ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of anesthesia regime (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).MethodsThe electronic medical records of 194 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between September 2018 and February 2019 were reviewed, including 92 males and 102 females with an average age of 53 years. The patients were classified into a volatile group (n=94) or a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) group (n=100) according to anesthesia regimen during surgery (including CPB). The primary outcome was the incidence of PPCs within first 7 d after surgery. Secondary outcomes included incidence of reintubation, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospital stay.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the incidence of PPCs between the two groups (RR=1.020, 95%CI 0.763-1.363, P=0.896), with an incidence of 48.9% in the volatile group and 48.0% in the TIVA group. Secondary outcomes were also found no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionNo association of anesthesia regimen with the incidence of PPCs is found in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under CPB.
摘要:目的:定量測定50 %小兒在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因膠漿的情況下平穩拔除喉罩時呼氣末七氟烷濃度。方法:25例擇期行四肢及體表手術的患兒,高流量吸入七氟烷誘導并以七氟烷和氧化亞氮維持麻醉,不使用肌肉松弛劑及靜脈麻醉藥物,手術結束后停止吸入氧化亞氮,并維持設定的七氟烷濃度10min后拔除喉罩。根據Dixon序貫法確定喉罩拔除時的七氟烷濃度,每0.1 Vol%七氟烷為1個增減單位。患兒未出現咳嗽、牙關緊閉、體動、屏氣及喉痙攣則認為拔除喉罩平穩。結果:50 %小兒平穩拔除喉罩時呼氣末七氟烷濃度(EC50)為1.22 Vol%(95 %的置信區間分別為0.99 Vol%～1.49 Vol%)。結論:在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因膠漿的情況下,3～8歲患兒喉罩滿意拔除時呼氣末七氟烷EC50值為1.22 Vol%。Abstract: Objective: To determine the concentration of sevoflurane where 50%( EC50 ) of the attempts to remove the laryngeal mask airway (LMA ) with the Teracainum Gel would be successful in children. Methods: Twentyfive nonpremedicated children, aged 38 years old, ASA physical status I, scheduled for extremities or peripherical surgery were enrolled in this study. General anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane and maintained with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen. After the surgery, the target concentration was maintained for at least 10 min, and then the LMA was removed. Each target concentration was predetermined by the Dixon’s upanddown method (with 0.1 Vol% as a step size), starting at 1.20 Vol% concentration of sevoflurane. A removal accomplished without coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movement, breath holding or laryngospasm, during or within 1 min after removal was considered to be successful. Results:The concentration of sevoflurane to achieve successful LMA removal in 50% of children was 1.22 Vol% (95%CL, 0.99 Vol%1.49 Vol%). Conclusion: The EC50 value of sevoflurane for LMA smooth extubation in children aged 38 years old with teracainum gel was 1.22 Vol%.
ObjectiveTo determine whether there was a clinical relevant association between anesthetic regimen (propofol or inhalational anesthetics) and the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted on patients with elective cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2018 and March 2019. The patients were divided into a propofol group or an inhalational anesthetics group according to anesthetic regimen (including CPB). The primary outcome was the occurrence of POD during first 3 days after surgery. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between anesthetic regimen and the occurrence of POD.ResultsA total of 197 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included, with an average age of 53 years, and 51.8% (102/197) were females. POD occurred in 21.3% (42/197) patients. The incidence of POD was 21.4% in the propofol group and 21.2% in the inhalational anesthetics group; there was no significant difference between the two groups (RR=1.01, 95%CI 0.51-2.00, P=0.970). Logistic regression analysis did not find that anesthetic regimen was a risk factor for delirium after cardiac surgery after adjusting risk factors (OR=1.05, 95%CI 0.48-2.32, P=0.900).ConclusionAnesthetic regimen (propofol or inhalational anesthetics) is not associated with an increased risk for POD in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under CPB.
