake from 6.37 +/- 1.87 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (mean +/- SD) in study C to 4.97 +/- 1.38 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in study P (P < 0.01) because of a decrease in nonoxidative glucose disposal, as determined by indirect calorimetry (2.47 +/- 0.88 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in study P vs. 3.41 +/- 1.03 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in study C;P < 0.05). Differences in glucose oxidation rates were not statistically significant. The suppression of isotopically determined endogenous glucose output during hyperinsulinemia tended to be decreased after pain (1.67 +/- 0.48 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in study P vs. 2.04 +/- 0.45 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in study C;P = 0.06). Pain elicited a twofold to threefold increase in serum cortisol (P < 0.01), plasma epinephrine (P < 0.05), and serum free fatty acids (P < 0.05). Similarly, circulating concentrations of glucagon and growth hormone tended to increase during pain. 相似文献
Methods: The study was performed in two parts. Phase 1 used human lymphocytes in an in vitro model of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) generation in response to dobutamine (10-8 to 10-4 M) or epinephrine (10-9 M to 10-5 M), and dobutamine and epinephrine together. Phase 2 was a clinical study in patients after aortocoronary artery bypass in which isobolographic analysis compared the cardiotonic effects of dobutamine (1.25, 2.5, or 5 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or epinephrine (10, 20, or 40 ng [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1), alone or in combination.
Results: In phase 1, dobutamine increased cAMP production 41%, whereas epinephrine increased cAMP concentration [almost equal to] 200%. However, when epinephrine (10-6 M) and dobutamine were combined, dobutamine reduced cAMP production at concentrations between 10-6 to 10-4 M (P = 0.001). In patients, 1.25 to 5 [micro sing]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 dobutamine increased the cardiac index (CI) 15-28%. Epinephrine also increased the CI with each increase in dose. However, combining epinephrine with the two larger doses of dobutamine (2.5 and 5 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) did not increase the CI beyond that achieved with epinephrine and the lowest dose of dobutamine (1.25 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot]-1 min (-1)). In addition, the isobolographic analysis for equieffective concentrations of dobutamine and epinephrine suggests subadditive effects. 相似文献
Methods: Intrathecal catheters were implanted in rats. Morphine (0.3 to 10 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), lidocaine (30-1,000 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1), a combination of those, or saline was infused intrathecally at a constant rate of 1 [micro sign]l/h for 6 days. The tail flick and colorectal distension tests were used to measure the somatic and visceral antinociceptive effects, respectively. Nociceptive tests and motor function tests were repeated on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6. Isobolographic analysis was performed on the results of the tail flick test to determine the magnitude of the interaction.
Results: Intrathecally infused morphine produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects in both the tail flick and the colorectal distension tests. Morphine showed a lower peak percentage maximum possible effect (%MPE) in the colorectal distension test than in the tail flick test. Intrathecal lidocaine also produced dose-dependent antinociceptive effects. Lidocaine infusion at 1,000 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 caused motor impairment. Coinfusion of morphine 0.3 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 and lidocaine 200 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1, which had no effects by themselves, significantly increased the percentage maximum possible effects (P < 0.01). Coinfused lidocaine potentiated the duration and the magnitude of morphine antinociception. Isobolographic analysis of the tail flick test on day 1 showed a synergistic interaction between morphine and lidocaine. 相似文献
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats received a cocaine infusion (1.25 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) followed 15 min later by the coinfusion of either dexmedetomidine (20-[mu]g/kg intravenous bolus followed by an infusion of 1 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, CD group, n = 8) or an equal volume of saline (CS group, n = 8). Dexmedetomidine or saline were coinfused with cocaine until the onset of cocaine-induced seizures. Dopamine concentrations in the nucleus accumbens were measured by microdialysis paired with chromatography. To determine if changes in extracellular dopamine were related to the seizures, dopamine (1 [mu]m) was continuously delivered to the nucleus accumbens in a separate group (DACD group, n = 6) via retrograde microdialysis. These rats then received an intravenous cocaine infusion followed by dexmedetomidine in the same manner as the CD group.
