高龄患者心肺等器官功能均有不同程度减退，加之食管病变长期进食困难，多伴有营养不良及代谢紊乱，因此，对麻醉提出了较高的要求。七氟醚具有诱导快、苏醒快、麻醉深度易调节、对循环抑制轻等优点，我院将七氟醚一芬太尼复合麻醉应用于高龄食管癌手术122例，取得满意效果，现 The function of organs such as heart and lungs in elderly patients has been reduced to varying degrees. In addition, long-term feeding of esophageal lesions is difficult, and malnutrition and metabolic disorders are often associated with them. Therefore, higher requirements are placed on anesthesia. Sevoflurane has the advantages of rapid induction, rapid recovery, easy adjustment of the depth of anesthesia, and mild inhibition of circulation. Our hospital applied sevoflurane-fentanyl combined anesthesia to 122 cases of esophageal cancer in elderly patients with satisfactory results.
