Brief Summary

Effects of different doses of remifentanil on hemodynamic response to anesthesia induction in elderly patients ABSTRACT OBJECTİVE: The investigators compared the effects of three different doses of remifentanil infusion, which have been performed for the induction of anesthesia in elder patients, on cardiovascular response. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The present study was designed as a randomized, prospective and double-blind study. A total of 90 ASA I-II patients over the age of 65 years were enrolled and each group consisted of 30 subjects. The patients were randomly (by lot) assigned to receive one of the three doses of remifentanil infusion (0.1, 0.2 or 0.3 µg/kg/min) for two minutes. Subsequently, 0.5 mg/kg propofol was administered via IV route and, 0.5 mg/kg rocuronium was administered via IV route at the time eyelash reflex disappeared. Intubation was performed after two minutes. After recording baseline values of heart rate (HR), systolic arterial pressure (SBP), diastolic arterial pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), these values were recorded at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th minutes of induction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Measurement was performed using physiological parameters. After recording baseline values of systolic arterial pressure (SBP), these values were recorded at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th minutes of induction.

    Aim to identify the remifentanil dose that we can recommend. To determine hemodynamic changes likely to occur while using three different doses of remifentanil in the induction of anesthesia in the patients at and over the age of 65 years. Physiological parameters; measurement of systemic arterial pressure was done by automatic oscillometry (Hewlett-Packard HP M1008B).

    Five minutes

  • Measurement was performed using physiological parameters. After recording baseline values of diastolic arterial pressure (DBP), these values were recorded at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th minutes of induction.

Interventions

Intravenous (IV) administration of 0.5 mg Atropine prior to the induction, the patients randomly (by lot) received one of the three different doses (0.1 µg/kg/min) of remifentanil infusion for two minutes.After 2-minute remifentanil infusion, 0.5 mg/kg propofol was administered via IV route increasing the dose by 10 mg every 10 seconds; 0.5 mg/kg rocuronium was administered via IV route at the time of loss of eyelash reflex and consciousness. Two minutes later, intubation was performed. After recording the baseline values of heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, mean arterial pressure and diastolic arterial pressure, which were planned to be investigated, and administering atropine, a total of six measurements at one-minute intervals were performed until the time of intubation.
