Tamsett Z, Douglas N, King C, Johnston T, Bentley C, Hao B, Prinsloo D, Bourke EM. Does the choice of induction agent in rapid sequence intubation in the emergency department influence the incidence of post-induction hypotension? Emerg Med Australas 2024; 36:340-347. [PMID: 38018391 DOI: 10.1111/1742-6723.14355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the effects of different induction agents on the incidence of post-induction hypotension (PIH) and its associated interventions during rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in the ED. METHODS A single centre retrospective study of patients intubated between 2018 and 2021 was conducted in a regional Australian ED. The impact of induction agent choice, in addition to demographic and clinical factors on the incidence of PIH were determined using descriptive statistics and a multivariate analysis presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Ketamine and propofol, used either individually or in conjunction with fentanyl, were significantly associated with PIH (ketamine aOR 4.5, 95% CI 1.35-14.96; propofol aOR 4.88, 95% CI 1.46-16.29). Age >60 years was associated with a greater requirement for vasopressors (aOR 4.46, 95% CI 2.49-7.97) and a higher risk of mortality after RSI (aOR 4.2, 95% CI 1.87-9.40). Patients with a shock index >1.0 were significantly more likely to require vasopressors (aOR 5.13, 95% CI 2.35-11.2) and have a cardiac arrest within 15 min of RSI (aOR 3.56, 95% CI 1.07-11.8). CONCLUSIONS Exposure to both propofol and ketamine is significantly associated with PIH after RSI, alongside age and shock index. PIH is likely multifactorial in nature, and this data supports the sympatholytic effect of induction agents as the underlying cause of PIH rather than the choice of agent itself. Further prospective work including a randomised controlled trial between induction agents is justified to further clarify this important clinical question.

Abstract
Anesthesiologists are increasingly required to care for frail elderly patients. A detailed knowledge of the influence of age on the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of the anesthetic drugs is essential for optimal safety and care. For most of the anesthetic drugs, the elderly need lower doses to achieve the same plasma concentrations, and at any given plasma and effect-site concentration, they will have more profound clinical effects than younger patients. Caution is required, with close monitoring of clinical effects and active titration of dose administration to achieve the desired level of effect, ideally following the "start low, go slow" principle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol and remifentanil are frequently combined for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. Both propofol and remifentanil cause vasodilation and potentially reduce arterial BP. We aimed to develop a mechanism-based model that characterises the haemodynamic interactions between remifentanil and propofol. METHODS Data from two clinical trials in healthy volunteers were analysed using remifentanil-alone, propofol-alone, and combination groups. We evaluated remifentanil effects on haemodynamics using a previously developed mechanism-based haemodynamic model of propofol. The interaction between propofol and remifentanil was explored using the principles of the general pharmacodynamic interaction (GPDI) model. RESULTS Remifentanil alone increased the dissipation rate of total peripheral resistance by 50% at 3.0 ng ml-1. Additionally, the dissipation rates of HR and stroke volume were attenuated by 4.8% and 4.9% per 1 ng ml-1 increase in remifentanil concentration, respectively. The maximal effect of propofol alone in decreasing the production rate of total peripheral resistance was 78%, which decreased to 32% when combined with remifentanil 4 ng ml-1. The effects of remifentanil on HR and stroke volume were attenuated by propofol with maximum decreases of 11.9% and 21.2%, respectively. Goodness-of-fit plots and prediction-corrected visual predictive check plots showed good predictive performance of the models. CONCLUSIONS The structure of the previous mechanism-based haemodynamic model for propofol was able to describe the effects of remifentanil alone on haemodynamic variables. The GPDI model provided a good framework for characterising the pharmacodynamic interaction between remifentanil and propofol on haemodynamic properties.

