چکیده

PURPOSE Using the conventional method of determining the end-tidal concentration of inhalational anaesthetic for tracheal intubation, a constant end-tidal anaesthetic concentration is maintained for at least 15 min. As sevoflurane has a low tissue/gas partition coefficient, it seems possible in paediatric patients to determine end-tidal concentrations for tracheal intubation more rapidly by using a high inspired concentration. We determined ED50 and ED95 of sevoflurane for tracheal intubation, the end-tidal concentrations that prevented 50% and 95% of patients from coughing and gross purposeful muscular movements after intubation. METHODS Twenty-nine, ASA 1, unpremedicated patients, aged two to eight years, were enrolled. Anaesthesia was induced using a mask and 5% sevoflurane, inspired, in oxygen. When end-tidal sevoflurane concentration attained a predetermined value, laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were performed using an uncuffed tracheal tube without neuromuscular relaxants or adjuvants. Each concentration at which laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were attempted was randomly predetermined (with 0.5% as a step size). When tracheal intubation was accomplished without gross purposeful muscular movements, it was considered a smooth tracheal intubation. RESULTS The ED50 end-tidal sevoflurane concentration for tracheal intubation was 3.10% (95% confidence limits: 2.43% and 3.78%), and the ED95 was 4.68% (95% confidence limits: 3.91% and 12.74%). The times to end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations of 3.0% and 4.5% were 149 +/- 15 sec (mean +/- SD) and 213 +/- 23 sec. CONCLUSION In paediatric patients, this method enabled determination of ED50 and ED95 end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations for tracheal intubation without obtaining a long stabilization period.

Additive contribution of nitrous oxide to sevoflurane minimum alveolar concentration for tracheal intubation in children.

BACKGROUND To study the interaction between nitrous oxide and sevoflurane during trachea intubation, the authors determined the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for tracheal intubation (MAC(TI)) with and without nitrous oxide in children. METHODS Seventy-two children aged 1-7 yr were assigned randomly to receive one of three end-tidal concentrations of nitrous oxide and one of fo...

Sevoflurane EC50 and EC95 values for laryngeal mask insertion and tracheal intubation in children.

The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a simple, easy to use and safe method for airway control in children. Its insertion needs less anaesthetic, and haemodynamic responses and postoperative sequelae are less than with laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. This study was designed to determine the end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane where 50% (EC50) and 95% (EC95) of the attempts to secure the ...

Optimal dose of sufentanil in children for intubation after sevoflurane induction without neuromuscular block.

BACKGROUND We studied 63 ASA I children (age 2-8 yr) to determine the sufentanil dose needed to facilitate intubation under excellent conditions after inhalation induction with various end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane without neuromuscular block. METHODS Subjects were allocated randomly to receive sevoflurane end-tidal concentrations (e'(sevo)) of 2.5%, 3%, or 3.5%. Anaesthesia was ind...

Appropriate sevoflurane concentration to stabilize autonomic activity during intubation with rocuronium in infants: a randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND In infants, sevoflurane is commonly used for induction of anesthesia, following which a muscle relaxant is administered to facilitate tracheal intubation. When rocuronium is used as the muscle relaxant, intubation may be performed before reaching an adequate depth of anesthesia because of its rapid onset. The purpose of this study was to investigate the optimal sevoflurane concentrat...
