The Relationship Between Arterial Stiffness and Hemodynamic Responses in Patients With Spinal Anesthesia

Aydin Adnan Menderes University124 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of pulse wave velocity, an indicator of arterial stiffness, in predicting hemodynamic changes in normotensive and hypertensive patients undergoing spinal anesthesia.

The prospective cross-sectional study will be carried out between September 1, 2021 and September 1, 2022 at Aydin Adnan Menderes University Faculty of Medicine. Patients aged eighteen and over who will undergo lower extremity surgery under spinal anesthesia will be included in the study. During the preoperative evaluation, the patient will be asked about age, weight, height, smoking and alcohol use history. At the same time, hypertension disease (if any, drugs used), diabetes (if any, drugs used), hyperlipidemia (if any, drugs used) and other diseases and drugs used will be recorded. Before surgery, hemodynamic data (systolic arterial blood pressure, diastolic arterial blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation), arterial stiffness measurement (pulse wave velocity) will be evaluated in the patient preparation room. Arterial stiffness measurement will be made with the oscillometric mobil-o-graph device in the anesthesia department. Hemodynamic data is recorded by the anesthesia device 1.,3.,5.,10.,20. minutes during surgery. Intraoperative hypotension is accepted as a 20% reduction in systolic arterial blood pressure evaluated before anesthesia. Using this data recorded on the monitor, reductions of 20% or more in systolic arterial blood pressure will be recorded as hypotension.

Interventions

PWVPROCEDURE

All cases were evaluated in the service before surgery. Pulse wave velocity measurement was performed with the MOBİL-O-GRAPH device, which is one of the noninvasive methods. Before measuring from patients; It was confirmed that there was no coffee/cigarette consumption within 30 minutes. After resting for 5 minutes in a quiet room, the cuff of the appropriate size was tied to the arm in such a way that it came to the brachial artery. The data recorded by the tonometer was transferred to the computer program. Care was taken that the patient did not move or talk during the measurement.
