• Yale New Haven Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut, United States

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• Alteration in rCBF is a reflection of neuronal activity in the brain, because of the property of flow-metabolism coupling in the brain.

• With Propofol anesthesia flow-metabolism coupling is maintained over a broad dose range.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• It has been reported a non-uniformity in rCBF change with both 0.25 MAC1 and 0.5 MAC SV.

• A study to measure the alteration in rCBF with Propofol 2 μg/mL plasma level (0.5 MAC equivalent) in healthy volunteers.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• 19 healthy ASA I volunteers (19-35 years). • Basic standards of monitoring and • Propofol anesthesia was administered

through a TCI device (Stanpump pump connected to a Harvard 22 syringe pump).

• TCI Propofol level was 2 μg/mL.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• PR level was confirmed by drawing a blood sample at the beginning and end of the infusion period.

• Regional CBF was measured in a 3 Tesla Siemens Trio by the PASL technique.

• CBF was measured in subjects while awake and under anesthesia.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• The difference in rCBF between the awake and anesthetized states was calculated (δ CBF).

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• Vital signs of all the subjects were within normal limits during Propofol infusion.

• With Propofol 2 μg/mL plasma level, 18/19 subjects were asleep with OAA/S score of ≤ 2 (no response to call) and none had any memory of the event.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• The total duration of anesthesia was 75 min. With 2 μg/mL plasma level Propofol there was a significant drop in rCBF in most of the regions (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal cortices and thalamus).

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• In the thalamus and occipital cortex decrease in CBF was close to 40-50%.

• In the anterior cingulated (ACC), insula and parahippocampal gyrus there was a modest rise in rCBF.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• PR causes a non-uniformity in rCBF.

• Regions manifesting a rise in rCBF (ACC, insula & parahippocampal gyrus) showed a similar response with 0.5 MAC SV also.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• 2 ACC & insula are linked to pain processing while parahippocampal gyrus is related to memory, whereas the thalamus is associated consciousness.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• The regional decrease in CBF was significantly more with PR than that seen with sevoflurane.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• With Propofol 2 μg/mL, there is a non-uniformity in rCBF;

• A response observed with Sevoflurane also.

Propofol 2 μg/mL Induces a Non-Uniformity in rCBF

• Because the flow response with Propofol is indirect (linked to a decrease in CMRO2) the CBF alteration is more pronounced as compared to Sevoflurane.

Target-controlled infusion (TCI)

• Target-controlled infusion (TCI) is useful for anesthetic management using Propofol because a TCI system can automatically adjust the dose to keep the predicted concentration of Propofol at the target concentration that was input into the TCI system by an anesthesiologist.

The dose of Propofol during TCI

• T. Kunisawa, A. Kurosawa, S. Hanada, H. Iwasaki: Attention should be paid to the dose of propofol during target-controlled infusion. The Internet Journal of Anesthesiology. 2010 Volume 24 Number 2

The dose of Propofol during TCI

• However, human error such as inputting incorrect weight can cause administration of Propofol at an inappropriate dose.

• Therefore, attention should be paid to whether the dose is appropriate or inappropriate against a target concentration.

The dose of Propofol during TCI

• It has been calculated the dose of propofol during TCI with 3 μg/mL of the target propofol concentration and found that the dose converged to 4.884 (mg/kg/h);

• And that the dose can be calculated in many periods by multiplying the target concentration (μg/mL) by 1.7-2.3.

The dose of Propofol during TCI

• Since the concentration of Propofol depends on only the dose independent of personal characteristics;

• The dose that should be administered (mg/kg/h) can be estimated by doubling the target concentration (μg/mL);

• And we should therefore repeatedly confirm that the appropriate dose is being administered.

A TCI system

• A TCI system is very convenient because a syringe pump with a built-in DiprifusorTM can adjust the Propofol dose by means of just inputting the expected target concentration of Propofol during anesthetic management after inputting the patient’s characteristics such as weight and age before starting administration.

A TCI system

• However, confirmation of matching dose with predicted plasma concentration (Cp) displayed on the syringe pump is thought to be always necessary for preventing human errors such as inputting incorrect weight.

A TCI system

• It has been calculated the predicted Cp using TIVAtrainerTM (http://www.eurosiva.org/; accessed on May 1, 2010) with Marsh’s parameter when it was assumed that Propofol was administered using TCI with 3 μg/mL of the target concentration in a 40-year-old male with a height of 170 cm and weight of 70 kg (Figure 1).

Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• I. Concentration(ug/ml)= a x dose (mg/kg/min)

• II. a = Weight (kg):CL1 (L/min)

• III. Dose (mg/kg/h) = b x concentration (ug/ml)

• IV. b = 1.628

Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• The patient a 40-year-old male ; • Height of 170 cm;• Weight of 70 kg. • Propofol dose decreases with time during

administration of Propofol at the target plasma concentration of 3 μg/mL;

• And converges to ~ 4.884 mg/kg/h.

Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• Cp: plasma concentration, prop: Propofol.

• Cp of intravenous anesthetics in a steady state can be predicted using the following equation:

Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• Cl1 is metabolic clearance.

• Cl1 of Propofol is affected only by weight and varies in proportion to weight .

• Therefore, value “α” is constant in all patients and the value is 36.84. 

Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• Formula (I) can be written as the following formula:

• I. Concentration(ug/ml)= a x dose (mg/kg/min)

TCI : Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• Value β is also constant in all patients. We can confirm that the dose is appropriate against the target concentration by using formulas (III) and (IV) in the steady state:

• III. Dose (mg/kg/h) = b x concentration (ug/ml)

• IV. b = 1.628

TCI : Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• However, in the case of Propofol, much time is needed until a steady state is reached.

TCI : Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• Thus, if value β is calculated from the data infusing formula (3);

• Value “β” falls below 2.3 at about 40 min after starting administration,

• Reaches 2.0 at about 2 hours and 7 min after starting administration;

• And falls below 1.7 at about 10 hours and 9 min after starting administration.

TCI : Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• These values are the same regardless of the patient’s characteristics or target concentration as long as the patient has not been administered Propofol before starting TCI and target concentration has not been changed.

• It can be approximate the appropriate dose (mg/kg/h) by means of doubling concentration (μg/ml).

TCI : Target plasma concentration and dose of Propofol with time

• It should constantly be confirmed during TCI that the administered dose (mg/kg/h) of Propofol matches the value calculated by doubling the target concentration (μg/ml).

• TCI RF: 7.43 ng/ml in the nasotracheal group;

RF for Nasotracheal vs. Orotracheal intubation during TCI PR

• The EC(50) (± SD) values for Remifentanil, calculated using a modified Dixon's up-and-down method, were:

• 6.08 ± 0.75 for nasotracheal intubation;

• 5.58 ± 0.75 ng/ml for orotracheal intubation;

RF for Nasotracheal vs. Orotracheal intubation during TCI PR

• Effect-site remifentanil concentrations did not differ significantly between the two groups of patients.

RF for Nasotracheal vs. Orotracheal intubation during TCI PR

• Coadministration of Propofol and Remifentanil can provide acceptable conditions for Nasotracheal intubation without neuromuscular blockade.

Conventional Rate Controlled Infusion (RCI)

• Conventional Rate Controlled Infusion (RCI) -Propofol infusion rate(shown in green) is constant at 40 mcg/kg/min.

• Drug concentration in blood (shown in blue) increases with time.

Conventional Rate Controlled Infusion (RCI)

• With TCI, software within the pump models the distribution and elimination of a particular drug in an average patient.

• To achieve and maintain a set drug concentration in the blood, a TCI system will calculate, and deliver with a short rapid infusion, the amount of drug required to reach the target rapidly.

Conventional Rate Controlled Infusion (RCI)

• Thereafter the TCI system will automatically reduce the infusion rate over time, delivering sufficient drug to compensate for loss from the circulation by redistribution and elimination.

• Thus the blood concentration is constant and the infusion rate decreases over time (see Fig 2).

Target Controlled Infusion

• Target Controlled Infusion - Calculated blood propofol concentration indicated by TCI system is constant at 1000ng/ml.

• Propofol infusion rate (shown in green) decreases over time.

Target Controlled Infusion• If an increase in drug concentration is required,

a further small bolus is administered by the TCI system and the maintenance rate adjusted to maintain this new target.

• If a decrease in target concentration is requested, the TCI system will stop the infusion until the model within the pump calculates that the blood concentration will have fallen to the new target.

Target Controlled Infusion

• Infusion then recommences automatically at a lower rate to maintain this lower target.

• Thus with TCI, when a given target setting is changed, the response in the blood concentration occurs more rapidly and more reproducibly than with RCI (see Fig 3).

Advantages of TCI

• A. Benefits to Pharmaceutical Companies1. Maintenance of a desired drug concentration may improve therapeutic effect and minimise toxicity or undesirable effects associated with high peak concentrations obtained with bolus dosing.2. Use of TCI in drug development allows early determination of concentration/effect data. A number of stepped drug concentrations can be studied in the same subject. Early availability of PK/PD data may help to shorten drug development times.3. Simplification of dosing strategy and improved ease of use

TCI : Benefits to User• 1. Dose titration to achieve a desired effect is

facilitated• 2. Simplification of dosage and improved ease of

use• 3. Advisory information on the calculated drug

concentration is provided• 4. Improved individualisation of dosage if a

complex PK model is available using covariates for age or other patient characteristics.
