ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the sedative and analgesic effect of remazolam combined with sufentanil during ultrasound-guided nerve block in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who underwent orthopedic surgery in our hospital from January to June 2023 were selected.They were randomly assigned to two groups with 40 cases in each group.In anesthesia preparation room,one group was injected intravenously 10 ml remazolam(0.15 mg/kg)+ sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(R group)and the other group was injected intravenously 10 ml normal saline +sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg(S group).Ultrasound-guided nerve block was performed 2 min later.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)of the two groups were observed during the process of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection.Whether there was any discomfort or body movement during the nerve block process were recorded.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,and pulse oxygen saturation were measured at baseline,5 min after intravenous injection,nerve block injection,and 10 min after nerve block.Adverse reactions were noted.Results The VAS scores of the R group were 0 point at the time of postural position,nerve block puncture and drug injection,which were significantly lower than those of the S group(all P =0.000).The incidence of sore swelling,electrical sensation,and pain at the time of nerve block of the R group were lower than those of the S group(P<0.05).The incidence of transient glossoptosis of the R group was higher than that of the S group(6 cases vs.0 case,P =0.026).The MAP before and after nerve block in the S group remained at a high level(>95 mm Hg),and the highest MAP appeared at the time point of nerve block;while the MAP of the R group decreased and remained at 80-90 mm Hg after sedation.Conclusion Remazolam combined with sufentanil can provide safe,painless,fear free"comfort medical service"for nerve block sedation and analgesia in anesthesia preparation room,and does not increase the risk of nerve injury and local anesthetic poisoning.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of L4 transverse process erector spinae plane block(ESPB)before general anesthesia hip surgery in elderly patients on reducing perioperative pain and stress,thus reducing opioid consumption and improving postoperative recovery quality.Methods Sixty patients aged 65 years old and above who underwent unilateral hip surgery from January to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups(n = 30)by using the random number table method.The ESPB group received ultrasound-guided ESPB at the L4 level with 0.3%ropivacaine(0.5 ml/kg)before induction of anesthesia,while the control group did not receive ESPB.Laryngeal mask anesthesia was administered in both groups.The induction and maintenance methods were consistent in both groups.The Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)was used to evaluate the degree of pain at 8 h and 24 h after surgery.The times of pressing analgesic pump within 24 h after surgery were recorded.The hemodynamic changes at each time point during the operation were observed.The time interval from the end of the operation to the complete recovery and to remove the laryngeal mask were recorded.Intraoperative and Postanesthesia Care Unit(PACU)opioid consumption were noted.The incidence of postoperative agitation,postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV),dizziness,and the recovery quality score were compared.Results The NRS scores of rest pain and motion pain at 8 h and 24 h after surgery were significantly lower in the ESPB group than those in the control group,and the times of pressing the analgesic pump within 24 h after surgery in the ESPB group was significantly less than that in the control group(P<0.05).The mean arterial pressure(MAP)of the ESPB group at 20 min after peeling was lower than that of the control group[(87.2±15.5)mm Hg vs.(96.7±16.9)mm Hg,P = 0.026].The sufentanil consumption,remifentanil consumption,and the number of cases using urapidil in the ESPB group were significantly lower than those in the control group[12.5(10.0,14.0)μg vs.12.5(12.5,17.5)μg,P =0.041;270(100,400)μg vs.600(448,800)μg,P<0.001;1 case vs.11 cases,P =0.001].The Steward score at30 min after entering PACU was significantly higher in the ESPB group than in the control group[6(5,6)points vs.5(4,5)points,P<0.001].There was no statistical significance in incidence of postoperative agitation,PONV,and dizziness between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Preoperative ESPB at the level of the L4 transverse process can reduce the pain score within 24 h after surgery,reduce the amount of opioid used during and after hip surgery,and improve the quality of postoperative recovery in the elderly.