The requisite anesthetic concentration of sevoflurane required to obtain adequate sedation when sufficient analgesics are supplied has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to determine the requisite age-associated concentration of sevoflurane to obtain an adequate level of anesthesia during combined epidural-general anesthesia by bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.
Twenty-seven elective abdominal surgery patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-II) were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups of more or less than 60 years of age. We investigated the concentration of sevoflurane required to obtain an adequate sedation level during combined epidural-general anesthesia, maintaining the BIS value between 40 and 60.
The requisite sevoflurane concentration required to keep the BIS value at 40-60 was not stable during surgery. In the younger group, the maximum concentration of sevoflurane needed during surgery was 1.95 ± 0.14 (95% confidence interval: 1.87-2.10) vol%, while it was 1.54 ± 0.44 (95% confidence interval: 1.27-1.80) vol% in the older group (P < 0.01).
The requisite concentration of sevoflurane required with combined epidural-general anesthesia was 2.5 vol% for the younger group and 2.0 vol% for the older group as determined by BIS monitoring. We believe that these percentages are sufficient to avoid awareness during surgery with adequate analgesia.
在充分给予镇痛药物的情况下,获得充分镇静所需的七氟醚必需麻醉浓度尚未确定。本研究的目的是通过双谱指数(BIS)监测,确定在硬膜外-全身麻醉联合应用时获得足够麻醉深度所需的与年龄相关的七氟醚必需浓度。
选择 27 例择期腹部手术患者(美国麻醉医师协会身体状况 I-II 级)。患者分为年龄大于或小于 60 岁两组。我们研究了在维持 BIS 值在 40-60 之间的情况下,获得充分镇静水平所需的七氟醚浓度。
手术过程中,BIS 值在 40-60 之间所需的七氟醚浓度并不稳定。在年轻组中,手术过程中所需的七氟醚最大浓度为 1.95±0.14(95%置信区间:1.87-2.10)vol%,而在老年组中为 1.54±0.44(95%置信区间:1.27-1.80)vol%(P<0.01)。
通过 BIS 监测,年轻组与老年组在硬膜外-全身麻醉联合应用时所需的七氟醚浓度分别为 2.5 vol%和 2.0 vol%。我们认为这些百分比足以在充分镇痛的情况下避免术中知晓。
