ABSTRACT
Introducción: es bien sabido que el neumoperitoneo en cirugía laparoscópica afecta tanto al sistema cardiovascular como al sistema respiratorio, pero no se entiende por completo el grado en el que debemos modificar los parámetros ventilatorios para mini-mizar las complicaciones debido a la insuflación del neumoperitoneo. Estos cambios in-cluyen disminución de la distensibilidad y mayores presiones inspiratorias pico.
Abstract Background: it is well known that pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic surgery affects both cardiovascular and respiratory system, but it is not fully understood yet the degree in which we have to make changes in the ventilatory settings to minimize the complica-tions due to insufflation of peritoneum, changes including impaired compliance and hig-her peak inspiratory.

Introducción: la mayoría de los pacientes que se someten a cirugía torácica pueden ser clasificados en el grupo de alto riesgo para hipoxia, especialmente cuando se decide por una ventilación unipulmonar, debido al desequilibrio V/Q; por lo tanto, se han desa-rrollado nuevas estrategias ventilatorias y maniobras de rescate para hipoxia. Curso clínico: presentamos una paciente de 85 años de edad sin comorbilidades programada para toracotomía abierta y manejada con ventilación unipulmonar. Durante el mane-jo anestésico, se presenta hipoxia secundaria a desequilibrio V/Q y choque hipovolémi-co hemorrágico, con respuesta positiva a las maniobras de rescate para hipoxia. Con-clusión: es importante prevenir en la medida de lo posible la hipoxia en la ventilación unipulmonar, siguiendo las nuevas estrategias ventilatorias. Sin embargo, cuando se presenta una crisis, no debemos retrasar las maniobras de rescate de forma moderna. (AU)
Introduction: most of the patients undergoing thoracic surgery fit in the high risk group for hypoxia, especially when deciding to use one-lung ventilation due to the V/Q mis-match; therefore, new ventilation strategies and hypoxia rescue manoeuvres have been developed. Clinical course: we present an 85-year old female with no major co-morbidities scheduled for open thoracotomy and managed with one-lung ventilation. During the course of the anaesthetic management, hypoxia presents secondary to V/Q mismatch and haemorrhagic hypovolemic shock, with a positive response to hypoxia rescue manoeuvres. Conclusion: it is important to prevent as much as we can the hy-poxia in a one-lung ventilation following the new ventilation strategies. Although when facing a crisis, proper hypoxia management with a modern approach should not be de-layed. (AU)

Abstract Background: Service quality in anesthesiology has been frequently measured by morbidity and mortality. This measure increasingly considers patient satisfaction, which is the result of care from the client's perspective. Therefore, anesthesiologists must be able to build relationships with patients, provide understandable information and involve them in decisions about their anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the peri-anesthetic care provided by the anesthesia service in an ambulatory surgery unit using the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire to evaluate 1211 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. We selected questions that showed a greater degree of dissatisfaction and correlated them with patient characterization data (age, sex, education, and ASA physical status), anesthesia data (type, time, and prior experience), and surgical specialty. Results: Questions in which patients tended to show dissatisfaction involved fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain. Conclusion: The Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire proved to be a useful tool in identifying points of dissatisfaction, mainly fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain in the population studied. These were correlated with patient, anesthesia, and surgical variables. This allows the establishment of priorities at the different points of care, with the ultimate goal of improving patient satisfaction regarding anesthesia care.

Abstract Stenting for lower tracheal stenosis is a tricky situation and for the safe conduct of anesthesia, it is imperative to maintain spontaneous respiration. Airway topicalization is routinely recommended for anticipated difficult airway. We report a case of upper airway obstruction following lidocaine nebulization in a patient to be taken for tracheal stenting for lower tracheal stenosis. We would like to highlight that close monitoring of the patient is advisable during airway topicalization to detect any airway obstruction at the earliest and how fiberoptic intubation can play a pivotal role to secure the airway in an emergency scenario.

