In intensive care patients, reduced gastrointestinal perfusion and motility result in sequestration of fluids and translocation of bacteria and endotoxins, and the immunological function of the gut is depressed. To prevent gastrointestinal organ failure, early restitution of enteral nutrition is a main goal in intensive care medicine. Thus, the influence of anaesthetics on gut function is of special importance in analgosedation of intensive care patients. Pharmacological data of common anaesthetics allow judgement of their global effects on the gut. Interactions with opioid receptors of the enteral nerve system and systemic effects on the vegetative nerve system are of special interest. The results of in vitro and clinical studies show profound negative effects of opiods on gastrointestinal motility. Piritramide seems to be excluded from this judgement, but further studies with equipotent analgetic doses, when compared with fentanyl, are necessary. Ketamine is an analgetic alternative without relevant negative effects on gastrointestinal motility. Among the sedative components of analgosedation, midazolam, gamma-hydroxy butyric acid and probably propofol are useful, whereas barbiturates seem to have negative effects. Epidural anaesthesia with local anaesthetics is of additional benefit.</p>","PeriodicalId":76993,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesiologie und Reanimation","volume":"24 4","pages":"88-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21390980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The randomized, controlled, prospective study presented here deals with drainage blood and washed autologous red blood cells (warbc) from 60 patients after hip endoprosthesis surgery. In a comparison between suction pump and redon bottle, the following parameters were studied: haematological-parameter (haemoglobin, haematocrit, erythrocyte count, leukocyte count, thrombocyte count, MCV, MCH, MCHC), vitality (osmotic fragility, 2,3-DPG) and haemolysis parameter (GOT, LDH, plasma haemoglobin, potassium). Control samples were taken immediately after operation: sample one from drainage blood before processing and sample two from warbc before retransfusion. There were no significant statistical differences between the groups. The osmotic fragility of the retransfused red blood cells was slightly above normal values, while the 2,3-DPG was normal. \"Old\" erythrocytes were haemolysed.

The present study was performed to discover how far it is possible to combine the benefits of sevoflurane (fast modulation of depth of anaesthesia, rapid emergence and recovery) and clonidine (reduction of perioperative stress response, prophylaxis of postoperative shivering, analgetic, antiemetic and anaesthetic-saving effect) without compromising the pharmacokinetic of sevoflurane. Twenty-eight patients were included in the present double-blinded prospective study. These patients were randomly treated with an infusion of 4 micrograms kg-1 clonidine (group 1) or a placebo (group 2) preoperatively. For anaesthesia a standardized procedure with fentanyl, propofol, rocuronium, N2O/O2/sevoflurane and an antiemetic prophylaxis with DHB was performed. The depth of anaesthesia was controlled by using spectral edge frequency (target--SEF90 = 10 Hz). Perioperative stress response was assessed by noting the effects on haemodynamic parameters (MAP, heart rate), and emergence and recovery were assessed by using established standardized tests. We confirmed the anaesthetic-saving property of clonidine only for fentanyl (-20%). On the other hand, there was no difference in MAC-sevoflurane values between the groups in keeping a steady target--SEF90 (1.62 +/- 0.26 versus 1.65 +/- 0.24 vol.%). The time until emergence and recovery was not significantly different. Even the occurrence of PONV, the VAS level or the postoperative analgesic requirement did not differ in the two groups. However, the incidence of postoperative shivering was significantly higher in the placebo group. The stress response to intubation or extubation was lower in the clonidine group. The haemodynamic parameters in the clonidine group were intraoperatively always below the baseline, in some cases by more than 20%, making therapy for hypotension or bradycardia frequently necessary. Postoperatively, the majority of the patients showed similar changes in these parameters, but did not reach the 20% mark. Preoperative clonidine comedication seems to complicate the management of anaesthesia. On the other hand, it is beneficial during the early postoperative period (e.g. stability in haemodynamics, prophylaxis of shivering) without compromising emergence and recovery. Our results show that therapy with clonidine should be better placed at the end of anaesthesia.</p>","PeriodicalId":76993,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesiologie und Reanimation","volume":"24 3","pages":"65-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21336294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data on the P(a-et)CO2 for procedures in which the V/Q-ratio remains constant are lacking. Repeated measurements of P(a-et)CO2 in twelve patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) and nine pulmonary healthy patients undergoing jaw surgery were performed. The P(a-et)CO2 in the pulmonary healthy subjects (5.96 +/- 1.68 mmHg) was lower than in the COLD patients (9.05 +/- 3.49 mmHg) (p < 0.01). A clinically significant P(a-et)CO2 > or = 8 mmHg was observed in 52% of the measurements in patients with COLD compared with 11% in the pulmonary healthy subjects (p < 0.01).

Hypoperfusion during shock, reperfusion injury of the splanchnic mucosa, alterations of the micro-ecology of the gut and immunologic and hormonal disturbances are important underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Various therapeutic concepts have been proposed such as improvement of splanchnic perfusion, nutritive and metabolic treatment by means of immunomodulating nutrients, parenteral substitution of glutamine, early onset of enteral nutrition, normalization of gut motility and selective decontamination of the gut. However, no clinical study to date could clearly demonstrate a key role of the gut in the pathogenesis of sepsis and multiple organ failure.

Therefore, a probable influence of the pharmacologic profile of the intraoperatively applied anaesthetics on the incidence of postoperative myocardial ischaemia is of importance for adapting therapy on ICU to minimize any ischaemic risk. After approval by the ethics committee, a prospective randomized study was performed in 40 male patients who underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The aim of the study was to compare balanced anaesthetic techniques performed with fentanyl and halothane, isoflurane and enflurane, respectively, with total intravenous anaesthesia performed with fentanyl and midazolam. An index to classify detection of ischaemia into three categories (ischaemia, probable ischaemia, no ischaemia) was established, based on measurements of myocardial lactate extraction and ST-segment analysis. Simultaneously, measurements of haemodynamic parameters and serum concentrations of catecholamines and intraoperatively applied anaesthetics were taken. In 8% of all measurements (30% of all patients) ischaemia was detected in the observation period and in 37% of all measurements (72.5% of all patients) probable ischaemia was detected.
