Abstract

Background
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are major complications after general anesthesia. Although various pathways are involved in triggering PONV, hypotension plays an important role. We hypothesized that intraoperative hypotension during general anesthesia might be responsible for the incidence of PONV.

Methods
We retrospectively investigated patients who underwent thyroidectomy. The initial blood pressure measured before induction of anesthesia was used as the baseline value. The systolic blood pressure measured during the operation from the start to the end of anesthesia was extracted from anesthetic records. The time integral value when the measured systolic blood pressure fell below the baseline value was calculated as area under the curve (AUC) of s100%.

Results
There were 247 eligible cases. Eighty-eight patients (35.6%) had PONV. There was no difference in patient background between the patients with or without PONV. Univariate analysis showed that the total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) (p = 0.02), smoking history (p = 0.02), and AUC-s100% (p = 0.006) were significantly associated with PONV. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that TIVA (OR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.29–0.99), smoking history (OR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.37–0.96), and AUC-s100% (OR: 1.006, 95% CI: 1.0–1.01) were significantly associated with PONV.

Conclusion
Intraoperative hypotension evaluated by AUC-s100% was related to PONV in thyroidectomy.

Resumo

Introdução

Náuseas e vômitos pós-operatórios (NVPO) são complicações importantes após anestesia geral. Embora várias vias estejam envolvidas no desencadeamento de NVPO, a hipotensão desempenha um papel importante. Nossa hipótese é que a hipotensão intraoperatória durante a anestesia geral pode ser responsável pela incidência de NVPO.

Método

Nós investigamos retrospectivamente pacientes submetidos à tireoidectomia. A pressão arterial inicial medida antes da indução da anestesia foi utilizada como valor basal. A pressão arterial sistólica medida durante a operação, do início ao fim da anestesia, foi extraída dos registros anestésicos. O valor integral do tempo quando a pressão arterial sistólica medida caiu abaixo do valor basal foi calculado como área sob a curva (AUC) de s100%.

Resultados

Houve 247 casos elegíveis. Oitenta e oito pacientes (35,6%) apresentaram NVPO. Não houve diferença no histórico do paciente entre os pacientes com ou sem NVPO. A análise univariada mostrou que a anestesia intravenosa total (AIVT) (p = 0,02), o histórico de tabagismo (p = 0,02) e a AUC-s100% (p = 0,006) estiveram significativamente associados a NVPO. A análise de regressão logística múltipla revelou que AIVT (OR: 0,54, IC 95%: 0,29–0,99), histórico de tabagismo (OR: 0,60, IC 95%: 0,37–0,96) e AUC-s100% (OR: 1,006, IC 95% : 1,0–1,01) foram significativamente associados a NVPO.

Conclusão

A hipotensão intraoperatória avaliada pela AUC-s100% foi relacionada à NVPO na tireoidectomia.
