Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of etomidate target-controlled infusion (TCI) in combination with remifentanil in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-56 yr,with body mass index 18-27 kg/m2,undergoing elective gynecological lapa-roscopy,were equally and randomly divided into 2 groups:propofol TCI combined with remifentanil group (group PR) and etomidate TCI combined with remifentanil group (group ER).Anesthesia was induced with iv injection ofmidazolam 0.1 mg/kg,fentanyl 4 μg/kg and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg in both groups,and with TCI of propofolwith the target effect-site concentration (Ce) of 2.5 μg/ml in group PR or with TCI of etomidate (Ce 0.8 μg/ml) ingroup ER.The patients were mechanically ventilated after endotracheal intubation.Anesthesia was maintained withTCI of propofol (Ce 2.0-2.5 μg/ml) in group PR or with etomidate (Ce 0.5-0.7 μg/ml) in group ER,and with ivinfusion of remifentanil 0.1-0.2 μg· kg-1 · min-1 and intermittent iv boluses of cisatracurium 5 mg.BIS value was maintained at 40-60.Before anesthesia (baseline,T0),at the end of operation (T1),and at 24 and 48 h after operation (T2-3),venous blood samples were collected for determination of serum cortisol and aldosterone concentrations by radioimmunoassay.The emergence time,extubation time and requirement for vasoactive agents during operation were recorded.The development of injection pain and muscle twitch during induction of anesthesia,intraoperative awareness,and post-operative agitation,nausea and vomiting were also recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,the serum cortisol concentration was significantly decreased at T1 in group ER (P <0.05),while no significant change was found in serum aldosterone concentrations at each time point in the two groups (P > 0.05).Compared with group PR,the requirement for vasoactive agents and incidence of injection pain were significantly decreased,and the incidence of muscle twitch was increased (P < 0.05),and no significant change was found in the emergence time,extubation time,and incidences of post-operative agitation,nausea and vomiting in group ER (P > 0.05).Conclusion Compared with propofol TCI in combination with remifentanil,etomidate TCI combined with remifentanil is helpful in maintaining the hemodynamics stable and exerts transient inhibition of adrenocortical function with less injection pain in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy.
