RESUMO
Background and Objectives: The effect of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on intraocular pressure (IOP) is debatable. There have been no studies investigating the effects of PEEP on IOP during one-lung ventilation (OLV). We aimed to investigate the effects of PEEP on IOP in patients undergoing OLV for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATs). Materials and Methods: Fifty-two patients undergoing VATs were divided into a zero-PEEP (ZEEP) and a 6 cmH2O of PEEP (PEEP) groups. IOP, ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), and respiratory and hemodynamic parameters were measured before induction (T1), immediately following endotracheal intubation (T2), 30 min (T3) and 60 min (T4) after a position change to the lateral decubitus position (LDP) and OLV, and 10 min following two-lung ventilation near the end of the surgery (T5). Results: There was no significant difference in IOP and OPP between the two groups. The IOP of the dependent eye was significantly higher than that of the non-dependent eye during LDP in both groups. Peak inspiratory pressure was significantly higher in the PEEP group than in the ZEEP group at T3-T5. Dynamic compliance was significantly higher in the PEEP group than in the ZEEP group at T2-T5. The ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen was significantly higher in the PEEP group than in the ZEEP group at T4. Conclusions: Applying 6 cmH2O of PEEP did not increase IOP but enhanced dynamic compliance and oxygenation during OLV. These results suggest that 6 cmH2O of PEEP can be safely applied during OLV in LDP.

Background: Assessment the depth of dexmedetomidine sedation using electroencephalographic (EEG) features can improve the quality of procedural sedation. Previous volunteer studies of dexmedetomidine-induced EEG changes need to be validated, and changes in bicoherence spectra during dexmedetomidine sedation has not been revealed yet. We aimed to investigate the dexmedetomidine-induced EEG change using power spectral and bicoherence analyses in the clinical setting. Patients and Methods: Thirty-six patients undergoing orthopedic surgery under spinal anesthesia were enrolled in this study. Dexmedetomidine sedation was conducted by the stepwise increase in target effect site concentration (Ce) while assessing sedation levels. Bispectral index (BIS) and frontal electroencephalography were recorded continuously, and the performance of BIS and changes in power and bicoherence spectra were analyzed with the data from the F3 electrode. Results: The prediction probability values for detecting different sedation levels were 0.847, 0.841, and 0.844 in BIS, 95% spectral edge frequency, and dexmedetomidine Ce, respectively. As the depth of sedation increased, δ power increased, but high ß and γ power decreased significantly (P <0.001). α and spindle power increased significantly under light and moderate sedation (P <0.001 in light vs baseline and deep sedation; P = 0.002 and P <0.001 in moderate sedation vs baseline and deep sedation, respectively). The bicoherence peaks of the δ and α-spindle regions along the diagonal line of the bicoherence matrix emerged during moderate and deep sedation. Peak bicoherence in the δ area showed sedation-dependent increases (29.93%±7.38%, 36.72%±9.70%, 44.88%±12.90%; light, moderate, and deep sedation; P = 0.008 and P <0.001 in light sedation vs moderate and deep sedation, respectively; P = 0.007 in moderate sedation vs deep sedation), whereas peak bicoherence in the α-spindle area did not change (22.92%±4.90%, 24.72%±4.96%, and 26.96%±8.42%, respectively; P=0.053). Conclusions: The increase of δ power and the decrease of high-frequency power were associated with the gradual deepening of dexmedetomidine sedation. The δ bicoherence peak increased with increasing sedation level and can serve as an indicator reflecting dexmedetomidine sedation levels.

