We routinely administer all antihypertensive drugs preoperatively, except ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II antagonists (AIIAs), which we tailor to the individual patient. Coriat and colleagues[122] found that ACE inhibitors were associated with hypotension in 100% of patients during induction versus about 20% in whom ACE inhibitors were withheld on the morning of surgery. Bertrand and coworkers performed a prospective randomized study in which it was demonstrated that more severe hypotensive episodes requiring vasoconstrictor treatment occur after induction of general anesthesia in patients chronically treated with an AIIA and receiving the drug on the morning before surgery than in those in whom AIIAs were discontinued on the day before surgery.[123] Kheterpal and colleagues performed a propensity-matched analysis of 12,381 noncardiac surgery cases.[124] Patients with chronic ACE inhibitor/angiotensin receptor blocker and diuretic therapy showed more periods with a mean arterial BP lower than 70 mm Hg, periods with a 40% decrease in systolic BP, periods with a 50% decrease in systolic BP, and vasopressor boluses than patients receiving diuretic therapy alone did. If these drugs are continued, vasopressin is the drug of choice for refractory hypotension. Although the long-term adverse effects of withholding therapy on the morning of surgery were not assessed, we withhold therapy until either oral fluid is able to be consumed (ambulatory patients) or we can convert to intravenously or nasogastrically administered alternatives (patients who remain NPO postoperatively). We even administer the patient's chronic diuretics on the morning of surgery because the major effect of diuretics after 1 week of therapy is arteriolar vasodilation and assessment of urine output may be inaccurate if the diuretic is abruptly discontinued on the morning of surgery.摘自Miller Anestehsia.7th edition. |
