Abstract

In this study, to investigate the effect on the per and postoperative respiratory complications of the administration of n-acetyl cystein as endotracheal during intubation to the smoker patients undergoing surgery was aimed. This study was planned as prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double blinded and 40 patients as two groups. The study included between 20 to 60 years of age, ASA I-II, patients who were satisfied the following conditions; minimum 10 cigarettes per day for minimum 5 years and need to take general anesthesia. Chest radiography, respiratory functions test and arterial blood pressure of the patients were analyzed preoperatively. After intubation, 2 ml % 0,9 NaCl (normal saline) was given to group P (n=20) and 2 ml n-acetyl cystein was given to group N (n=20) via inside the intubation tube and for rapid absorption high pressure ventilation (20cmH2O) was applied several times. ECG, non - invasive arterial pressure, heart beat rate, peripheric arterial oxigen saturation and entidal carbondioxid were monitored. Blood pressure at 1 and 24 hours and respiratory function test and chest radiography at 24 hours were repeated post operative. Pre-operative FEV1/FVC in n-asetilcystein group was found significantly lower than placebo group (p

Özet

Bu çalışmada, sigara içen ameliyat olacak hastalarda, entübasyon sırasında intratrakeal n-asetilsistein uygulanmasının per-postoperatif solunumsal komplikasyonlar üzerine etkisinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışma, prospektif, randomize, plasebo kontrollü ve çift kör olarak planlandı. 20–60 yaş aralığındaki, ASA I-II, en az 5 yıldır günde 10 adetten fazla sigara içen ve genel anestezi alacak 40 hasta iki gruba randomize edildi. Hastaların preoperatif akciğer grafisi, solunum fonksiyon testi ve arteriyel kan gazı incelendi. Entübasyon sonrası entübasyon tüpü içerisine plasebo grubuna (n=20) 2 ml % 0,9 NaCl (serum fizyolojik), n-asetilsistein grubuna (n=20) 2 ml n-asetilsistein verilerek ilaçların hızlı emilmesi için birkaç kez yüksek basınçlı (20 cmH2O) ventilasyon uygulandı. EKG, non-invazif arteriyel basınç, kalp atım hızı, SPO2 ve ETCO2 monitörize edildi. Postoperatif 1 ve 24. saat kan gazı ile 24. saat solunum fonksiyon testi ve akciğer grafisi tekrarlandı. Preoperatif FEV1/FVC n-asetilsistein grubunda anlamlı düşük bulundu (p
