Abstract

Pituitary-adrenal secretion during induced hypotension for middle-ear surgery has received little attention. Previous work failed to differentiate the effects of induced hypotension from surgical stimulation. We have undertaken a preliminary study examining the effects of hypotension, achieved with labetalol or isoflurane, on pituitary-adrenal secretion before, during and after middle-ear surgery. Twenty-four patients were allocated randomly to 3 groups. The control group were anaesthetised with isoflurane, and normotension maintained for 30 min before hypotension was induced with isoflurane and surgery started. In the labetalol group, this drug was given i.v. to obtain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 60 mm Hg for 30 min before surgery and hypotension maintained with labetalol during the operation. In the isoflurane group, hypotension was induced to a MAP of 60 mm Hg for 30 min before surgery and continued throughout the procedure. All 3 groups received metoprolol i.v. before hypotension was established. Blood samples were collected before induction of anaesthesia, during anaesthesia alone (normotensive or hypotensive), surgery with hypotension, and recovery. They were analysed for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), arginine...Continue Reading
