A Comparison Between Dexamethasone and Clonidine as Adjuvants to Levobupivacaine in the Supraclavicular Approach to the Brachial Plexus Block: A Double-Blind Study.

Cureus·2023

This study compared oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses across different anesthesia types. Spinal anesthesia showed the highest oxidative stress, indicating a need to assess patient antioxidant status before anesthesia.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Anesthesiology
  • Physiology

Background:

  • Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are integral to normal physiology but dysregulated in disease.
  • Anesthesia administration can impact ROS formation and oxidative stress levels.
  • Understanding these impacts is crucial for patient safety during surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comparatively evaluate oxidative stress and antioxidant defense markers in patients undergoing different types of anesthesia.
  • To assess the impact of halothane, vecuronium, and spinal anesthesia on lipid peroxidation, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activities.
  • To determine the safest anesthetic approach concerning oxidative stress markers.

Main Methods:

  • Blood samples were collected from 45 patients, divided into three groups (n=15 each).

  • Groups received either halothane, relaxant vecuronium, or spinal anesthesia with 5% heavy lignocaine.
  • Oxidative stress (malonyl dialdehyde) and antioxidant markers (superoxide dismutase, catalase) were measured.

    • Main Results:

    • Spinal anesthesia group exhibited the highest increase in malonyl dialdehyde (lipid peroxidation).
    • Superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were most significantly decreased in the spinal anesthesia group.
    • Halothane anesthesia showed a moderate increase in oxidative stress and decrease in antioxidant markers, while vecuronium showed the least impact.

    Conclusions:

    • Spinal anesthesia poses the highest risk of oxidative stress among the studied anesthetic types.
    • Pre-operative assessment of antioxidant status is recommended for patients receiving anesthesia.
    • Considering patient antioxidant status may lead to safer anesthetic practices and improved patient outcomes.
