[Clinical study on total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl and ketamine--8. Hepatic and renal functions following prolonged surgical operation of over 10 hours].
Forty-four patients were studied to evaluate their postoperative hepatic and renal functions on 2nd to 4th and 7th to 10th postoperative days as judged by serum GOT, GPT, BUN and creatinine levels. The patients were divided into two groups. Twenty two patients received total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl and ketamine (FK group). The remaining 22 patients were given conventional enflurane-nitrous oxide anesthesia. The two groups were comparable concerning age, body weight, sex distribution, performed operation, operation time and anesthesia time. In the total intravenous group, fluid given and urine output were significantly larger than those of the enflurane group, and the amounts of blood loss and blood given tended to be greater but insignificantly in the total intravenous group than in the enflurane group. In both groups, postoperative S-GOT levels increased significantly and those of the enflurane group were significantly higher than those of the FK group on 2nd to 4th postoperative days. In the enflurane group, postoperative S-GPT levels were significantly higher, but those of the FK group were not. S-GPT on 2nd to 4th postoperative days of the enflurane group were significantly higher than those of the FK group. As to serum BUN and creatinine, no significant differences were observed between the two groups. These data suggest that FK is much more beneficial than enflurane anesthesia to protect hepatic functions, particularly when it is applied for prolonged surgical procedures.