Background: Pressure-controlled ventilation volume-guaranteed (PCV-VG) is being increasingly used for ventilation during general anesthesia. Carbon dioxide (CO2) pneumoperitoneum in the Trendelenburg position is routinely used during robot-assisted laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Here, we hypothesized that PCV-VG would reduce peak inspiratory pressure (Ppeak), compared to volume-controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV). Methods: In total, 60 patients were enrolled in this study and randomly assigned to receive VCV, PCV, or PCV-VG. Hemodynamic variables, respiratory variables, and arterial blood gases were measured in the supine position 15 minutes after the induction of anesthesia (T0), 30 and 60 minutes after CO2 pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning (T1 and T2, respectively), and 15 minutes after placement in the supine position at the end of anesthesia (T3). Results: The Ppeak was higher in the VCV group than in the PCV and PCV-VG groups (p=0.011). Mean inspiratory pressure (Pmean) was higher in the PCV and PCV-VG groups than in the VCV group (p<0.001). Dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) was lower in the VCV group than in the PCV and PCV-VG groups (p=0.001). Conclusion: Compared to VCV, PCV and PCV-VG provided lower Ppeak, higher Pmean, and improved Cdyn, without significant differences in hemodynamic variables or arterial blood gas results during robot-assisted laparoscopic gynecologic surgery with Trendelenburg position.

BACKGROUND: Immobilization with cervical spine worsens endotracheal intubation condition. Though various intubation devices have been demonstrated to perform well in oral endotracheal intubation, limited information is available concerning nasotracheal intubation (NTI) in patients with cervical spine immobilization. The present study compared the performance of the C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope with the McCoy laryngoscope for NTI in patients with simulated cervical spine injuries. METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled, study done in a tertiary hospital. Ninety-five patients requiring NTI were included in data analysis: McCoy group (group M, n = 47) or C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope group (group C, n = 48). A Philadelphia neck collar was applied before anesthetic induction to immobilize the cervical spine. Single experienced anesthesiologist performed NTI. The primary outcome was duration of intubation divided by three steps: nose to oropharynx; oropharynx into glottic inlet; and glottic inlet to trachea. Secondary outcomes included glottic view as percentage of glottis opening (POGO) score and Cormack-Lehance (CL) grade, modified nasal intubation-difficulty scale (NIDS) rating, hemodynamic changes before and after intubation, and complications. RESULTS: Total intubation duration was significantly shorter in group C (39.5 ± 11.4 s) compared to group M (48.1 ± 13.9 s). Group C required significantly less time for glottic visualization and endotracheal tube placement in the trachea. More patients in group C had CL grade I and higher POGO scores (P < 0.001, for both measures). No difficulty in NTI (modified NIDS = 0) was more in group C than group M. Hemodynamic changes and incidence of complications were comparable between groups. CONCLUSION: The C-MAC D-Blade videolaryngoscope is an effective tool for NTI in a simulated difficult airway, which improves glottic visualization and shortens intubation time relative to those with McCoy laryngoscope.

WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE: Dexmedetomidine has been a preferred sedative for patients undergoing regional anaesthesia and is mostly administered via conventional zero-order infusion. Recently, a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) model of dexmedetomidine has been published, but no external validation has been reported in clinical trials. We aimed to administer target-controlled infusion (TCI) of dexmedetomidine at the effect-site concentration (Ce) to patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia and investigate the relationship between dexmedetomidine Ce and the sedative effects. METHODS: Forty-five patients scheduled for orthopaedic surgery received spinal anaesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine. After confirmation of sensory block level, we initiated effect-site TCI of dexmedetomidine using Colin's model and assessed sedation levels using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale and bispectral index (BIS) with each stepwise increase in the dexmedetomidine Ce. We used a non-linear mixed-effects model to determine the PD relationships between the dexmedetomidine Ce and sedation level. RESULTS: The dexmedetomidine Ce associated with 50% probability (Ce50 ) of the MOAA/S scale ≤4, 3 and 2 was 0.57, 0.89 and 1.19 ng/mL, respectively. Mean dexmedetomidine Ce when BIS decreased ≤70 was 0.99 ± 0.15 ng/mL. As dexmedetomidine Ce increased, the MOAA/S scale decreased significantly (correlation coefficient [r] = -.832, P < .0001). BIS decreased significantly with increasing dexmedetomidine Ce (r = -.811, P < .0001) and decreasing MOAA/S scale (r = .838, P < .0001). The most common side effects were hypertension (26.67%) and bradycardia (20%). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION: We applied effect-site TCI of dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing spinal anaesthesia for the first time. Dexmedetomidine Ce correlated significantly with MOAA/S scale and BIS, and was 0.89 and 1.19 ng/mL for moderate and deep sedation, respectively.

