Brief Summary    

  It was a parallel group, double blind, randomised controlled study where the goal was to compare the haemodynamic effects of Propofol and Etomidate as induction agents in lumbar spine surgeries. 70 patients of ASA Grade I & II of either sex, aged between 20 to 65 years undergoing elective lumbar spine surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups: Group P received BIS guided infusion propofol @ 0.5 mg/kg/min and group E received BIS guided infusion etomidate @0.05mg/kg/min. Heart rate(HR), oxygen saturation (Spo2), mean arterial pressure(MAP), cardiac output(CO), stroke volume variation(SVV) were measured at preoperative baseline level, before giving premedication, at induction, intubation, then at 1 min, 3mins & 5 mins following intubation.

 

    Demographic profiles and baseline parameters of the patients with regards to HR, MAP, CO, SVV, Spo2 and BIS of the patients of both the groups were comparable.

 

   Till intubation HR, CO and MAP were decreased in both the groups but the fall was sharper in P group. 1min following intubation, there was transient rise in all these parameters which came down around baseline in P group but remained at higher level in E group following 3 & 5 mins after intubation. Rescue drugs were required in case of E group subjects. SVV was not affected by study drugs.


Based on the results derived from this study, it can be concluded that when we compared Propofol & Etomidate for BIS guided induction in lumbar spine surgeries, the hemodynamic surge with etomidate lasted for a longer period, whereas, in propofol group hemodynamic status was maintained within normal range. So, we can say, though, etomidate is a superior induction agent in cardiac surgeries, role of etomidate as induction agent in spinal surgery is debatable & not cost effective.
