Heart Rate Variability Under Propofol and Sevoflurane

March 28, 2017 updated by: Pr Isabelle CONSTANT, Hôpital Armand Trousseau

Spectral Analysis of Heart Rate Variability at BIS 25 and BIS 55 Under Propofol or Sevoflurane

Patients were randomized into 2 groups according to the anesthetic, propofol or sevoflurane. Induction and maintenance were standardized, and after the end of surgery, two steady-state recordings were performed at BIS 25 and BIS 55. Bispectral Index and ECG were continuously recorded and cardiac autonomic nervous activity was investigated using spectral analysis of RR Interval variability

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Sevoflurane

General anesthesia using sevoflurane as a hypnotic agent, and remifentanil as an analgesic.

Two steady state periods of 10 minutes each, one with a steady bispectral index at 25 +/- 5, the other with a steady bispectral index at 55 +/- 5. Continuous recording of heart rate during the last minute of each steady-state. Off-line spectral analysis of heart rate variability.