BACKGROUND: Most depth of anesthesia (DOA) monitors rely on the temporal characteristics of a single-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) and cannot provide spatial or connectivity information. Phase lag entropy (PLE) reflects DOA by calculating diverse connectivity from temporal patterns of phase relationships. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of PLE and bispectral index (BIS) monitors for assessing DOA during anesthesia induction, nerve integrity monitoring (NIM), and anesthesia emergence. METHODS: Thirty-five patients undergoing elective thyroid surgery with recurrent laryngeal nerve NIM received propofol and remifentanil via target-controlled infusion. After applying PLE and BIS monitors, propofol infusion was initiated at a calculated effect site concentration (Ce) of 2 µg/mL and then increased in 1-µg/mL Ce increments. After propofol Ce reached 5 µ/mL, a remifentanil infusion was begun, and anesthesia induction was considered complete. During NIM, PLE and BIS values were compared at a specific time points from platysma muscle exposure to subcutaneous tissue closure. PLE and BIS values were recorded continuously from preanesthetic state to full recovery of orientation; bias and limits of agreement between monitors were calculated. RESULTS: PLE and BIS values decreased progressively with increasing propofol Ce during anesthetic induction and increased by stages during emergence. The prediction probabilities of PLE and BIS for detecting propofol Ce changes were 0.750 and 0.756, respectively, during induction and 0.749 and 0.746, respectively, during emergence. No aberrant PLE or BIS values occurred during NIM. Correlation coefficients for BIS and PLE were 0.98 and 0.92 during induction and emergence, respectively. PLE values were significantly higher than BIS values at full recovery of orientation. Estimated bias between monitors was -4.16 ± 8.7, and 95% limits of agreement were -21.21 to 12.89. CONCLUSION: PLE is a reasonable alternative to BIS for evaluating consciousness and DOA during general anesthesia and during NIM.

Laparoscopic surgery is often prolonged and requires positional changes to facilitate surgical access. Previous studies reported intraocular pressure (IOP) changes in one fixed position. This study investigated the effect of desflurane and propofol anesthesia on IOP during repeated positional changes. A total of 46 patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery were randomized into desflurane or propofol groups. IOP was measured using a handheld tonometer at seven time points: before induction (baseline), after endotracheal intubation, after pneumoperitoneum, after the first Trendelenburg and right tilt position, after reverse Trendelenburg and right tilt position, after the second Trendelenburg and right tilt position and before endotracheal extubation. Trendelenburg positioning raised IOP in both groups. In the desflurane group, IOP at the first Trendelenburg position was 6.27 and 8.48 mmHg higher than baseline IOP in left and right eye, respectively; IOP at the second Trendelenburg position was 7 and 9.44 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eye, respectively. In the propofol group, IOP at the first Trendelenburg position was 2.04 and 4.04 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eyes, respectively. It was 3.04 and 4.87 mmHg higher than baseline in left and right eye, respectively, at the second Trendelenburg position. In the desflurane group, 56.52% patients exhibited high IOP (≥ 25 mmHg) compared with 13.04% in the propofol group at the second Trendelenburg position in the right eyes (P = 0.005). There was a positive correlation between IOP and peak inspiratory pressure (P < 0.001). Propofol anesthesia mitigated wide variations in IOP caused by repetitive positional changes during laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a pivotal mediator of sepsis progression. Remifentanil, an opioid agonist, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects in septic mice. However, it is not yet known whether remifentanil affects the expression of HMGB1. We investigated the effects of remifentanil on HMGB1 expression and the underlying mechanism in septic rats. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups; a sham group, a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, and a CLP with remifentanil treatment (Remi) group. The rat model of CLP was used to examine plasma concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines, tissue HMGB1 mRNA and the activity of nuclear factor (NF)-κB in the liver, lungs, kidneys, and ileum. Pathologic changes and immunohistochemical staining of NF-κB in the liver, lungs, and kidneys tissue were observed. We found that remifentanil treatment suppressed the level of serum interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α 6 hours after CLP, and serum HMGB1 24 hours after CLP. HMGB1 mRNA levels and the activity of NF-κB in multiple organs decreased by remifentanil treatment 24 hours after CLP. Remifentanil treatment also attenuated nuclear expression of NF-κB in immunohistochemical staining and mitigated pathologic changes in multiple organs. Altogether, these results suggested that remifentanil inhibited expression of HMGB1 in vital organs and release of HMGB1 into plasma. The mechanism was related to the inhibitory effect of remifentanil on the release of proinflammatory cytokines and activation of NF-κB.

