摘要
Los procedimientos intratimpánicos se realizan frecuentemente de manera ambulatoria en los policlínicos de otorrinolaringología. Dada la inervación de la membrana timpánica, estos procedimientos generan disconfort y dolor, por lo que la aplicación previa de anestésicos tópicos sobre la membrana timpánica y el conducto auditivo externo es habitual. Pese a su uso, no hay evidencia clara sobre la efectividad de estos y el correcto modo de aplicación. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre la aplicación y uso de anestésicos tópicos previo a procedimientos intratimpánicos, donde pudimos concluir que actualmente no hay un estándar de oro para prevenir el dolor en los pacientes sometidos a procedimientos intratimpánicos, ya que en la mayoría de los estudios no se logró diferencia significativa entre el uso de anestésicos tópicos v/s placebo, al comparar dolor a los 5 y 45 minutos post procedimiento.
A literature review was performed to assess the use and efficacy of topical anesthetics in intratympanic procedures. The analysis led to the conclusion that a gold standard for pain prevention procedures is still lacking, as the majority of studies revised did not show statically significant differences between the use of topic anesthetics and placebo when compared pain at 5 and 45 minutes after procedures.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: A new block, namely, modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach, is administered below the costal cartilage. We sought to compare the analgesic efficacy of the modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach block with local anesthetic infiltration at the port sites in an adult population who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: Patients who will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized to receive bilateral ultrasound-guided modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach blocks or local anesthetic infiltration at the port insertion sites. The primary outcome was the total amount of tramadol used in the first 12 h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were total IV tramadol consumption for the first postoperative 24 h and visual analog scale scores. RESULTS: The modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach group had significantly less tramadol use in the first 12 h postoperatively (p<0.001). The modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach group's visual analog scale scores at rest (static) and with movement (dynamic) were significantly lower compared with the port infiltration group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Patients who received modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach block had significantly less analgesic consumption and better pain scores than those who received port-site injections after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract Objective To compare patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) under spinal anesthesia and single femoral nerve block (FNB) with subjects undergoing TKA under spinal anesthesia and periarticular infiltration (PAI). Materials and Methods A total of 100 patients undergoing primary TKA were randomized into two groups. Group 1 included patients undergoing surgery under FNB associated with spinal anesthesia, while group 2 included patients undergoing TKA under IPA and spinal anesthesia. The assessment of these subjects in the early postoperative period included pain, active flexion, active extension, elevation of the extended limb, and morphine use. Results There was no significant difference in the types of analgesia concerning pain, the elevation of the extended limb, and morphine use. Active flexion and extension were better in the PAI group (p = 0.04 and p = 0.02 respectively). Conclusion We conclude that the techniques are similar regarding pain control, limb elevation, and morphine use. The use of IPA provided better active flexion and extension during the hospital stay compared to single FNB in patients undergoing TKA.

摘要
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare form of chronic inflammatory disease involving large vessels, with uncertain etiology, with chest pain as a common and challenging symptom, resulting from inflammation in the aortic root or arch, pulmonary artery or coronary arteries. The objective of this study was to describe the use of intravenous lidocaine to treat severe and refractory chest pain secondary to TA. CASE REPORT: A 33-year-old female patient diagnosed with TA, with severe chest pain that was difficult to manage, was admitted after consulting an emergency department. The pain was unresponsive to traditional treatment after a week of drug adjustments. As a therapeutic option, a Sympathetic Venous Blockade (SVB) with lidocaine was chosen, achieving a reduction in pain from 10 to 3 on the Visual Analog Scale. Infliximab was administered before discharge. The patient was re-evaluated at an outpatient appointment after 30 days. CONCLUSION: This strategy for the treatment of severe chest pain allowed for pain reduction and relief.

