Popis: Background & objectiveDelta sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) is an endogenous peptide that crosses the blood brain barrier, named after its association with natural sleep and enhanced EEG delta rhythm. The objective of this study was to determine whether DSIP could be used as an adjunct to volatile anaesthesia in human subjects, our hypothesis being that DSIP is a natural hypnotic that would increase anaesthetic depth. The aims were to assess depth of anaesthesia using BIS, the EEG and heart rate variability, and to determine whether DSIP altered the symmetry of EEG between the left and right cerebral hemispheres.Methods24 female American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score I or II patients gave written, informed consent to a protocol approved by our local research ethics committee. 12 were randomly assigned as controls to receive saline. 12 were randomly allocated to receive one of three intravenous bolus doses of DSIP (Clinalfa) at 25, 50 or 100 nM kg-1. The first administration of DSIP was while awake, the second after induction of anaesthesia with propofol and maintainance with isoflurane. BIS and EEG parameters were measured continuously using a bilateral electrode montage.ResultsDSIP significantly increased heart rate, decreased heart rate variability and paradoxically, significantly reduced delta rhythm along with reducing burst supression and increasing BIS at 25nM kg-1 during isoflurane anaesthesia. DSIP also significantly altered bilateral symmetry of the EEG.ConclusionDSIP probably reduced parasympathetic tone and decreased (lightened) the depth of anaesthesia measured using BIS.