Clinical effect of different doses of ciprofol for induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients: A randomized, controlled trial. Pharmacol Res Perspect 2023; 11:e01066. [PMID: 36811327 PMCID: PMC9944862 DOI: 10.1002/prp2.1066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Ciprofol is a newly developed intravenous anesthetic agent with improved pharmacokinetic properties. Compared to propofol, ciprofol exhibits stronger binding to the GABAA receptor and elicits a greater enhancement of GABAA receptor-mediated neuronal currents in vitro. The aims of the present clinical trials were to examine the safety and efficacy of different doses of ciprofol for induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients. A total of 105 elderly patients undergoing elective surgery were randomized, in a 1:1:1 ratio, to receive one of three sedation regimens: (1) the C1 group (0.2 mg/kg ciprofol), (2) the C2 group (0.3 mg/kg ciprofol), (3) the C3 group (0.4 mg/kg ciprofol). The primary outcome was the incidence of various adverse events, including hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, hypoxemia, and injection pain. The secondary outcomes of efficacy were the success rate of general anesthesia induction, the time to anesthesia induction, and the frequency of remedial sedation was recorded in each group. Adverse events occurred in 13 patients (37%) in group C1, 8 patients (22%) in group C2, and 24 patients (68%) in group C3. Compared with group C2, the total incidence of adverse events was significantly higher in group C1 and group C3 (p < .001).The success rate of general anesthesia induction in the three groups was 100%. Compared with group C1, the frequency of remedial sedation was significantly lower in group C2 and group C3. The outcomes demonstrated that ciprofol at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg has good safety and efficacy in the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients. Overall, ciprofol is a new and viable option for the induction of general anesthesia in elderly patients undergoing elective surgery.

Abstract
Background Patients scheduled for cardiac surgery are often accompanied by cardiac dysfunction and hemodynamic instability. However, the conventional induction strategy for anesthesia using high-dose intravenous anesthetics is often associated with persistent and recurrent hypotension after tracheal intubation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of topical airway anesthesia on the hemodynamic profile of patients undergoing cardiac surgery during the induction period. Methods This is a superiority, single-blind, randomized controlled study with two parallel groups. Participants scheduled to undergo elective cardiac surgery will be allocated into two blocks according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and then randomly assigned to the following two groups at a 1:1 ratio: the conventional induction group and the combined topical airway anesthesia induction group. The combined topical airway anesthesia induction strategy includes aerosol inhalation airway anesthesia, subglottic airway anesthesia, and general anesthesia induction using low-dose intravenous anesthetics. The primary outcome is the area under the curve (AUC) of blood pressure below baseline mean arterial pressure (MAP) from 3 to 15 min after endotracheal intubation. Secondary outcomes include the AUC above baseline MAP and below baseline MAP at other time points, the highest and lowest arterial blood pressure values during the induction period, type and dose of vasoactive drugs, incidence of arrhythmias, cardiac function, and the incidence of postoperative hoarseness and sore throat. Discussion The study will explore whether aerosol inhalation airway anesthesia and subglottic airway anesthesia could reduce the incidence and duration of hypotension during the induction period in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Clinical Trial Registration This trial was registered on www.ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05323786).

Abstract
Background: Etomidate is typically used as an induction agent in cardiac surgery because it has little impact on hemodynamics. It is a known suppressor of adrenocortical function and may increase the risk for post-operative infections, sepsis, and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether etomidate increases the risk of postoperative sepsis (primary outcome) and infections (secondary outcome) compared to propofol. Methods: This was a retrospective before–after trial (IRB EA1/143/20) performed at a tertiary medical center in Berlin, Germany, between 10/2012 and 01/2015. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery were investigated within two observation intervals, during which etomidate and propofol were the sole induction agents. Results: One-thousand, four-hundred, and sixty-two patients, and 622 matched pairs, after caliper propensity-score matching, were included in the final analysis. Sepsis rates did not differ in the matched cohort (etomidate: 11.5% vs. propofol: 8.2%, p = 0.052). Patients in the etomidate interval were more likely to develop hospital-acquired pneumonia (etomidate: 18.6% vs. propofol: 14.0%, p = 0.031). Conclusion: Our study showed that a single-dose of etomidate is not statistically associated with higher postoperative sepsis rates after cardiac surgery, but is associated with a higher incidence of hospital-acquired pneumonia. However, there is a notable trend towards a higher sepsis rate.

