Analysis of influence factors of pharmacodynamics of propofol with target-controlled infusion during anesthetic recovery period.

To explore the pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of propofol during anesthetic recovery period with target-controlled infusion (TCI), and to identify the clinical variables related to the PD parameters. 20 patients scheduled for otolaryngology surgery were enrolled. After the surgery was finished, target effect site concentration was gradually decreased, blood samples were measured at 7 time points and the differences between the target and measured plasma concentration were compared. Observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S) and Narcotrend index (NI) were used as two PD indicators by fitting sigmoid Emax model. Correlations between PD parameter and clinical variables were evaluated. Performance of the TCI system showed a positive bias at the end of the anesthesia sedation period and a negative bias in the anesthetic recovery period. PD parameters (EC50, r) calculated with OAA/S and NI were significantly different, EC50 of OAA/S was lower than EC50 of NI (1.53 ± 0.70 vs. 2.16 ± 0.99 µg/mL), r of OAA/S was higher than r of NI (57.07 ± 56.39 vs. 4.35 ± 4.42). Propofol dosage and hemodynamic parameters were significantly correlated with EC50 (OAA/S), lean body weight and gender were significantly correlated with EC50 (NI). NI provided a more stable and adequate assessment of the depth of anesthesia than OAA/S, and the influence factors should be taken into account for precise dosing.