The aim of this study was to observed the anesthetic efficacy of the alveolar nerve block on nine patients that CBCT diagnosed unilateral retromolar canal on a double-blind, split-mouth approach. The assessments of patient response to thermal (pulp vitality test) and pressure (compression of soft tissue) stimuli were carried out before and 5 minutes after the inferior alveolar nerve block procedure, using both visual analog scale (VAS) and Mc Gill pain questionnaires (McG). The mean percentage of patient response decreased after alveolar nerve block, according to both VAS and McG, and was statistically similar among hemi mandibles with and without retromolar canal (Wilcoxon>0.05); however, those without retromolar canal presented greater reduction in patient response in 6 out of 9 cases. Therefore, the retromolar canal is not a determinant factor of inferior alveolar nerve block failure.
El objetivo de este estudio fue observar la eficacia anestésica del bloqueo del nervio alveolar en nueve pacientes que CBCT diagnosticó canal retromolar unilateral en un abordaje de boca dividida doble ciego. Las evaluaciones de la respuesta del paciente a los estímulos térmicos (prueba de vitalidad pulpar) y de presión (compresión de los tejidos blandos) se realizaron antes y 5 minutos después del procedimiento de bloqueo del nervio alveolar inferior, utilizando tanto la escala analógica visual (VAS) como los cuestionarios de dolor de Mc Gill ( McG). El porcentaje medio de respuesta de los pacientes disminuyó tras el bloqueo del nervio alveolar, según EVA y McG, y fue estadísticamente similar entre hemimandíbulas con y sin canal retromolar (Wilcoxon>0,05); sin embargo, aquellos sin canal retromolar presentaron mayor reducción en la respuesta del paciente en 6 de 9 casos. Por lo tanto, el canal retromolar no es un factor determinante del fracaso del bloqueo del nervio alveolar inferior.

La ecografía es una herramienta segura, portátil, económica y de fácil acceso. Los médicos anestesiólogos pueden beneficiarse con esta herramienta diagnóstica rápida y precisa en su práctica habitual. Existen múltiples áreas potenciales donde la ecografía desempeña un papel importante, para la orientación de intervenciones a ciegas e invasivas, el diagnóstico de condiciones críticas y la evaluación de posibles variaciones anatómicas que pueden conducir a la modificación del plan anestésico. Esta revisión narrativa describe las principales aplicaciones de la ecografía en anestesia, las técnicas ecoguiadas y las tendencias actuales del manejo anestésico perioperatorio del paciente quirúrgico. Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos PubMed y Cochrane, se incluyeron artículos originales, estudios aleatorizados y de revisión, en español y en inglés, publicados entre 2017-2021. El uso de ecografía ha entrado en el campo de la medicina del dolor, anestesia regional y del intervencionismo analgésico durante la última década, e incluso es el estándar de la práctica, por tanto, la capacitación y un adecuado aprendizaje en la ecografía deben ser parte del plan de estudios de cualquier programa de anestesiología
Ultrasound is a safe, portable, inexpensive, and easily accessible tool. Anesthesiologists can benefit from this fast and accurate diagnostic tool in their routine practice. There are multiple potential areas where ultrasound plays an important role in the guidance of blind and invasive interventions, diagnosis of critical conditions, and assessment of possible anatomical variations that may lead to modification of the anesthetic plan. This narrative review describes the main applications of ultrasound in anesthesia, ultrasound-guided techniques, and current trends in the perioperative anesthetic management of the surgical patient. A search was conducted in PubMed and Cochrane databases. Original articles, randomized and review studies in Spanish and English published between 2017-2021 were included. The use of ultrasound has entered the field of pain medicine, regional anesthesia, and interventional analgesia during the last decade and is even the standard of practice. Therefore, training and adequate learning in ultrasound should be part of the curriculum of any anesthesiology program

