[Isoflurane in pulmonary hypertension and failure of the right ventricle].
We evaluated the effects of the use of 1.2% isoflurane (group A) in a group of patients (n = 13) referred for mitral valve surgery, with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. We evaluated the hemodynamic status in baseline conditions, after isoflurane ++ administration and in relative hyper- and hypovolemia. We compared the results with those in 17 patients (group B) in identical clinical state who did not receive isoflurane during anesthesia. The evaluated parameters were: mixed venous Hb saturation (SvO2), heart rate (HR), pulmonary capillary pressure (PCP), central venous pressure (CVP), mean blood pressure (mBP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), cardiac index (CI), arteriolar pulmonary resistances (APR), peripheral vascular resistances (SVR), stroke index (SI), left ventricular work (LVW), right ventricular work (RVW), and O2 consumption (VO2). In group A, after isoflurane ++ administration, CI was 107.05% and 80% of baseline values in relative hypervolemia and hypovolemia, respectively. In group B (control), CI was 121.48% and 88.28% of basal values in relative hypervolemia and hypovolemia, respectively. In group A, SVR were 73.59% and 76.72% in hypervolemia and hypovolemia, respectively, while in group B they were 86.21% and 106.80%. In group A, APR were 90.85% and 89.96% in hypervolemia and hypovolemia, while they were 80.72% and 102.34% in group B. We found that isoflurane results in a greater peripheral than pulmonary vasodilation with a greater impairment in right ventricular function.
