Gabapentin premedication decreases the hemodynamic response to skull pin insertion in patients undergoing craniotomy.

چکیده
BACKGROUND In patients undergoing craniotomy, skull pin insertion produces significant increases in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure. We investigated whether premedication with gabapentin would prevent or attenuate this increase. METHODS Forty-seven ASA I and II patients, 18 to 60 years, undergoing elective craniotomy for intracranial tumor surgery were recruited prospectively and randomly divided into 3 groups; L (oral placebo plus 2% lidocaine infiltration at pin sites; n=12), G (oral gabapentin 900 mg plus normal saline infiltration; n=21) and GL (oral gabapentin 900 mg plus 2% lidocaine infiltration; n=14). The oral medications were administered 2 hours before induction of anesthesia. Measurements were made at preinduction baseline, before skull pin insertion and at every 1 minute from pin insertion till end of 10 minutes. RESULTS Forty-three patients completed the study (L, n=11; G, n=20; GL, n=12). Premedication with gabapentin significantly attenuated the rise in systolic (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) after pin insertion when compared with placebo (for SBP, P<0.001 at 1 and 2 min and <0.05 at 3 to 5 min between L and G; P<0.001 at 1 to 4 min and <0.05 at 5 min between L and GL; for MAP, P<0.05 at 1 min, <0.001 at 2 min and <0.05 at 3 to 4 min between L and G; P<0.001 at 1 to 2 min and <0.05 at 3 to 5 min between L and GL). HR responses were also attenuated in patients premedicated with gabapentin; however, the responses were more variable in group G (P=0.03 between L and G at 4 min after pin insertion) as compared with group GL (P<0.05 at 1 min, <0.001 at 2 min and <0.05 at 3 to 10 min between L and GL). CONCLUSION In conclusion, 900 mg of gabapentin, administered orally 2 hours before induction of anesthesia along with lidocaine scalp infiltration abolished the hemodynamic response after skull pin insertion. Premedication with gabapentin alone significantly attenuated the SBP and MAP; however, HR responses were more variable. A larger trial is required to corroborate the findings of the study before clinical recommendations would be warranted.

BACKGROUND Use of Mayfield clamps is associated with potentially hazardous hemodynamic effects. Use of local anesthetic infiltration has yielded varying results in blunting of this response. The authors' objective was to study the effect of lidocaine with adrenaline infiltration at Mayfield pin sites on hemodynamic response in comparison with no intervention. METHODS This was a prospective co...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to compare hemodynamic responses to intubation and pin head-holder application in two groups of neurosurgical patients given oral clonidine (3 microg/kg) or oral temazepam (10-20 mg) 90 min before the induction of anesthesia. Fifty patients undergoing elective craniotomy were randomized to either group. Anesthesia was induced with i.v. propofol 1500 mg/h, fe...

Background: Tracheal intubation and direct laryngoscopy are powerful noxious stimuli that can elicit sever hemodynamic responses. These hemodynamic responses should be attenuated by appropriate use of premedication, smooth induction of anesthesia and rapid tracheal intubation. Gabapentin and pregabalin have been suggested in several studies to be efficient. Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug a...

Background The application of the skull-pin head-holder, used to stabilize the head during neurosurgical procedures, produces an intense nociceptive stimulus and results in abrupt increases in blood pressure and cerebral blood flow under general anesthesia. Different anesthetic and pharmacologic techniques, including local anesthetics, narcotics, antihypertensives, and deepening of anesthesia w...

Background: Tissue injuries may provoke neuro-hormonal response which in turn may lead to release of inflammatory cytokines. We hypothesize that block of afferent sensory pathways by infiltration of 0.5% bupivacaine in the scalp may decrease neuro-hormonal response in the neurosurgical patient. Methods: After obtaining informed consent, forty ASA physical statuses I, II, or III patients betwee...
