Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O gene do receptor beta-2 adrenérgico possui diversos polimorfismos. Estudos recentes vêm demonstrando sua importância clínica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência do polimorfismo Arg16Gli na incidência de hipotensão arterial e uso de efedrina em parturientes submetidas ao bloqueio subaracnoideo para cesariana. MÉTODO: Parturientes hígidas (ASA I e II) foram submetidas à anestesia raquidiana para realização de cesariana eletiva (n = 50). Efedrina foi administrada nos casos de hipotensão arterial. A incidência de hipotensão arterial e a dose requerida de efedrina para correção da pressão arterial foram comparadas entre os diferentes genótipos encontrados. RESULTADOS: O genótipo mais prevalente foi o Arg16Gli (60%, n = 30) seguido pelo Gli16Gli (26%, n = 13) e Arg16Arg (14%, n = 7). Não foram observadas diferenças entre as características básicas dos genótipos. Com relação ao genótipo Arg16Arg, o Gli16Gli apresentou aumento da razão de risco de hipotensão arterial (hazard ratio) de 3,95 vezes (IC 95% 0,86-18,11; p = 0,076), enquanto o Arg16Gli apresentou aumento de 4,83 vezes (IC 95% 1,13-20,50; p = 0,033). As parturientes com Arg16Arg precisaram, em média, de 6,4 ± 8,5 mg de efedrina para correção de hipotensão arterial, enquanto as do Arg16Gli precisaram de 19,5 ± 15,9 mg (p = 0,0445; IC 95% 0,3325-25,78) e as do tipo Gli16Gli, 19,2 ± 14,3 (p = 0,0445, IC 95% 0,3476-25,26). CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados mostraram que a variante genética Arg16Arg apresenta menor incidência de hipotensão arterial e que menores doses de efedrina foram necessárias para restabelecimento de normotensão arterial nas pacientes com esse perfil genético. Concluímos que o genótipo Arg16Arg confere maior estabilidade pressórica às parturientes submetidas à anestesia raquidiana para cesariana.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The beta-2 adrenergic receptor gene has several polymorphisms. Recent studies have demonstrated the clinical importance of the latter. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the Arg16Gli polymorphism on the incidence of arterial hypotension and ephedrine use in pregnant patients submitted to subarachnoid block for Cesarean section. METHOD: Healthy parturients (ASA I and II) were submitted to subarachnoid anesthesia for elective Cesarean section (n = 50). Ephedrine was administered in cases of arterial hypotension. The incidence of arterial hypotension and the required dose of ephedrine to correct the arterial pressure were compared between the different genotypes identified. RESULTS: The most prevalent genotype was Arg16Gli (60%, n = 30) followed by Gli16Gli (26%, n = 13) and Arg16Arg (14%, n = 7). No differences were observed regarding the basic characteristics of the genotypes. In comparison to the Arg16Arg genotype, the Gli16Gli presented a 3.95-fold increase in the hazard ratio of arterial hypotension (95%CI 0.86-18.11; p = 0.076), whereas the Arg16Gli presented a 4.83-fold increase (95%CI 1.13-20.50; p = 0.033). The parturients with the Arg16Arg needed, on average, 6.4 ± 8.5 mg of ephedrine to correct the arterial hypotension, whereas those with the Arg16Gli needed 19.5 ± 15.9 mg (p = 0.0445; 95%CI 0.3325-25.78) and the ones with the Gli16Gli genotype, 19.2 ± 14.3 (p = 0.0445, 95%CI 0.3476-25.26). CONCLUSIONS: The results show that the genetic variant Arg16Arg presents a lower incidence of arterial hypertension and that lower doses of ephedrine were necessary to reestablish normal arterial pressure in the patients with this genetic profile. We conclude that the Arg16Arg genotype confers better pressure stability to the parturients submitted to subarachnoid anesthesia for Cesarean section.
