Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of Sevoflurane in preventing vasopressin-induced cardiovascular adverse reactions. Methods Sixty patients with uterine leiomyoma admitted in our hospital from January 2017 to May 2017 were randomly divided into a Sevoflurane group and a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) group, with 30 cases in each group. The two groups of patients underwent laparoscopic myomectomy; the patients in the Sevoflurane group had Sevoflurane inhalation and Remifentanil intravenous maintenance, the patients in the TIVA group received intravenous anesthesia with Propofol and Remifentanil intravenous maintenance. Heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide and cortisol level were measured in both groups before pituitrin injection into uterine muscle (T0), and 0.5 (T1), 1 (T2), 2 (T3), 3 (T4), 5 (T5), 10 (T6), 20 (T7) and 30 min (T8) after pituitrin injection. The recovery time and blood loss were compared between the two groups. Results In the Sevoflurane group HR at T1 was higher than that at T0 (P < 0.05). In the TIVA group HR at T5-T8 was lower than that at T0 (P < 0.05), while SBP and DBP at T5-T8 were higher than those at T0 (P < 0.05). HR of the Sevoflurane group at T8 was lower than that at T0 (P < 0.05) but higher than that of the TIVA group (P < 0.05). In the Sevoflurane group, SBP and DBP at T1 were lower than those at T0 (P < 0.05), while SBP and DBP at T7 and T8 were higher than those at T0 (P < 0.05). At T8, SBP and DBP in the Sevoflurane group were lower than those in the TIVA group (P < 0.05). In both groups the cortisol level at T3-T8 was higher than that T0. The serum cortisol level at T5-T8 in the Sevoflurane group was lower than that in the TIVA group (P < 0.05). The recovery time of the patients in the Sevoflurane group was significantly shorter than that in the TIVA group (P < 0.05). The amount of bleeding in the Sevoflurane group was significantly less than that in the TIVA group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Sevoflurane can effectively prevent vasopressin-induced cardiovascular adverse reactions. Compared with total intravenous anesthesia, Sevoflurane can significantly reduce the rise of blood pressure, reduce stress response, shorten the recovery time, and reduce the amount of bleeding, therefore it is worth clinical promotion.