Results: Dexmedetomidine significantly increased the dose of cocaine necessary to produce seizures. Seizures occurred at 25.0 +/- 7.7 and 49.3 +/- 14.8 min in CS and CD, respectively (P < 0.001). The ratio of the percent increase in accumbal dopamine to the cocaine dose at the onset of seizure activity was significantly lower in CD, 39.9 +/- 16.5, compared to CS, 82.2 +/- 46.5 (P = 0.04). Intraaccumbal administration of dopamine prevented the effects of dexmedetomidine on the cocaine seizure threshold. 相似文献
Methods: Thirty-two pigs underwent ligation of the circumflex coronary artery and induction of ventricular fibrillation lasting for 4 min. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed after randomization to one of four groups: epinephrine (30-[mu]g/kg bolus), vasopressin (0.4-U/kg bolus), epinephrine-vasopressin (15-[mu]g/kg epinephrine bolus, 0.2-U/kg vasopressin bolus), or milrinone-vasopressin (0.4-U/kg vasopressin bolus, 50-[mu]g/kg milrinone bolus over 5 min and a continuous infusion of 0.4 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). The hemodynamic variables were measured before cardiopulmonary resuscitation as well as 4, 8, 15, and 30 min after return of spontaneous circulation.
Results: All animals were resuscitated successfully. The animals of the milrinone-vasopressin group displayed significantly (P < 0.05) higher cardiac index values (30 min after return of spontaneous circulation: epinephrine, 65.8 +/- 13.2; vasopressin, 70.7 +/- 18.3; epinephrine-vasopressin, 69.1 +/- 36.2; milrinone-vasopressin, 120.7 +/- 34.8 ml [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] kg-1) without a decrease in mean arterial pressure or coronary perfusion pressure. 相似文献
Methods: Basal anesthesia and constant blood gas tensions were maintained with [alpha]-chloralose and mechanical ventilation. PNA, HR, MAP, and maximum changes in HR and MAP ([DELTA]HR, [DELTA]MAP) evoked by electrical nerve stimulation of tibial nerves were recorded. The comparative effects were observed for propofol at infusion rates from 0.05 to 3.2 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (group I) and remifentanil from 0.0125 to 12.8 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 alone (group II), and during constant infusions of propofol at rates of 0.1 and 0.8 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (groups III and IV, respectively). Finally, the effect of remifentanil on propofol blood levels was observed (group V).
Results: The infusion rates for 50% depression (ED50) of PNA, [DELTA]HR, and [DELTA]MAP were 0.41, 1.32, and 1.58 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for propofol, and 0.115, 0.125, and 1.090 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for remifentanil, respectively. The ratios for the ED50 values of [DELTA]HR and [DELTA]MAP to PNA were 3.2 and 3.9 for propofol, and 1.1 and 9.5 for remifentanil, respectively. Analysis of the expected and observed responses and isobologrms showed that although their combined effects on PNA, resting HR, and MAP, and [DELTA]MAP were synergistic for [DELTA]HR, they were merely additive. Remifentanil had no effect on propofol blood levels. 相似文献
Methods: Seventy-five patients undergoing major abdominal surgery were randomly assigned to receive (1) intraoperative remifentanil at 0.05 [mu]g [middle dot]kg-1 [middle dot]min-1 (small-dose remifentanil); (2) intraoperative remifentanil at 0.40 [mu]g [middle dot]kg-1 [middle dot]min-1 (large-dose remifentanil); or (3) intraoperative remifentanil at 0.40 [mu]g [middle dot]kg-1 [middle dot]min-1 and 0.5 mg/kg ketamine just after the induction, followed by an intraoperative infusion of 5 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 until skin closure and then 2 [mu]g [middle dot]kg-1 [middle dot]min-1 for 48 h (large-dose remifentanil-ketamine). Pain scores and morphine consumption were recorded for 48 postoperative hours. Quantitative sensory tests, peak expiratory flow measures, and cognitive tests were performed at 24 and 48 h.
