Abstract
BACKGROUND
Recently, balanced anesthesia (BA: halogenated volatile anesthetics + remifentanil) has been useful for abdominal surgery. The authors therefore performed a retrospective study about the difference in the dose of vasoactive drugs and rocuronium according to the general anesthesia type.
METHODS
BA was compared with inhalational anesthesia (IA: halogenated volatile anesthetics + N2O) and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA: propofol + remifentanil). The records of a total of 415 patients (IA : TIVA : BA = 126 : 157 : 132) who received open gastrectomy between 2004 to 2010 were analyzed. The types of vasoactive drugs and dosage as well as infusion time were calculated. The total amounts of vasoactive drugs were scored by two different methods. Infusion drugs were scored as 30 points, whereas bolus drugs were scored as 5 points. Drug score is the total sum of each score, where each drug score point split either into Plus or Minus. Plus means raising the blood pressure whereas Minus means the opposite. For rocuronium dosage, a total of 286 patients (IA : TIVA : BA = 89 : 78 : 119) who met the criteria were enrolled, and this formula was used (total rocuronium/weight/time, microg/kg/hr).
RESULTS
The BA group showed a lower (P = 0.01) Minus score (1.8 +/- 4.0) compared to the IA group (3.6 +/- 5.2). Less amount of rocuronium (P = 0.001) was administered in the BA (327 +/- 72 microg/kg/hr), compared to the IA (368 +/- 93 microg/kg/hr) and TIVA (356 +/- 81 microg/kg/hr).
CONCLUSIONS
BA seems to require less hypotensive agent and rocuronium compared with IA and TIVA for open gastrectomy. But, well-designed prospective studies are required.
