NCT06331663

Brief Summary

Forty patients were enrolled, and all patients used total intravenous anesthesia (remifentanil-propofol based total intravenous analgesia) as anesthesia induction and maintenance. According to the preliminary data of this department, patients who underwent intracranial surgery for skull pin fixation used remifentanil 5.0-6.0 ng/ml, while the hemodynamics is relatively stable. Therefore, when this plan is implemented, the patient needs to be under the same depth of anesthesia (monitored by electroencephalography, maintaining a value of 40-60), first start with remifentanil 5.0 ng/ml, and use the up and down method as adjust 0.5 ng/ml of concentration of remifentanil each time. Inadequate antinociception (Surgical Pleth Index(SPI) \> 80 and hyperdynamics (the increased heart rate (HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP) above 20% of baseline or HR\>100bpm and arterial blood pressure(ABP)\>180/100mmHg)) is defined as failure, therefore we increase remifentanil by 0.5 ng/ml; otherwise, the setting is considered successful without abovementioned situations. Data collection: heart rate, mean blood pressure, Surgical Pleth Index, bispectral Index, pulse pressure variance, systolic pressure variance, concentrations of propofol and remifentanil before 2 mins, during, 5, and 15 mins of skull pin fixation were recorded and analyzed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 50% effect concentration of remifentanil

    50% effect concentration of remifentanil will be recorded at 2 mins before fixation, during fixation, 5 mins after fixation, and 15 mins after fixation.

    peri-fixation period

  • 90% effect concentration of remifentanil

    90% effect concentration of remifentanil will be recorded at 2 mins before fixation, during fixation, 5 mins after fixation, and 15 mins after fixation.

Neurosurgery with fixation

Drug: Remifentanil

Interventions

first start with remifentanil 5.0 ng/ml, and use the up and down method as adjust 0.5 ng/ml of concentration of remifentanil each time. Inadequate antinociception (Surgical Pleth Index(SPI) \> 80 and hyperdynamics (the increased heart rate (HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP) above 20% of baseline or HR\>100bpm and arterial blood pressure(ABP)\>180/100mmHg)) is defined as failure, therefore we increase remifentanil by 0.5 ng/ml; otherwise, the setting is considered successful without abovementioned situations.
