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: 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: Each volunteer was assigned to randomly undergo a 6-h multiple stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h dextrose infusion) with or without epidural blockade. L-[1-13C]leucine, [6,6-2H2]glucose, and [1,1,2,3,3-2H5]glycerol were infused to measure protein synthesis, breakdown, and amino acid oxidation; glucose production and clearance; and lipolysis. Plasma concentrations of glucose, lactate, glycerol, free fatty acids, insulin, and glucagon were determined.
Results: Epidural blockade with bupivacaine had no influence on protein oxidation, breakdown and synthesis, glucose production, glucose clearance and lipolysis in the fasted state. Plasma concentrations of metabolic substrates and hormones also were not affected. Dextrose infusion significantly increased glucose clearance and plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin, while endogenous glucose production and lipolysis decreased to a similar degree in both groups. Protein synthesis, breakdown, and oxidation did not change during dextrose infusion. 相似文献
Methods: Forty-one adults (aged 20-60 yr) and 24 children (aged 2-10 yr) undergoing lower abdominal surgery were studied. In adults, anesthesia induction was with sevoflurane during remifentanil infusion, whereas in children remifentanil administration was started after induction with sevoflurane. After intubation, sevoflurane was administered in 100% O2 and was adjusted to an ET% of 1 MAC-awake corrected for age at least 15 min before surgery. Patients were randomized to receive remifentanil at a rate ranging from 0.05 to 0.35 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 for at least 20 min before surgery. At the beginning of surgery, only the skin incision was performed, and the somatic and autonomic responses were observed. The somatic response was defined as positive with any gross movement of extremity, and the autonomic response was deemed positive with any increase in heart rate or mean arterial pressure equal to or more than 10% of preincision values. Using logistic regression, the IR50 and IRBAR50 were determined in both groups of patients and compared with unpaired Student t test. A P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The IR50 +/- SD was 0.10 +/- 0.02 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in adults and 0.22 +/- 0.03 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in children (P < 0.001). The IRBAR50 +/- SD was 0.11 +/- 0.02 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in adults and 0.27 +/- 0.06 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 in children (P < 0.001). 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: With institutional review board approval and written informed consent, 120 adult patients scheduled to undergo minor orthopedic surgery were randomized to receive a propofol-remifentanil anesthetic controlled by Narcotrend, by BIS(R), or solely by clinical parameters. Anesthesia was induced with 0.4 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 remifentanil and a propofol target-controlled infusion at 3.5 [mu]g/ml. After intubation, remifentanil was reduced to 0.2 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1, whereas the propofol infusion was adjusted according to clinical parameters or to the following target values: during maintenance to D0 (Narcotrend) or 50 (BIS(R)); 15 min before the end of surgery to C1 (Narcotrend) or 60 (BIS(R)). Recovery times were recorded by a blinded investigator, and average normalized propofol consumption was calculated from induction and maintenance doses.
Results: The groups were comparable for demographic data, duration of anesthesia, and mean remifentanil dosages. Compared with standard practice, patients with Narcotrend or BIS(R) monitoring needed significantly less propofol (standard practice, 6.8 +/- 1.2 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1vs. Narcotrend, 4.5 +/- 1.1 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 or BIS(R), 4.8 +/- 1.0 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1;P < 0.001), opened their eyes earlier (9.3 +/- 5.2 vs. 3.4 +/- 2.2 or 3.5 +/- 2.9 min), and were extubated sooner (9.7 +/- 5.3 vs. 3.7 +/- 2.2 or 4.1 +/- 2.9 min). 相似文献
Methods: With Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent, the authors studied eight healthy, conscious volunteers, aged 19-25 yr. Hemodynamic measurements were obtained at steady state before and after profound acute isovolemic hemodilution with 5% albumin and autologous plasma, and again at the reduced hemoglobin concentration after additional reduction of DO2 by an infusion of a [beta]-adrenergic antagonist, esmolol.
Results: Reduction of hemoglobin from 12.5 +/- 0.8 g/dl to 4.8 +/- 0.2 g/dl (mean +/- SD) increased heart rate, stroke volume index, and cardiac index, and reduced DO2 (14.0 +/- 2.9 to 9.9 +/- 2.0 ml O2 [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1; all P < 0.001). Oxygen consumption (VO2; 3.0 +/- 0.5 to 3.4 +/- 0.6 ml O2 [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1;P < 0.05) and plasma lactate concentration (0.50 +/- 0.10 to 0.62 +/- 0.16 mM;P < 0.05; n = 7) increased slightly. Esmolol decreased heart rate, stroke volume index, and cardiac index, and further decreased DO2 (to 7.3 +/- 1.4 ml O2 [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1; all P < 0.01 vs. before esmolol). VO2 (3.2 +/- 0.6 ml O2 [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1;P > 0.05) and plasma lactate (0.66 +/- 0.14 mM;P > 0.05) did not change further. No value of plasma lactate exceeded the normal range. 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: Fourteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h feeding with 4 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 glucose) on the second day after colorectal surgery using epidural analgesia with either continuous ropivacaine or intermittent morphine. Protein synthesis, breakdown and oxidation, and glucose production were measured by l-[1-13C]leucine and [6,6-2H2]glucose. Substrate oxidation rates were determined by indirect calorimetry. Plasma concentrations of metabolic substrates and hormones were also measured.
