Abstract
Background: Due to the associated hypertension and cardiovascular disease in patients with ESRD hemodynamic changes during operations are detrimental and may be life-threatening. Therefore, hemodynamic stability is an important criterion in selecting the anesthetic approach. Methods: 72 ASA class III/IV, ESRD Patients were studied in randomized double blind clinical trial. They were divided into two groups by four-block randomization. A group of patients were induced and maintained by etomidate and second of patients were induced by Na thiopental and maintained by isoflurane. Systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate were measured at interval of pre and post induction, postintubation, pre and post abdominal insufflation during and at the end of surgery and in recovery. The total BP modulators were recorded and postoperative nausea and vomiting was registered in the recovery. Data were analyzed by STATA version 12. Results: There was no significant difference in physical characteristics between two groups. There was no statistical difference between the groups in SBP and HR (P>0.05), although DBP fluctuation>20% at interval postinduction and prior to abdominal insufflation during surgery and at the end of surgery, was significantly higher in the isoflurane group of patients. (P=0.004, 0.001, 0.003 and 0.009, respectively). Also, the MAP fluctuation at interval of post induction, preinsufflation and at the end of surgery was significantly higher in isoflurane of patients. (P=0.04, 0.001, and 0.02, respectively). Conclusion: The group anesthetized with isoflurane had a higher hemodynamic fluctuation, compared to the group anesthetized with etomidate. As hemodynamic changes are critical in patients with ESRD, etomidate is a more appropriate anesthetic choice for implantation of peritoneal dialysis catheter by laparoscopic approach.
