Comparison of alfentanil and lignocaine in blunting the pressor response during endotracheal intubationMoumakoe, Stella Josephine January 2007 (has links)
Theses (M Med.(Anaesthesiology))--University of Limpopo, 2007. / Comparison of Alfentanil and Lignocaine in blunting the pressor response during endotracheal intubation.
Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation produce marked increases in heart rate and blood pressure, which is potentially dangerous in certain patients. Various pharmacological agents have been used before laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in an attempt to attenuate the adrenergic response, but with varying degree of success.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy of lignocaine to alfentanil in blunting the pressor response to endotracheal intubation.
DESIGN
An open label comparative study.
POPULATION
Seventy eight ASA I and II adult patients between the ages of 18 and 65 years booked for elective surgery which requires endotracheal intubation.
SETTING
Dr George Mukhari Hospital, a tertiary level training hospital in Gauteng, South Africa.
2
METHOD
After obtaining ethical clearance the study was conducted on 78 ASA class I & II patients. The patients were randomly allocated to three groups according to their treatment regime. All patients were premedicated with diazepam 10mg 2 hours pre operatively. Anaesthesia was induced with Thiopentone 5mg/kg followed by Vecuronium 0,1mg/kg and maintained with Isoflurane in nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture.
Group A patients received lignocaine 1.5mg/kg iv 3 minutes before intubation. Group B – alfentanil 15ug/kg iv 1 minute before intubation and group C patients did not receive any treatment before intubation. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were recorded at the following intervals: pre- induction, pre- intubation 1, 2 and 3 minutes post intubation.
STATISTICS
Statistical analysis was done by Chi Square test followed by the normal approximation of the binomial distribution. Increase in blood pressure and heart rate in the three treatment groups were compared by analysis of variance, followed by pairwise comparisons. A p- value <_ 0,05 was considered significant.

MAIN RESULT
The three treatment groups did not differ in relation of Gender ratio, Mean weight and Mean age.
ALFENTANIL GROUP
There was a non significant increase in heart rate 1 minute post intubation (P= 0,7625), and there was no increase 2 and 3 minutes post intubation. A decrease in SBP, DBP and MAP was observed at 1, 2 and 3 minutes post intubation.
LIGNOCAINE GROUP
There was an increase in all parameters 1 minute post intubation which was comparable to the control group. A decrease in all parameters which differed from that of the control group except for heart rate, was observed at 2 and 3 minutes post intubation.
CONTROL GROUP
There was an increase in all parameters 1 minute post intubation. A decrease in all parameters 2 and 3 minutes post intubation remained above the baseline.
CONCLUSION
Alfentanil is superior to lignocaine in blunting the pressor response to endotracheal intubation.

The safety and efficacy of the propofol/ Alfentanil/ Ketamine-bolus technique in midazolam pre-medicated patients undergoing office based plastic or reconstructive surgeryVenter, J. C. January 2007 (has links)
Magister Scientiae - MSc / The purpose of this research project was to assess the safety and efficacy of a combination of drugs for conscious sedation in patients undergoing office-based plastic and reconstructive surgery. A pilot study was done to determine the safety of the co-administration of the drugs used in the sedation technique. / South Africa

Effects of anasthesia on esophageal sphinctersAhlstrand, Rebecca January 2011 (has links)
The esophageal sphincters constitute the anatomical protection against pulmonary aspiration. The aim of this thesis was to study the esophageal sphincters and how they are affected by different components of emergency anesthesia using high-resolution solid-state manometry. The effect of propofol (0.3 mg/kg) was studied in young and elderly volunteers. Propofol can be given as an anxiolytic agent for manometric studies of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) without affecting the results. However, propofol is not recommended for studies of the upper esophageal sphincter (UES). The effects of cricoid pressure (CP) and peripheral pain were studied in awake volunteers, with and without remifentanil infusion (5 ng/ml). Pain did not affect pressure in the LES, but CP or remifentanil induced a significant decrease in LES pressure. However, neither CP nor remifentanil affected the barrier pressure (LES-intra gastric pressure). When CP was applied during ongoing remifentanil infusion, no further decrease in LES pressure was measured. CP induced high pressures in the area of the UES independent of remifentanil infusion, indicating that CP is effective in preventing gastroesophageal regurgitation. Barrier pressure was also studied in anesthetized patients after rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) administration and no decrease was measured. In addition, alfentanil (20 μ/kg) added during anesthesia induction with propofol did not decrease the barrier pressure. In conclusion, CP seems to be effective in preventing regurgitation and does not affect barrier pressure. Muscle relaxation with rocuronium does not risk gastro-esophageal integrity. In addition, opioids can be integrated, even during emergency anethesia, without increasing the risk for pulmonary aspiration.
