title: [POR 8 (ornipressin). Local vasoconstrictive effect and hemodynamic activity during surgery in ENT clinics].
abstract: POR 8 (ornipressin) at a concentration of 5 IU in 10 ml of 1% lidocaine was used as a local vasoconstrictor in 262 ENT operations. Anaesthesia was carried out with either halothane or enflurane, or with diazepam and fentanyl. The doses of POR 8 lay between 2.7 IU and 3.5 IU. Under inhalational anaesthesia there was a good vasoconstriction in 85% to 90%, and anaesthesia with diazepam-fentanyl in 60% to 83% of cases, depending on the site of operation. There should be a 10-20 minute interval between infiltration and the beginning of surgery. Under inhalational anaesthesia the systolic blood pressure fell by 10% after infiltration of POR 8, when the diastolic blood pressure rose by 6%. During diazepam-fentanyl anaesthesia the systolic blood pressure increased by 23%, the diastolic by 27%. POR 8 was not found to have an antidiuretic effect. There was no difference between the osmolality, sodium and potassium levels of 30 patients measured before infiltration and 24 hours later. Because of the minimal side effects of POR 8 on the cardiovascular system during inhalational anaesthesia we recommend the use of these substance as a local vasoconstrictor instead of epinephrine.
