dc.description.abstractStudy objective: Controlled hypotension is a preferred method in various surgical operations, but limited data are available for the effects of drug combinations that are used to ensure the desired level of hypotension on cardiac repolarization. Design: Randomized, prospective, double-blinded study. Patients: The study comprised 65 patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery under general anesthesia. Interventions: Group S received sevoflurane inhalation alone, group R received sevoflurane and remifentant and group N received sevoflurane and nitroglycerine in a way that a mean arterial pressure of 60 +/- 5 mm Hg was achieved. Measurements: Electrocardiogram was performed before induction (T1), 30 minutes after induction (T2), and 5 minutes after extubation (T3). Corrected QT (QTc), QT dispersion (QTd), and corrected Tp-e (Tp-ec) intervals and Tp-e/corrected QT (Tp-e/QTc) ratio were calculated. Main results: QTc prolongation was observed at T2 and T3 in all groups, but only QTc prolongation at T2 was statistically significant in group S (P> .05). Significant prolongation of QTd interval at T2 and T3 was observed in group S (P< .05). In all groups, Tp-ec decreased at T2. However Tp-ec decrease was not statistically significant in group S (P= .103) and group R (P= .058). Tp-e/QTc was significantly decreased on T2 in all 3 groups, and it was returned to baseline at T3 (P< .05). Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that none of the 3 hypotensive anesthesia methods has an overall negative effect on Tp-e and Tp-e/QTc. Therefore, we conclude that all 3 methods can be used safely in terms of proarrhythmic risk, but increased sevoflurane consumption may require more attention due to significant prolongation of QTc and QTd.
