Applied research on propofol and midazolam anesthesia in the treatment of persistent state of intractable epilepsy in children / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol and midazolam anesthesia in the treatment of persistent state of intractable epilepsy in children.Methods A total of fifty children with intractable epilepsy were selected in Guangzhou Women and Children''s Medical Center from May 2011 to May 2016,and were divided into propofol group and midazolam group according to the method of anesthesia,each group 25 cases.In the treatment,continuous EEG and ECG monitoring were applied in both groups,and the changes in hemodynamics were recorded in order to compare the medication and treatment effects.Results After epilepsy was under control and drug was withdrawn,the heart rate (HR),systolic pressure (SBP),diastolic pressure (DBP) of the two groups were all reduced,lower than the data collected before the treatment,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);in the propofol group,HR and SBP after control were (93.21±17.61) time/min and (92.44±12.84) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa),lower than those of the midazolam group((109.84±18.41) time/min,(101.93±14.79) mmHg,t=3.264,2.423,P<0.05);the medication time,control time,intubation time of the propofol group were all shorter than those of the midazolam group ((13.21±2.14) h vs.(15.39±3.39) h,(3.47±0.89) min vs.(8.79±1.21) min,(2.03±0.79) d vs.(6.31±1.34) d,t=2.719,17.709,13.757,P<0.05);the total effective rate in the propofol group was significantly higher than that of the midazolam group (97.5%(39/40) vs.82.5%(33/40),χ2=5.357,P=0.021).Conclusion Propofol is effective in the treatment of persistent state of intractable epilepsy in children with good sedative effect,and can also reduce children''s resistance,therefore it''s worth promoting and applying into treatment.
