Abstract

Anesthetic effect of propofol combined with remifentanil or sevoflurane intravenous anesthesia on patients undergoing radical gastrectomy was evaluated. The clinical data of 516 cancer patients who received radical gastrectomy in the First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University between January 2011 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. In total 203 patients with propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia were used as group A, and 313 patients with propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia as group B. The changes of respiration and circulation were analyzed at the time of entering the operating room (t0), the beginning of the operation (t1), 10 min after the beginning of the operation (t2) and 10 min after operation (t3). The onset time of anesthesia, the total time of operation, the time of waking up after operation and the time of leaving the operating room were analyzed. The effects of sedation and amnesia were evaluated, and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded. The inhibition of circulation and respiration was more obvious at t1 and t2 in group A when compared to group B (P<0.05), and the respiration and circulation in group B was more stable than that in group A (P<0.001). Patients' sedation scores in group A were lower than those in group B, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there were 56 (27.59%) patients and 30 (9.58%) patients with postoperative pain in group A and group B, respectively (P<0.001). The application of propofol combined with sevoflurane in the anesthesia of patients undergoing radical gastrectomy can make the respiration and circulation more stable, and reduce the incidence of postoperative pain and adverse reactions.

Introduction

Gastric cancer, which greatly endangers human health, is a disease with high mortality and poor prognosis (1,2). Studies have suggested that the morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer will continue to increase in the coming 2–3 decades in China, making it the number one killer threatening the health of the Chinese (3,4). Due to environmental pollution, food safety issues, unhealthy lifestyle and other reasons, the incidence of gastric cancer shows a trend of rejuvenation and normality. Most gastric cancer patients receive preoperative chemotherapy, but chemotherapy drugs damage their liver, heart and kidney (5,6). Therefore, gastric cancer patients suffer from large trauma, severe pain and a series of severe stress responses during surgical treatment, as well as more complications after operation (7). The induction period of anesthesia is the most easily fluctuating period of respiration and circulation during the whole anesthesia period, so it is beneficial to the recovery of patients to choose the appropriate anesthetic drugs, helping them pass the anesthesia period (810). Remifentanil, propofol and sevoflurane are new short-acting anesthetics characterized by rapid action and rapid recovery after anesthesia, suitable for surgical anesthesia in cancer patients (11). Sevoflurane is an inhaled anesthetic with muscle relaxant effect, so it can reduce the dosage of muscle relaxant in operation; propofol has a short-time effect on anesthesia, and patients recover quickly after operation (12). Remifentanil is an opioid receptor agonist with rapid onset and short duration of maintenance (13). Study of Recart et al (14) shows that the combined use of inhaled anesthetics and opiates can reduce the dosage of anesthetics, help to stabilize the vital signs of patients undergoing surgery and reduce the incidence of postoperative adverse reactions. In this study, a retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze patients undergoing radical gastrectomy who had received previous surgical treatment, and to observe the anesthetic effect of propofol combined with remifentanil and propofol combined with sevoflurane in cancer patients in order to provide a basis for the selection of clinical anesthetic methods for cancer patients.

Patients and methods

Study subjects

A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 516 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy in the First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University (Changchun, China) between January 2011 and December 2017. Of the patients 203 with propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia were group A, and 313 patients with propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia were group B according to the anesthetic methods accepted by patients.

The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Bethune Hospital of Jilin University (no. Jlsyd2011011). Signed informed consents were obtained from the patients or the guardians.

Inclusion criteria were: Patients whose ASA was grade I or grade II, with no obvious abnormality in the function of heart, lung, liver and kidney as well as respiratory system, no history of taking opioids and drug abuse, no allergy history, no contraindications for the use of anesthetics such as propofol and sevoflurane, no history of long-term use of analgesic and sedative were included. Under the guidelines for radical gastrectomy (15), surgical procedures of all patients were standardized. Exclusion criteria were: Patients with perioperative large blood transfusion or hemorrhage, patients with a history of endocrine and immune diseases, patients who received hormone therapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy before operation and patients with cognitive dysfunction and mental illness.

Anesthetic methods

The venous access was opened after the patient entered the operating room, and the vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and oxygen saturation were closely monitored. Patients in the two groups were given general anesthesia with tracheal intubation. The induction scheme was as follows: midazolam 0.05 mg/kg and fentanyl 3.0 µg/kg. During induction, the tidal volume was controlled at 8–10 ml/kg, the end expiratory CO2 pressure was 30–40 mmHg, the ventilation frequency was 12 min, and the breathing ratio was 1:2. When bispectral index (BIS) was <60, 0.10 mg/kg of vecuronium bromide was injected. Patients in group A were assisted to breathe after falling asleep, and trace intravenous infusion of propofol 7.5 mg/kg/h and remifentanil 0.08 µg/kg/min were used to maintain anesthesia. Drugs were withdrawn 5 min before the end of the operation. Patients in group B were assisted to breathe after falling asleep, and trace intravenous infusion of propofol 7.5 mg/kg/h and 2% of sevoflurane were used to maintain anesthesia. During the operation, the doses of propofol and remifentanil were adjusted according to patients' BIS and hemodynamic parameters. Patient's BIS ranged from 40 to 55, and the blood pressure fluctuated within 20% of the baseline value.

