Filter by:The parturients may suffer from hypotension after spinal anesthesia and the incidence could be as high as 70-80% when pharmacological prophylaxis is not used. Acupuncture was reported to treat hypotension both in human and animal studies. Possible mechanisms include modulating cardiovascular and sympathetic system. In this prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial, we tend to investigate the effect of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on hypotension in parturients undergoing cesarean section.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) coload volumes on the 90% effective dose of norepinephrine infusion prophylaxis for hypotension during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.
Hemodynamic changes during induction of anesthesia may have adverse outcomes and should therefore be avoided. The decrease in blood pressure during induction of anesthesia with propofol is due to a decrease in systemic vascular resistance or cardiac output and may be increased by the concomitant use of other drugs such as remifentanil. Target controlled infusion (TCI) system aims to reach the theoretically targeted blood or brain concentration of anesthetic agents based on the patient's age, weight, and height, with computer-assisted algorithms. In manual anesthesia induction, anesthetic agents are administered at a fixed dose and rate adjusted according to the patient's weight, which may cause hypotension in patients with low cardiovascular performance. As target-controlled infusion (TCI) obviates the need to calculate the infusion rate manually, the use of TCI may provide a better hemodynamic profile during anesthesia induction This study was designed to test the hypothesis that propofol by TCI anesthesia induction is associated with a lower hypotension rate when compared with manual anesthesia induction
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different crystalloid coload volumes on the 90% effective dose of prophylactic norepinephrine infusions for preventing postspinal anesthesia hypotension during cesarean section.
This was a prospective observational study between January 2022 and June 2022. The investigators included parturients aged 18 to 45 years, consenting, classified ASA II and III, scheduled for elective or emergency cesarean section (Lucas III-IV). Baseline hemodynamic parameters were measured in 3 different positions: sitting, supine, and left lateral tilt 15°. The investigators defined Δ1 as the change from the sitting position to the supine position ad Δ2 as the change from the left lateral tilt 15° position to the supine position. Our primary endpoint was the incidence of hypotension defined as a decrease of more than 20% from baseline values. The investigators performed univariate and then multivariate analysis.
The underlying causative mechanism that leads to intraoperative hypotension (IOH) may vary depending on the stage of anesthesia and surgery, which determines different IOH types. Naturally, the incidence and severity of IOH types will differ, as will the incidence and severity of postoperative complications.
Hypotension is very common during and after anesthesia induction. A prolonged fasting period, a patient's underlying comorbidities, a sympathetic blockade by anesthetic agents, vasodilation, a reduction in preload, and cardiac contractility can cause post-induction hypotension.1,2 The relationship of even short-term hypotension with myocardial damage, renal injury, and stroke has been shown in many studies; therefore, it is very important to provide stable anesthesia induction.3 In current anesthesia practice, we can only intervene when hypotension occurs. If we can identify patients who may experience hypotension during anesthesia induction before it occurs, we can prevent possible postoperative organ dysfunctions by reducing the duration and depth of hypotension with prophylactic fluid and vasopressor administration. We hypothesized that arterial elastance (Ea) values before anesthesia induction could predict post-induction hypotension. To test our hypothesis, we aimed to investigate the reliability of the Ea value, which was monitored preoperatively using the pressure analytical recording method (PRAM) to predict the risk of hypotension that may occur after anesthesia induction.
The number of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery has been growing in recent years. Elderly patients often have a variety of underlying diseases, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc., which increase the risk. When the elderly receive general anesthesia, hypotension often occurs after anesthesia induction. Once hypotension occurs, it may lead to myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke and other serious complications. Therefore, in clinical anesthesia, a simple, quick and accurate prediction method is needed to evaluate and predict the risk of hypotension in elderly patients after induction, so that appropriate intervention measures can be taken in advance to reduce the incidence of hypotension in elderly patients after induction, thus reducing the occurrence of related complications and ensuring the safety of anesthesia and surgery.Carotid Artery Corrected Flow Time（FTc） is a recently developed volumetric predictor, which refers to the time between the the onset of systolic flow until the closure of the aortic valve. It is related to cardiac preload and can reflect cardiac output to a certain extent. It is considered as a reliable indicator for evaluating volume status and volumetric reactivity. Therefore, this study assessed the effect of FTc combined with perioperative fluid therapy on preventing hypotension after general anesthesia induction in elderly patients.
It is to predict postspinal hypotension that may develop in patients diagnosed with overactive bladder who will undergo elective cesarean section under spinal-epidural anesthesia.
Intraoperative hypotension is linked to increased incidence of perioperative adverse events such as myocardial and cerebrovascular infarction and acute kidney injury. Hypotension prediction index (HPI) is a novel machine learning guided algorithm which can predict hypotensive events using high fidelity analysis of pulse-wave contour. Goal of this trial is to determine whether use of HPI can reduce the number and duration of hypotensive events in patients undergoing major thoracic procedures.
