Benefits:
Post-operative nausea and vomiting
European Journal of Anaesthesiology 1998, 15, 433-5
70 trials (57 adult, 13 children)
4074 vomiting as end-point; 3516 nausea; 742 n and v
“3.5 and 5.7-fold reductions in vomiting in adults and children respectively when
propofol used at induction and maintenance”
PONV (ctd)
BJA 2002; 88(5):659-68 Volatile anaesthetics may
be the main cause of early but not delayed
postoperative vomiting: a randomized controlled
trial of factorial design C.C Apfel et al
5 way factorial design (gender, type of surgery,
anaesthetic maintenance, opiod use, antiemetic use)
1180 patients (593 children) elective ENT or
strabismus surgery
Strongest risk factor for vomiting was use of volatile
anaesthetics compared with propofol
(Odds ratio for Iso and Sevo were 3.4 and 2.8)
BJA 2002; Apfel et al (ctd)
Early post-op period (0-2 hrs) showed volatiles as also being the
clear risk factor (40% PONV cw 10% PONV with propofol)
(Adjusted Odds ratios: Iso 19.8, Sevo 14.5)
Depends somewhat on degree of exposure
“Irrespective of volatile type this factor alone was several orders of
magnitude stronger than all other factors (including antiemetics) in
early post-op period”
PONV (ctd)
Pediatric Anesthesia 2004 14:251-5
135 boys with Hx motion sickness/PONV
Sevo vs Prop/Ketamine; all had Ilioinguinal block. No premed or nitrous
No opiates
Anesth Analg 2003; 97:62
“PONV is debilitating, costly
and prevalent”
2X incr vomiting in children
Adenotonsillectomy, squint
repair, herniae, orchiopexy and
penile surgery
Use of Propofol and avoiding
volatiles was most
efficacious measure (1A
evidence)
Should we be extending the
benefit to paediatric day-case?
Benefits:
Post Anaesthesia Emergence Delirium
(PAED)

Incidence
Scoring systems
Risk factors
Prevention
16 retinoblastoma kids
1-5 yo
All had Sevo induction
Randomised to Sevo or Propofol
Had alternate agent for next exam
....good study but small numbers!
Paeds Anesthesia 2009; 19; 748-55
Prospective study of 179 dental patients
No difference in PAED scores
Sevo group significantly higher PONV and nursing
interventions
Propofol group discharged 10 mins later
“...PAED is hard to quantify”

Benefits:
Laryngospasm/ Bronchospasm
Lancet 2010; 376; p773
Prospective multivariate analysis
9297 questionnaires
Types of surgery:
Scoliosis surgery
SSSS
SSEP’s and MEP’s suppressed by volatile agents
S
No muscle

Types of surgery:
Neurosurgery
Maintain CO2 /CBF
coupling
Avoid BP fluctuations
Clear-headed emergence
Avoid coughing/ICP surges
(TIVA interferes with
mapping for epilepsy
surgery)
ENT/
Bronchoscopy
Tonsillectomy?
Inhaled foreign body
CARDIAC SURGERY
Types of surgery
Radiology/ catheter lab
Cardiac
Burns baths
Hospital transfers
ICU sedation
...most surgery suited to TIVA really

Why TCI?
Bolus: Ct x V1
Elimination: Ct x Cl = Ct x V1 x k10
Transfer: Ct x V1(k12e-k21t + k13e-k31t)
So the dose: Ct x V1(k10+k12e-k21t+k13e-k31t)
Do we need all this maths!!
TCI provides a simple way of adjusting the proportion of
drug in a plasma or ‘effect-site’
Propofol pharmacokinetics
20 children, adult algorithm
High targets required as model over-predicted
Revised model 10 children, better accuracy
Diprifusor 1996
Anesthesiology 1994, 80(1):104
53 children age 3-11 yrs
Anaesthesia maintained with Halothane/N2O
658 Venous specimens
20: 3mg/kg then nil else
18: 3.5mg/kg then 9mg/kg/hr
15: 3.5mg/kg then 12mg/kg/hr (30min) then 7.5mg/kg/hr until conclusion
....Complicated pharmacokinetic analyses to achieve “best”estimate of volumes
and clearances to describe the observed concentrations in all the children

