Highlights |
• | Incidence of arrhythmia during induction of anesthesia with sevoflurane was 17.3% in adults. |
• | High sevoflurane concentration may be associated with arrhythmia during induction. |
• | Careful control of sevoflurane concentration during induction is required. |
Abstract |
Background |
Sevoflurane has been used to induce anaesthesia in adults due to its suitability for airway management and haemodynamic stability. Few studies have reported arrhythmia during volatile induction with sevoflurane in adults. Here, we investigated the incidence of arrhythmia and risk factors associated with its occurrence during sevoflurane induction of anaesthesia in adults.
Patients and Methods |
We retrospectively analysed 950 adult patients who underwent elective ear nose and throat surgery with volatile induction using sevoflurane between May and December 2015. The incidence of arrhythmia and the factors associated with its development were analysed.
Results |
Arrhythmia was observed in 164 (17.3%) of 950 adult patients. The most frequently observed arrhythmia was sinus tachycardia (heart rate > 120 bpm) (77 patients, 47.0%). The multivariable logistic analysis showed four independent risk factors: age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.984, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.973−0.996, p = 0.006), coronary artery disease (OR = 3.749, 95% CI = 1.574–8.927, p = 0.003), maximal concentration (8 vol%) of sevoflurane from the start of induction (OR = 2.696, 95% CI = 1.139–6.382, p = 0.024), and maintenance of 8 vol% sevoflurane concentration after eyelash reflex loss (OR = 1.577, 95% CI = 1.083–2.296, p = 0.018). The risk of hypotension was greater in patients in whom arrhythmia occurred, although blood pressure recovered to baseline after the concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted.
Conclusions |
We recommend that the sevoflurane concentration be gradually increased with continuous and vigilant electrocardiogram and blood pressure monitoring. The sevoflurane concentration should be adjusted after sufficient unconsciousness is reached.
