Dexamethasone as an adjuvant for peripheral nerve blockade: a randomised,triple-blinded crossover study in volunteers

Background

The efficacy of dexamethasone in extending the duration of local anaesthetic block is uncertain. In a randomised controlled triple blind crossover study in volunteers, we tested the hypothesis that neither i.v. nor perineurally administered dexamethasone prolongs the sensory block achieved with ropivacaine.

Inhaled fentanyl as a method of analgesia

A study was undertaken to investigate the use of fentanyl by aerosol for postoperative analgesia. Seven patients had placebo, six received fentanyl 100 micrograms and seven were given fentanyl 300 micrograms. A significant improvement in postoperative pain, as assessed by linear visual analogue scale, was achieved in the higher dose group, and in both fentanyl groups the time to alternative analgesia was significantly longer than in the control group. Serum fentanyl levels after inhalation of 100 micrograms reached a plateau around 0.04 ng/ml and after 300 micrograms at around 0.1 ng/ml after 15 minutes. Inhaled fentanyl may have a useful analgesic effect despite these low serum levels; this supports the hypothesis that the mode of analgesia from inhaled opioids may be different from that after other routes of administration. There were no adverse effects such as respiratory depression, bronchospasm, nausea or drowsiness.     

Cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen and relative CO2 reactivity during neurolept anaesthesia in patients subjected to craniotomy for supratentorial cerebral tumours

In 10 patients subjected to craniotomy for supratentorial cerebral tumours in neurolept anaesthesia, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) were measured twice peroperatively by a modification of the Kety & Schmidt technique, using 133Xe. The relative CO2 reactivity was assessed indirectly as the % change of the arteriovenous oxygen difference (AVDO2) per mm change in PaCO2. The patients were premedicated with diazepam 10-15 mg perorally. For induction, thiopentone 4-6 mg/kg, droperidol 0.2 mg/kg and fentanyl 5 micrograms/kg were used, and for maintenance N2O 67% and fentanyl 4 micrograms/kg/h. During the first flow measurement the median and range of CBF was 30 ml/100 g/min (range 17-45), of AVDO2 8.0 vol % (range 4.1-9.5), and of CMRO2 2.28 ml O2/100 g/min (range 1.57-2.84). During the second CBF study, AVDO2 increased to 9.3 vol % (range 3.4-11) (P less than 0.05), and CMRO2 increased to 2.51 ml O2/100 g/min (range 1.88-3.00) P less than 0.05, while CBF was unchanged. The CO2 reactivity was present in all studies, median 1.8%/mmHg (range 0.5-15.1). The correlation coefficients between jugular venous oxygen tension/saturation, respectively, and CBF were high at tensions/saturations exceeding 4.0 kPa and 55%, indicating that hyperperfusion is easily unveiled by venous samples from the jugular vein during this anaesthesia.     

Alfentanil or fentanyl during isoflurane–based anaesthesia for day–care knee arthroscopy?

Forty patients agreed to participate in a study to compare whether fentanyl or alfentanil used as analgesic is associated with quicker recovery following anaesthesia for outpatient arthroscopy procedure. Psychomotor tests including choice reaction time (CRT), perceptive accuracy test (PAT) and finger tapping test (FTT) were done prior to induction of anaesthesia with propofol (2–3 mg–kg^-1). Patients were then divided into two groups: Group F (fentanyl) received 0.1 mg fentanyl prior to start of surgery and thereafter 0.05 mg every 30 min during the procedure. Group A (alfentanil) received 0.5 mg alfentanil prior to the onset of surgery and 0.25 mg every 15 min thereafter. Anaesthesia was then maintained using isoflurane (0.5–2%) in oxygen and air (Fio₂ 0.33) during spontaneous respiration with a face mask in a Bain's system. Psychomotor tests were repeated every 45 min postoperatively. Clinical recovery, visual analogue pain intensity score (VAS) and time to discharge home were also assessed by a nurse blind to the method used. Patients in Group A returned to baseline values on the FTT after 90 min while those in Group F did not return to baseline values until 135 min after the end of the operation. Clinical recovery and time to discharge home ("home ready") were also significantly longer in Group F. There was no difference in recovery as seen in the PAT and CRT between the groups. Also, there was no difference in the incidence of side effects and the pain intensity (VAS) scores were similar in the two groups at all time periods. We conclude that recovery following alfentanil is quicker compared to fentanyl when anaesthesia is based on isoflurane.     

Effect of fentanyl on the circulatory responses to orotracheal fibreoptic intubation

The effectiveness of fentanyl in attenuating the pressor and heart rate response to orotracheal fibreoptic intubation under general anaesthesia was assessed in 60 healthy patients undergoing elective surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either fibreoptic intubation with or without fentanyl 6 micrograms.kg-1 or traditional Macintosh intubation with fentanyl 6 micrograms.kg-1. A standardised general anaesthetic was administered which included temazepam premedication, thiopentone, atracurium, oxygen, nitrous oxide and isoflurane. The pressor response to fibreoptic intubation was suppressed in those patients who received fentanyl and was similar to that seen in the Macintosh-fentanyl group of patients. The heart rate response to fibreoptic intubation was also significantly reduced in the patients who received fentanyl, but, in contrast, was still significantly greater than that in the Macintosh-fentanyl group. Fentanyl 6 micrograms.kg-1 appears to have a useful place in attenuating the cardiovascular effects of fibreoptic intubation under general anaesthesia.     

Influence of anaesthesia and muscle relaxation on intubating conditions and sympathoadrenal response to tracheal intubation

Background : The study aimed to assess the relative influence of anaesthesia and muscle relaxation on intubating conditions and the haemodynamic and catecholamine responses to tracheal intubation.
Methods : Sixty ASA 1 or 2 patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups (15 patients each) that differed in the depth of anaesthesia (thiopentone plus fentanyl 2.5 μg kg^-1 or thiopentone alone) and the degree of vecuronium–induced neuromuscular block (100% or _>: 65%) at intubation. Muscle relaxation was measured at 0.1 Hz by means of mechanomyography. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were measured before and after induction of anaesthesia, and 1 min and 5 min following intubation, while adrenaline (A) and noradrenaline concentrations (NA) were determined from arterial blood samples.
Results : Intubating conditions were improved primarily by providing complete muscle relaxation at the adductor pollicis muscle (P<0.001) and to a lesser extent by adding fentanyl to thiopentone (P=0.04). The response of HR and MAP to tracheal intubation was attenuated mainly by fentanyl (P<0.001). Complete muscle relaxation further diminished the response of MAP to intubation (P=0.03). Changes in A and NA were dependent on the depth of anaesthesia only (P =>0.01).
Conclusion : The results of the study demonstrate that the sympathoadrenal response to intubation is attenuated by adding fentanyl (2.5 kg^-1) to an induction regimen with thiopentone, whereas provision of complete muscle relaxation at the adductor pollicis muscle is necessary to attain smooth intubating conditions.
