Abstract

Objective: We studied the efficacy and safety of remifentanil and alfentanil infusions in combination with inhalational anesthesia during abdominal surgery. Material and methods: Forty patients, ASA I-II, aged between 22-65 years were randomly allocated into two groups. Anesthesia was induced with remifentanil 1 µg/kg bolus, followed by 0.5 µg/kg/min infusion in the remifentanil group (Group R, n=20), alfentanil 25µg/kg bolus and 1 µg/kg/min infusion in the alfentanil group (Group A, n=20) and propofol was given at a rate of 10 mg/10 sec until loss of consciousness. Lungs were ventilated with 0.5% end-tidal isoflurane and 66% N2O/O2. Infusion rates were reduced by 50% 5 minutes after intubation. Remifentanil was discontinued at the end of operation and alfentanil 15 minutes before. Autonomic and somatic responses to surgery were controlled with bolus and infusion rate increases. Recovery was assessed with the time for spontaneous and adequate respiration, response to verbal command andAldrete scores.Results: Hemodynamic response to surgery, drug boluses and increases in infusion rates were found to be higher in Group A, while incidences of hypotension and bradycardia were higher in Group R. In Group R, adequate respiration, extubation and response to verbal command were shorter andAldrete scores were similar.Conclusion: Remifentanil, when administered at the same doses with this study, controlled intraoperative hemodynamic response better in comparison with alfentanil and was found to be more effective and safe because of its rapid recovery properties.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, abdominal cerrahi uygulanan hastalarda inhalasyon anestezisine eklenen remifentanil ve alfentanil infüzyonlarının etkinliği ve güvenirliği karşılaştırıldı. Yöntem ve bulgular: ASA I-II, 22-65 yaşları arasında 40 hasta rastgele iki gruba ayrılarak çalışmaya alındı. İndüksiyona, remifentanil grubunda (Grup R, n=20) 1 µg/kg bolus ve 0.5 µg/kg/dk remifentanil infüzyon dozu, alfentanil grubunda (Grup A, n=20) 25 µg/kg bolus ve 1 µg/kg/dk alfentanil infüzyon dozu ile başlandı ve her iki gruba bilinç kaybı sağlanıncaya kadar 10 mg/10 sn hızda propofol verildi. İdame %0.5 end tidal izofluran, %66 N2O/O2 ile sağlandı. Entübasyondan 5 dakika sonra ilaç infüzyon dozları %50 azaltıldı. Remifentanil operasyon bitiminde, alfentanil ise 15 dakika önce sonlandırıldı. Cerrahiye otonomik ve somatik yanıt, bolus ve infüzyon artışları ile kontrol edildi. Derlenme; spontan solunum, yeterli solunum, sözel emre yanıt zamanları ve Aldrete skorlaması ile değerlendirildi.Cerrahiye hemodinamik yanıt, ilaç bolus ve infüzyon artışları Grup A'da, hipotansiyon ve bradikardi, Grup R'de daha fazla bulundu. Yeterli solunum, ekstübasyon ve sözel emre yanıt verme zamanları Grup R'de daha kısa, Aldrete skorları ise benzer bulundu.Sonuç: Bu çalışmada kullanılan infüzyon dozlarında remifentanil, intraoperatif hemodinamik yanıtı daha iyi kontrol ederken, hızlı derlenme özelliği ile de alfentanilden daha etkin ve güvenli bulundu.