Background: Although pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic models of remimazolam have been developed, their clinical application remains limited. This study aimed to administer a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remimazolam at the effect-site concentration (Ce) in patients undergoing general anesthesia and to investigate the relationship of the remimazolam Ce with sedative effects and with recovery from general anesthesia. Methods: Fifty patients aged 20-75 years, scheduled for minimally invasive surgery under general anesthesia for less than 2 h, were enrolled. Anesthesia was induced and maintained using Schüttler's model for effect-site TCI of remimazolam. During induction, the remimazolam Ce was increased stepwise, and sedation levels were assessed using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale and bispectral index (BIS). Following attainment of MOAA/S scale 1, continuous infusion of remifentanil was commenced, and rocuronium (0.6 mg/kg) was administered for endotracheal intubation. The target Ce of remimazolam and the remifentanil infusion rate were adjusted to maintain a BIS between 40 and 70 and a heart rate within 20% of the baseline value. Approximately 5 min before surgery completion, the target Ce of remimazolam was reduced by 20-30%, and anesthetic infusion ceased at the end of surgery. Nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was employed to develop pharmacodynamic models for each sedation level as well as emergence from anesthesia. Results: The remimazolam Ces associated with 50% probability (Ce50) of reaching MOAA/S scale ≤4, 3, 2, and 1 were 0.302, 0.397, 0.483, and 0.654 µg/mL, respectively. The Ce50 values for recovery of responsiveness (ROR) and endotracheal extubation were 0.368 and 0.345 µg/mL, respectively. The prediction probabilities of Ce and BIS for detecting changes in sedation level were 0.797 and 0.756, respectively. The sedation scale significantly correlated with remimazolam Ce (r = -0.793, P < 0.0001) and BIS (r = 0.914, P < 0.0001). Age significantly correlated with Ce at MOAA/S1 and ROR. Conclusion: Effect-site TCI of remimazolam was successfully performed in patients undergoing general anesthesia. The remimazolam Ce significantly correlated with sedation depth. The Ce50 for MOAA/S scale ≤1 and ROR were determined to be 0.654 and 0.368 µg/mL, respectively.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the optimum dosage of dexmedetomidine for prevention of postanesthetic shivering. METHODS: One-hundred thirty two ASA physical status I-II patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic total hysterectomy were enrolled in this randomised, placebo-controlled study. Patients were randomly allocated to receive dexmedetomidine in four groups: group S (0.9% normal saline), group D0.5 (dexmedetomidine 0.5 µg/kg), group D0.75 (dexmedetomidine 0.75 µg/kg), group D1.0 (dexmedetomidine 1.0 µg/kg). Time to extubation and tympanic temperature during and after operation were measured. Shivering was graded (0-3 scale) upon patients arrival to the PACU and every ten minutes thereafter up to forty minutes. Sedation and first rescue analgesic time at the PACU were evaluated. RESULTS: The incidence of shivering was significantly lower in group D0.75 and D1.0 than in group S (P < 0.05). There were significantly fewer patients with a shivering score of 2 or 3 in groups D0.75 and D1.0 than in group S (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). Extubation time was shorter in group S than in groups D0.75 and D1.0 (P < 0.05). Tympanic temperature at 40 minutes postoperatively in the recovery room was higher in group S than in the other dexmedetomidine groups (P < 0.05) Fewer patients required rescue analgesia in groups D0.75 and D1.0 than in group S (P < 0.001), and the time to rescue analgesia was longer in group D1.0 than in group S (P < 0.001). Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) at arrival in the PACU was lower in all dexmedetomidine groups than in group S (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that dexmedetomidine 0.75 or 1.0 µg/kg provides effective prophylaxis against postoperative shivering as well as an analgesic effect. Though potential for intraoperative requirement for atropine, sedation in the immediate recovery period and delayed extubation time with dexmedetomidine was noted, there were no major clinical impacts on the overall recovery from anesthesia.

