[Effect of deliberate hypotension on renal functions during epidural block plus inhalation anesthesia: a comparison of prostaglandin E1 and trimethaphan].
To clarify the effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) or trimethaphan (TMP) on the kidney during deliberate hypotension induced with epidural block plus inhalation anesthesia, we compared renal functions and renal tubular injury between the patient with PGE1-induced hypotension (n = 22) and those with TMP-induced hypotension (n = 18) undergoing spherical acetabular osteotomy. Hypotension was maintained at 75-80 mmHg of the systolic radial artery pressure for two hours. The urine volume, creatinine clearance, fractional sodium excretion and free water clearance were maintained within normal limits and they were not different between the two groups. The mean NAG index increased significantly to normal upper limits during hypotension in the PGE1 group but did not increase in the TMP group. However, there was no difference in the NAG index between the two groups. The changes in serum ADH level were not different between the two groups perioperatively. These results suggest that renal functions are not influenced by controlled hypotension induced with PGE1 or TMP during epidural plus general anesthesia.
