Objective To systematically review the impacts of general anesthesia using sevoflurane versus propofol on the incidence of emergence agitation in pediatric patients. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2012), CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data and VIP were electronically searched from inception to December 2012, for comprehensively collecting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impacts of general anesthesia using sevoflurane versus propofol on the incidence of emergence agitation in pediatric patients. References of included studies were also retrieved. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 9 RCTs involving 692 children were included, of which, six were pooled in the meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that: a) after anesthesia induction using sevoflurane, intravenous propofol maintenance was associated with a lower incidence of emergence agitation compared with sevoflurane maintenance (RR=0.57, 95%CI 0.39 to 0.84, P=0.004); and b) patients anesthetized with total intravenous propofol had a lower incidence of emergence agitation compared with total inhalation of sevoflurane (RR=0.16, 95%CI 0.06 to 0.39, Plt;0.000 1). Conclusion The incidence of emergence agitation after general anesthesia using sevoflurane is higher than that using propofol. Due to the limited quantity and quality, the application of sevoflurane should be chosen based on full consideration into patients’ conditions in clinic.
Objective To assess the influence of dexmedetomidine on the recovery of pediatric patients after sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods Such databases as PubMed (1966 to March 2012), The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2012), EBSCO (ASP) (1984 to March 2012), Journals@Ovid Full Text (1993 to March 2012), CBM (1978 to March 2012), CNKI (1979 to March 2012), VIP (1989 to March 2012), and WanFang Data (1998 to March 2012) were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the influence of dexmedetomidine on the recovery of pediatric patients after sevoflurane anesthesia, and the references of the included studies were also retrieved. Two researchers extracted the data and evaluated the methodological quality of the included studies independently. Then the RevMan 5.2 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 16 RCTs involving 1 217 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, compared with the placebo, dexmedetomidine could reduce the occurrence of emergence agitation (OR=0.18, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.25, Plt;0.000 01) and increase the occurrence of postoperative lethargy (OR=0.14, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.68, P=0.01), but there were no differences in the occurrence of side effects including bronchospasm, bucking, breathholding, and oxygen desaturation. Dexmedetomidine could also reduce mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of pediatric patients during the recovery period after sevoflurane anesthesia, but it increased emergence time (MD=2.14, 95%CI 0.95 to 3.33, P=0.000 4), extubation time (MD=1.26, 95%CI 0.51 to 2.00, P=0.000 9) and the time of staying in PACU (MD=4.72, 95%CI 2.07 to 7.38, P=0.000 5). Conclusions For pediatric patients recovering from sevoflurane-based general anesthesia, dexmedetomidine can reduce the occurrence of emergence agitation, and is helpful to maintain the hemodynamic balance. But it prolongs emergence time, extubation time (or the time of using the laryngeal mask) and the time of staying in PACU, and increases the occurrence of postoperative lethargy.

Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ to Ⅱ adult aged 20 to 59 years old, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in this study between July 2009 to November 2009. All patients were ranged randomly into Group Ⅰ (2% sevoflurane) and Group Ⅱ (3% sevoflurane).Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane in 100% oxygenat at 6 L/min.After the loss of eyelash reflex, remifentanil was injected over 30 s, end-tidal sevoflurane concentration 2% or 3% was maitained. The dose of remifentanil was determined by up-and-down method. In 90 s after the end of bolus administration of remifentanil, the trachea was intubated. Mean blood pressure and heart rate were recorded at anaesthetic induction, the loss of eyelash reflex, before, in 1 min and 3 min after intubation. Results ED50 values (95% confidence intervals)of remifentanil for tracheal intubation during 2% and 3% sevoflurane induction without neuromuscular relaxant were 0.585 μg/kg and 0.533 - 0.626 μg/kg, and 0.492 μg/kg and 0.451 - 0.572 μg/kg, respectively. Conclusion ED50 values (95% confidence intervals)of remifentanil for tracheal intubation 2% and 3% sevoflurane induction without neuromuscular relaxant are 0.585 μg/kg (0.533 - 0.626 μg/kg) and 0.492 μg/kg (0.451 - 0.572 μg/kg), respectively.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of sevoflurane and propofol on preoperative implicit and explicit memories in general anaesthesia patients of elective surgery.
MethodsThe surgical inpatients in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled from December 2013 to May 2014, and were randomly divided into three groups (S, P, M). In Group S, anesthesia was induced and maintained with sevoflurane. In Group P, anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol. Midazolam was not utilized throughout the whole anaesthesia for the above groups. Patients in Group S and Group P were given a list of test materials to remember and listen before the anesthesia. Within 12 to 36 hours after operation, memory was assessed, based on the Buchner's model applied on the process dissociation procedure (PDP) using a phrases task. The Group M was given the same test materials, and received test with the PDP in 12 to 36 hours before surgery. Value A and value R were used to represent the implicit memory score and the explicit memory score, respectively.
ResultsA total of 150 patients were included, and 50 cases were included in each group. During testing, 2 cases were excluded, 3 cases were loss to follow-up, so finally 49 cases were included in the Group S, 47 cases in the Group P and 49 cases in the Group M. The results showed that there were significant differences in the implicit memory score (A) and the explicit memory score (R) among the three groups (all P values <0.05). The explicit memory score (R) of the Group M was higher than those of the Group P and Group S (all P values <0.05), the implicit memory score (A) in the Group M was higher than those of the Group S and Group P (all P values <0.05), and the implicit memory score (A) in the Group S was higher than that of the Group P (P<0.05).
ConclusionPropofol and sevoflurane can decrease the score of explicit memory after anesthesia within 12 to 36 hours, and there are no significant differences in explicit memory between the two drugs. Both propofol and sevoflurane can decrease the score of implicit memory, but the influence of sevoflurane on the implicit memory is less than propofol within 12 to 36 hours.
