Patient-controlled sedation using propofol in elderly patients in day-case cataract surgery

Abstract: Patient-controlled sedation (PCS) with propofol has been used successfully as an adjunct to local anaesthetic procedures. We studied a group of elderly patients (mean age 75.4 yr) undergoing cataract surgery and attempted to increase patient acceptability and comfort of local anaesthesia. Propofol was self-administered in a dose of 0.25 mg kg-1 for patients more than 60 yr of age, with a lockout period of 3 min. A total of 14 of 20 patients used PCS; eight of 20 used the PCS only once and another six had three… Show more

“…Many drugs can be used for sedation during surgery under local anesthesia with monitored anesthesia care including opioids, benzodiazepines and propofol [5]. However, propofol may cause respiratory embarrassment [6]. Benzodiazepines may result in confusion and subsequent agitation, particularly in old age [7] and opioids are associated with increased risk of respiratory depression and oxygen desaturation [8].…”

“…Ancak bu ajanlardan propofol, fazla sedasyon ve oryantasyon bozukluğuna, benzodiazepinler konfüzyona neden olabilirken, opioid ajanlar solunum depresyonu ve oksijen desatürasyonuna yol açmaktadır. Ayrıca, geriatrik hastalarda anestetik ilaçlarla intraoperatif hemodinaminin stabilize edilmesi ve sedasyon derinliğinin sağlanması da daha zordur (13,14 Grup II midazolamın etkisi 3 dakika içinde başlarken, deksmedetomidinin etkisinin en yüksek noktaya ulaşması, infüzyon sırasında 10 dakika içinde olur (16). Bu da, çalışmamızda, deksmedetomidin uygulanan grupta 10. dakikadan itibaren BIS değerlerindeki anlamlı düşüşü açıklamaktadır.…”
