Blood pressure changes in head-injury patients during pre-hospital anaesthesia with propofol

Intubation at the site of accident is often necessary for patients who have sustained significant head injuries. Propofol can attenuate the hypertensive response to intubation, and cause hypotension in anaesthetic doses which can be greatly exaggerated in hypovolaemic patients. We studied nine patie...

description Intubation at the site of accident is often necessary for patients who have sustained significant head injuries. Propofol can attenuate the hypertensive response to intubation, and cause hypotension in anaesthetic doses which can be greatly exaggerated in hypovolaemic patients. We studied nine patients with isolated head injuries and 11 multiply injured patients with associated head injuries. Patients were resuscitated and then intubated with a small dose of propofol, titrated to ensure unconciousness, and then suxamethonium. In neither group was there a statistically significant fall in blood pressure afterwards although the multiply injured patients tended have greater falls. We conclude that propofol used thus does not cause clinically important hypotension in these potentially unstable patients, but only doctors with suitable anaesthetic and pre-hospital experience should attempt it.
