RESUMO
The study included 12 clinically healthy, adult male dogs of various breeds, admitted to our clinic for castration. After general anesthesia with sevoflurane, we administered epidural fentanyl (1 mcg/kg) to fentanyl group, while lidocaine group was given Lidocaine (3 mg/kg) through epidural administration. When hemodynamic parameters were stabilized, first measurements were recorded at minutes 0, 15, 30, 60 in both groups, which included Heart Rate (HR), body temperature, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), glucose (GLC), and hemoglobin (HB) measurements. In addition, serum samples were obtained from arterial blood at the same measurement times, and pH, pO2, pCO2, HCO3, %O2 Saturation, BE levels were measured. For hematological analysis, WBC, RBC, HCT, THR counts were performed. For serum biochemical analysis, venous blood samples were collected at minutes 0 and 60 and CK, TP, UREA, ALT, AST, ALB, GGT, CRE, CK-MB parameters were assessed using auto-analyzer. Moreover, cortisol levels were measured in the samples collected at minutes 0, 30, and 60.Mean arterial blood pressure values measured at minutes 15, 30 and 60 were found significantly lower in the fentanyl group (p<0.01). In conclusion, we suggest that epidural anesthesia with lidocaine and fentanyl can provide an effective and safe option in high-risk groups (Tab. 5, Fig. 1, Ref. 24).

INTRODUCTION: Increase in intra-abdominal pressure may affect gastric emptying time but the precise effect has not been demonstrated. Effects of acute increase of intra-abdominal pressure on gastric emptying time can not be demonstrated in clinical or experimental studies. In this study we aimed to study the effect of increased intra-abdominal pressure on gastric emptying time. METHODS: Six male stray dogs that weighed 20-25 kg were studied. Following the induction of general anaesthesia, an abdominal catheter was placed and intra-abdominal pressure was raised at a rate of 5 cm H2O every 10 minutes using intra-abdominal administration of physiologic saline solution until 45 cm H2O pressure was reached. Gastric emptying time was measured scintigraphically at the beginning of the study (IAB 0 cm H2O ) and again four hours later when pressure reached the maximum value (IAP was 45 cm H2O). RESULTS: Gastric emptying time for baseline pressure was in average 51.83±13.16 whereas for 45 cm H2O pressure it was in average 90.83±26.96. This difference was found statistically significant (p<0.05). The differences between baseline values and values after increased intra-abdominal pressure were statistically significant (Tab. 4, Fig. 1, Ref. 26).

Comparison of entropy (state entropy [SE] and response entropy [RE]) with the bispectral index (BIS) during propofol sedation in monitored anaesthesia care (MAC) was carried out in patients undergoing hand surgery. Thirty candidates for elective hand surgery were pre-medicated with midazolam 0.06 mg/kg and atropine 0.01 mg/kg. Sedation was induced with intravenous propofol and fentanyl was also administered. The Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale (MOAA/S) was used to determine sedation level and pain was maintained at < 4 on a 0 - 10 verbal rating scale. The BIS, entropy, MOAA/S and pain values were recorded before initiation of sedation (control), during initiation of sedation, during surgery, and for 30 min after the end of surgery and anaesthesia. On initiation of sedation, entropy decreased more rapidly than BIS. At 10 min after initiation of sedation, the mean +/- SD values for MOAA/S, BIS, RE and SE were 3.00 +/- 0.36, 85.45 +/- 0.15, 74.00 +/- 0.60 and 72.02 +/- 0.12, respectively. During recovery, BIS and RE and SE increased in parallel with MOAA/S. It is concluded that entropy monitoring is as reliable as BIS monitoring in MAC.

This prospective study investigated the levels of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with various types and severity of multiple trauma, and their relationship to trauma-related complications. Adult multiple-trauma patients (n = 113) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the first 24 h after trauma were included. The Injury Severity Scores (ISS), and PCT and CRP levels were measured in the first 24 h (day 1), on day 7 and on the final day of their ICU stay. Survival at 30 days was recorded. Mean PCT and CRP levels were both significantly higher on day 7 compared with day 1 and the final assessment day in patients with an ISS > 20. Levels of PCT were significantly higher in cases with sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock compared with cases who developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), however levels of CRP were significantly higher only in cases with severe sepsis or septic shock, but not in cases with sepsis alone. These data support the view that PCT levels may be a better indicator than CRP levels in the early diagnosis of septic complications in patients with multiple trauma.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of aspiration of expired air by a suction system on peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO(2)) during cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 160 pre-medicated patients aged between 40 and 70 years (ASA I-III, classification of patients according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists) scheduled for cataract surgery under retrobulbar or peribulbar block were examined in a randomised, single-blind manner. The patients were sedated with 3 mg midazolam i.v. 15 min before operation and were monitored with an anaesthesia monitor. Heart rate (HR), non-invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP), SpO(2) and EtCO(2) were continuously measured using a standardised monitor. The first group (non-suction group, n = 80) received 4 L min(-1) O(2) with nasal cannule while the second group (suction group, n = 80) received 4 L min(-1) O(2) with nasal cannule, and the expired air was aspired with a Y-piece suction system. EtCO(2) was measured with the line of the sampling tube in the anaesthesia monitor. Respiratory rate (RR) was counted for a period of 1 min at each measurement time with thoracic excursions. The results were evaluated by unpaired t-test and analysis of variance. RESULTS: Severe reduction of SpO(2) and raising of EtCO(2) were observed significantly in the first group during the operation. RR, HR and MAP increased due to hypoxaemia. In the second group, SpO(2) was stabilised at high levels and EtCO(2) did not increase. RR, HR and MAP levels remained within the normal limits. Differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: During cataract surgery with local anaesthesia, SpO(2) decreases and RR, HR and MAP increase because of reinspiration of expired air under the drape. Insufflation of O(2) and aspiration of expired air with a suction system have prevented severe reduction of SpO(2) and raising of EtCO(2). It was suggested that O(2) delivery and use of an aspiration system decreased the risk of hypoxaemia significantly in the patients undergoing the cataract surgery.