Results: Whole body protein breakdown, oxidation, synthesis, and glucose production in the fasted state were similar between the two groups. Glucose administration decreased protein breakdown (P = 0.01), protein synthesis (P = 0.001), and glucose production (P = 0.001) to the same extent in both groups, whereas protein oxidation was not significantly affected. The type of epidural analgesia did not significantly influence the circulating concentrations of metabolic substrates and hormones in the fasted or in the fed state. Carbohydrate oxidation rate in the ropivacaine group was greater than in patients receiving morphine (P = 0.04), regardless of whether glucose was infused. 相似文献
Methods: Rats were assigned to one of four groups: normothermic isoflurane, normothermic pentobarbital, hypothermic isoflurane, and hypothermic pentobarbital. During isoflurane (1.4%; normothermic or hypothermic) or pentobarbital (50 mg/kg administered intraperitoneally; normothermic or hypothermic) anesthesia, the external carotid artery and the femoral artery and vein were catheterized. Body temperature was maintained at 37 and 32[degrees]C for the normothermic and hypothermic groups, respectively. To open the BBB, 25% mannitol was infused through the right carotid artery at the rate of 0.25 ml [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] s-1 for 30 s. The transfer coefficient of 14C-[alpha]-aminoisobutyric acid was determined.
Results: Blood pressure was similar among the four groups of animals. The degree of the BBB disruption by hyperosmolar mannitol was less with isoflurane than pentobarbital anesthesia in the normothermic groups (transfer coefficient: 29.9 +/- 17.1 and 50.4 +/- 17.5 [mu]l [middle dot] g-1 [middle dot] min-1 for normothermic isoflurane and pentobarbital, respectively;P < 0.05). Mild hypothermia decreased the BBB disruption during anesthesia with both anesthetic agents (hypothermic isoflurane: 9.8 +/- 8.3 [mu]l [middle dot] g-1 [middle dot] min-1, P < 0.05 vs. normothermic isoflurane; hypothermic pentobarbital: 30.2 +/- 13.9 [mu]l [middle dot] g-1 [middle dot] min-1, P < 0.05 vs. normothermic pentobarbital), but the disruption was less during isoflurane anesthesia (hypothermic isoflurane vs. hypothermic pentobarbital, P < 0.005). In the contralateral cortex, there were no significant differences among these four experimental groups. 相似文献
Methods: Seventeen stable patients were randomized to receive dobutamine or placebo (n = 8 per group, one dropout). After baseline measurement for systemic, splanchnic, and femoral blood flow (by dye dilution); oxygen consumption; gastric mucosal pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2); total and splanchnic glucose production (by stable isotope tracer dilution); and regional lactate and amino acid balance, patients received either dobutamine, at a dosage (6 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1min-1) sufficient to increase cardiac index by at least 25%, or placebo. A second set of measurements was performed 60 min after the start of dobutamine or placebo infusion.
Results: Dobutamine increased cardiac index (3.0 +/- 0.6 to 4.4 +/- 1.0 l [middle dot] min-1m-2, mean +/- SD;P< 0.05), splanchnic blood flow (from 0.8 +/- 0.2 to 1.0 +/- 0.2 l [middle dot] min-1m-2;P< 0.05), femoral blood flow (from 0.2 +/- 0.1 to 0.3 +/- 0.1 l [middle dot] min-1m-2;P< 0.05), and the arterial-gastric mucosal PCO2 gap (from 11.4 +/- 9.5 to 11.9 +/- 8.0 mmHg;P< 0.05). Dobutamine increased systemic oxygen consumption (from 132 +/- 14 to 146 +/- 13 ml [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] m-2;P< 0.05) but not splanchnic or femoral oxygen consumption. Splanchnic glucose production and lactate and amino acid balance did not change. 相似文献
Methods: Forty-nine patients scheduled to undergo open thoracotomy were randomly assigned to receive one of two anesthesia regimens: continuous epidural infusion of ropivacaine and morphine, along with intravenous infusion of ketamine (0.05 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 [approximately 3 mg/h], ketamine group, n = 24) or placebo (saline, control group, n = 25). Epidural analgesia was continued for 2 days after surgery, and infusion of ketamine or placebo was continued for 3 days. Pain was assessed at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery. Patients were asked about their pain, abnormal sensation on the wound, and inconvenience in daily life at 7 days and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery.
