NCT01131741

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether changes in perfusion index can be used for detecting intravascular injection of an epinephrine in anesthetized adults and to compare its reliability with criteria using changes in heart rate, systolic blood pressure or T-wave amplitude.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • change of perfusion index from baseline

    we will observe the change of perfusion index from baseline during 5 min after injection of epinephrine containing test dose or saline. Patients whose perfusion index decrease more than 25% are defined as positive response.we will obtain the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value using perfusion index criteria to determine the reliability of perfusion index criteria.

    during 5 min after injection of epinephrine containing test dose or saline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • change of systolic blood pressure, heart rate, T-wave amplitude from baseline

    during 5 min after injection of epinephrine containing test dose or saline
