Changes in skin thermal clearance during anaesthesia.

J L Saumet, C S Degoute, A Dittmar

    Anaesthesia
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    General anesthesia increases skin blood flow early on. A new thermal clearance probe detects this change before blood pressure drops or skin temperature rises, proving it

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine
    • Physiology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • General anesthesia can cause thermal and vascular side effects.
    • These effects are linked to alterations in skin blood flow.
    • Monitoring skin blood flow is crucial for patient safety during anesthesia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a novel noninvasive probe for measuring skin thermal clearance.
    • To assess the relationship between skin thermal clearance and skin blood flow during general anesthesia.
    • To determine if skin thermal clearance can predict hemodynamic changes during anesthesia.

    Main Methods:

    • A new noninvasive probe measuring skin thermal clearance was utilized.
    • The study involved nine patients undergoing general anesthesia with phenoperidine, droperidol, and propanidid.
    • Skin thermal clearance, mean arterial blood pressure, and skin temperature were monitored.

    Main Results:

    • Statistically significant increases in skin thermal clearance were observed.
    • These increases in thermal clearance consistently preceded drops in mean arterial blood pressure.
    • The rise in skin temperature was also preceded by the increase in skin thermal clearance.

    Conclusions:

    • General anesthesia induces an early increase in skin blood flow.
    • Skin thermal clearance is a sensitive indicator of early changes in skin blood flow.
    • Thermal clearance measurement is a superior technique to skin thermometry for monitoring skin blood flow during anesthesia.
