Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O sufentanil por via subaracnóidea promove analgesia do trabalho de parto comparável à peridural com anestésicos locais. As duas técnicas diminuem alguns parâmetros da resposta neuroendócrina à dor do parto, e ambas podem atenuar a liberação reflexa de ocitocina em animais. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os efeitos das duas técnicas nas concentrações plasmáticas de ocitocina (CPO) e cortisol (CPC) durante o trabalho de parto. MÉTODO: Trinta parturientes com 4 - 7 cm de dilatação foram arroladas neste estudo de forma aleatória e encoberta. No grupo S receberam sufentanil (10 mg) por via subaracnóidea e no grupo B receberam bupivacaína a 0,25% por via peridural. A analgesia foi medida usando Escala Analógica Visual e amostras sangüíneas de ocitocina e cortisol foram obtidas antes, 30 e 60 minutos após a administração das drogas. As CPO e CPC foram determinadas através da técnica de radioimunoensaio. RESULTADOS: A analgesia no grupo S foi mais intensa aos 30 minutos. As CPO e CPC nos dois grupos foram semelhantes antes da analgesia. No grupo S, houve diminuição significativa da CPO aos 60 minutos e CPC aos 30 e 60 minutos, enquanto no grupo B, CPO e CPC permaneceram estáveis durante todo o estudo. CONCLUSÕES: Nas condições deste estudo, a analgesia peridural com bupivacaína esteve associada à manutenção das concentrações plasmáticas de cortisol e ocitocina. Contrariamente, a analgesia promovida pelo sufentanil, por via subaracnóidea, foi mais intensa e produziu diminuição nas concentrações destes hormônios.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intrathecal sufentanil provides analgesia comparable to epidural local anesthetics for labor pain. Both techniques decrease some parameters of neuroendocrine response to labor pain and both may mitigate reflex oxytocin release in animals. This study aimed to compare the effect of both techniques on cortisol (CPC) and oxytocin (OPC) plasma concentrations in labor patients. METHODS: Participated in this randomized covered study 30 healthy parturients in spontaneous labor with 4-7 cm cervical dilatation. Group S patients received intrathecal sufentanil (10 mg) and group B received epidural 0.25% bupivacaine. Analgesia was assessed by a visual analogue scale and blood oxytocin and cortisol samples were collected before, 30 and 60 minutes after drug administration. Plasma cortisol and oxytocin concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Group S analgesia was more intense at 30 minutes. OPC and CPC before analgesia were similar for both groups. Group S showed a significant decrease in OPC at 60 minutes and in CPC at 30 and 60 minutes (p<0.05), while for Group B such values remained stable throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS: In the conditions of this study, epidural bupivacaine analgesia was associated to stable plasma cortisol and oxytocin concentrations. Conversely, intrathecal sufentanil promoted a more intense analgesia and decreased OPC and CPC.
