[Clinical study of total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl and ketamine--effects of nicardipine, diltiazem and nifedipine on intraoperative hypertension].
Effects of Ca ion channel blockers, nicardipine, diltiazem and nifedipine on intraoperative hypertension were evaluated clinically in ninety surgical patients who received various surgical procedures under total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl and ketamine. When the systemic blood pressure exceeded 160 mmHg systolic at least for ten minutes, even though they received a total dose of 10-15 micrograms.kg-1 of fentanyl, one of the following three antihypertension drugs was administered:nicardipine 0.5-1.0 micrograms i.v., diltiazem 5-10 mg i.v. and nifedipine 5-10 mg intranasally. The effects were evaluated by measuring the systemic blood pressure, heart rate and rate pressure product, before the administration as well as 5, 15, 20 and 30 minutes after the administration. Following the injection of the drug a significant 10-20% reduction in the mean systemic blood pressure was observed in the nifedipine group, while less decrease was observed in the diltiazem and nicardipine groups. The mean heart rate in the nifedipine group increased slightly, while a slight decreases was observed in the other two groups. Therefore the rate pressure product was reduced significantly in three groups, but there was no significant difference among them. No adverse episodes such as ischemic changes on E.K.G. and deterioration of the cardiovascular system were encountered in any patients. We conclude that any of these drugs, particularly nifedipine would be appropriate to control hypertension during total intravenous anesthesia with droperidol, fentanyl and ketamine.
