Prolonged sedation of critically ill patients with midazolam or propofol

Abstract: In our population of critically ill patients sedated with midazolam or propofol over prolonged periods, midazolam and propofol were equally effective as sedative agents. However, despite remarkable differences in the cost of sedation with these two agents, the economic profile is more favorable for propofol than for midazolam due to a shorter weaning time associated with propofol administration.

“…(30) These fi ndings are further validated by data suggesting that even patients in persistent vegetative states and minimally conscious states manifest variations in consciousness levels when studied using positron emission tomography-computed tomography and electroencephalograms. (30,(37)(38)(39)(40) Attempting to establish an irreversible loss of consciousness, much less a stable level of unconsciousness required for the determination of brain death, becomes technically diffi cult. (24,(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43) This is particularly so when changes in pharmacokinetics and effi cacy of medications used in the treatment of conditions such as delirium, epilepsy, schizophrenia and pain can affect levels of sedations.…”

Therefore, there is no reason to overturn the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges' 2008 Code of Practice for the Diagnosis and Confi rmation of Death, which states that "the definition of death should be regarded as the irreversible loss of the capacity for consciousness, combined with irreversible loss of the capacity to breathe."…”

“…La anestesia intravenosa total posee algunas ventajas importantes en comparación con los anestésicos por inhalación, que incluyen la recuperación rápida de la conciencia con efectos residuales mínimos y una baja incidencia de náusea y vómito. En algunas operaciones pudiera ser la técnica más adecuada [4]. En un estudio que compara propofol administrado con dispositivo electrónico (grupo 1) otro con técnica manual (grupo 2) y otro con sevoflurane (grupo 3), se demostró que las tres técnicas tienen una rápida recuperación de la vigilia.…”

“…De otro lado, existen consideraciones y dudas importantes en la aplicación general de técnicas de TIVA porque existe la posibilidad de inconsciencia incompleta; la posibilidad de depresión respiratoria en el posoperatorio por los efectos persistentes de analgésicos administrados simultáneamen-te; la necesidad de contar con un sitio independiente de acceso IV; contar con bombas adecuadas de goteo y el hecho de que algunos investiga¬dores consideran que no es controlable la profundidad de la anestesia, como lo es con los agentes volátiles. De hecho, el concepto clásico de profundidad anestésica que es parte de la descripción de los planos de Guedel pierde su vigencia porque la anestesiología ya ha dejado de ser la administración de fármacos depresores del sistema nervioso central para convertirse en un procedimiento clínico complejo cuyos cuatro componentes tienen que garantizar en el paciente: analgesia, protección neurovegetativa, amnesia y relajación neuromuscular [2,4]. En este contexto, los esquemas de TIVA cumplen eficientemente con los rigores de la anestesia general moderna entendida como un proceso, no solamente cubriendo las necesidades de suprimir el dolor y proteger el sistema neurovegetativo, como condiciones insustituibles para un transoperatorio sin riesgos sino procurando la reversión inmediata de los compuestos utilizados en el proceso [5].…”

“…Во многих клиниках предпочитают использовать фентанил и пропофол для конт-роля ВЧД -они имеют короткий период действия, к тому же про-пофол обеспечивает быстрый эффект [62,63]. У пациентов при необходимос ти седации более 48 ч лучше использовать пропофол, а не лоразепам или мидазолам [64,65]. По сравнению с морфином пропофол обеспечивает более высокие показатели выживае-мости пациентов -соответс-твенно 46,7 и 81,8% [66].…”
