Abstract
Le but de ce travail a été d’évaluer l’efficacité du captopril dans la prévention de l’élévation de la pression artérielle lors de chirurgie du membre inférieur sous garrot pneumatique en anesthésie balancée. Vingt patients consécutifs ont été inclus dans cette étude et randomisés en deux groupes. L’un (n = 10), recevant un comprimé de captopril de 50 mg avec la prémédication, l’autre (n = 10), recevant un comprimé de placebo au même moment. Les différentes variables étudiées (tension artérielle, fréquence cardiaque) ont été mesurées continuellement. Cette étude a démontré, que le prétraitement par du captopril ne permet pas de prévenir une augmentation de la pression artérielle pendant la durée de gonflage d’un garrot pneumatique, les moyennes des tensions artérielles systoliques et diastoliques, à la fin de la période de gonflage du garrot, s’élèvent à 128 /86 et 128/81 dans le groupe captopril et dans le groupe placebo, respectivement. Ce résultat montre que le système rénine-angiotensine n’intervient pas, ou que peu, dans le phénomène d’augmentation des valeurs tensionnelles induite par un garrot pneumatique.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of captopril for the prevention of the increase of arterial pressure during orthopaedic surgery requiring the application of lower limb tourniquets with balanced anaesthesia. Twenty consecutive patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into two groups. The first (n = 10) received 50 mg captopril orally together with the preanaesthetic medication, the second (n = 10) received a placebo at the same time. The different variables studied (arterial pressure, heart rale) were continuously measured. This study demonstrated that the pretreatment with captopril did not prevent an increase of the arterial pressure during the application of a tourniquet. The means of the systolic and diastolic arterial pressures at the end of the application of the tourniquet were 128/86 and 128/81 in the captopril group and the placebo group, respectively. This result shows that the renin-angiotensin system does not significantly contribute to the increase of the arterial pressure induced by a tourniquet.