Results: Hyperalgesia to von Frey hair stimulation adjacent to the surgical wound and morphine requirements were larger (P < 0.05) and allodynia to von Frey hair stimulation was greater (P < 0.01) in the large-dose remifentanil group compared with the other two groups, which were comparable. There were no significant differences in pain, pressure pain detection threshold with an algometer, peak flow, cognitive tests, or side effects. 相似文献
Methods: Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h feeding) on the second day after colorectal surgery performed with or without perioperative epidural blockade. Protein synthesis, breakdown and oxidation, glucose production, and clearance were measured by l-[1-13C]leucine and [6,6-2H2]glucose.
Results: Epidural blockade did not affect protein and glucose metabolism in the fasted state. Parenteral alimentation decreased endogenous protein breakdown and glucose production to the same extent in both groups. Administration of glucose and amino acids was associated with an increase in whole body protein synthesis that was modified by the type of analgesia, i.e., protein synthesis increased by 13% in the epidural group (from 93.3 +/- 16.6 to 104.5 +/- 11.1 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1) and by 4% in the patient-controlled analgesia group (from 90.0 +/- 27.1 to 92.9 +/- 14.8 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1;P = 0.054). 相似文献
Methods: Electroencephalographic recordings of 40 unpremedicated patients undergoing elective surgery were analyzed. Patients were randomly assigned to receive (1) sevoflurane-remifentanil (<= 0.1 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1), (2) sevoflurane-remifentanil (>= 0.2 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1), (3) propofol-remifentanil (<= 0.1 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1), or (4) propofol-remifentanil (>= 0.2 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). Remifentanil and sevoflurane or propofol were given until loss of consciousness. After tracheal intubation, propofol or sevoflurane was stopped until return of consciousness and then restarted to induce loss of consciousness. After surgery, drugs were discontinued. Narcotrend(R) values at loss and return of consciousness were compared with each other, and anesthetic groups were compared. Prediction probability was calculated from values at the last command before and at loss and return of consciousness.
Results: At 105 of 316 analyzed time points, the Narcotrend(R) did not calculate an index, and the closest calculated value was analyzed. No significant differences between loss and return of consciousness were found. In group 1, Narcotrend(R) values were significantly higher than in group 3. Prediction probability was 0.501. 相似文献
Methods: Part I study: 54 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy were randomly divided into two groups (n = 27 per group). The patients in the control group received 0.9% sodium chloride solution, whereas the patients in the magnesium group received magnesium (50 mg/kg as a bolus, then 8 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). To maintain mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) at baseline value, the propofol infusion rate was changed when the MAP or the HR changed. The amount of propofol infused excluding the bolus dosage was divided by patient's body weight and total infusion time. Part II study: Another 20 patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10 per group). When the MAP and HR had been maintained at baseline value and the propofol infusion rate had been maintained at 80 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (magnesium group) and 160 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (control group), bispectral index (BIS) values were measured.
Results: Part I: The mean propofol infusion rate in the magnesium group (81.81 +/- 13.09 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was significantly less than in the control group (167.57 +/- 47.27). Part II: BIS values in the control group (40.70 +/- 3.89) were significantly less than those in the magnesium group (57.80 +/- 7.32). 相似文献
Methods: Forty intent-to-treat patients were randomly allocated to receive a blinded infusion of either remifentanil 0.15 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1 or morphine 0.75 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1. The opioid infusion was titrated, in the first intent, to achieve optimal sedation defined as Sedation Agitation scale of 4. A midazolam open-label infusion was started if additional sedation was required.
