摘要

Background

Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation (LTI) after induction of general anesthesia often cause hypertension and tachycardia. Labetalol and nicardipine have been used to prevent and treat acute cardiovascular responses to LTI.

Objective

The goal of this study was to compare the preventive and therapeutic effects of labetalol 0.4 mg/kg IV and nicardipine 20 渭g/kg IV on hypertensive responses to LTI during induction of general anesthesia.

Methods

Patients undergoing general anesthesia were randomly allocated to 4 groups. In part I (prevention), 80 patients were randomized to receive either 0.4 mg/kg of labetalol (n = 40) or 20 渭g/kg of nicardipine (n = 40) 4 minutes before LTI. In part II (treatment), patients were randomized to receive 0.4 mg/kg of labetalol (n = 40) or 20 渭g/kg of nicardipine (n = 40) after LTI if hypertension occurred. The number of additional study drug doses required by patients with hypertension (parts I and II) and time to return to normotension (part II) were recorded. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were monitored, and rate-pressure product was calculated. Adverse events were also monitored.

Results

A total of 130 patients (72 patients in part I and 58 patients in part II) were included in the analysis. In parts I and II, the number of patients who required additional doses of the study drug because of persistent hypertension was lower in the nicardipine groups than in the labetalol groups (P < 0.05). Mean arterial pressure was lower and heart rate was significantly higher over time in the nicardipine groups compared with the labetalol groups (P < 0.05) in parts I and II. In part II, time to return to normotension was shorter in the nicardipine treatment group than in the labetalol treatment group (61 [21] vs 130 [46] seconds; P = 0.01). No statistical differences were observed in the incidence of adverse events except for tachycardia in part I (2 cases in the labetalol prevention group vs 18 cases in the nicardipine prevention group; P = 0.01).

Conclusions

Patients who received nicardipine were less likely to require additional doses for either the prevention or treatment of hypertensive responses to LTI and responded to the study drug more rapidly than patients who received labetalol for the treatment of hypertensive responses to LTI. However, labetalol was associated with a lower incidence of tachycardia and less of an increase in rate-pressure product when used for the prevention of hypertension during LTI. identifier: .
