Effect of sevoflurane on systemic and cerebral circulation, cerebral autoregulation and CO 2 reactivity. BMC Anesthesiol 2019; 19:109. [PMID: 31215448 PMCID: PMC6582518 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-019-0784-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2019] [Accepted: 06/11/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Sevoflurane is one of the most frequently used inhaled anesthetics for general anesthesia. Previously it has been reported that at clinically used doses of sevoflurane, cerebral vasoreactivity is maintained. However, there are no data how sevoflurane influences systemic and cerebral circulation in parallel. The aim of our study was to assess systemic and cerebral hemodynamic changes as well as cerebral CO2-reactivity during sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods Twenty nine patients undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled. Anesthesia was maintained with 1 MAC sevoflurane in 40% oxygen. Ventilatory settings (respiratory rate and tidal volume) were adjusted to reach and maintain 40, 35 and 30 mmHg EtCO2 for 5 min respectively. At the end of each period, transcranial Doppler and hemodynamic parameters using applanation tonometry were recorded. Results Systemic mean arterial pressure significantly decreased during anesthetic induction and remained unchanged during the entire study period. Central aortic and peripherial pulse pressure and augmentation index as markers of arterial stiffness significantly increased during the anesthetic induction and remained stable at the time points when target CO2 levels were reached. Both cerebral autoregulation and cerebral CO2-reactivity was maintained at 1 MAC sevoflurane. Discussion Cerebral autoregulation and CO2-reactivity is preserved at 1 MAC sevoflurane. Cerebrovascular effects of anesthetic compounds have to be assessed together with systemic circulatory effects. Trial registration The study was registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, identifier: NCT02054143, retrospectively registered. Date of registration: February 4, 2014.

J Diabetes Res 2016; 2016:9213034. [PMID: 26783539 PMCID: PMC4691468 DOI: 10.1155/2016/9213034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2015] [Revised: 07/30/2015] [Accepted: 08/26/2015] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The effect of sevoflurane postconditioning (sevo-postC) cardioprotection is compromised in diabetes which is associated with increased oxidative stress. We hypothesized that antioxidant N-Acetylcysteine may enhance or restore sevo-postC cardioprotection in diabetes. Control or streptozotocin-induced Type 1 diabetic rats were either untreated or treated with N-Acetylcysteine for four weeks starting at five weeks after streptozotocin injection and were subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), in the absence or presence of sevo-postC. Diabetes showed reduction of cardiac STAT3 activation (p-STAT3) and adiponectin with concomitantly increase of FoxO1 and CD36, which associated with reduced sevo-postC cardioprotection. N-Acetylcysteine and sevo-postC synergistically reduced the infarct size in diabetic groups. N-Acetylcysteine remarkably increased cardiac p-STAT3 which was further enhanced by sevo-postC. N-Acetylcysteine but not sevo-postC decreased myocardial FoxO1 while sevo-postC but not N-Acetylcysteine significantly increased myocardiac adiponectin in diabetic rats. It is concluded that late stage diabetic rats displayed reduction of cardiac p-STAT3, adiponectin deficiency, and increase of FoxO1 and CD36 expression, which may be responsible for the loss of myocardial responsiveness to sevo-postC cardioprotection. N-Acetylcysteine restored Sevo-postC cardioprotection in diabetes possibly through enhancing cardiac p-STAT3 and adiponectin and reducing Fox1 and CD36.

