Ventilatory Effect on Speed of Anesthesia Under Various Inhaled Anesthetics

Three groups of patients are going to have minor surgery under general anesthesia with inhaled anesthetics and different ventilatory setting (Tidal volume: 8, 10, 12 ml/kg, respiratory rate: 10/min each). Group A (Sevoflurane) will use sevoflurane, group B (Desflurane) will use desflurane, and group C (Isoflurane) will use isoflurane. It will be observed differences among the groups for ventilatory effects on speed of induction.

Duration of this randomised controlled trial will be about 3 months. Estimated sample size will be 36 patients(12 in each group).

About this study

No premedicant will be given. The anesthetic workstation and a circulatory circuit will be prefilled with 1.0 MAC of inhaled anesthetic that will be selected randomly.

  • Group A (n=12): Sevoflurane 2.0 vol%
  • Group B (n=12): Desflurane 6.0 vol%
  • Group C (n=12): Isoflurane 1.2 vol%

Each group has 3 subgroups according to the ventilatory setting that will also be randomly determined.

  • Hypoventilation: tidal volume 8 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min
  • Normoventilation: tidal volume 10 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min
  • Hyperventilation: tidal volume 12 ml/kg, respiratory rate 10 /min

Patients will be preoxygenated with 100% oxygen (5 L/min) for 5 minutes under pulse oximeter, EKG, and noninvasive blood pressure monitoring. Bispectral index (BIS) monitor will be applied.

The induction of general anesthesia will start with propofol (2 mg/kg), rocuronium (0.8 mg/kg) and remifentanil infusion (0.1 mcg/kg/min). The size of a tracheal tube will be 7.5 mm (ID) for male, 7.0 mm (ID) for female. After intubation, anesthesia workstation will be connected to the tracheal tube. Ventilation will start, and that point will be time 0. During 720 seconds, inspiratory (PIgas) and end-tidal concentration of inhaled anesthetics (ETgas), end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and BIS will be measured at time 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 ,150, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, and 720 seconds. Mean blood pressure and heart rate will also be recorded every 2 minutes. Fresh gas flow will be kept at 6 L/min with 100% oxygen.

The fraction of ETgas/PIgas will be analyzed with nonlinear mixed effects modeling.

Estimated sample size will be 36 patients (12 in each group, 4 in each ventilatory settings).

6.0 vol% prefilled in a corrugated circuit.

Other names: Suprane

Isoflurane

Primary outcomes

  1. End-tidal concentrations of isoflurane, sevoflurane and desflurane, and BIS values with hypo-, normo-, hyperventilation

    Time frame: at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360, 480, 600, 720 sec after volatile gas starts

    The inspiratory, and end-tidal concentrations of volatile anesthetics, partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide will be recorded from an S/5 Avance anesthetic workstation (Datex-Ohmeda) and an embedded monitor. BIS values are measured with a BIS monitor.