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of intubation laryngeal mask in laparoscopic anesthesia for elderly patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 80 patients ( ASA Ⅱ -Ⅲ) over 70 years old undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal and gallbladder surgery from March 2014 to February 2015 were selected.They were randomly divided into the intubating laryngeal mask group ( ILMA group) or endotracheal tube group ( ET group) , with 40 patients in each group.After the intubation, the two groups were anesthetized with remifentanil by target-controlled infusion ( TCI ) and sevoflurane inhalation.The ILMA group was inserted matching laryngeal mask to control respiratory ventilation and deepened to the proper depth of anesthesia.An endotracheal tube were inserted through the mask 5 min later, and then the breath was controlled via transtracheal catheter to maintain anesthesia.The ET group was inserted tracheal intubation after induction, and then the breath was controlled until extubation after the recovery of the tracheal extubation after surgery.The heart rate (HR), blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and bispectral index (BIS) were recorded at time points of before induction (T0), laryngeal mask or endotracheal tube insertion (T1), after endotracheal tube insertion (T2), skin incision (T3), beginning tissue dissection or entry of laparoscope (T4), resection of organs or tissues (T5), and tracheal extubation ( T6 ) , respectively.In addition, the recovery time, the recovery of spontaneous breathing, complications during the recovery time, such as restlessness, nausea and vomiting, were observed and compared. Results There were significant differences in HR, SBP, DBP, BIS between the two groups and among different time points (P=0.000).At time points of before operation ( T0 -T2 ) and anesthesia maintaining stage ( T3 -T6 ) , the HR, SBP, DBP and BIS were stable in both groups.At the time points of after endotracheal intubation ( T2 ) and extubation ( T6 ) , the ET group had significantly increased HR, SBP, and DBP, which were higher than the ILMA group (P<0.05).At the time point of T6, the BIS values were significantly increased in the ET group than the ILMA group (P<0.05).On postoperative recovery quality, the time from anesthesia to spontaneous breathing recovery and from end of surgery to call to open eyes was significantly longer in the ET group than the LIMA group [(130.1 ±26.1) min vs. (96.4 ±24.5) min, t=5.94, P=0.000;(16.1 ±2.7) min vs.(5.5 ±2.2) min, t=19.07, P=0.000]. Conclusion For elderly patients with hypertension undergoing laparoscopic surgery, use of intubation laryngeal mask for anesthesia is more stable and has less adverse cardiovascular reactions, with good outcomes of anesthesia recovery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of age on the median-effective target plasma concentration (EC50) of propofol inhibiting body movement evoked by gastroscopy in the patients.Methods Ninety adult patients of both sexes,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,with body mass index 19-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gastroscopy,were divided into 3 groups according to age (n =30 each):18-39 yr group (Ⅰ group),40-64 yr group (Ⅱ group) and 65-85 yr group (Ⅲ group).In Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ groups,propofol was given by target-controlled infusion with the initial target concentrations of 2.5,2.0 and 1.5 μg/ml,respectively,and gastroscopy was performed when the target concentration was achieved.Body movement was defined as the directional movement in head or four extremities during gastroscopy.The target plasma concentration of propofol was determined by up-and-down sequential trial.Each time the plasma concentration of propofol increased/decreased by 0.5 μg/ml in the next patient depending on whether or not body movement developed.The EC50 and 95 ％ confidence interval of propofol inhibiting gastroscopy-evoked body movement were determined using Probit analysis.Results The EC50 (95 ％ confidence interval) of propofol was 4.2(3.8-4.5),4.1(3.7-4.4) and 2.4(1.8-2.7) μg/ml in Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups,respectively.There was no significant difference in the EC50 of propofol between group Ⅱ and group Ⅰ.The EC50 of propofol was significantly lower in group Ⅲ than in Ⅰ and Ⅱ groups.Conclusion Age affects propofol-induced analgesia in patients with visceral pain,and the potency of propofol inhibiting visceral pain during gastroscopy in the elderly patients is significantly enhanced as compared with that in the young and middle-aged patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective Replacement of dexmedetomidine with propofol for maintaining the anes-thesia in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Ninety patients,over 70 years old,undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups,propofol combined with remifentanil (group A),dexmedetomidine combined with remifentanil (group B),45 patients in each group.Group A was not treated with any preoperative medication,while group B was