Modificaciones en la presión arterial y el pulso por ketamina, con y sin succinilcolina

Abstract

ResumenIntroducción: La ketamina es utilizada como anestésico general, de inducción y como analgésico. Objetivos: Evaluar los cambios en la presión arterial sistólica (PAS), diastólica (PAD) y frecuencia del pulso (FP) producidos por la ketamina, y la influencia de la succinilcolina. Diseño: Comparativo y de observación. Institución: Clínica Maison de Santé, Lima, Perú. Participantes: Pacientes que recibieron ketamina. Intervenciones: La ketamina fue empleada como anestésico general único y de inducción. Por cada modalidad, se consideró doce pacientes. Los doce primeros recibieron ketamina 2 mg/kg endovenosa, con medición de la PAS, PAD y FP antes y después de la anestesia. Los otros doce recibieron ketamina más succinilcolina, midiéndose los parámetros antes y después. Se comparó los cambios. Principales medidas de resultados: Variaciones en la PAS, PAD y FP. Resultados: En los primeros doce pacientes, la ketamina elevó la PAS 26 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, la PAD 19 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, y la FP 15 ± 3 por minuto, p < 0,001. En los otros doce, la ketamina más succinilcolina elevaron la PAS 28 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, la PAD 18 ± 2 mmHg, p < 0,001 y la FP 13 ± 1 por minuto, p < 0,001. Comparándolos porcentualmente, la succinilcolina no afectó esos cambios. Conclusiones: El incremento de la presión arterial y pulso producidos por la ketamina no fueron afectados por la succinilcolina. Palabras clave: Ketamina, succinilcolina, anestesia, presión arterial, pulso. Abstract Introduction: Ketamine is used as a general anesthetic as well as for anesthesia induction and analgesia. Objectives: To assess modifications in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) caused by ketamine, and if there is any influence of succinylcholine. Design: Comparative and observational study. Setting: Maison de Santé Clinic, Lima, Peru. Participants: Patients receiving ketamine. Interventions: Ketamine was used as a single drug for general anesthesia and for induction. Twelve patients were considered for each modality. The twelve first patients received ketamine, 2 mg/kg IV, and SBP, DBP and HR were measured before and after administering the drug. The second group received ketamine plus succinylcholine, and same parameters were measured. Main outcome measures: SBP, DBP, and HR variations. Results: Following ketamine injection in the first twelve patients there were elevations in SBP 26 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, DBP 19 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, and HR 15 ± 3 per minute, p < 0,001. In the second group after ketamine plus succinylcholine administration there were increases in SBP 28 ± 3 mmHg, p < 0,001, DBP 18 ± 2 mmHg, p < 0,001, and HR 13 ± 1 per minute, p < 0,001. There were no statistically significant differences when comparing both groups, i.e. succinlycholine did not have any influence in modifying the aforementioned parameters. Conclusions: Increases in blood pressure and heart rate induced by ketamine were not affected by succinylcholine.

Comparative efficacy of three anesthetic protocols on cardiac parameters during ovary-hysterectomy in bitches

“…The post-surgical phase showed a temporary elevation of HR in Protocol 1, probably due to the inhibition of sympathetic neuronal uptake of norepinephrine (Callegari et al, 2011). Protocols 2 and 3 provided stability in this parameter because of the rapid metabolism of the drugs used.…”

“…The heart rate alterations observed in the surgical phase on Protocol 1 were probably associated with ketamine dissociative effects between the thalamus, mesocortical system, and reticular bulbar activator, which triggers tachycardia, hypertension, auditory and somatosensory suppression, among other effects (Cruz et al, 2009;López & Sánchez, 2007). Besides, the diastolic blood pressure increase could also be due to the stimulation of sympathetic activity and the inhibition of neuronal catecholamine uptake by ketamine (Callegari et al, 2011).…”
