Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of the domestic sevoflurane for transabdominal hysterectomy / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical efficacy of domestic sevoflurane by comparing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of domestic sevoflurane and an imported product.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighty patients undergoing general anesthesia for transabdominal hysterectomy were equally randomized into domestic sevoflurane group and imported sevoflurane group. The following data were recorded and compared vital signs; change of sevoflurane concentrations in the induction period and recovery period; the time when inhaled sevoflurane concentration reached half of the pre-set concentration of the vaporizer; the time when the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration reached half of the pre-set concentration of the vaporizer; the time when the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration reached half of inhaled sevoflurane concentration; the time of the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration reached 0. 8 MAC in the induction period; the recovery time; the extubation time; and time to recovery of consciousness.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The general conditions of the two groups were not significantly different. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters at the intra-operative time points as well as the minimal alveolar concentration, the inspired and end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, and the time to recovery of consciousness also showed no significant differences between the two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The domestic sevoflurane has similar pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics as the imported products. It can serve as a cost-effective product for transabdominal hysterectomy.</p>
