Abstract:
:We have investigated the effects of propofol on beat-to-beat fluctuations in heart rate, arterial pressure (continuous arterial tonometry) and infrared finger plethysmography in 10 healthy male patients undergoing elective surgery. Administration of Diprivan (propofol 10 mg ml-1) 0.2 ml kg-1, followed by an infusion of 1 ml kg-1 h-1, was associated with transient tachycardia and a reduction in arterial pressure that preceded an increase in plethysmograph amplitude. The temporal sequence of these cardiovascular changes suggests that the initial tachycardia was not a reflex response to hypotension and that cutaneous changes in adrenergic tone were not responsible for the decrease in arterial pressure. The observation that the hypotensive action of propofol preceded the increase in plethysmographic amplitude suggests that multiple mechanisms were implicated in the hypotensive action of propofol and the relative importance of these mechanisms may vary according to the time of measurement. Compared with preanaesthetic control values, spectral analysis of heart rate variability, arterial pressure and plethysmograph variability showed reduction in variability and total spectral power. Spectral power in low (< 0.08 Hz) and mid (0.08-0.15 Hz) frequency bands decreased for each variable, while high (> 0.15 Hz) frequency "ventilatory" power decreased for heart rate and possibly diastolic pressure and increased for systolic pressure and plethysmograph variability.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