Abstract Background Compound A is generated by sevoflurane when it reacts with carbon dioxide absorbers with strong bases at minimal fresh gas flow (FGF) and is nephrotoxic in animals. No conclusive data has shown increased risk in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate if minimal FGF promotes an increase in the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) when compared to high FGF in patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods Two hundred and four adult patients scheduled for on-pump cardiac surgery under sevoflurane anesthesia were randomly allocated to two groups differentiated by FGF: minimal FGF (0.5 L.min−1) or high FGF (2.0 L.min−1). Baseline creatinine measured before surgery was compared daily to values assayed on the first five postoperative days, and 24-hour urinary output was monitored, according to the KDIGO (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes) guideline to define postoperative cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Creatinine measurements were also obtained 20 and 120 days after hospital discharge. Results Postoperative AKI occurred in 55 patients, 26 patients (29.5%) in the minimal FGF group and 29 patients (31.5%) in the high FGF group (p= 0.774). Twenty days after discharge, 11 patients (6.1%) still had CSA-AKI and 120 days after discharge only 2 patients (1.6%) still had CSA-AKI. Conclusions When compared to high FGF, minimal FGF sevoflurane anesthesia during on-pump cardiac surgery is not associated with increased risk of postoperative AKI in this population at high risk for renal injury.

L'objectif de l'étude est d'évaluer la pratique anesthésique au cours des adénomectomies hypophysaires par voie endo nasale à Abidjan. Méthode : Il s'agissait d'une étude rétrospective à visée analytique et descriptive, menée entre le 01 janvier 2010 et le 31 décembre 2020 et portant sur les patients admis au bloc opératoire pour une adénomectomie hypophysaire. Les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, cliniques, anesthésiques, évolutives et pronostiques ont été étudiées. Résultats : Nous avons recensé 102 patients. L'âge moyen était de 44,72±12,14 ans. Le sex ratio était de 1. Le délai de diagnostic était d'un an pour 46% (n = 47) des patients. L'hypertension artérielle était l'antécédent le plus retrouvé. Les principaux motifs de consultation étaient les céphalées et les troubles de l'acuité visuelle. Le syndrome d'hypertension intracrânien a été observé chez 67,6% (n= 69) des patients. Tous les patients ont bénéficié d'une consultation pré anesthésique. Cinquante-huit pourcent (n=59) des patients ont été classés ASA I selon la société américaine d'anesthésie. L'anesthésie générale était le seul schéma anesthésique. La durée de l'anesthésie était de plus de trois heures chez 57% (n=58) des patients et le réveil sur table a concerné 88,2% (n=90) des patients. La mortalité était de 3,9%. La durée de l'anesthésie supérieure à 6 heures (p= 0,0012 ; OR= 55,8 [4,88-637,33]) et la perte sanguine supérieure à 1000 ml (p = 0,0228 ; OR=18,6 2,152- 160,747]) ont constitué des facteurs de mauvais pronostic (p<0,05). Conclusion: La réduction de la létalité au cours de l'anesthésie pour adénomes hypophysaires passe par la lutte contre les facteurs de mauvais pronostics

Abstract Background Up to 60% of pediatric surgical patients develop high levels of preoperative anxiety. This study compared the effects of oral combinations of midazolam and ketamine with oral midazolam alone for pediatric preanesthetic medication. Methods The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO as CRD42020172920. A systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, Cochrane, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science for randomized controlled trials comparing oral combinations of midazolam and ketamine with midazolam alone as preanesthetic medication in elective surgical pediatric patients. Meta-analyses included the following outcomes: anxiety and sedation levels, child's behavior during separation from parents, face mask acceptance, and venipuncture. The quality of evidence was assessed using GRADE criteria. Results Twenty studies were included. The following effects (RR (95% CI)) were observed for combinations of ketamine and midazolam relative midazolam alone: anxiolysis (1.2 (0.94-1.52); p= 0.15; I2 = 80%; GRADE = very low); satisfactory sedation (1.2 ( 1.10-1.31); p< 0.001; I2 = 71%; GRADE = very low); behavior during parental separation (1.2 (1.06-1.36); p= 0.003; I2 = 88%; GRADE = very low); facial mask acceptance (1.13 (1.04-1.24); p= 0.007; I2 = 49%; GRADE = very low); behavior during venipuncture (1.32 (1.11-1.57); p= 0.002; I2 = 66%; GRADE = very low). Conclusions While similar probabilities of obtaining anxiolysis were found, adequate sedation, calm behavior during child's separation from parents, low levels of fear during face mask adaptation, and cooperative behavior during peripheral venous cannulation were more likely with midazolam-ketamine combinations.