NO FORMAL PROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF PREDICTIVE
PERFORMANCE
Kataria’s model one of the most widely used
(Anesthesia & Analgesia 2008; 106,no.4;p1109 Rigouzzo et al.The
relationship between BIS and propofol during TCI))
Anesthesiology 2000; 92:727-38
Pooled data from multiple small studies
270 patients, 4,000 specimens (some arterial, some venous)
(96 children, 1113 specimens including Kataria’s data of 657)
Some bolus only, some with infusions

Prospective evaluation of 29 patients
Age 1-15
Cardiac surgery with CPB (22) or cardiac cath procedures (7)
Maitre Alfentanil TCI for surgery group
Arterial levels (up to 9 per patient)
212 specimens
Performance errors 4-10%
Absalom et al; BJA 2003 91(4):507-13
Linking Pk and PD: the elusive ke0

BIS/ Entropy/ AAEP’s
“more precise” targeting of where your drug works
Bigger initial bolus
Anesthesiology 2004; 101:1269
25 adults, 25 children
A-Line monitor
Sub-maximal propofol bolus
“peak effect” recorded
Values entered into Kataria &
Paedfusor algorithms
results:
keo 0.41 min‾1 Kataria
keo 0.91 min-1 Paedfusor
....what about inter-individual variability?
Our traditional skills in monitoring and
titrating agents are still essential in
TIVA
RCH study
40 patients aged 3-16
Kataria or Paedfusor
Arterial access
Specimens in a similar fashion to Absalom et
al (2003)
Use a BIS where possible (many
neurosurgical patients)
Look for accuracy and benefits

“a drug that needs another drug”
Remifentanil the obvious choice (effects on BISPerth study Anesthesia & Analgesia 2007 104; 2; p325;

TIVA disadvantages









Needs to be considered in the context of available
alternative techniques
Awareness
Vagal responses
Involuntary movements
Pain on injection
Anaphylactoid/Anaphylactic reactions are rare (what do we
do with egg, peanut and food allergies?)
PRIS
Infection of infusion solutions
Line dead space, Anti-reflux, flow rates, excess fluid loads
in small patients
Propofol Infusion Syndrome
Rare
Potentially fatal
May be preventable
Is it the drug or the carrier vehicle?
Mitochondria: respiratory chain inhibition or impaired fatty acid
metabolism
Anaesthesia 2007; 62 p690-701; PCA Kam, D Cardone
New propofol formulations

Involved study
Similar pharmacokinetics/dynamics
Reduced microbial contamination
More pain on injection

No difference in haematological or renal side effects



Pharmaceutics



Lipuro (MCT’s)
Fospropofol
Where’s the 2%? ....or 6%?
Closing the loop

BIS paediatric ,Entropy-need to correlate different levels
with different Propofol levels Anesthesia & Analgesia 106; 4;
April 2008 p1109 (cerebral pharmacodynamic feedback may help
adapt Cpt and blunt interindividual variability)




Awareness could be 8X^ adults- does this matter?
EEG study at RCH currently
Children have different autonomic responses to
anaesthesia
Effect of drugs
Expired propofol metabolites
Anesthesiology 2007 ; 106:659-64
11 patients
Elective surgery (with epidural)
Constant rate manual infusions (3mg/kg/hr for one hrthen 6mg/kg/hr for one hr- then 9mg/kg/hr)
Proton Transfer Mass Spectrometry plus blood levels
Rapid propofol
analyser
Frequent sampling possible
Finally allows studies more
efficiently?
Accuracy?
Cost?
Potential advances in TCI
are huge
Conclusion







Choose your patient, list and procedure
TCI Propofol as a mainstay
Pick the model you’re comfortable with
Add a synergist- must be titratable!
Close the loop (BIS, Entropy, AEP’s)
Enjoy the benefits
