ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: The anesthetic gas xenon is reported to preserve hemodynamic stability during general anesthesia. However, the effects of the gas during shock are unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Xe on hemodynamic stability and tissue perfusion in a canine model of hemorrhagic shock. METHOD: Twenty-six dogs, mechanically ventilated with a fraction of inspired oxygen of 21% and anesthetized with etomidate and vecuronium, were randomized into Xenon (Xe; n = 13) or Control (C; n = 13) groups. Following hemodynamic monitoring, a pressure-driven shock was induced to reach an arterial pressure of 40 mmHg. Hemodynamic data and blood samples were collected prior to bleeding, immediately after bleeding and 5, 20 and 40 minutes following shock. The Xe group was treated with 79% Xe diluted in ambient air, inhaled for 20 minutes after shock. RESULT: The mean bleeding volume was 44 mL.kg-1 in the C group and 40 mL.kg-1 in the Xe group. Hemorrhage promoted a decrease in both the cardiac index (p<0.001) and mean arterial pressure (p<0.001). These changes were associated with an increase in lactate levels and worsening of oxygen transport variables in both groups (p<0.05). Inhalation of xenon did not cause further worsening of hemodynamics or tissue perfusion markers. CONCLUSIONS: Xenon did not alter hemodynamic stability or tissue perfusion in an experimentally controlled hemorrhagic shock model. However, further studies are necessary to validate this drug in other contexts.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Hipoxemia grave é uma complicação freqüente no pós-operatório imediato de revascularização do miocárdio (RM), promovendo aumento da duração da ventilação mecânica, da incidência de infecções pulmonares, dos custos e da mortalidade. O objetivo desse estudo foi identificar fatores preditivos de hipoxemia grave em pacientes submetidos à RM. MÉTODO: Foram estudados 481 pacientes adultos submetidos à RM eletiva entre outubro de 2003 e março de 2004. Considerou-se hipoxemia grave uma relação PaO2/FiO2 < 150 na admissão à UTI. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio de teste de Qui-quadrado, t de Student ou Wilcoxon, seguida de análise multivariada por meio de regressão logística (RL) para variáveis com valor p < 0,25 na análise univariada. Considerou-se valor de p > 0,2 para exclusão da variável do modelo de RL e p < 0,1 como sendo significativo. RESULTADOS: O tempo para extubação dos pacientes com hipoxemia grave foi maior que nos outros pacientes (p < 0,001). Na análise multivariada, as variáveis idade (p = 0,081), peso (p = 0,001), necessidade de CEC prolongada (p = 0,033) e disfunção ventricular esquerda (p = 0,082) foram identificadas como preditores independentes para hipoxemia grave. CONCLUSÕES: Pacientes com idade e peso elevados, disfunção ventricular esquerda e necessidade de CEC apresentaram risco aumentado para hipoxemia grave após RM. Nesses pacientes, o uso de estratégias ventilatórias perioperatória com pressões positivas expiratórias mais elevadas e manobra de recrutamento alveolar devem ser consideradas tendo como objetivo a prevenção da disfunção pulmonar pós-operatória.


BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Severe hypoxemia is complication frequently seen in the immediate postoperative period of myocardial revascularization (MR), increasing the duration of mechanical ventilation, the incidence of pulmonary infections, hospital costs, and mortality. The objective of this study was to identify predictive factors of severe hypoxemia in patients undergoing MR. METHODS: Four-hundred and eighty-one adult patients undergoing elective MR between October 2003 and March 2004 were enrolled in this study. Severe hypoxemia was defined as PaO2/FiO2 < 150 upon admission to the ICU. The Chi-square test, Student's t or Wilcoxon test, followed by multivariate analysis and logistic regression (LR) for parameters with p < 0.25 in the univariate analysis, were used for the statistical analysis. A p > 0.2 was required to exclude the parameter from the LR model, and a p < 0.1 was considered significant. RESULTS: Time for extubation was greater in patients with severe hypoxemia (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis identified age (p = 0.081), weight (p = 0.001), need of prolonged CBP (p = 0.033), and left ventricular dysfunction (p = 0.082) as independent predictors of severe hypoxemia. CONCLUSIONS: Older and overweighted patients, those with left ventricular dysfunction, and those who needed CPB presented an increased risk of severe hypoxemia after MR. In those patients, the use of perioperative ventilatory strategies, with elevated positive expiratory pressures and alveolar recruitment maneuver should be considered to prevent postoperative pulmonary dysfunction.
