Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A utilização de múltiplos de CAM, não comparáveis, do sevoflurano e do halotano, além da diferente contribuição do N2O na CAM destes dois agentes, em pacientes pediátricos, são os fatores citados para explicar igual velocidade de indução e de recuperação destes agentes com diferentes solubilidades sangüíneas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o tempo de indução através de múltiplos da CAM e a recuperação da anestesia mantida com concentração expirada fixa de 1 CAM de halotano ou sevoflurano, associados ou não ao N2O, em crianças sob anestesia peridural sacra. MÉTODO: Foram estudadas 63 crianças divididas em 4 grupos de acordo com o agente inalatório utilizado para indução e manutenção da anestesia: Grupo 1: Halotano; Grupo 2: Halotano + N2O; Grupo 3: Sevoflurano; Grupo 4: Sevoflurano + N2O. Todas foram submetidas à peridural sacra. A indução sob máscara foi iniciada com 1 CAM do halogenado e incrementos de 0,5 CAM a cada 3 movimentos respiratórios até atingir 3 CAM, no máximo. Foram analisados os seguintes parâmetros: freqüência cardíaca, pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica, fração expirada dos agentes inalatórios e os tempos de indução, de emergência e de resposta a comandos. RESULTADOS: Os tempos cirúrgicos não mostraram diferença significativa entre os grupos. Os tempos para perda do reflexo ciliar, para o término da indução, de emergência e orientação dos grupos 1 e 2 foram maiores que dos grupos 3 e 4, sem diferença entre os grupos 1 e 2 e entre os grupos 3 e 4. A freqüência cardíaca e as pressões arteriais sistólica e diastólica não diferiram entre os grupos, nos diferentes tempos considerados. CONCLUSÕES: Nesta faixa etária, com a técnica anestésica empregada, os tempos de indução e de recuperação da anestesia foram diferentes entre os grupos do halotano e do sevoflurano, mas não apresentaram diferença com a associação de óxido nitroso.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The use of different MAC multiples of sevoflurane and halothane, and the different effect of N2O on the MAC of these agents in children, are usually argued as the reason for the same induction and recovery times of these agents which have different blood solubilities. This study evaluated the induction time to different MAC multiples and the recovery time of anesthesia maintained with a fixed expired concentration (1 MAC) of halothane or sevoflurane, associated or not to N2O, in children under epidural caudal anesthesia. METHODS: Participated in this study 63 children allocated in 4 groups according to the anesthetic drug used. Group 1 = Halothane; Group 2 = Halothane plus N2O; Group 3 = Sevoflurane; Group 4 = Sevoflurane plus N2O. All children were submitted to caudal epidural blockade. Mask Induction was started with 1 MAC of halogenate followed by 0.5 MAC increments at every three respiratory movements until a maximum of 3 MAC was obtained. The following parameters were recorded: heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, inhaled agent expired fraction and times for induction, recovery and response to commands. RESULTS: Duration of surgery did not differ significantly among groups. The times to eyelash reflex loss, end of induction, emergence and oriented responses for groups 1 and 2 were longer than for groups 3 and 4 (p < 0.001) without significant differences between groups 1 and 2 and between groups 3 and 4. There were no differences in heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: In the age range studied and with the anesthetic technique used, induction and recovery times were different between the halothane and the sevoflurane group, but did not differ when nitrous oxide was added to the halogenate.
