[General anesthesia and preoperative changes in plasma beta-endorphin].

F Scarlino, F Arbez-Gindre, C Clément

    Cahiers D'Anesthesiologie

    Summary

    Different anesthesia methods impact stress hormone levels during abdominal surgery. Neuroleptanalgesia and pure analgesia maintained stable beta-endorphin, while halothane increased it. Cortisol rose significantly with neuroleptanalgesia and halothane, but less so with fentanyl.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Endocrinology
    • Surgical Medicine

    Context:

    • Investigating patient stress responses during abdominal surgery.
    • Comparing three distinct anesthetic regimens: neuroleptanalgesia (droperidol/fentanyl), pure analgesia (fentanyl), and halothane with fentanyl.
    • Monitoring hormonal variations from premedication through the recovery phase.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the differential effects of anesthetic techniques on plasmatic beta-endorphin and cortisol levels.
    • To determine how specific anesthetic agents influence the neuroendocrine stress response in surgical patients.

    Summary:

    • Beta-endorphin levels remained stable with neuroleptanalgesia and pure analgesia but increased post-incision with halothane anesthesia.
    • Cortisol levels were stable until incision across all groups, then significantly elevated in neuroleptanalgesia and halothane groups.

  • Fentanyl-based anesthesia showed a delayed and attenuated cortisol increase compared to the other anesthetic strategies.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the neuroendocrine modulation of pain and stress by different anesthetic protocols.
    • Informs anesthetic choices to potentially mitigate stress responses and optimize patient recovery.
    • Highlights the distinct physiological impacts of volatile agents versus opioid-based anesthesia on stress markers.
