Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a sedação, a pressão intraocular e as alterações hemodinâmicas com o uso de doses baixas de clonidina, 100 µg e 200 µg por via oral, como medicação pré-anestésica para operações de catarata em regime ambulatorial. MÉTODO: O trabalho foi realizado pela Universidade Federal de São Paulo, sendo um estudo clínico aleatório e duplamente encoberto em 60 pacientes, de ambos os sexos, estado físico ASA 1 e 2, com idade mínima de 18 anos e máxima de 80 anos. Os pacientes foram divididos em três grupos: placebo, clonidina 100 µg e 200 µg. As medidas de pressão intraocular, frequência cardíaca e pressão arterial, além da avaliação de sedação, foram feitas antes e após 90 minutos da administração da clonidina. Os níveis de sedação foram classificados de acordo com a escala de sedação de Ramsay. RESULTADOS: Pacientes que receberam placebo e 100 µg de clonidina não apresentaram redução da frequência cardíaca com diferença estatística significativa, enquanto os que receberam 200 µg de clonidina, sim. Os que receberam clonidina na dose de 200 µg apresentaram redução na pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica (p < 0,05). Um paciente que utilizou 200 µg de clonidina desenvolveu hipotensão arterial grave com pressão sistólica < 80 mmHg. Os pacientes tratados com clonidina apresentaram redução da pressão intraocular (p < 0,05). Quanto à sedação, 90 minutos após a administração de placebo e clonidina 100 µg e 200 µg por via oral, 25%, 60% e 80% dos pacientes encontravam-se, respectivamente, em Ramsay 3 ou 4. CONCLUSÕES: A dose de 100 µg de clonidina pode ser indicada como medicação pré-anestésica para facectomia, possuindo efeito na sedação, diminuição da pressão intraocular e ausência de efeitos adversos na pressão arterial sistêmica e frequência cardíaca.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the degree of sedation, intraocular pressure, and hemodynamic changes with premedication with low doses of oral clonidine, 100 µg and 200 µg, in outpatient cataract surgeries. METHODS: This is a randomized, double-blind, clinical study undertaken at the Universidade Federal de São Paulo with 60 patients of both genders, physical status ASA 1 and 2, ages 18 to 80 years. Patients were separated into three groups: placebo, clonidine 100 µg, and clonidine 200 µg. Intraocular pressure, heart rate, and blood pressure besides assessment of sedation were measured before and 90 minutes after the administration of clonidine. Sedation levels were classified according to the Ramsay sedation scale. RESULTS: Patients who received placebo and 100 µg of clonidine did not show reduction in heart rate, while a reduction in heart rate was observed in patients who received 200 µg of clonidine, and this difference was statistically significant. Patients who received 200 µg of clonidine also had a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.05). One patient who received 200 µg of clonidine developed severe hypotension, with systolic pressure < 80 mmHg. Patients treated with clonidine had a reduction in intraocular pressure (p < 0.05). Ninety minutes after the oral administration of placebo and 100 µg and 200 µg of clonidine, 25%, 60%, and 80% of the patients respectively were classified as Ramsay 3 or 4. CONCLUSIONS: Clonidine 100 µg can be indicated as premedication for fasciectomies, being effective in sedation and reduction of intraocular pressure, without adverse effects on blood pressure and heart rate.
