Prophylaxis against the systemic hypotension induced by propofol during rapid-sequence intubation

Abstract: Rapid-sequence induction of anaesthesia is a challenging situation for the anaesthetist. The major considerations are rapid protection of the airway by a cuffed cndo-CAN J ANAESTH 1995 / 42:10 / pp 875-8

“…Interestingly, we were unable to demonstrate any medications that were associated with the development of PIHI, although we were again limited in our ability to do so because of the manner in which the data were reported in the studies. Even medications such as propofol, which is widely considered a prominent factor in hemodynamic instability when rapidly administered during EETI, 36,37 was not associated with PIHI, nor was etomidate associated with a reduced incidence of PIHI. The available data did not allow for analysis of dosing regimens or the impact of certain medication combinations.…”

“…They found that prophylactic IV ephedrine 0.2 mg/kg significantly attenuated, but did not abolish the decrease in blood pressure during propofol and fentanyl induction. Similarly, El-Beheiry et al [15] found that ephedrine 0.07 mg/kg given just before propofol induction and subsequent tracheal intubation maintained blood pressure at preinduction values for up to 6 min after induction. The reason that a smaller dose of ephedrine is effective depends on the sympathoadrenal-stimulating effect of intubation.…”

“…31 Other authors have shown that fluid pre-loading, pre-induction ephedrine sulphate and reduced infusion rates minimize propofol-induced hypotension. [32][33][34][35][36] In the studies reviewed, propofol's hypotensive effects were significant and were not overcome by the hypertensive responses related to cardioversion and intubation. In most cases, propofol caused more marked hypotension than thiopental 19,20,26,27 or etomidate.…”
