Brief Summary: Use of neuraxial agents in anesthesia for cardiac surgery is expanding We have used combined general-spinal anesthesia for cardiac surgery for 12 years We hypothesized that compared to general anesthesia the combined techniques would provide comparable intraoperative hemodynamics and improved postoperative analgesia This study subjected these techniques to a double-blind randomized trial
Detailed Description: Use of neuraxial agents in anesthesia for cardiac surgery is expanding We have used combined general-spinal anesthesia for cardiac surgery for 12 years We performed a trial in order to determine if our clinical impressions of the techniques would be confirmed We hypothesized that compared to general anesthesia the combined techniques would provide comparable intraoperative hemodynamics and improved postoperative analgesia This study subjected these techniques to a double-blind randomized trial

METHODS

After IRB approval 63 consenting patients undergoing non-emergent coronary artery bypass grafting CABG entered a randomized double-blind trial Patients received lorazepam 003 mgkg preoperatively and midazolam 003 mgkg during line insertion and induction Spinal procedures performed by an unblinded study anesthesiologist preceded general anesthesia which was induced with propofol and rocuronium and maintained with isoflurane through CPB and propofol thereafter All caregivers were blinded to group assignment Opioid and spinal management defined 3 groups

GA Sufentanil IV 3 μgkg induction 1 μgkg x 2 prn mock spinal SO Sufentanil IV 02 μgkg induction 01 μgkg x 2 prn Spinal sufentanil 50 μg morphine 05 mg hyperbaric SL Sufentanil IV 02 μgkg induction 01 μgkg x 2 prn Spinal sufentanil 25 μg morphine 05 mg bupivacaine 975 mg hyperbaric

When patients were stable in ICU propofol was stopped and an extubation protocol begun Patients received scheduled NSAID and prn opioid IV or PO The chi-square test and ANOVA using the Scheffe method for multiple comparisons were applied appropriately

The primary end points of the study were analgesic requirements visual analogue pain scores and duration of endotracheal intubation in the intensive care unit Secondary endpoints were intraoperative hemodynamic variables blood catecholamine and lactate levels anesthetic supplementation and vasoactive drug support
