EFFECTIVENESS OF PHENYLEPHRINE IN PREVENTING HYPOTENSION POST-INDUCTION ANESTHESIA WITH PROPOFOL IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING BURN NECROSECTOMY AND SKIN GRAFTING SURGERY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of phenylephrine in preventing hypotension when combined with propofol for induction of anesthesia in burn necrosectomy and skin grafting surgery. Methods: An intervention clinical study was conducted on 100 patients, aged 18 - 60, ASA I-II, with no medical history of cardiovascular disease, who were randomly divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (n = 50) was anesthetized with propofol combined with phenylephrine at a dose of 50mcg; group 2 (n = 50) was anesthetized with propofol combined with phenylephrine at a dose of 100mcg. Results: Patients in group 1 had lower systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure from the first to the fifth minutes following the induction of anesthesia (p < 0.05); group 1 had a hypotension rate of 48%, higher than that of group 2 (20%), with p < 0.05. Conclusion: Phenylephrine at doses of 100mcg combined with propofol has a good effect in preventing hypotension during the induction of anesthesia in patients undergoing burn necrosectomy and skin grafting surgery.
