Diferentes frações inspiradas de oxigênio em coelhos hipovolêmicos anestesiados com propofol e submetidos à ventilação mecânica

Avaliaram-se os efeitos do fornecimento de diferentes frações inspiradas de oxigênio (FiO²) em coelhos hipovolêmicos, anestesiados com infusão contínua de propofol e mantidos em ventilação controlada sobre os parâmetros respiratórios, hemogasométricos e hemodinâmicos. Foram utilizados 50 coelhos (Nova Zelândia), pesando 3,5&plusmn;0,3kg, distribuídos em 5 grupos: G100 (FiO²=1), G80 (FiO²=0,8), G60 (FiO²=0,6), G40 (FiO²=0,4) e G21 (FiO²=0,21), os quais receberam xilazina (1mg kg-1) e cetamina (15mg kg-1) pela via intramuscular. Transcorridos 20 minutos, foi administrado propofol (8mg kg-1 bolus e 0,5mg kg-1 min-1) e rocurônio (0,6mg kg-1 bolus e 0,6mg kg-1 h-1). Iniciou-se então, a ventilação mecânica no modo pressão controlada. Após 30 minutos, os animais foram submetidos à hipovolemia aguda, retirando-se sangue arterial (12mL kg-1). Os parâmetros foram mensurados 30 minutos após a indução anestésica (M0) e a cada dez minutos depois da exsanguinação (M1- M7). As variáveis foram submetidas à análise de variância seguida pelo teste de Tukey (PThe effects of several inspired oxygen fractions (FiO²) on the blood gases, respiratory and hemodynamic parameters in mechanical ventilation hypovolemic rabbits anesthetized with continuous infusion of propofol were evaluated. A total of 50 rabbits (New Zealand), weighing 3.5&plusmn;0.3kg, were divided into five groups: G100 (FiO²=1), G80 (FiO²=0.8), G60 (FiO²=0.6), G40 (FiO²=0.4) and G21 (FiO²=0.21), which received xylazine (1mg kg-1) and ketamine (15mg kg-1) intramuscularly. Exactly after 20 minutes, it was administered propofol (8mg kg-1 bolus and 0.5mg kg-1 min-1) and rocuronium (0.6mg kg-1 bolus and 0.6mg kg-1 h-1. Then, the mechanical ventilation by controlled pressure mode began. After 30 minutes, the animals underwent acute hypovolemia, withdrawing arterial blood (12mL kg-1). The parameters were measured 30 minutes after anesthetic induction (M0) and every ten minutes after exsanguination (M1-M7). The variables were subjected to analysis of variance followed by Tukey test (P<0.05). The values of PaO², SaO², PAO², AaDO² decreased as lower were the FiO². After the induction of hypovolemia, the variables CO, MAP, PaO², SaO², Vt, AaDO² decreased significantly. No change was noted in the parameters HR and PaCO². The FiO² of 0.8 and 1.0 proved to be the most suitable for maintaining stability, better ventilation and adequate gas exchange

Intracranial variables in propofol or sevoflurane-anesthestized dogs subjected to subarachnoid administration of iohexol

The effects of subarachnoid administration of iohexol on intracranial hemodynamic in dogs anesthetized with propofol or sevoflurane were evaluated. Thirty adult animals (10.9±2.9kg) were distributed into two groups: PG, where propofol was used for induction (10±0.5mg/kg), followed by a continuous rate infusion at 0.55±0.15mg/kg/hour, and SG, where sevoflurane was administered for induction (2.5 MAC) and for anesthetic maintenance (1.5 MAC). A fiberoptic catheter was implanted on the right superficial cerebral cortex to monitor intracranial pressure (ICP). After 30 minutes, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was collected at the cisterna magna and iohexol was injected. The measurements were performed before CSF collection (TA), after the iohexol injection (T0), and at 10-minute intervals (T10 to T60). Intracranial pressure decreased at T0 in SG. Cerebral perfusion pressure at T0 was higher than at TA, T50 and T60 in PG, but in SG, the mean value at T0 was higher than the ones from T20 to T60. Mean arterial pressure at T0 was higher than at TA in PG, while in SG, the values from T20 to T60 were lower than at T0. The heart rate at T60 was lower than at T0 in PG. Cardiac output at TA was lower than at T60 in SG. The cerebrospinal fluid collection and administration of iohexol promoted decrease in intracranial pressure in sevolflurane-anesthetized dogs and increase in cerebral perfusion pressure in propofol-anesthetized dogs