Abstract Background: Our objective was to compare the safety and efficacy of Target-Controlled Infusion (TCI) versus intermittent bolus of propofol for colonoscopy sedation. Methods: We conducted a randomized (1:1), single-blind, parallel-group superiority trial with fifty ASA I or II patients, both sexes, aged 18 to 65 years, Body Mass Index ≤ 30 kg.mr-2, undergoing colonoscopy, allocated to receive propofol by TCI (effect-site, 2 μg.mL-1 plus 0.5 μg.mL-1 until unconsciousness and as necessary for agitation) or intermittent bolus (1 mg.kg-1 plus 0.5 mg.kg-1 every 5 minutes or as above). The primary safety outcome was the need for airway maneuvers and the primary efficacy outcome was the need for interventions to adjust the level of sedation. Secondary outcomes included incidence of agitation, propofol dose, and time to recovery. Results: The median (IQR) number of airway maneuvers and interventions needed to adjust sedation was 0 (0-0) vs. 0 (0-0) (p = 0.239) and 1 (0-1) vs. 3 (1-4) (p < 0.001) in the TCI and control groups, respectively. Agitation was more common in the intermittent bolus group - 2 (0-2) vs. 1 (0-1), p < 0.001. The mean ± SD time to recovery was 4.9 ± 1.4 minutes in the TCI group vs. 2.3 ± 1.6 minutes in the control group (p < 0.001). The total propofol dose was higher in the TCI group (234 ± 46 μg.kg-1.min-1 vs. 195 ± 44 μg.kg-1.min-1 (p = 0.040)). Conclusions: During colonoscopy, TCI is as safe as intermittent bolus of propofol while reducing the incidence of agitation and the need for dose adjustments. However, intermittent bolus administration was associated with lower total propofol dose and earlier recovery.

Abstract Background and aims: Dexamethasone as adjunct to local anesthetic solution improves the quality of brachial plexus block (BPB). However, evidence for its efficacy at low doses (< 4 mg) is lacking. This study was designed to evaluate the duration of analgesia attained with low dose dexamethasone as adjuvant to local anesthetic for creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) under BPB. Methods: Sixty-six patients scheduled for AVF creation were randomly allocated to receive either saline (control) or 2 mg dexamethasone, together with 0.5% ropivacaine and 0.2% lignocaine. The primary outcome was duration of analgesia, defined as time from performing the block to the first analgesic request. The secondary outcomes were time from injection to complete sensory block, time from injection to complete motor block, duration of motor block, postoperative analgesic consumption, and fistula patency at three months. Results: All the blocks were effective. In the group that received dexamethasone, the time to first analgesic request was significantly delayed (432 ± 43.8 minutes vs. 386.4 ± 40.2 minutes; p < 0.01). The onset of sensory and motor blockade occurred faster in dexamethasone group and overall analgesic consumption was also reduced. However, dexamethasone addition did not prolong the duration of motor block. There was no statistically significant difference in the patency of fistulas between the two groups at three months. (p = 0.34). Conclusion: Addition of low-dose perineural dexamethasone to local anesthetic solution significantly prolonged the duration of analgesia. Further trials are warranted to compare the adverse effects between dexamethasone doses of 4 mg and lower.

The relationship between cardiac output and anesthetic drugs is important to anesthesiologists, since cardiac output determines the speed with which a drug infused into the bloodstream reaches its target and the intensity of the drug's effect. But rather than focus on how anesthetic drugs affect cardiac output, this narrative review focuses on how changes in cardiac output affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of general anesthetics during the three phases of anesthesia. At induction, an increase in cardiac output shortens both the onset time of propofol for hypnosis and the neuromuscular blocking effect of rapid-acting neuromuscular blockers, favoring the conditions for rapid sequence intubation. During maintenance, changes in cardiac output are followed by opposite changes in the drug plasma concentration of anesthetic drugs. Thus, an increase in cardiac output followed by a decrease in the plasma concentration of the anesthetic could expose the patient to a real risk of intraoperative awakening, which can be avoided by increasing the dose of hypnotic drugs. At emergence, an increase in cardiac output secondary to an increase in pC02 allows for a more rapid recovery from anesthesia. The pC02 can be increased by adding CO2 to the respiratory circuit, lowering the ventilatory rate, or placing the patient on partial rebreathing. Finally, the reversal action of sugammadex for rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block can be shortened by increasing the cardiac output.