Observation indicators

The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) of patients in the two groups were observed at the time of entering the operating room (t0), the beginning of the operation (t1), 10 min after the beginning of the operation (t2) and 10 min after the operation (t3). The onset time of anesthesia, the total time of operation, the time of waking up after operation and the time of leaving the operating room in the two groups of patients were recorded.

Sedation and amnesia in patients 15 min after operation were judged according to the standard (16). Ramsay sedation scale was used to judge sedation effect. Patient is anxious and restless, 1 point; patient coordinate, has orientation and is quiet, 2 points; patient responds to instructions, 3 points; patient responds quickly to a tap on the glabella or loud auditory stimuli, with sleepiness, 4 points; patient responds slowly to a tap on the glabella or loud auditory stimuli, with sleepiness, 5 points; patient shows no response, with sleepiness, 6 points. One point indicates insufficient sedation; 2–4 points indicate appropriate sedation; 5–6 points indicate excessive sedation. Amnesia criteria: No amnesia, can recall the surgical process when awake; incomplete amnesia, can recall some with hints; complete amnesia, cannot recall. The occurrence of adverse reactions within 24 h after operation was recorded.

Statistical analysis

In this study, SPSS 19.00 (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) software was used to perform statistical analysis on the data, and Graph Pad 7 was used to draw illustrations. The count data were presented as (%), and were analyzed using Chi-square test (χ2). The grade data were presented as (%), and were analyzed using the rank sum test (Z). The K-S test was used to analyze the measurement data. Data conforming to the normal distribution were tested by t-test, and were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (mean ± SD). The independent sample t-test was performed in the comparison between groups, while the paired t-test was performed in the comparison within the group. The data that did not conform to the normal distribution were expressed by quartiles indicating P50 (P25-P75), and were analyzed using nonparametric test (U). Repeated measures ANOVA was performed to analyze changes in MAP, HR and RR during treatment. Bonferroni test was the post hoc test. Statistically significant difference was set at P<0.05.

Discussion

It has been pointed out by the World Health Organization (WHO) that the global gastric cancer cases are increasing year by year, by ~14 million new cases each year, and the number of gastric cancer in China ranks first in the world (17,18). Therefore, gastric cancer, which poses a serious threat to human health and social and economic development, is the major public health problem in China and the world (19,20). Because multiple tissues and organs are involved in radical gastrectomy, severe stress response will occur to cancer patients during operation, bringing some difficulties to anesthesia and postoperative management (21). At present, propofol combined with opiates or propofol combined with inhaled anesthetics are commonly used in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy. Propofol anesthesia has a rapid effect but no analgesic effect, so it needs to be used in combination with other analgesic drugs (5,22). Remifentanil is a short-acting opioid analgesic with rapid onset of anesthesia, good analgesic effect but short duration of action (13). Sevoflurane is a new type of inhaled anesthetic with the advantages of less stimulation, stable hemodynamics during operation and easy control of anesthetic depth (12). A study has shown that patients with propofol combined with opiates have less postoperative complications and faster spontaneous respiratory recovery (23).

In this study, a retrospective cohort study was performed to observe the anesthetic effect of propofol combined with remifentanil and propofol combined with sevoflurane in cancer patients. Scientific, standardized and strict internal quality control was carried out in the process of data processing and analysis, so the results have high accuracy and reliability. The results showed that the difference was smaller in the values of MAP, HR and RR at the four time points in group B; the values of MAP and HR decreased at t1 and t2, and the value of RR decreased at t1 and t2, but increased at t3 in group A when compared to t0; the values of MAP, HR and RR at t1 and t2 in group B were higher than those in group A, and the value of RR at t3 was lower than that in group A; it indicated that propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia had little effect on the respiration and circulation of patients. The mechanism of propofol and remifentanil was related to the stimulation of vagus nerve and the inhibition of sinus node function, so the monitoring of heart rate should be strengthened during anesthesia (20,24). Sevoflurane could cause peripheral vasodilation and myocardial inhibition in patients and was suitable for general anesthesia, because the time of waking up after operation in patients was short and the respiratory tract secretion was not increased (25).

It was found that patients' sedation score in group A was lower than that in group B, and the incidence of pain in group A was higher than that in group B, indicating that patients had a high acceptance of propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia and a low incidence of adverse reactions. Cancer patients were prone to restlessness and other adverse reactions in general anesthesia due to pain, so sedation and analgesia effect were the main indicators to evaluate the anesthetic effect (21,26). In addition to produce general anesthesia, sevoflurane also had vasodilator and analgesic effects, so it is more suitable for elderly patients and patients with cardiovascular insufficiency (27).

In conclusion, a retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze patients undergoing radical gastrectomy who had been anesthetized by propofol combined with sevoflurane and propofol combined with remifentanil. The results showed that patients undergoing radical gastrectomy with the combination of sevoflurane and propofol had stable respiration and circulation during anesthesia, quick recovery of early consciousness and low incidence of adverse reactions, having good sedation effects. Therefore, the combination of sevoflurane and propofol could be promoted in the clinical anesthesia of cancer patients.
