Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
ANS modulation is studied non invasively by means of heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity. Beat-to-beat intervals are computed detecting the QRS complex on the ECG and locating the R-apex using parabolic interpolation. The maximum arterial pressure within each R-to-R interval is taken as systolic arterial pressure (SAP). Sequences of 300 values are randomly selected inside each experimental condition. The power spectrum is estimated according to a univariate parametric approach fitting the series to an autoregressive model. Autoregressive spectral density is factorized into components each of them characterized by a central frequency. A spectral component is labeled as LF if its central frequency is between 0.04 and 0.15 Hz, while it is classified as HF if its central frequency is between 0.15 and 0.4 Hz. The HF power of R-to-R series is utilized as a marker of vagal modulation directed to the heart , while the LF power of SAP series is utilized as a marker of sympathetic modulation directed to vessels. The ratio of the LF power to the HF power assessed from R-to-R series is taken as an indicator simpatho-vagal balance directed to the heart. Baroreflex control in the low frequencies is computed as the square root of the ratio of LF(RR) to LF(SAP). Similarly baroreflex control in the high frequencies is defined as the square root of the ratio of HF(RR) to HF(SAP).
The optic nerve sheet's diameter is assessed echographically after induction of general anesthesia and at the end of the surgery.
Management of general anesthesia is standardized:
* induction with propofol 1.5-2 mg/kg, Remifentanil Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) Ce 4 ng/ml , neuromuscolar blockade with cisatracurium 0.2 mg/kg.
* Maintenance: Sevoflurane 0.6-1.5 MAC (State Entropy target: 40-60); Remifentanil TCI (range Ce 3-15 ng/ml) (Surgical Pleth Index target: 20-50).
* mechanical ventilation at respiratory rate ≥14 breats/min, with tidal volume adjusted to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide at 32-38 mmHg, and Pplateu \<32 cmH2O.
Sample size:
to detect a difference in LF/HF ratio of 0.8 with a SD of 1.7, a power of 0.80 and type I error of 0.05, 37 patients are needed.