La relación entre el gasto cardíaco y los fármacos anestésicos es importante para los anestesiólogos puesto que el gasto cardíaco determina la velocidad con la cual un medicamento que se infunde al torrente sanguíneo llega a su diana y la intensidad del efecto del agente. Pero en lugar de concentrarnos en cómo los fármacos anestésicos afectan el gasto cardíaco, esta revisión narrativa se enfoca en cómo los cambios en el gasto cardíaco afectan la farmacocinética y la farmacodinámica de los agentes anestésicos generales durante las tres fases de la anestesia. En el momento de la inducción, un incremento en el gasto cardíaco acorta tanto el tiempo de inicio del efecto del propofol para la hipnosis como el efecto del bloqueo neuromuscular causado por los bloqueadores neuromusculares de acción rápida, favoreciendo las condiciones para la intubación de secuencia rápida. Durante la fase de mantenimiento, los cambios en el gasto cardíaco vienen seguidos de cambios opuestos en la concentración plasmática del medicamento de los agentes anestésicos. Por lo tanto, un aumento del gasto cardíaco, seguido de una reducción en la concentración plasmática del anestésico, podría exponer al paciente a un riesgo real de despertar intraoperatorio, lo cual puede evitarse aumentando la dosis de los fármacos hipnóticos. En la educción, un aumento en el gasto cardíaco secundario al incremento en el pCO2 permite una recuperación más rápida de la anestesia. El pCO2 puede aumentar agregando CO2 al circuito de la respiración, reduciendo la tasa ventilatoria, o colocando al paciente en re-inhalación parcial. Finalmente, la acción de reversión de sugammadex en caso de bloqueo neuromuscular inducido por rocuronio, puede acortarse aumentando el gasto cardíaco.

Although surgical techniques and perioperative care have made significant advances, perioperative mortality in cardiac surgery remains relatively high. Single? or multiple?organ failure remains the leading cause of postoperative mortality. Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a common trigger for organ injury or dysfunction in surgical patients. Cardiac surgery involves major surgical dissection, the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and frequent blood transfusions. Ischemia?reperfusion injury and contact activation from CPB are among the major triggers for SIRS. Blood transfusion can also induce proinflammatory responses. Here, we review the immunological mechanisms of organ injury and the role of anesthetic regimens in cardiac surgery

摘要
Resumen: La hipertermia maligna es un raro desorden farmacogenético potencialmente mortal, que se presenta como una respuesta hipermetabólica a los anestésicos volátiles y relajantes musculares despolarizantes en individuos susceptibles. Esta susceptibilidad se asocia a mutaciones en tres genes: RYR1, CACNA1S y STAC3. Puede manifestarse con síntomas leves o como una crisis fulminante, con rabdomiólisis severa, fibrilación ventricular e insuficiencia renal y circulatoria aguda, por lo tanto, el pronóstico depende de qué tan pronto se sospeche del diagnóstico y qué tan rápido se inicie el tratamiento. El diagnóstico definitivo se basa en una prueba de sensibilidad en biopsia muscular fresca y en pruebas genéticas. La mejor manera de prevenir un evento es la detección precoz de los pacientes susceptibles así como contar con el equipo para responder ante una crisis en cada centro donde se administren anestésicos volátiles y la capacitación del personal. Esta revisión sintetiza los conceptos actuales clínicos y biomédicos para detección, prevención, diagnóstico y manejo de la hipertermia maligna.