Surgery is an important method for the treatment of malignant tumors. Sevoflurane is one of the most common general anesthetics, which can directly or indirectly affect the biological behavior of cells and the immune function of tumor patients, thereby affecting the recurrence and metastasis of tumor patients after surgery. From the aspects of microRNA, matrix metalloproteinase, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, this article summarizes the molecular mechanisms of sevoflurane affecting the biological behavior of tumor cells, and clarifies the regulation mechanism of sevoflurane on the immune function of tumor patients. It is expected to provide a theoretical basis for precise anesthesia for tumor patients, and to provide medication basis for reducing postoperative recurrence and metastasis of tumor patients.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the safety of propofol versus sevoflurane for pediatric surgery.
MethodsEMbase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CSCD, CNKI, WanFang Data were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about propofol versus sevoflurane for pediatric surgery from inception to January 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then metaanalysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.
ResultsFifteen RCTs involving 1 065 children were included finally. Meta-analysis results showed that, compared with the sevoflurane group, the propofol group could reduce the incidence of emergence agitation (OR=0.23, 95%CI 0.16 to 0.34, P<0.000 01) and the incidence of postoperative vomiting (OR=0.32, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.51, P<0.000 01). There were no significant differences between the two groups in extubation time (MD=0.98, 95%CI -0.26 to 2.21, P=0.12), eye-opening time (MD=3.32, 95%CI -2.65 to 9.29, P=0.28) and postoperative analgesic requirements (OR=0.60, 95%CI 0.30 to 1.23, P=0.16).
ConclusionIn reducing the incidence of emergence agitation and postoperative vomiting, propofol is superior to sevoflurane, so propofol is safer than sevoflurane for children's surgery.
Objective To evaluate the association between anesthesia regimen (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) and postoperative infection in adult cardiac patients undergoing cardiac surgery. MethodsThe clinical data of 496 elective adults undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass from June 2019 to June 2020 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively analyzed, including 251 females and 245 males with an average age of 54.1±11.4 years. American Society of Anesthesiologists grade was Ⅰ-Ⅲ. There were 243 patients in a volatile group with sevoflurane or desflurane, and 253 patients in an intravenous anesthesia group with propofol. The primary outcome was the incidence of infection within 30 days after cardiac surgery, including pulmonary infection, surgical site infection, sepsis, and urinary tract infection. The secondary outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, incidence of reintubation, ICU stay, postoperative length of hospital stay and total hospitalization cost. Results A total of 155 (31.3%) patients developed postoperative infection within 30 days, with an incidence of 32.9% in the volatile group and 29.6% in the intravenous anesthesia group. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of infection (RR=1.111, 95%CI 0.855 to 1.442, P=0.431) or the secondary outcomes (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion The anesthesia regimen (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) has no association with the risk of occurrence of postoperative infection in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of sevoflurane versus ketamine in the anesthesia of child short period surgery. Methods Such databases as EMbase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBMdisc, Ongoing Controlled Trial and Conference Articles were searched from their establishment to April 2011 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the quasi-RCTs. The quality of those studies meeting the inclusive criteria was assessed, the data were extracted and the meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.1.1 software. Results Ten studies involving 600 participants were included. Seven studies showed that the intraoperative heart rate of the sevoflurane group was lower than that of the ketamine group (MD= –11.85, 95%CI –16.47 to –7.23, Plt;0.000 01). Nine studies showed that the revival time of the sevoflurane group was shorter than that of the ketamine group (MD= –29.05, 95%CI –37.98 to –20.12, Plt;0.000 01). Three studies showed that the anesthesia induction time of the sevoflurane group was shorter than that of the ketamine group (MD= –208.45, 95%CI –359.22 to –57.68, P=0.007). Six studies showed that the influence on mean arterial pressure (MAP) had no significante difference (MD= –4.86, 95%CI –10.02 to 0.29, P=0.06). Meanwhile, seven studies showed that the adverse events of the sevoflurane group were fewer than those of the ketamine group (Peto OR=0.29, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.40, Plt;0.000 01). Conclusion The results of this system review show that sevoflurane is more effective than ketamine with fewer adverse reactions, and it provides a new choice for clinical anesthesia for child short period surgery. However, ketamine is still the main drug in clinical anesthesia for the child short period surgery at present, so high quality studies are needed for further clinical researches.
