Application of target-controlled infusion with propofol combined with remifentanyl in elderly patients with gastrointestinal endoscopy under bispectral index monitoring

Abstract

Objective To discuss the advantage of hispectral index(BIS) monitoring used in gastrointestinal endoscopy,and to observe elinical effects of target-controlled infusion(TCI) propofol combined with remifentanyl in elderly patients.Methods 120 patients aged from 65 to 78 with ASA physical status Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ were randomly divided into two groups,i,e.Group A (propofol with fentanyl ),Group B ( TCI propofol and remifentanyl with BIS).The amount of propofol was adjusted by consciousness and hemodynamics in Group A,while by BIS value in Group B.BIS was controlled at 55 ～60.The total amount of propofol and the time of wake-up,the incidence of complicatiors in each group were recorded.Results Compared with Group A,the changes of MAP and HR at T1 and T2 were smaller in Group B(P ＜ 0.05 ) ; Compared with Group A,the total amount of propofol and the time of wake-up were less in Group B ( P ＜ 0.05 ) ;Compared with Group A,the incidence of intraoperative respiratory depression and bradycardia were increased in Group B( P ＜ 0.05 ),there were no differences in the rest between the two groups.Conclusion Under BIS monitoring,TCl propofol and remifentanyl in elderly patients undewent gastrointestinal endoscopy may reduce propofol,and reach rapid recovery from anesthesia,but it needs additional management of respiration and circulation.
