A comparative study was made of the circulatory conditions during ESA via paravertebral electrodes and halothane anaesthesias and neurolept analgesia. During 654 operations (cholecystectomies, struma-surgery, vein by-pass grafting and varicotomies) heart rate and mean arterial pressure before the onset of anaesthesia and the highest intraoperative measured rates were compared. The same parameters after intubation/before the start of the operation respectively before and after the start of the operation were compared with regard to the specific type of anaesthesia. Before the start of surgery no marked reactions of the circulatory system were observed during ESA compared to other anaesthesia techniques. No difference in heart rate and mean arterial pressure were found during the start of the operation with the different anaesthetic techniques. For struma surgery the reaction of the circulatory system during ESA was significantly better than in halothane anaesthesia while during surgery of the upper abdomen and vein by-pass grafting in ESA patients there were significantly greater rises in heart rate and mean arterial pressure.

Needling of acupuncture points combined with mechanical or electrical stimulation is insufficient for analgesia for surgical interventions. Therefore a new concept of anesthesia was developed: Electrostimulation has been combined with induction of anesthesia, relaxation and controlled ventilation with a mixture of N2O/O2. We have used this method of anesthesia in patients undergoing retinal and vitreous surgery. Our stimulation has been done by self-adhesive electrodes placed bilaterally in the area of trigeminal nerve and cervical plexus. The aim of this study was to investigate the stress response under electrostimulation anesthesia compared with neurolept anesthesia. Therefore the plasma concentrations of adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol and some metabolic parameters (glucose, glycerol, NEFA, ketone bodies) as well as heart rate and arterial blood pressure were measured before, during and after surgery. The changes in the parameters under surgery showed that ESA induces a higher stress reaction than NLA. The differences between the two groups are not significant.
