ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe the intraoperative behavior and characteristics of recovery of patients undergoing video laparoscopic surgeries with remifentanyl.
Methods: Forty patients, ASA I and II were included in this prospective, descriptive study. The induction was with remifentanyl 1 µg/kg in two minutes, propofol 1-1.5 mg/kg and rocuronio 0.6 mg/kg. Sevoflurane was kept constant at 0.7 MAC and a remifentanyl infusion (no more that 0.25 µg/kg/min) was titrated to autonomic responses. Before starting the surgery the skin was infiltrated with lidocaine and before the end of the surgery 30 mg of ketorolac was applied. The infusion was suspended at the start of skin suture, and sevoflurane was suspended with the last suture.
Results: Variations in mean arterial pressure and hearth rate post intubation were minimal. Spontaneous breathing appeared 362 ± 163 seconds after closing the infusion of remifentanyl, and extubation was achieved at 545 ± 162 seconds. The mean dose of remifentanyl was 0.165 µg/kg/min. 72% of patients achieved pass on their own to transfer stretcher and in the post anesthetic unit 67.5% of the patients had a value of 5 in the OAAS scale. Twenty three patients required tramadol and 27.5% had nausea.
Conclusion: Remifentanyl in the doses used blocked the response to intubation, provide adequate intraoperative cardiovascular stability, with very fast emergence after discontinuation of the inhalational agents in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