Results: The mean percentage hours of optimal sedation was significantly longer in the remifentanil group (78.3 +/- 6.2) than in the morphine group (66.5 +/- 8.5). This was achieved with less frequent infusion rate adjustments (0.34 +/- 0.25 changes/h) than in the morphine group (0.42 +/- 0.22 changes/h). The mean duration of mechanical ventilation and extubation time were significantly longer in the morphine group (18.1 +/- 3.4 h, 73 +/- 7 min) than in the remifentanil group (14.1 +/- 2.8 h, 17 +/- 6 min), respectively. Remifentanil mean infusion rate was 0.13 +/- 0.03 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1, whereas morphine mean infusion rate was 0.68 +/- 0.28 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1. More subjects in the morphine group (9 of 20) than in the remifentanil group (6 of 20) required midazolam. The incidence of adverse events was low and comparable across the two treatment groups. 相似文献
Methods: Nine healthy male volunteers aged 23 to 45 yr were studied in a clinical research facility within our academic medical center. After placement of venous and arterial catheters, dopamine was infused at 10 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for 10 min, followed by a 30-min washout period. Subsequently, dopamine was infused at 3 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for 90 min, followed by another 30-min washout period. Timed arterial blood samples were centrifuged, and the plasma was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Mixed-effects pharmacokinetic models using NONMEM software (NONMEM Project Group, University of California, San Francisco, CA) were used to determine the optimal compartmental pharmacokinetic model for dopamine.
Results: Plasma concentrations of dopamine varied from 12,300 to 201,500 ng/l after 10 min of dopamine infusion at 10 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1. Similarly, steady-state dopamine concentrations varied from 1,880 to 18,300 ng/l in these same subjects receiving 3-[mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 infusions for 90 min. A two-compartment model adjusted for body weight was the best model based on the Schwartz-Bayesian criterion. 相似文献
Methods: Thirty-two women were assigned randomly to one of two drug treatment groups. After premedication with 0.04 mg/kg intravenous midazolam, anesthesia was induced with 2 [micro sign]g/kg intravenous fentanyl, 1.5 mg/kg intravenous propofol, and 0.6 mg/kg intravenous rocuronium, and maintained with desflurane, 2%, and nitrous oxide, 65%, in oxygen. Before skin incision, an infusion of either remifentanil (0.02 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or adenosine (25 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was started and subsequently titrated to maintain systolic blood pressure, heart rate, or both within 10-15% of the preincision values.
Results: Adenosine and remifentanil infusions were effective anesthetic adjuvants during lower abdominal surgery. Use of adenosine (mean +/- SEM, 166 +/- 17 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was associated with a significantly greater decrease in systolic blood pressure and higher heart rate values compared with remifentanil (mean +/- SEM, 0.2 +/- 0.03 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). Total postoperative opioid analgesic use was 45% and 27% lower in the adenosine group at 0-2 h and 2-24 h after surgery, respectively. 相似文献
Methods: Ten healthy male volunteers with a laryngeal mask for artificial ventilation received remifentanil at an infusion rate of 2 and 4 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 under normocapnia, hypocapnia, and hypercapnia. Stable xenon-enhanced computed tomography and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography of the left middle cerebral artery were used to assess rCBF and mean CBFv, respectively. If required, blood pressure was maintained within baseline values with intravenous phenylephrine to avoid confounding effects of altered hemodynamics.