Results: The visual analog scale scores for pain at rest and on coughing 24 and 48 h after thoracotomy were lower in the ketamine group than in the control group (pain at rest, 9 +/- 11 vs. 25 +/- 20 and 9 +/- 11 vs. 18 +/- 13; pain on coughing, 26 +/- 16 vs. 50 +/- 17 and 30 +/- 18 vs. 43 +/- 18, mean +/- SD; P = 0.002 and P = 0.01, P < 0.0001 and P = 0.02, respectively). The numerical rating scale scores for baseline pain 1 and 3 months after thoracotomy were significantly lower in the ketamine group (0.5 [0-4] vs. 2 [0-5] and 0 [0-5] vs. 1.5 [0-6], median [range], respectively; P = 0.02). Three months after surgery, a higher number of control patients were taking pain medication (2 vs. 9; P = 0.03). 相似文献
Methods: Experiments were performed in healthy young men (n = 9) and women (n = 7). Dynamic ventilatory responses to square-wave changes in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (7.5-15 mmHg) and step decreases in end-tidal oxygen tension (step from 110 to 50 mmHg, duration of hypoxia 15 min) were obtained before and during morphine infusion (intravenous bolus dose 100 [micro sign]g/kg, followed by 30 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). Each hypercapnic response was separated into a fast peripheral and slow central component, which yield central (Gc) and peripheral (Gp) carbon dioxide sensitivities. Values are mean +/- SD.
Results: In carbon dioxide studies in men, morphine reduced Gc from 1.61 +/- 0.33 to 1.23 +/- 0.12 l [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05) without affecting Gp (control, 0.41 +/- 0.16 and morphine, 0.49 +/- 0.12 l [middle dot] [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1, not significant). In carbon dioxide studies in women, morphine reduced Gc, from 1.51 +/- 0.74 to 1.17 +/- 0.52 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05), and Gp, from 0.54 +/- 0.19 to 0.39 +/- 0.22 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] mmHg-1 (P < 0.05). Morphine-induced changes in Gc were equal in men and women; changes in Gp were greater in women. In hypoxic studies, morphine depressed the hyperventilatory response at the initiation of hypoxia more in women than in men (0.54 +/- 0.23 vs. 0.26 +/- 0.34 l [middle dot] min-1 [middle dot] %-1, respectively; P < 0.05). The ventilatory response to sustained hypoxia (i.e., 15 min) did not differ between men and women. 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: 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: Twenty-eight mature, female, anesthetized sheep (weight, 30.5 +/- 3.6 kg) underwent cecal ligation and perforation and were randomized into four groups of seven animals to be treated with norepinephrine, dopamine-norepinephrine, dobutamine-norepinephrine, or no adrenergic agent. In all groups, lactated Ringer's solution was administered to restore cardiac filling pressures to baseline. In the norepinephrine group, norepinephrine (0.5-5 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was titrated to maintain mean arterial pressure between 75-85 mmHg. In the dopamine-norepinephrine group, dopamine was given first, and norepinephrine was added only when mean arterial pressure remained below 75 mmHg despite the infusion of 20 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 dopamine. In the dobutamine-norepinephrine group, dobutamine was started at the same time as norepinephrine and titrated up to 20 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 to get a 15% increase in cardiac output.
Results: The dobutamine-norepinephrine group had greater cardiac output; superior mesenteric blood flow, oxygen delivery (Do2), and oxygen consumption ([latin capital V with dot above]o2); and lower blood lactate concentration and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Pco2) gap than the controls did. Cumulative urine output was significantly higher in the dobutamine-norepinephrine group than in the other groups. Survival time was significantly longer in the dobutamine-norepinephrine (24 +/- 4 h), dopamine- norepinephrine (24 +/- 6 h), and norepinephrine (20 +/- 1 h) groups than the control group (17 +/- 2 h;P < 0.05 vs. other groups), and significantly longer in the combined dopamine-norepinephrine and dobutamine-norepinephrine groups (24 +/- 5 h) than in the norepinephrine alone group (P < 0.05). Histologic examination of lung biopsies revealed less severe lesions in the dobutamine-norepinephrine group than in the control and norepinephrine alone groups. Anatomic alterations in the lung, liver, and small intestine were less severe in the dobutamine-norepinephrine group than in the other groups. 相似文献