Abstract: Malignant hyperthermia is a rare, life-threatening pharmacogenetic disorder which presents as a hypermetabolic response to volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxants in susceptible individuals. This susceptibility is associated with mutations in three genes: RYR1, CACNA1S and STAC3. Can manifest with mild symptoms or as a fulminant crisis, with severe rhabdomyolysis, ventricular fibrillation and acute renal and circulatory failure, therefore the prognosis depends on how soon the diagnosis is suspected and how fast treatment is started. The definitive diagnosis is based on a fresh muscle biopsy sensitivity test and genetic testing. The best way to prevent an event is the early detection of susceptible, as well as have equipment to respond to a crisis in each center where volatile anesthetics are administered and the training of staff. This review synthesizes current clinical and biomedical concepts for detection, prevention, diagnosis and management of malignant hyperthermia.

Objective:To investigate the effects of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage administered for oropharyngeal anesthesia on gag reflex in patients with chronic pharyngitis during gastroscopy.Methods:A total of 100 patients with chronic pharyngitis who met American Society of Anesthesiologists Classification I-II and received treatment in The First Affiliated Hospital of Ximen University from January to December 2020 were included in this study. Using the principle of voluntariness, these patients were divided into dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage (D) and control (C) groups, with 50 patients in each group. Ten minutes before anesthesia induction, patients in Group D took 10 mL of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage in the mouth, but did not swallow it, and those in Group C were identically given equal volume of placebo. Ten minutes later, dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage or placebo was swallowed. For anesthesia induction, 20 μg Fentanyl and 2-4 mg/kg Propofol were intravenously administered. A gastroscopy examination was performed after the patient's consciousness disappeared. The patient's cough and body movement response scores during gastroscopy were recorded. Before anesthesia induction (T0), before endoscope insertion (T1), after endoscope insertion (T2), and after endoscope withdrawal (T3), mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded.Results:The incidence rate of cough and body movement in Group D were 20% (10/50) and 24% (12/50), which were significantly lower than 72% (36/50) and 68% (34/50) in Group C ( χ2 = 27.21, 19.49, both P < 0.001). At T1, mean arterial pressure in Group D and Group C was (62.21 ± 10.32) mmHg and (63.82 ± 10.51) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, which were significantly lower than (70.21 ± 13.13) mmHg and (70.91 ± 14.02) mmHg at T0 ( t = 3.15, 5.82, both P < 0.05). At T2, mean arterial pressure and heart rate in Group C were (80.13 ± 11.92) mmHg and (90.02 ± 15.63) beats/minute, respectively, which were significantly higher than (70.91 ± 14.02) mmHg and (78.75 ± 14.93) beats/minute at T0 in the same group ( t = 5.99, 4.03, both P < 0.05) and were also significantly higher than (66.21 ± 12.33) mmHg and (76.53 ± 10.31) beats/minute] at T2 in Group D ( t = 2.07, 2.67, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage administered for oropharyngeal anesthesia can effectively suppress gag reflex in patients with chronic pharyngitis and increase hemodynamic stability during gastroscopy.