Background: Pregnancy is associated with thyroid nodule formation and increased size. However, an acute increase in thyroid cysts during cesarean section is unusual. Case Description: We describe the case of a 23-year-old primiparous woman at 37 weeks of gestation, without a history of thyroid disease, who underwent a cesarean section under general anesthesia. When the baby was delivered after induction of general anesthesia, the patient's airway pressure increased by approximately 5-7 mmHg, and her blood pressure increased to 170/78 mmHg. After delivery of the baby, the mother's anterior region of the neck began to swell, and ultrasonography revealed a large cystic mass. Even after aspiration of approximately 120 mL of dark brown intra-cystic fluid, the neck swelled again. Airway and blood pressure decreased after delivery and remained within the normal range until the end of surgery. Computed tomography performed after recovery from anesthesia revealed an approximately 320 mL-sized hemorrhagic cyst in the left thyroid gland with right tracheal deviation. Despite repeated aspirations and two alcohol ablations, the cyst's size increased rapidly, and the patient underwent radiofrequency ablation. Conclusions: This case indicates that rapid increases in intrathoracic and blood pressure could precipitate a rapid increase in pre-existing thyroid cysts in a parturient during delivery.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) improves long-term outcomes after cancer surgery compared with inhalation anesthesia. However, its effect on patients undergoing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgery remains unclear. We aimed to compare the oncological outcomes of TIVA and inhalation anesthesia after curative resection of early-stage NSCLC. METHODS: We analyzed the medical records of patients diagnosed with stage I or II NSCLC who underwent curative resection at a tertiary university hospital between January 2010 and December 2017. The primary outcomes were recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) according to anesthesia type. RESULTS: We included 1,508 patients with stage I/II NSCLC. The patients were divided into the TIVA (n = 980) and Inhalation (n = 528) groups. The two groups were well-balanced in terms of baseline clinical characteristics. The TIVA group demonstrated significantly improved RFS (7.7 years, 95% CI [7.37, 8.02]) compared with the Inhalation group (6.8 years, 95% CI [6.30, 7.22], P = 0.003). Similarly, TIVA was superior to inhalation agents with respect to OS (median OS; 8.4 years, 95% CI [8.08, 8.69] vs. 7.3 years, 95% CI [6.81, 7.71]; P < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that TIVA was an independent prognostic factor related to recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.24, 95% CI [1.04, 1.47], P = 0.014) and OS (HR: 1.39, 95% CI [1.12, 1.72], P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: Propofol-based TIVA was associated with better RFS and OS than inhalation anesthesia in patients with stage I/II NSCLC who underwent curative resection.

