Anesthesia for elective cardioversion: a comparison of four anesthetic agents.

Abstract:

:Elective cardioversion is a short procedure performed under general anesthesia for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias. Selection of the anesthetic agent is important, because a short duration of action and hemodynamic stability are required. Forty-four patients scheduled for elective cardioversion in the coronary care unit were studied prospectively. All patients were randomly assigned, according to the last digit of their clinical record number, to receive one of the four anesthetic agents studied: group 1, 12 patients who received 3 mg/kg of sodium thiopental; group 2, 10 patients who received 0.15 mg/kg of etomidate; group 3, 12 patients who received 1.5 mg/kg of propofol; and group 4, 10 patients who received 0.15 mg/kg of midazolam. All patients also received 1.5 micrograms/kg of fentanyl 3 minutes before induction. All four drugs provided satisfactory anesthesia for cardioversion and there were no major complications. Midazolam produced a more prolonged duration of effect and more interindividual variability. Propofol was associated with hypotension and a higher incidence of apnea, and its duration of action was similar to that of etomidate or thiopental. Etomidate produced myoclonus and pain on injection; however, it was the only agent that did not decrease arterial blood pressure. Thiopental reduced blood pressure but otherwise seemed an appropriate anesthetic for this procedure. In conclusion, all four anesthetic agents were acceptable for cardioversion, although their pharmacological differences suggest specific indications for individual patients.
