EFFECT OF ANAESTHETIC AGENTS ON CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM www.anaesthesia.co.in anaesthesia.co.in@gmail.com
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM • Cardiac output (Stroke volume x Heart rate) • Systemic vascular resistance (B.P. / C.O.) • Coronary blood flow & autoregulation • Arrhythmogenicity
Direct myocardial depressant C.O. sympathetic N.S. activity peripheral vasoconstriction Minm change in BP Inhalational anaesthetics – N2O • catecholamines, plasma Nep, SVR • baroreceptor-mediated tachycardia
influx of Ca++ through slow channels binding of Ca++ by plasma membrane uptake & release of Ca++ by SR Inhalational anaesthetics Contractility by halothane BP, SV, RAP due to alterations in Ca++ metabolism
Inhalational anaesthetics Contractility • by isoflurane in isolated hearts C. O. maintained in vivo with minimal myocardial depression till 2 MAC ; SV, HR, Normal C. O. • Sevoflurane dose-dependent myocardial depression through direct effect on Ca++ channels • Desflurane dose-dependent myocardial depression
Sympathetic activity Direct effect on SAN Baroreceptor reflex Inhalational anaesthetics HR • Halothane HR • withIsoflurane > Desflurane (dose – dependent) • Unchanged with Sevoflurane
Inhalational anaesthetics Arrhythmogenicity Halothane Sensitizes heart to Epi automaticity of SAN Slows myocardial conduction
Inhalational anaesthetics Coronary steal phenomenon Coronary stenosis + coronary perfusion pressure Detrimental redistribution of coronary blood flow with Isoflurane Contractile dysfunction; more in region distal to a critical coronary stenosis Avoided if CPP restored
Inhalational anaesthetics • Protection against myocardial ischemia All except Des • Interaction with CCBs En > Halo > Iso • Rapid in concentration of Des & Iso HR & BP
Xenon • Good haemodynamic stability • Little change in BP • No change in LV function with 65% Xe (MAC – 71%) • Slight in HR
Intravenous Induction Agents- Thiopentone sodium • Venodilation preload • Direct myocardial depression at high doses • SVR relatively unaltered after normal induction dose in healthy adults • HR due to baroreceptor reflex • Myocardial O2 consumption
Intravenous Induction Agents- Propofol • BP • SVR - sympathetic activity + direct in vascular S.M. tone • / unchanged HR • coronary perfusion pressure • Unchanged global O2 supply-demand ratio
Intravenous Induction Agents - Etomidate • Unchanged myocardial function • Minm effect on haemodynamic stability • No effect on symp N. S. & baro-R fncn • coronary vascular resistance, coronary perfusion well-maintained myocardial O2 supply-demand ratio
Intravenous Induction Agents - Ketamine • HR, BP, CO, SVR, PVR • Can be attenuated by prior BDZs, other inhal or i/v anaes agents, adrenergic ATs • Centrally mediated symp tone, not dose dependent; overrides direct myocardial depressant effect except at high doses
Opioids HR • Fent analogs HR by vagomimetic action; severe bradycardia /asystole possible with Fent analogues; usually have favourable effect on myocardial O2 supply-demand ratio in CAD patients • Pethidine HR by anticholinergic action • Morphine /
Opioids • Histamine release HR, MBP; Peth > Morph (less with slower administration); negligible with Fent analogues • contractility of isolated cardiac muscle, but blood concn insufficient; Morph & Fent both cardiostable at clinical concns • Minor in BP with Fent analogs possibly by a centrally mediated in sympathetic tone
1 Potency Cardiovascular side effects Opioids Potency : Sufent > Fent > Morph > Peth C.V. S/Es : Peth > Morph > Fent > Sufent
Opioid AG - ATs • Nalbuphine, Pentazocine HR, BP, SVR, PAP, LVEDP • Butorphanol Small in PAP • Newer agents Minimal effects, except meptazinol, dezocine
Benzodiazepines • Mild, transient, dose-related fall in ABP, associated with catecholamine concn and sympathetic tone • Dangerously exaggerated fall in BP with concurrent hypovolemia, coadministered i/v or inhaln anaesthetics or opioids
Interactions • Opioids / BDZs + Ketamine sympathomimetic effects • Opioids + BDZs MBP due to SVR, probably due to sympathetic tone • Propofol / Opioids + NMBs fent analogs + vec bradycardia & asystole, no change in HR with pancuronium
Neuromuscular Blockers - Succinylcholine • Low doses negative inotropism & chronotropism • Large doses tachycardia • Arrhythmias
AUTONOMIC EFFECTS Not reduced by slower injection Dose – related Additive over time in case of divided doses Seen with d-TC, Pan, Roc HISTAMINE RELEASE Reduced by slower injection rate Can be prevented by A/Bs, NSAIDs Tachyphylaxis occurs Neuromuscular Blockers - Nondepolarizers
Neuromuscular Blockers - Nondepolarizers HISTAMINE RELEASE • Erythema of face, neck, torso; moderate BP, HR; rarely bronchospasm; degranulation of serosal mast cells in skin, conn. tissue & near blood vessels & nerves. • Mainly with mivacurium, atracurium, doxacurium, d-TC, metocurine
Local Anaesthetics • rate of depolarization in fast-conducting tissue of Purkinje bundle & ventricular myocardium ( fast Na+ conductance depresses rapid phase of depolarization) • contractility, BP, HR, asystole resistant to pacing
Local Anaesthetics • Prolonged PR-interval, duration of QRS - complex • spontaneous pacemaker activity in SAN sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest • Dose dependent (-)ive inotropic action on heart
Local Anaesthetics • Biphasic action on vascular smooth muscle (low concn – vasoconstriction; high concn – vasodilation) • Indirect action – due to autonomic blockade • CC / CNS ratio– Lignocaine > Etidocaine > Bupivacaine
LIGNOCAINE Recovery of Na+ channels from lignocaine is complete, even at high HRs BUPIVACAINE Depresses rapid phase of depolarization more Rate of recovery from use-dependent block slower Incomplete restoration of Na+ channels available between action potentials, esp at high HRs Anti - arrhythmic Arrhyth-mogenic Local Anaesthetics
Local Anaesthetics Bupivacaine : R- bupi more cardiotoxic. Prolonged PR-interval & QRS complex, predisposition to re-entrant arrhythmias, VT / VF / Heart blocks / CHF (due to loss of contractility) resistant to defibrillation
Cardiovascular stability • Careful selection of agent • Titrated doses *To patient & comorbid conditions * To surgery • Slow rate of administration • Knowledge of cardiovascular effects • Prompt recognition & appropriate treatment in case of problems