Etomidate is an anesthetic agent used in hemodynamically unstable patients, but its use has been controversial in septic patients. The response of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a late-phase lethal cytokine in sepsis, to etomidate has not been reported. This study investigated the effects of etomidate on the expression and release of HMGB1 and the underlying mechanism using a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) model. Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham, CLP, and Etomi groups. Sepsis was induced in the CLP and Etomi groups, and intravenous etomidate (4 mg/kg) was infused for 40 min immediately after operation in the Etomi group. Serum creatinine, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and HMGB1 levels were measured 6 and 24 hours after surgery. Activation of nuclear factor (NF)-ĸB and HMGB1 mRNA expression in the liver, lung, kidney, and ileum tissues were measured, and immunohistochemical staining of HMGB1 was implemented. Increases of the TNF-α level 6 h after CLP and ALT and IL-6 levels 24 h after CLP were significantly inhibited by etomidate treatment. Etomidate treatment also significantly attenuated the increase in serum HMGB1 level at 6 and 24 h after CLP and suppressed the NF-ĸB and HMGB1 mRNA in multiple organs 24 h after CLP. Immunohistochemical staining also revealed that etomidate treatment inhibited HMGB1 expression. Etomidate inhibited the systemic release of HMGB1 and its expression in various organs. The mechanism may be associated with the inhibitory effects of etomidate on pro-inflammatory cytokine release and NF-ĸB activity.

BACKGROUND: Inserting a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) poses more challenge than inserting a single-lumen tube. The C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope is a useful alternative to the direct laryngoscope. However, no study has compared its performance with that of the McCoy laryngoscope, which has a hyperangulated blade tip similar to that of the C-MAC D-blade. We aimed to compare the performance of the C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope with that of the McCoy laryngoscope in DLT intubation. METHODS: In this prospective randomized controlled study, 90 patients requiring DLT intubation were randomly allocated to either the C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope group (group C, nâ =â 47) or McCoy laryngoscope group (group M, nâ =â 43). During intubation, the percentage of glottic opening, modified Cormack-Lehane grade, time taken for intubation, malposition of the bronchial lumen, and hemodynamic parameters were recorded. After intubation, we assessed the intubation difficulty scale score and, a postoperative sore throat in the recovery room. RESULTS: The time taken for intubation was 35.85â ±â 10.77 seconds and 33.18â ±â 11.97 seconds in groups C and M, respectively (Pâ =â .269). The modified Cormack-Lehane grade was significantly lower in group C than in group M (Pâ =â .000). Percentage of glottic opening was significantly higher in group C (79.36â ±â 13.42%) than in group M (53.49â ±â 29.83%) (Pâ =â .000). The intubation difficulty scale score was significantly lower in group C than in group M (Pâ =â .030). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of malposition status, hemodynamic parameters, or visual analog scale score for a postoperative sore throat. CONCLUSION: Although the time taken for intubation was comparable between the 2 intubation devices, the C-MAC D-blade videolaryngoscope facilitated glottis visualization and reduced the intubation difficulty scale better than the McCoy laryngoscope in patients undergoing DLT intubation.

