Effect of dexmedetomidine or propofol sedation on haemodynamic stability of patients after thoracic surgery

Background: Dexmedetomidine and propofol are commonly used sedative agents in non-invasive ventilation as they allow for easy arousal and are relatively well controllable. Moreover dexmedetomidine is associated with low risk of respiratory depression. However, both agents are associated with significant hemodynamic side effects. The primary objective of this study is to compare the influence of both drugs on hemodynamic effects in patients after thoracic surgical procedures receiving dexmedetomidine or propofol for noninvasive postoperative ventilation. Methods: A prospective, randomised, observational study University Hospital. Interventions: Continuous sedation with dexmedetomidine or propofol for six hours of postoperative non-invasive ventilation after thoracic surgery, with concomitant use of continuous epidural analgesia. Results: A total of 38 patients (20 dexmedetomidine and 18 propofol) were included in the analysis. The primary outcomes of this study is that heart rate, systolic and mean arterial blood pressure did not differ significantly between the groups, but diastolic arterial blood pressure was significantly higher in propofol group. Comparison analysis of epinephrine usage did not reveal significant differences between the groups. Cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) analysis did not show significant differences between the groups, but there is a clear tendency of lower values of CO/CI in group receiving propofol. We also observed similar tendency in stroke volume index (SVI) and stroke volume variation (SVV) values, but also those differences did not reach statistical significance. Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) values were higher in propofol group, exceeding reference values, but similarly, the difference between the groups was not significant. Conclusions: The main finding of this study is that dexmedetomidine and propofol provide similar advantages in haemodynamic stability during short-term sedation for non-invasive ventilation after thoracic surgical procedures in patients receiving continuous epidural analgesia.