Abstract
Propofol, ketamine, and etomidate are common anesthetic agents for induction of anesthesia in the ICU. The choice between these agents is complex and may not depend solely upon severity of illness. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between the administration of propofol, ketamine, and etomidate and ICU, hospital mortality, and length of stay. DESIGN SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective single-center cohort study. ICUs in a tertiary medical center, between January 01, 2012, and December 31, 2017. Critically ill adult patients given a single IV anesthetic for intubation. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were ICU and hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were ICU- and hospital-free days through 28 days. An inverse probability of treatment weighed approach was used. The propensity score was estimated using a generalized logit model as a function of patient characteristics, admission source, ICU type, readmission status, length of ICU stays prior to intubation, and acute physiology score. Mortality outcomes were assessed with weighted logistic regression and -free days assessed by weighted linear regression with Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparisons. RESULTS Of 2,673 patients, 36% received propofol, 30% ketamine and 34% etomidate. Overall ICU and hospital mortality were 19% and 29%, respectively. Patients given ketamine had higher odds of ICU mortality (1.45; [95% CI, 1.07-1.94]; p = 0.015) and patients given etomidate had higher odds of ICU mortality (1.87; 1.40-2.49; p < 0.001), hospital mortality (1.43; 1.09-1.86; p = 0.009), and less ICU-free days (-2.10; -3.21 to -1.00; p < 0.001) than those given propofol. Patients given ketamine and etomidate had similar odds of hospital mortality (1.06; 0.80-1.42; p = 0.761) and similar hospital-free days (0.30; -0.81 to 1.40; p = 0.600). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Compared with ketamine and etomidate, propofol was associated with better outcome in critically ill patients undergoing anesthesia for intubation. Even after adjusting for severity of illness prior to intubation, residual confounders cannot be excluded.

Abstract
AbstractThere is an ongoing debate regarding the choice of ideal induction agent between propofol and etomidate for cardiac surgical patients. Etomidate appears to be better than propofol as the induction agent due to the superior hemodynamic stability. However, the adrenal suppression due to etomidate can pose challenges to the anesthesiologist in certain clinical situations.

A total of 267 patients were collected as research subjects. These patients underwent breast segmental surgery in Chun'an First People's Hospital from March 2015 to September 2018. Among them, 137 patients undergoing intravenous anesthesia were the research group, and 130 patients undergoing inhalation anesthesia were the control group. The following parameters were recorded: Clinical efficacy, postoperative adverse conditions, hemodynamic indicators including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR). Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to observe the analgesic effect of the two groups, the mental state of patients in the two groups was observed by mini-mental state examination (MMSE) scoring method, and systemic evaluation was made by oxidative stress (OS) reaction indicators. The MMSE scores of the two groups decreased one day after surgery, but the score in the research group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of SBP and DBP at T1 and T2 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the research group (P<0.05). HR of research group at T1 and T2 was lower than that at T0 and that at corresponding time of control group (P<0.05). The incidence rate of postoperative adverse reactions in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, intravenous anesthesia for breast segmental surgery can reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions after surgery, with complete sedation and analgesia. Patients were able to wake up quickly and stably after surgery, and their cognitive function and OS recovered rapidly. However, due to the great impact on hemodynamics during surgery, attention should be paid to maintain hemodynamic stability during surgery to avoid hypotension and bradycardia.

[PMID: 33384231 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2020.11.068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2020] [Revised: 11/28/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to systematically review the effects of etomidate (ETM) during anesthetic induction on patients undergoing cardiac surgery. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING Operating room. PARTICIPANTS Patients undergoing cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS ETM or control drugs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS PubMed, Cochrane Library, OVID, and EMBASE were searched through August 31, 2020. Primary outcomes included hemodynamic profiles and stress responses. Secondary outcomes included morbidity, mortality, and postoperative recovery. For continuous/dichotomous variables, treatment effects were calculated as weighted mean difference (WMD)/odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). A database search yielded 18 randomized controlled trials including 1,241 patients. The present meta-analysis demonstrated that ETM-anesthetized patients had lower heart rates (WMD, -3.31; 95% CI -5.43 to -1.19; p = 0.002), higher blood pressures (systolic blood pressure: WMD, 12.02; 95% CI 6.24 to 17.80; p < 0.0001; diastolic blood pressure: WMD, 5.23; 95% CI 2.39 to 8.08; p = 0.0003; mean arterial pressure (MAP): WMD, 8.64; 95% CI 5.85 to 11.43; p < 0.00001), less requirement for vasopressor (OR, 0.26; 95% CI 0.15 to 0.44; p < 0.00001), and more nitroglycerin usage (OR, 14.89; 95% CI 4.92 to 45.08; p < 0.00001) during anesthetic induction. Current meta-analysis also demonstrated that single-dose ETM lowered cortisol levels transiently and did not have a significant effect on endogenous norepinephrine and epinephrine levels and was not associated with increased postoperative inotrope and/or vasopressor requirement. Additionally, the meta-analysis suggested that ETM anesthesia was associated with neither increased mortality nor morbidity, except a higher incidence of transient adrenal insufficiency in ETM recipients. CONCLUSION The present meta-analysis suggested that single-dose ETM during anesthetic induction could be associated with more stable hemodynamics, transient and reversible lower cortisol levels, and a higher adrenal insufficiency incidence, but not worse outcomes in cardiac surgical patients.
