Abstract
BACKGROUND: Impaired baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is a marker of autonomous dysfunction, which may play an important role in the long-term development of hypertension. Perioperative patients with hypertension are rapidly increasing in all populations worldwide. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the value of BRS for hypertension in a surgery cohort. METHODS: An observational and cross-sectional study was performed, involving 96 patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary lobectomy or segmentectomy. Invasive blood pressure and heart rate before and after giving nitroglycerin were measured in 48 normotensive patients and 48 hypertensive patients (25 and 23 undergoing regular treatment hypertensive [HR] and irregular treatment hypertensive [HI], respectively) while entering the operation room, 30 minutes after skin incision, and 10 minutes after skin suture. RESULTS: BRSpreoperative of hypertensive group (Group H) was lower than normotensive group (Group N) (3.49 ± 1.55 vs. 5.75 ± 4.15 ms/mmHg; P < 0.05). BRSintraoperative of Group H was lower than Group N (1.70 ± 1.18 vs. 2.84 ± 1.11 ms/mmHg; P < 0.05). BRSpreoperative of patients in irregular-treated group (Group HI) was lower than regular-treated group (Group HR) (2.92 ± 1.36 vs. 4.31 ± 1.87 ms/mmHg; P < 0.05). BRSintraoperative of Group HI was lower than Group HR (1.45 ± 0.90 vs. 2.08 ± 1.82 ms/mmHg; P < 0.05). BRSintraoperative and BRSpostoperative were lower than BRSpreoperative in each group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The perioperative autonomic nerve function was significantly impaired in hypertensive patients. This effect was less pronounced for those who were on regular antihypertensive treatment. Attention should be paid to maintain the stability of cardiovascular function, to ensure patients can go through perioperative period safely.