Results: Hemodynamic parameters were maintained constant over time. Remifentanil infusion at 2 and 4 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 significantly decreased rCBF and mean CBFv. Both rCBF and mean CBFv increased as the arterial carbon dioxide tension increased from hypocapnia to hypercapnia, indicating that cerebrovascular reactivity remained intact. The average slopes of rCBF reactivity were 0.56 +/- 0.27 and 0.49 +/- 0.28 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for 2 and 4 [mu]g[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1 remifentanil, respectively (relative change in percent/mmHg: 1.9 +/- 0.8 and 1.6 +/- 0.5, respectively). The average slopes for mean CBFv reactivity were 1.61 +/- 0.95 and 1.54 +/- 0.83 cm [middle dot] s-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for 2 and 4 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 remifentanil, respectively (relative change in percent/mmHg: 1.86 +/- 0.59 and 1.79 +/- 0.59, respectively). Preanesthesia and postanesthesia values of rCBF and mean CBFv did not differ. 相似文献
Methods: After premedication with 0.02 mg/kg midazolam and 1 [mu]g/kg fentanyl, 30 patients aged 20-65 yr were randomized in a double-blinded fashion to receive general anesthesia with either intravenous saline placebo or intravenous lidocaine control (1-mg/kg bolus dose; 25 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). A matched group was prospectively assigned to receive epidural lidocaine (15 ml; 2%) with intravenous saline placebo. All patients received 4 mg/kg thiopental and 1 mg/kg rocuronium for tracheal intubation. After 10 min of a predetermined end-tidal sevoflurane concentration, BIS was measured. The ED50 of sevoflurane for each group was determined by up-down methodology based on BIS less than 50 (MACBIS50). Plasma lidocaine concentrations were measured.
Results: The MACBIS50 of sevoflurane (0.59% end tidal) was significantly decreased with lidocaine epidural anesthesia compared with general anesthesia alone (0.92%) or with intravenous lidocaine (1 %;P < 0.0001). Plasma lidocaine concentrations in the intravenous lidocaine group (1.9 [mu]g/ml) were similar to those in the epidural lidocaine group (2.0 [mu]g/ml). 相似文献
Methods: After institutional approval and informed patient consent were obtained, 23 patients scheduled to undergo supratentorial tumor surgery were randomly assigned to remifentanil or fentanyl infusion groups in a double-blinded manner. Midazolam, thiopental, and pancuronium induction was followed by equipotent narcotic loading infusions of remifentanil (1 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or fentanyl (2 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) for 5-10 min. Patients were ventilated with 2:1 nitrous oxide-oxygen, and opioid rates were reduced and then titrated to a stable hemodynamic effect. After dural exposure, CBF was measured by the intravenous133 xenon technique at normocapnia and hypocapnia. Reactivity of CBF to carbon dioxide was calculated as the absolute increase in CBF per millimeters of mercury increase in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2). Data were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance, unpaired Student's t tests, or contingency analysis.
Results: In the remifentanil group (n = 10), CBF decreased from 36 +/- 11 to 27 +/- 8 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 as PaCO2 decreased from 33 +/- 5 to 25 +/- 2 mmHg. In the fentanyl group (n = 8), CBF decreased from 37 +/- 11 to 25 +/- 6 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 as PaCO2 decreased from 34 +/- 3 to 25 +/- 3 mmHg. Absolute carbon dioxide reactivity was preserved with both agents: 1 +/- 1.2 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for remifentanil and 1.5 +/- 0.5 ml [middle dot] 100 g-1 [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 for fentanyl (P = 0.318). 相似文献
Methods: Nine infants undergoing elective magnetic resonance imaging of the brain were studied. Head position was standardized. Spin echo magnetic resonance images of the airway were acquired at the level of the soft palate, base of the tongue, and tip of the epiglottis. Four sets of images were acquired in sequence: (1) during light propofol anesthesia at an infusion rate of 80 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, (2) after increasing the depth of propofol anesthesia by administering a bolus dose (2.0 mg/kg) and increasing the infusion rate to 240 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, (3) during continued infusion of 240 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 propofol and application of 10 cm H2O CPAP, and (4) after removal of CPAP and continued infusion of 240 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 propofol.
Results: Increasing depth of propofol anesthesia decreased airway caliber at each anatomical level, predominantly due to anteroposterior narrowing. Application of CPAP completely reversed the propofol-induced decrease in airway caliber, primarily by increasing the transverse dimension. 相似文献
