Pre-Op Evaluation of Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Diabetics Under Regional Anesthesia

This study aims to evaluate diabetic patients for cardiac autonomic neuropathy using a system analyzer. Results show significant correlations between autonomic dysfunction and hemodynamic instability during regional anesthesia, highlighting the need for preoperative assessment.

  1. Pre-operative evaluation for diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy and their behaviour during regional anesthesia Dr.s.sivakumar m.d anesthesiology(III year) Kilpauk medical college

  2. Guide: • Dr.P.S. SHANMUGAM, M.D., D.A • PROFESSOR & H.O.D • ANESTHESIOLOGY, • KILPAUK MEDICAL COLLEGE

  3. Aim of the study • preoperative evaluation for diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy using cardiac autonomic neuropathy system analyser and evaluating their hemodynamic stability during regional anesthesia

  4. Study design • Randomized prospective comparative study • Pre-study assessment done • consent obtained from all patient

  5. Patient selection inclusion criteria case: • age:40-60 years • sex :both male& female • DM > 3 years • PS IControl: • age:40-60 years • sex:both male &female • not a known diabetic • PS I

  6. Exclusion criteria • 1.age < 40& > 60 years • 2.PS II & III

  7. GROUPS • Group I :20 diabetic patient with autonomic neuropathy • Group II :10 diabetic patient without autonomic neuropathy • Group III:20 control pt , non- diabetic patient without autonomic neuropathy

  8. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED • CANS 504 – cardiac neuropathy system analyser • ECG moniter • Spyghmomanometer • Pulse oxymeter

  9. CANS 504 • tool to measure and diagnose autonomic dysfunction using ECG R-R interval and automatic BP measurement

  10. Normal and abnormal values in tests of autonomic function

  11. METHODOLOGY • 50 patient were randomized into three groups • Patients evaluated for cardiac autonomic dysfunction using CANS 504 - preoperatively • Subarachonoid block given at the level of L2- L3 ,volume 3 ml of 0.5% bupivacine ,level T4 –T5. • Intraoperative recording of B.P, pulse rate ,ECG rate and rhythm were done for each 5 min in first 30 min. and then for each 15 min till the end of surgery.

  12. METHODOLGY…. i.v Fluids and inj.ephedrine 6mg given if systolic B.P falls below 90 mmHg Inj. Atropine 0.6 mg given if P.R falls below 60

  15. RESULTS • During spinal anesthesia patients in group 1 experienced hypotensive reactions & bradycardia significantly more often(72%) than patients in group II (35%) and groupIII (15%) • In order to achieve stability in B.P the patients of group I had to be given vasoactive drugs much more often (55%) than patients of groupII(30%) and those of groupIII(15%)

  16. conclusion • We found a significant correlation between degree of autonomic dysfunction and largest drop in B.P & variability in H.R & cardiac rhythm • These results prove the atypical hemodynamic behaviour and extreme instability in B.P in diabetic autonomic neuropathy under spinal anesthesia

  17. Conclusion…., • Therefore we consider it to be very helpful to check the cardiovascular reflectory status of diabetics preoperatively.