BACKGROUND@#Emergence delirium is a state of mental confusion and agitation after wakening from anesthesia that may result in traumatic injuries to the child. Limited drugs have been studied or used to prevent this occurrence.@*OBJECTIVE@#To determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous lidocaine in controlling emergence agitation (EA) in children undergoing surgeries done under general anesthesia compared to placebo or other intravenous anesthetics.@*METHODOLOGY@#This study is a meta-analysis, where published articles were obtained using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials, and Google Scholar up to August 2022. The primary outcome measure includes incidence of emergence delirium while secondary outcomes are postoperative pain and adverse effects comparing lidocaine and other intravenous drugs. The latter includes nausea and vomiting, untoward airway events and local anesthetic toxicity (LAST). Review Manager 5.4 was used for statistical analysis.@*RESULTS@#There were a total of 6 articles included for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The overall incidence of emergence agitation (RR=1.03, 95% CI [0.50, 2.13], P=0.94) and adverse events were higher in the Lidocaine group, although the differences were not significant. Subgroup analysis by comparator showed significant increased risk of developing EA with Lidocaine compared to other intravenous drugs (RR=2.06, 95% CI [1.32, 2.32], P=0.002). The risk for developing postoperative pain is decreased with Lidocaine compared to placebo and other drugs.@*CONCLUSION@#Intravenous lidocaine given to children undergoing general anesthesia with sevoflurane increased their risk for emergence delirium, compared to both placebo and other intravenous anesthetics.

BACKGROUND@#The incidence and mortality of lung cancer have always been at the forefront of malignant tumors. With the development of lung cancer detection techniques, more peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs) have been detected. The diagnostic accuracy of procedures for PPLs keeps controversial. This study aims to systematically evaluate the diagnostic value and the safety of electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) in the diagnosis of PPLs.@*METHODS@#The relevant literatures in the diagnostic yield of PPLs by ENB were systematically retrieved from Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The software of Stata 16.0, RevMan 5.4 and Meta-disc 1.4 were used to conduct the meta-analysis.@*RESULTS@#A total of 54 literatures with 55 studies were included in our meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio and diagnostic odds ratio of ENB in the diagnosis of PPLs were 0.77 (95%CI: 0.73-0.81), 0.97 (95%CI: 0.93-0.99), 24.27 (95%CI: 10.21-57.67), 0.23 (95%CI: 0.19-0.28) and 104.19 (95%CI: 41.85-259.37), respectively. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.90 (95%CI: 0.87-0.92). Meta-regression and subgroup analyses indicated that the potential heterogeneity resulted from study type, additional localization techniques, sample size, lesion size and type of sedation. The use of additional localization techniques and general anesthesia have improved the diagnostic efficiency of ENB in PPLs. The incidence of adverse reactions and complications associated with ENB was very low.@*CONCLUSIONS@#ENB provides well diagnostic accuracy and safety.

Abstract Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the main causes of acute kidney injury. The pathological mechanisms underlying renal I/R injury are complex and remain uncertain. The protective effects of antioxidant properties of geraniol against renal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) damage were investigated in our study. 28 Wistar albino male rats were randomly selected and 4 groups of n = 7 were created. A right kidney nephrectomy surgery was conducted to all groups under anesthesia. 2 ml SF was given to Groups I and II, 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/ kg geraniol were administered intraperitoneally an hour before ischemia to Groups III and IV, respectively. Except for Group I, 45 minutes of ischemia and 4 hours of reperfusion were applied to the groups. At the end of the experiment, parameters related to oxidative stress and inflammation were determined by comparing kidney function, antioxidant enzyme activities and histological changes. Following comparison of BUN and CRE values with CAT and SOD values in tissue samples of Group I and Group II, an increase in Group II was observed and as a result I/R damage formation occurred. Values of geraniol-treated Group III and Group IV approximated to that of Group I, and that the 50 mg/kg geraniol dose proved more effective than 100 mg/kg geraniol.

