Abstract
Unbound, rather than total, plasma concentrations may be related to the anaesthetic action of propofol. Therefore, we measured plasma concentrations of propofol and recorded Nb wave latencies of auditory evoked potentials (AEP) during continuous infusion of propofol in 15 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. After induction of anaesthesia with fentanyl, propofol was infused continuously at a rate of 10 mg kg-1 h-1 for 20 min, and then the rate was reduced to 3 mg kg-1 h-1. Administration of heparin before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) did not affect total or unbound propofol concentration. Initiation of CPB decreased mean total propofol concentration from 2.6 to 1.7 micrograms ml-1 (P < 0.01). Simultaneously, mean unbound propofol concentration remained at 0.06 micrograms ml-1 because of a slight increase in the mean free fraction of plasma propofol (from 2.3 to 3.5%; P > 0.05). During hypothermic CPB, mean total propofol concentration increased to concentrations measured before bypass (to 2.1 micrograms ml-1; P > 0.05 vs value before CPB) and the mean unbound propofol concentration was at its highest (0.07 microgram ml-1; P < 0.05 vs value before heparin). After CPB and administration of protamine...Continue Reading
