ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the efficacy of controlled hypotention with nicardipine and influences on endocrine system. Method: Twenty adult patient, ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ, scheduled for bone tumour operation, were selected. After the operation begining, Nicar of 0.01-0.02mg/kg was given at central venous bolus, was infused at 1-4?g?kg?min~(-1). Result: Hemodynamics was very stable during controlled hypotension, regulating frequency of Niear dosage was 1.5?0.7 time/h, reaching time of aim blood pressure was 47?31s, BP recovery time from discontinuating Nicar intusion to pre-hypotention level was 40?11min and no hypertention rebound occurred after discontinuation of Nicar. Fifteen min following controlled hypotension, plasma catecholamine (CA) level increased (P0.05). During mass bleeding and subsequent malignant hypotension, serious arrhythmia and oliguria did not occur. Conclusion: Controlled hypotension with Niear is rapid, stable and easy without hypertension rebound. The influences of Nicar on plasma CA are only very obvious. Nicar has considerable protective effects on heart and kidney during mass bleeding.