El objetivo de este reporte es mostrar la importancia del uso de dispositivos (específicamente videolaringoscopio) en pacientes con predicción de vía aérea difícil. Presentación del caso. Hombre de 63 años con gran masa facial con extensión a nariz, labio superior, erosión a nivel del maxilar superior que ocupaba cavidad oral, con predictores de ventilación e intubación difícil, programado para rinectomía, osteotomía Lefort II, reconstrucción y traqueostomía, con intubación exitosa con videolaringoscopio en primer intento bajo sedación consciente y ventilación espontánea. Discusión. La vía aérea difícil es un escenario relacionado a factores externos e internos del paciente y a complicaciones pre e intraoperatorias. El videolaringoscopio es una herramienta útil que permite la intubación exitosa y disminuye los posibles eventos adversos (como se observó en el paciente del caso presentado) y es descrito en diferentes reportes de casos con compromiso parcial o total de la vía aérea. Conclusión. La videolaringoscopia, en casos de vía aérea difícil anticipada, está asociada con un menor tiempo de intubación, un buen perfil de seguridad y una alta tasa de éxito, comparable a la del fibrobroncoscopio, se logra la intubación en el primer intento en la mayoría de las veces y, por ello, debería considerarse como primera opción.
Introduction. Management of an anticipated difficult airway is an anesthetic challenge that involves preoperative assessment of the patient's specific anatomic characteristics and risk factors. Difficult intubation occurs in 1.6 of 1,000 events and failed intubation in 0.06 of 1,000 events. The objective of this report is to show the importance of the use of devices (specifically videolaryngoscope) in patients with predicted difficult airway. Case Presentation. 63-year-old man with large facial mass with extensión to the nose, upper lip, erosion at the level of the upper jaw occupying the oral cavity, with predictors of ventilation and difficult intubation, scheduled for rhinectomy, Lefort II osteotomy, reconstruction and tracheostomy, with successful intubation with videolaryngoscope on the first attempt under conscious sedation and spontaneous ventilation. Discussion. Difficult airway is a scenario related to external and internal patient factors and to pre- and intraoperative complications. The videolaryngoscope is a useful tool that allows successful intubation and decreases possible adverse events (as observed in the patient of the case presented) and is described in different reports of cases with partial or total airway compromise. Conclusion. Videolaryngoscopy, in cases of anticipated difficult airway, is associated with a shorter intubation time, a good safety profile and a high success rate, comparable to that of fibrobronchoscopy, intubation is achieved on the first attempt in most cases and should therefore be considered as a first choice.

El angioedema hereditario (AEH) es una enfermedad genética poco frecuente debida a una mutación de transmisión autosómica dominante que produce una alteración del gen que codifica la proteína inhibidora de la C1 esterasa activada (C1-INH), provoca un déficit o disfunción de la misma. Se caracteriza por episodios recurrentes y autolimitados con síntomas transitorios de hinchazón sin urticaria de tejidos subcutáneos, extremidades, pared intestinal, genitales y vías respiratorias superiores. La afectación de laringe y glotis puede ocasionar la muerte por asfixia. Se informa la conducción perioperatoria en una paciente portadora de AEH y un amplio historial de alergias donde las principales consideraciones están relacionadas con la prevención de una crisis aguda durante el perioperatorio. Para lograrlo se requirió de una preparación con plasma fresco congelado (PFC) y ácido tranexámico (ATX) con días de antelación a la cirugía que se continuó en el posoperatorio, además de un manejo cuidadoso durante el acto anestésico(AU)
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease caused by an autosomal dominant mutation that results in an alteration of the gene encoding the activated C1 esterase inhibitor protein (C1-INH), causing deficiency or dysfunction of C1-INH. It is characterized by recurrent and self-limited episodes with transient symptoms of swelling without urticaria of subcutaneous tissues, extremities, intestinal wall, genitalia and upper respiratory tract. Involvement of the larynx and glottis may result in death by asphyxia. The perioperative managment is reported of a patient with HAE and a long history of allergies in which the main considerations are related to the prevention of an acute crisis during the perioperative period. This required a preparation with fresh frozen plasma and tranexamic acid days before surgery, which was continued postoperatively, in addition to careful management during the anesthetic procedure(AU)
