Methods: Forty four nonpremedicated patients undergoing conventional cardiac surgery were allocated to the study. Anaesthetic induction was performed with fentanyl (30 g/kg, IV) (Group 1; n = 22), or fentanyl (20 g/kg; IV) and midazolam (0.1 mg/kg, IV) (Group 2; n = 22). Anaesthesia was maintained with fentanyl (0.1 _g kg-1 min-1, IV) and isoflurane (0.8%) within 100% oxygen in both groups. In the second group additional dose of midazolam (0.1 mg kg-1, IV) was given just before starting to rewarm the patient. Rectal temperature was monitored continuously and noted at lowest point, at highest point and every five minutes. Sweating was noted, starting with rewarming until the end of the rewarming period, scored from 0 to 3 (0 = no sweat, 1 = a little sweat on the forehead, 2 = sweat on forehead and in the face, 3 = widespread sweat in face, neck, and head). On the postoperative first day patients were tested for awareness. Groups were compared for both awareness and sweating, and any possible correlation between sweating and awareness was investigated.
Results: Awareness was observed in 12 patients in Group 1, and two patients in Group 2, and this difference between groups was statistically significant. The rate of sweating was lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (63.55% and 81.82%, respectively), although the degree of sweating was higher in Group 2 (2.28 vs. 2, respectively). These differences were not statistically significant. There was no correlation between sweating and awareness.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that addition of midazolam to fentanyl anaesthesia attenuates the awareness but not the rate and the degree of sweating.
Isınma süresi, oda ısısı ve ısınma döneminde her beş dakikada bir rektal ısı kaydedildi. Isınma periyodu boyunca terleme miktarı derecelendirilerek (0 = ter yok, 1 = alında birkaç damla ter, 2 = alında ve yüzde, 3 = yüz, boyun ve saçlı deride yaygın ter) kaydedildi. Postoperatif birinci günde olguya operasyon ile ilgili herhangi bir şey hatırlayıp hatırlamadığı soruldu ve cevaplar evet veya hayır olarak kaydedildi. Gruplar terleme ve farkında olma açısından karşılaştırıldı ve terleme ile farkında olma arasındaki korelasyon araştırıldı.
İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS 10.0 for Windows programı kullanılarak, olguların demografik verilerinin karşılaştırılmasında Student t testi hem terleme hem de farkında olma açısından gruplar arası karşılaştırmada ki-kare testi, terleme ve farkında olma arasındaki korelasyonun araştırılması için Pearson korelasyon testi uygulandı. P < 0.05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi.