Glucocorticoid preparations, adreno-cortical steroids, with strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects, are widely used for treating various diseases. The number of patients exposed to steroid therapy prior to surgery is increasing. When these patients present for surgery, the anesthesiologist must decide whether to administer perioperative steroid supplementation. Stress-dose glucocorticoid administration is required during the perioperative period because of the possibility of failure of cortisol secretion to cope with the increased cortisol requirement due to surgical stress, adrenal insufficiency, hemodynamic instability, and the possibility of adrenal crisis. Therefore, glucocorticoids should be supplemented at the same level as that of normal physiological response to surgical stress by evaluating the invasiveness of surgery and inhibition of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. Various textbooks and research articles recommend the stress-dose of glucocorticoids during perioperative periods. It has been commonly suggested that glucocorticoids should be administered in an amount equivalent to about 100 mg of cortisol for major surgery because it induces approximately 5 times the normal secretion. However, more studies, with appropriate power, regarding the administration of stress-dose glucocorticoids are still required, and evaluation of patients with possible adrenal insufficiency and appropriate glucocorticoid administration based on surgical stress will help improve the prognosis.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Tension pneumothorax on the contralateral lung during one-lung ventilation (OLV) can be life-threatening if not rapidly diagnosed and managed. However, diagnosis is often delayed because the classic signs of tension pneumothorax are similar to clinical manifestations commonly observed during OLV. CASE: We report a case of contralateral tension pneumothorax in a patient undergoing right upper lobectomy during OLV. The patient suffered from sudden cardiac arrest and was assisted by extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. CONCLUSIONS: Contralateral pneumothorax during OLV is rare but can occur at any time. Therefore, anesthesiologists should consider this critical complication.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of deliberate hypotensive anesthesia on intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) and compare the effects of propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and desflurane anesthesia on IOP and OPP. METHODS: A total of 50 patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the lateral decubitus position were randomized to receive desflurane or propofol anesthesia. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained in the range of 60-75 mm Hg during hypotensive anesthesia. IOP was measured using a handheld tonometer at 7 time points: before induction (T1, baseline); immediately after endotracheal intubation (T2); 10âminutes after position change to lateral decubitus (T3); 10, 30, and 50âminutes after the start of hypotensive anesthesia (T4-T6); and at the end of surgery (T7). RESULTS: MAP decreased about 35% to 38% during hypotensive anesthesia. Compared to baseline values, the IOP at T6 in dependent and non-dependent eyes decreased by 0.43 and 2.74 mm Hg, respectively in desflurane group; 3.61 and 6.05 mm Hg, respectively in the propofol group. IOP of both eyes in the propofol group was significantly lower than in the desflurane group from T2 to T7. OPP of both eyes in both groups was significantly lower than at baseline, except at T2 in the desflurane group. OPP of both eyes in the propofol group was significantly higher than that in the desflurane group at T5 and T6. CONCLUSIONS: Hypotensive anesthesia reduced IOP and OPP, but propofol TIVA maintained higher OPP than desflurane anesthesia. These findings suggest that propofol TIVA can help mitigate the decrease of OPP during hypotensive anesthesia.

BACKGROUND: Adjuvant perineural dexmedetomidine can be used to prolong the analgesic effect of interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB). We investigated the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine in ISB for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS: One hundred patients scheduled for elective shoulder arthroscopic surgery were enrolled in this randomized, double-blind study. Ultrasound-guided ISB was performed before general anesthesia using 22 mL of ropivacaine 0.5% combined with 1, 1.5, or 2âµg/kg of dexmedetomidine (group D1, D2, and D3, respectively) or with normal saline as a control (group R, nâ=â25 per group). The primary outcome was the duration of analgesia (DOA), numeric pain rating scale (NRS), and consumption of additional analgesics during 36âh after ISB. Secondary outcome included durations of motor and sensory block (DOM and DOS), hemodynamic variables and sedation and dyspnea scores. RESULTS: Ninety-seven patients completed the study. The DOS, DOM, and DOA were significantly longer in the dexmedetomidine groups than in group R. The DOA was significantly longer in group D3 than in groups D1 (Pâ=â.026) and D2 (Pâ=â.039). The DOA was 808.13â±â179.97, 1032.60â±â288.14, 1042.04â±â188.13, and 1223.96â±â238.06âmin in groups R, D1, D2, and D3, respectively. The NRS score was significantly higher in group R than in the dexmedetomidine groups 12âh after ISB (Pâ<â.001) and significantly lower in group D3 than in the other groups 18âh after ISB (Pâ=â.02). The incidence of hypotension was higher in groups D2 and D3 than in group R during surgery (Pâ=â.008 and Pâ=â.011, respectively). There were no significant differences in consumption of rescue analgesics, sedation, and dyspnea scores between the study groups. CONCLUSION: Perineural dexmedetomidine 2âµg/kg could be the optimal dose in ISB for arthroscopic shoulder surgery in that it provides an adequate DOA. However, this dose was associated with increased risk of hypotension.
