          Abstract

          JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A efedrina é o vasopressor mais utilizado em obstetrícia e a etilefrina é muito usada em anestesia regional. O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a efedrina com a etilefrina para correção de hipotensão arterial materna durante raquianestesia para cesariana eletiva. MÉTODO: Foram estudadas 120 gestantes divididas de forma aleatoria em dois grupos iguais. Todas receberam raquianestesia com bupivacaína, fentanil e morfina. Foi medida a pressão arterial não-invasiva e a freqüência cardíaca. Os recém-nascidos foram avaliados com o índice de Apgar. A incidência de hipotensão arterial, a quantidade de vasopressor necessária para correção e os efeitos adversos foram anotados. RESULTADOS: Ocorreu hipotensão arterial materna com freqüência nos dois grupos, sendo 68% do grupo etilefrina e 63% do grupo efedrina. Na maioria das gestantes foi corrigida com a primeira dose do vasopressor, sem diferença entre os grupos (66% etilefrina, 58% efedrina). A hipotensão arterial necessitou de duas ou mais doses de vasopressor para ser corrigida ou houve hipertensão reativa em poucas pacientes (24% e 10% do grupo etilefrina e 34% e 8% do grupo efedrina, respectivamente) sem diferença estatística significativa. Não houve diferença nos efeitos adversos e nos testes dos recém-nascidos. CONCLUSÕES: Com o método de administração empregado e com as doses de vasopressor selecionadas não houve diferença entre a efedrina e a etilefrina quando utilizadas para corrigir a hipotensão arterial materna em cesarianas com raquianestesia.

          BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Ephedrine is the most popular vasopressor for obstetrics and etilefrine is widely used in regional anesthesia. This study aimed at comparing ephedrine and etilefrine to correct maternal arterial hypotension during elective Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. METHODS: Participated in this study 120 pregnant patients who were randomly distributed in two equal groups. All patients received spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine, fentanyl and morphine. Noninvasive blood pressure and heart rate were monitored. Neonates were evaluated by the Apgar score. The incidence of hypotension, the amount of vasopressor needed to correct it and adverse effects were recorded. RESULTS: Maternal hypotension was similar in both groups (68% etilefrine group and 63% ephedrine group). The first vasopressor dose was enough to correct hypotension in most patients, with no difference between groups (66% etilefrine, 58% ephedrine). Few patients needed two or more doses to correct hypotension or presented reactive hypertension (24% and 10% in etilefrine and 34% and 8% in ephedrine groups, respectively), without statistically significant differences. There were no differences in adverse effects and neonate tests. CONCLUSIONS: With the administration method and selected vasopressor doses, there have been no differences between ephedrine and etilefrine used to correct maternal hypotension during Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.

          The sympathomimetic actions of l-ephedrine and d-pseudoephedrine: direct receptor activation or norepinephrine release?

          The basic mechanisms by which ephedrine is preferred over other vasopressors in obstetric anesthesia have not been clearly defined. We examined the sympathomimetic effects of l-ephedrine, currently used as a vasopressor, and d-pseudoephedrine, currently used as a decongestant. In anesthetized rats, l-ephedrine and d-pseudoephedrine caused dose-dependent increases in arterial blood pressure and heart rate, and these effects disappeared after destruction of the sympathetic nerve terminals with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) pretreatment. The two ephedrine isomers produced concentration-dependent increases in tension of anococcygeal muscle and sinus rate of right atrium from rats. However, the anococcygeal and atrial responses to d-pseudoephedrine were abolished after 6-OHDA pretreatment, whereas approximately 50% of the responses to l-ephedrine were 6-OHDA-resistant. In human umbilical artery and vein, the two isomers failed to generate any contraction when given at the concentration that is capable of producing significant effects on anococcygeal and atrial tissues. Although direct adrenoceptor activation with l-ephedrine was detectable at tissue levels, the pressor response in vivo was entirely attributable to norepinephrine release from sympathetic nerves. This indirect mechanism could partly explain why l-ephedrine is better at increasing maternal arterial blood pressure while preserving the uteroplacental blood flow that is devoid of the involvement of the sympathetic innervation. The indirectly sympathomimetic property of l-ephedrine may be one of the mechanisms to explain why ephedrine is preferred over alpha-adrenergic agonists as a vasopressor for treatment of intraspinal anesthesia-induced hypotension in obstetrics.
