Abstract: Objective To compare the effects of Ephedrine and combined with small dose cisatracurium treatments on the onset time of cisatracurium and hemodynamics in elderly patients.Methods Sixty cases of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 4 groups:E group (ephedrine pretreatment),P group (cisatracurium primin),PE group (cisatracurium priming and ephedrine pretreatment) and C group(control),and each group of 15 cases.Cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg were given in P group and PE group,and then ephedrine 70 μg/kg were given in PE group and E group.Anesthesia was induced with target controlled infusion of propofol (target plasma concentration 3-5 pg/ml),fentanyl 3-4 pg/kg.Cisatracurium 0.015 mg/kg were given in E group and C group,and P group and PE group dose intravenous cannula remaining.Tracheal intubation was performed when the twitch height depressed to 0.Results The Onset time of PE,C,E and P group were (164±28) s,(306±61) s,(187±31) s and (193±40) s and there were significant differences(F=33.990,P＜0.01).The onset time of PE group was shorter than that in C,E,P group,and the difference was significant (P＜0.05).Systolic pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) levels in four groups after induction were lower than those before induction (F =35.783,30.015,P =0.000).SBP,diastolic blood pressure (DBP),MAP in PE group and E group were significant higher than those in C group(P＜0.05).After inductions,heart rate(HR) in PE group was significant different form that in C group(P ＜0.05),and HR of C group was significantly decrease than before inductions(P＜0.05).After inductions,the cases with DBP were 11 patients(73.3％) in C group,10 patients(66.7％) in P group:,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients (26.7％) in PE group,the different were significant (x2 =9.867,P ＜ 0.05).After intubation,cases with increase blood press were 3 patients (20.0％) in C group,5 patients(33.3％) in E group,and 4 patients(26.7％) in E group and PE group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Ephedrine of 70 μg/kg can relief the circulatory depression and accelerate the onset time of cisatracurium in the elderly patients.Combined with cisatracurium priming can further shorten the onset time and be for elders.
