About
To compare the hemodynamic changes during anesthesia induction between Marsh and Schnider plasma TCI models. We put forward a hypothesis that, if one TCI model is associated with much more prominent vasodilation effect or cardiac depression, a more sharp decrease in mean arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance , central venous return or stroke volume would be observed.
Full description
Current systems of propofol TCI are pre-programmed with the Marsh and Schnider pharmacokinetic models. Rate constants of Marsh are fixed, whereas compartment volumes and clearances are weight proportional. Schnider model has fixed values for VC, V3, k13, and k31, adjusts V2, k12, and k21 for age, and adjusts k10 according to total weight, lean body mass (LBM), and height. One major benefit of the Schnider model is that it adjusts doses and infusion rates according to patient age. This provides a strong argument for using the Schnider model in the elderly and unwell patients which may improve hemodynamic stability and safety.
However for the vast majority of young and middle age patients, whether Marsh or Schnider would be a better choice for hemodynamic stability remains unknown.
With marsh model, as VC is scaled to body weight, the amount of drug delivered is dependent of body weight. In the Schnider model, as VC at 4.27L is independent of body weight, VC in terms of ml/kg decreases as body weight increases. This and the influence of height and weight on clearance results in heavier patients receiving less propofol on a mg/kg basis whereas those with a lower lean body mass will initially receive about 30% less than delivered by Marsh, but after 30 min, the Schnider model delivers about 15% more. Besides, when Schnider model is used in the morbidly obese, the LBM equation can generate paradoxical values resulting in excessive increases in maintenance infusion rates. Nevertheless, the purpose of this study was to investigate the vast majority of Asian patients whose body weight were in normal range. Only patients with BMI between 18 and 29 were included to minimize the influential factor of body weight in TCI system.
