SPI and Remifentanil in Skull Pin Fixation

To Explore the Optimal Dose of Remifentanil for Skull Pin Fixation Under Surgical Pleth Index Monitor in Intracranial Surgery

Forty patients were enrolled, and all patients used total intravenous anesthesia (remifentanil-propofol based total intravenous analgesia) as anesthesia induction and maintenance. According to the preliminary data of this department, patients who underwent intracranial surgery for skull pin fixation used remifentanil 5.0-6.0 ng/ml, while the hemodynamics is relatively stable. Therefore, when this plan is implemented, the patient needs to be under the same depth of anesthesia (monitored by electroencephalography, maintaining a value of 40-60), first start with remifentanil 5.0 ng/ml, and use the up and down method as adjust 0.5 ng/ml of concentration of remifentanil each time. Inadequate antinociception (Surgical Pleth Index(SPI) > 80 and hyperdynamics (the increased heart rate (HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP) above 20% of baseline or HR>100bpm and arterial blood pressure(ABP)>180/100mmHg)) is defined as failure, therefore we increase remifentanil by 0.5 ng/ml; otherwise, the setting is considered successful without abovementioned situations.

Data collection: heart rate, mean blood pressure, Surgical Pleth Index, bispectral Index, pulse pressure variance, systolic pressure variance, concentrations of propofol and remifentanil before 2 mins, during, 5, and 15 mins of skull pin fixation were recorded and analyzed.

Neurosurgery with fixation
first start with remifentanil 5.0 ng/ml, and use the up and down method as adjust 0.5 ng/ml of concentration of remifentanil each time. Inadequate antinociception (Surgical Pleth Index(SPI) > 80 and hyperdynamics (the increased heart rate (HR) and mean blood pressure (MBP) above 20% of baseline or HR>100bpm and arterial blood pressure(ABP)>180/100mmHg)) is defined as failure, therefore we increase remifentanil by 0.5 ng/ml; otherwise, the setting is considered successful without abovementioned situations.