treated with loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine intravenously completed within 10 minutes. Induction methods were same in both groups,3 # or 4 # laryngeal mask were inserted after induction in both groups.Maintenance of anesthesia in group A treated with propofol 2.0-3.0 μg/ml + 4.5-5.5 ng/ml TCI;Maintenance of anesthesia in group B treated with dexmedetomidine 0.25 μg·kg-1·h-1 +remifentanil 4.5-5.5 ng/ml (TCI).HR,SBP,DBP,BIS were recorded at inserting the LMA (T1 ), beginning of the surgery (T2 ),dissociate the cholecyst (T3 ),withdrawal of the laparoscope (T4 ), extubate the LMA (T5 ).Postoperative recovery time,Steward awakening score and modified OAA/S score at extubation time were recorded.Results No significant difference was found between BIS val-ue of two groups at different time point.Compared with group A,HR at T1-T5 in group B were sig-nificantly lower,SBP,DBP were significantly decreased (P <0.05).There was no significant differ-ence between Steward awakening score and modified OAA/S score at recovery and extubation time in two groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine replacing propofol can be safely used in laparoscopic chole-cystectomy with less hemodynamic changes during maintenance of anesthesia in elderly patients.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of sevoflurane or propofol combined with remifentanil during the maintenance of general anesthesia in thyroid gland surgery.MethodsSixty patients underwent thyroid gland surgery were randomly divided into tow groups.Once the larynx mask was intubated, anesthesia was maintained with propofol(the effect site concentration was 2.5 ～3.5mg/L) and remifentanil(the effect site concentration was 4.5 ～5.5μg/L) by TCI technique in group P,but with sevoflurane(2％～4％) and remfentanil(the effect site concentration was 2.5 ～4.0g/L)in group S.The depth of anesthesia was measured by the A-line TM AEP Monitor which expressed as A-Line ARX Index TM(AAI).All patients' SBP,DBP and HR were recorded at eight time points: before induction time(T0) ,after induction but before larynx mask intubation time(T1) ,intubate larynx mask time(T2) ,cut skin time (T3), separate thyroid gland time (T4), cut thyroid gland time (T5), remove larynx mask time (T6) ,leave the operation room time(T7).The emergency time,the conscious of the patients after anesthesia and the side effects were also recorded.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the groups with respect to age,gender,weight,the duration of operation,the emergency time and the conscious of the patients after anesthesia.SBP,DBP,HR of the patients in both groups showed no significant difference at T0,T1 ,T2, T3 (all P ＞ 0.05), but had significant difference at T4,T5,T6, T7 (all P ＜ 0.05).Compare with group P,the incidentce of restlessness, dizziness, drowsiness, rigor and pain was significantly lower in group S(all P ＜0.05).The incidentce of nausea,vomit and aspiration did not appear in both groups.ConclusionBoth groups showed good anesthesia effects and the patients also emerged from anesthesia quickly.But the anesthesia maintained with sevoflurane and remifentanil could bring more stable hemodynamics and lower incidence rate of the side effects.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of patient's tolerance to laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and tracheal tube (TT) on the appropriate level of sevoflurane anesthesia.Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 30-60 yr weighing 50-70 kg undergoing elective thyroid or breast surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=40 each):LMA group and TT group.Anesthesia wag induced with propofol 1.6mg/kg,fentanyl 3μg/kg and recuronium 0.6mg/kg.LMA or tracheal tube was inserted,and the patients were mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 1.5%-3.0% sevoflurane and 50% N2O in O2 in group LMA,and with 2.5%-5.0% sevoflurane and 50% N2O in O2 in group TT.The flow of O2 and N2O was 0.7-1.0L/min,and the concentration of sevofluranee was adjusted to maintain AAI at 15-25.ECG,HR,MAP,SpO2,PETCO2,AEP and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration were continuonsly monitored.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was recorded at 1,5 and 10 min after LMA/TT was placed (T1-3),at 1h after skin incision (T4) and at the end of operation before removal of LMA or extubation (T5).The recovery time of consciousness,adverse cardiovascular events and adverse reactions were recorded.Results The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was significantly lower,the recovery time of consciousness and removal of LMA or extubation time were shorter,and the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and adverse reactions was lower in LMA group than in TT group.Conclusion At the same depth of anesthesia (AAI 15-25),sevoflurane concentration is significantly lower in LMA group than in TT group,with fewer complications and smaller cardiovascular reaction.
