Abstract:
Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine for epidural anesthesia in renal transplantion. Methods Eight patients undergoing renal transplantation (group R) and eight patients with normal renal function (group C) were included in this study. Nine patients were male and seven female. Age ranged from 27-52 years and body weight from 46-89 kg. Radial artery was cannulated under local anesthesia for blood pressure monitoring and blood sampling. An epidural catheter was placed at L1-2. An epidural bolus of 0.75% ropivacaine 16 ml was given. The level of sensory block was tested every 3 min within 30min after epidural ropivacaine and then every 15 min.The degree of motor block was assessed using Bromage score every minute (0 = the patient can move his/her lower limb freely, 3 = the patient can not flex his/her hip, knee and ankle) . Arterial blood samples were taken before, during and after surgery for determination of plasma concentration of Alphal acid glycoprotein (?1-AGP) using an ultrafiltration technique. Results Demographic data including gender, age and body weight were comparable between the two groups. The onset time of sensory block in group R (20.00?4.63)min was significantly shorter than that in group C (32.14?8.09) min, while duration of sensory block in group R (60.00?27.69) min was significantly tonger than that in group C (43.13 ? 27.64) min. Plasma concentration of ?1-AGP in group R was significantly higher than that in group C ( P