Anesthetic considerations in diabetic patients. Part II: intraoperative and postoperative management of patients with diabetes mellitus. J Anesth 2010; 24:748-56. [PMID: 20640452 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-010-0988-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2010] [Accepted: 06/24/2010] [Indexed: 01/04/2023]
Abstract
Some studies have reported that tight glycemic control in diabetic patients undergoing major surgery improves perioperative morbidity and mortality rates. Recently, however, large randomized studies have shown such control increases the mortality rate, since aggressive glycemic control induces more frequent incidences of hypoglycemia. Diabetic patients have cerebral complications during the perioperative period more often than their nondiabetic counterparts. Further, anesthetic agents have some effects on cerebral circulation and cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity. Hence, anesthesiologists should have adequate knowledge about anesthetic agents that maintain the integrity of the cerebral circulation. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased susceptibility to perioperative infections. Recent work confirmed that a combination of intravenous and subcutaneous insulin as a glucose management strategy had beneficial effects identical with intravenous insulin therapy alone on the reduction of infection rates during the postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study assesses the utility of a novel invasive device (O2C-, oxygen-to-see-device) for intraoperative measurement of the cerebral microcirculation. CO2 vasoreactivity during 2 different propofol concentrations was used to investigate changes of capillary venous cerebral blood flow (rvCBF), oxygen saturation (srvO2), and hemoglobin concentration (rvHb) during craniotomy. METHODS Thirty-four patients were randomly assigned to a low propofol (4 mg/kg/h) versus a high propofol (6 mg/kg/h) group. A fiberoptic probe was applied on the cortex next to the surgical site. Measurements were performed during lower (35 mm Hg) and higher (45 mm Hg) levels of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (paCO2). Arterio-venous difference in oxygen concentration (avDO2) and approximated cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (aCMRO2) were calculated for each paCO2 state. Linear models were fitted to test changes of end points in response to paCO2 and propofol concentration. RESULTS In comparison to the lower levels of paCO2, higher levels of paCO2 increased rvCBF (P<0.001), and srvO2 (P=0.002). RvHb remained unchanged during measurements (P=0.325). Calculated avDO2 decreased with increasing paCO2 (P<0.001), whereas aCMRO2 did not change during the study (P=0.999). Propofol concentration had no effect on measured or calculated end points. CONCLUSIONS Increase of rvCBF by paCO2 indicates a preserved CO2 reactivity independent of propofol anesthesia. The consecutive rise in srvO2 implies enhanced oxygen availability due to vasodilatation. Unchanged rvHb represents constant venous hemoglobin concentration. As expected, calculated avDO2 decreases with increased paCO2, whereas aCMRO2 remains unchanged. Despite the promising technical approach, the technology needs validation and further investigation for usage during neurosurgery.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the comparative effects of sevoflurane, isoflurane or propofol on cerebral blood flow velocity after tourniquet deflation during orthopaedic surgery. Thirty patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery were randomly divided into sevoflurane, isoflurane and propofol groups. Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane, isoflurane or propofol infusion in 33% oxygen and 67% nitrous oxide, in whatever concentrations were necessary to keep bispectral index values between 45 and 50. Ventilatory rate or tidal volume was adjusted to target PaCO2 of 35 mmHg. A 2.0 MHz transcranial Doppler probe was attached to the patient's head at the temporal window and mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery was continuously measured. The extremity was exsanguinated with an Esmarch bandage and the pneumatic tourniquet was inflated to a pressure of 450 mmHg. Arterial blood pressure, heart rate, velocity in the middle cerebral artery and arterial blood gas analysis were measured every minute for 10 minutes after release of the tourniquet in all three groups. Velocity in the middle cerebral artery in the three groups increased for five minutes after tourniquet deflation. Because of the different cerebrovascular effects of the three agents, the degree of increase in flow velocity in the isoflurane group was greater than in the other two groups, the change in flow velocity in the propofol group being the lowest (at three minutes after deflation 40 +/- 7%, 32 +/- 6% and 28 +/- 10% in the isoflurane, sevoflurane and propofol groups respectively, P < 0.05).

Abstract
The present study compared cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity in diabetic patients on different treatment modalities under sedative doses of propofol. Fifteen patients with diabetes mellitus (on three different antidiabetic treatment modalities) who required mechanical ventilation during intensive care therapy were studied, sedation during mechanical ventilation being maintained using propofol. As controls, 6 patients without diabetes were monitored. A 2.5-MHz pulsed transcranial Doppler probe was attached to the head of the patient at the right temporal window for continuous measurement of mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (Vmca). After establishing baseline values of Vmca and cardiovascular hemodynamics, end-tidal CO2 was decreased by increasing ventilatory frequency by 5-8 breaths.min(-1). Values for absolute and relative CO2 reactivity in insulintreated patients were lower than those in the other three groups (absolute CO2 reactivity [means +/- SD]: control, 3.1 +/- 0.6 cm.s(-1).mmHg(-1), diet, 3.8 +/- 1.4 cm.s(-1) x mmHg(-1); oral antidiabetic drug 3.2 +/- 0.9 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); insulin, 1.1 +/- 0.6 cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); P = 0.002).The present study shows that insulin-treated diabetic patients probably have lower cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity under propofol anesthesia than control patients or diabetics treated with dietary therapy or oral hypoglycemics.