Objective:To investigate the arousal mechanism after sevoflurane anesthesia using orexinergic modulation in dorsal raphe nucleus(DRN) by optogenetic and chemogenetic techniques in rats.Methods:Forty-five healthy male Hcrt-Cre rats, aged 10-12 weeks, weighing 220-250 g, were divided into 6 groups by the random number table method: optical-excitatory group (CHR2 group, n=5), optical-inhibitory group (eNpHR group, n=5), optical-control group (O-CON group, n=5); chemogenetic-excitatory group (hm3Dq group, n=10), chemogenetic-inhibitory group (hm4Di group, n=10) and chemogenetic-control group (C-CON group, n=10). The optogenetic or chemogenetic techniques were used in each group. Three weeks after injecting the rat virus, anesthesia was induced and maintained with 2.7% sevoflurane anesthesia in 1.5 L/min O 2, and the EEG data were continuously recorded throughout the process. The burst suppression ratio (%BSR) was recorded at 2 min before and of laser stimulation. Combining optogenetic and chemogenetic strategies, it was investigated that whether activation of orexinergic projection to DRN could modulate anesthetic behaviors during sevoflurane anesthesia. Results:Compared with C-CON group, the recovery of righting reflex (RORR) time was significantly shortened after sevoflurane anesthesia in hm3Dq group ( P<0.05), and the RORR time was significantly prolonged after sevoflurane anesthesia in hm4Di group and eNpHR group ( P<0.05). Compared with O-CON group or the baseline at 2 min before light stimulation, the %BSR was significantly decreased during 473nm laser stimulation in CHR2 group ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant change was found in the %BSR during 473nm laser stimulation in eNpHR group ( P>0.05). Compared with O-CON group, the RORR time was significantly shortened after sevoflurane anesthesia in CHR2 group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Lateral hypothalamic area orexin-DRN neural circuit plays a key role in promoting arousal from general anesthesia in rats.
摘要
Topical anesthesia are being widely used in clinical diagnostic or therapeutic fields such as ophthalmology, ENT, dermatology, urology. It is defined as superficial loss of sensation in mucous membranes or skin, produced by direct application of penetrating local anesthetics. Topical anesthesia has the advantages of simple performance, high safety, quick recovery, which can effectively improve patient's satisfaction. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the concept of comfortable diagnosis and treatment. The new drugs and application methods of topical anesthesia are emerging constantly, special attention must be paid to their pharmacological characteristics and possible adverse reactions when using them. This article reviews the research progress of topical anesthesia in clinical application in order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Abstract This crossover study aimed to compare the anesthetic effects of buffered 2% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine with that of non-buffered 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine. Forty-seven volunteers were administered two doses of anesthesia in the buccal region of the second mandibular molars in two sessions using 1.8 mL of different local anesthetic solutions. The onset time and duration of pulp anesthesia, soft tissue pressure pain threshold, and the score of pain on puncture and burning during injection were evaluated. The operator, volunteers, and statistician were blinded. There were no significant differences in the parameters: onset of soft tissue anesthesia (p = 0.80), duration of soft tissue anesthesia (p = 0.10), onset of pulpal anesthesia in the second (p = 0.28) and first molars (p = 0.45), duration of pulp anesthesia of the second (p = 0.60) and first molars (p = 0.30), pain during puncture (p = 0.82) and injection (p = 0.80). No significant adverse events were observed. Buffered 2% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine did not differ from non-buffered 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine considering anesthetic success, safety, onset, duration of anesthesia, and pain on injection.
摘要
ABSTRACT Pulmonary aspiration of gastric residues during anesthesia is a potentially fatal complication for which no specific treatment is available. The primary way to prevent its occurrence in the context of elective surgeries is adherence to fasting protocols. However, some clinical conditions can prolong the gastric emptying time, and the risk of aspiration may exist despite adequate fasting. Recognizing the risk factors for gastroparesis allows the adoption of preventive methods and is the primary way to reduce morbidity and mortality from pulmonary aspiration. In this scenario, the anesthesiologist can investigate the gastric content by using ultrasound, adjust the anesthetic technique, and even postpone elective surgeries. Here, we describe incidental computed tomography finding of solid contents in the stomach of a patient without prior identification of the risk factors for gastroparesis. The patient underwent elective renal nodule ablation under general anesthesia after fasting for 9 hours. During the procedure, solid contents in the stomach were noted on computed tomography. Subsequently, it was discovered that the patient had been using semaglutide for 6 days and had not disclosed this information. Semaglutide use may represent a new and significant risk factor for anesthesia-related pulmonary aspiration. Until studies provide information on the appropriate perioperative management of patients using semaglutide, anesthesiologists need to adopt preventive measures to avoid aspiration. Awareness of this potential association and open communication among patients, physicians, and anesthesia teams are essential for enhancing patient safety.