Abstract
PURPOSE The use of volatile anesthetics is reportedly related to altered cerebrovascular carbon dioxide (CO2) reactivity. We examined the comparative effects of sevoflurane versus isoflurane on cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity in patients with previous stroke. METHODS Twenty-four patients with previous stroke and 20 patients without previous stroke (serving as controls) were studied. Anesthesia was maintained with either end-tidal 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) sevoflurane or 1.0 MAC isoflurane in 33% oxygen and 67% nitrous oxide. A 2.5-MHz pulsed transcranial Doppler (TCD) probe was attached to the patient's head at the right or left temporal window for continuous measurement of mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (Vmca). After establishing baseline values of Vmca and cardiovascular hemodynamics, we increased end-tidal CO2 by decreasing the ventilatory frequency by 2-5 breaths x min(-1). RESULTS We found that values for absolute and relative CO2 reactivity in the sevoflurane groups were lower than those in the isoflurane groups (absolute CO2 reactivity in the sevoflurane groups: control, 3.3 +/- 0.4*; previous stroke, 3.4 +/- 0.4*; absolute CO2 reactivity in the isoflurane groups: control, 4.2 +/- 0.3; previous stroke, 4.5 +/- 0.4, cm x s(-1) x mmHg(-1); *P < 0.05 compared with isoflurane group). There were no significant differences in the values for absolute and relative CO2 reactivity between the controls and the previous-stroke patients within each of the sevoflurane and isoflurane groups. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that, in patients with previous stroke, cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity under sevoflurane anesthesia was lower than that under isoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of sedative drugs is reportedly related to altered cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity. The present study examined the comparative effects of propofol vs dexmedetomidine on cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity in patients with septic shock. METHODS A total of 20 patients with septic shock who required mechanical ventilation were included in this study. Sedation during mechanical ventilation was maintained using either propofol or dexmedetomidine. A 2.5 MHz pulsed transcranial Doppler probe was attached to the head of the patient at the right temporal window for continuous measurement of mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (V(mca)). After establishing baseline values of V(mca) and cardiovascular haemodynamics, end-tidal CO2 was increased by decreasing ventilatory frequency by 5-8 bpm. RESULTS The absolute and relative CO2 reactivity values in patients with septic shock were lower for both propofol and dexmedetomidine than those for control groups, with significant differences between these values in the two septic shock groups (absolute CO2 reactivity in septic shock under propofol: 2.6 (sd 0.3) cm s(-1) mm Hg(-1); absolute CO2 reactivity in septic shock under dexmedetomidine: 2.0 (0.3) cm s(-1) mm Hg(-1); P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that cerebrovascular CO2 reactivity was lower under dexmedetomidine sedation than under propofol sedation during almost identical sedation in patients with septic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane has been shown to have different effects on cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity in comparison with isoflurane. In this study, the comparative effects of sevoflurane vs. isoflurane on cerebrovascular CO(2) reactivity were examined in patients with hypertension. METHODS Fifty patients, 30 hypertensive and 20 normotensive, were included in this study. The 30 hypertensive patients were divided into two groups: sevoflurane and isoflurane. Patients with controlled hypertension (n= 9 in each of the two groups) were those with normal blood pressure levels (systolic blood pressure below 139 mmHg). Patients with uncontrolled hypertension (n= 6 in each of the two groups) were those with high blood pressure levels despite medication (systolic blood pressure above 160 mmHg). Anesthesia was maintained with either 1.0 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane or 1.0 MAC of isoflurane in 33% oxygen and 67% nitrous oxide. A 2.5-MHz pulsed transcranial Doppler probe was attached to the patient's head at the right temporal window for continuous measurement of the mean blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (V(mca)). After establishing baseline values of V(mca) and cardiovascular hemodynamics, the end-tidal CO(2) was increased by decreasing the ventilatory frequency by 2-5 breaths per minute. RESULTS Values of the absolute and relative CO(2) reactivity in the sevoflurane groups were lower than those in the isoflurane groups. There were no significant intra-group differences in the absolute and relative CO(2) reactivity within the sevoflurane and isoflurane groups. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that, in hypertensive patients, the control of cerebral blood flow by altering the pressure of arterial CO(2) (P(a)co(2)) can be more effectively achieved during isoflurane rather than sevoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract
Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is widely used to investigate the effects of anesthetic drugs on cerebral blood flow. Its repeatability and non-invasivity makes it an ideal, first choice method. Anesthesia providers are required to be conscious of the cerebral hemodynamic effects of drugs given in their practice, especially in neurosurgery and in subjects with impaired brain functions. The purpose of this review is to present the basic concepts of the TCD technique and the effects on cerebral hemodynamics of the most popular anesthetic drugs evaluated using TCD ultrasonography.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to retrospectively examine whether sevoflurane anesthesia had any ameliorative effects on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. METHODS One hundred and nine patients underwent elective CABG surgery at our institution from May 1999 to May 2001. From May 1999 to August 2000, the main anesthetic regime used included a propofol infusion with no volatile anesthetic being administered during the surgery. From September 2000 to May 2001, the main anesthetic regime used was 1.5%-2.0% sevoflurane from the postinduction period until the end of the surgery. All patients underwent a battery of neurological and neuropsychological tests 1 day before and 6 months after the operation. RESULTS The use of sevoflurane did not have any significant effects on the postoperative levels of cognitive dysfunction. In contrast, multiple logistic analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR), 1.3; P = 0.047], diabetes mellitus (OR, 2.5; P = 0.03), and atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta (OR, 1.4; P = 0.047) appeared to be predictive factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction. CONCLUSION This retrospective study showed no relationship between postoperative cognitive dysfunction and the use of sevoflurane.

Abstract
In this article, we will provide a review of the 2006 literature of interest to those readers who provide perioperative care to patients with neurologic disease. This evaluation of the literature is not intended to be comprehensive, nor were systematic criteria used to include or exclude articles. Instead, the authors attempted to highlight those articles of greatest clinical relevance or those that provided unique insights into the physiology, pharmacology, and pathomechanisms of neurologic function for practicing clinicians and clinician-investigators. This article focuses on intracranial hemorrhage, anesthetic considerations in neurosurgical patients, cerebral hemodynamics, electrophysiologic monitoring, neuroprotection, and traumatic brain injury.
