ABSTRACT
Improper control of depth of anesthesia is not only detrimental to the rapid and stable recovery of anesthesia, but also affects the postoperative outcome of patients. Therefore, accurate control of anesthesia depth is an urgent clinical and scientific problem in the field of anesthesiology. At present, different algorithm models derived from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are used to monitor the depth of anesthesia, but they cannot meet the requirements of anesthesiologists to accurately evaluate the depth of anesthesia. In recent years, the research on the mechanism and modulation of anesthesia-related neural network suggests that it has potential value as a method to monitor depth of anesthesia. Anesthesia-related neural networks mainly include sleep-wake circuit, thalamic-cortical circuit and corticocortical network. A thorough understanding of the neural network involved in the loss of consciousness caused by anesthesia will guide the depth of anesthesia monitoring more accurately and provide possibility for improving the quality of clinical anesthesia resuscitation.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Goal-directed fluid therapy [GDFT] was associated with improved outcomes after surgery. Noninvasive Cardiac Output Monitoring [NICOM] has proved to be a good choice for guiding GDFT. This study evaluated the effect of GDFT based on NICOM on prognosis in elderly patients undergoing resection of gastrointestinal tumor
Methods: Fifty patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic radical resection for stomach, colon or rectal cancer in Yongchuan Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between November 2014 and December 2015 were included and randomly divided into two groups: conventional fluid therapy [group C, n=25] and goal-directed fluid therapy [group G, n=25]. The primary outcome was moderate or severe postoperative complications within 30 days
Results: Finally, 45 patients successfully completed the study [group G, n=22; group C, n=23]. There were no difference of the duration of surgery, the requirement of vasoactive agents and the bleeding volume between two groups [P>0.05]. Total fluids infused were 2956 +/- 629 ml [group C] and 2259 +/- 454 ml [group G] [P<0.05], while the requirement of colloid was increased in group G [1103 +/- 285ml vs 855 +/- 226ml] [P<0.05]. The MAP and the mean CI were higher in group G [P<0.05]. Compared with group C, the time when the patients passed the flatus and the length of hospital stay after operation were shortened in group G [12.6 +/- 2.4 day vs17.2 +/- 2.6 day], the incidence of postoperative complications were significantly lower in group G [P<0.05]
Conclusions: Goal-directed fluid therapy based on NICOM was significantly associated with improvement of prognosis in elderly patients undergoing resection of gastrointestinal tumor which reduced postoperative complications
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of the unilateral lumbar anesthesia by hypobaric bupivacaine and general anesthe‐sia in elderly hip replacement and their influence on the stress response .Methods Forty elderly patients undergoing hip replace‐ment in our hospital from December 2013 to November 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the unilateral lumbar anesthe‐sia group and general anesthesia group according to the random number table ,20 cases in each group .Venous blood was collected to determine the levels of blood sugar ,serum catecholamine(CA) and cortisol(CORT ) at 10 min before anesthesia(T0 ) ,end of surgery (T1 ) and at postoperative 24 h(T2 ) .MAP ,HR ,SpO2 ,intraoperative adverse reactions and postoperative related complications were recorded at each time point ,and the comparative analysis was performed .Results All patients successfully completed surgery and the anesthetic effect was satisfied .The occurrence rates of intraoperative hypotension ,hypertension and bradycardia in the unilateral lumbar anesthesia group were lower than those in the general anesthesia group ,the differences had statistical significances (P>0 .05) .HR and MAP at T1 in the two groups were reduced ,but the differences between the two groups were no statistical signifi‐cance(P>0 .05);the levels of GLU ,CORT and CA were increased ,moreover the differences between the two groups were statisti‐cally significant(P<0 .05) .SpO2 at T2 in the general anesthesia group was obviously lower than that in the unilateral lumbar anes‐thesia group ,while CORT was higher than that in the unilateral lumbar anesthesia group ,the differences were statistically signifi‐cant(P<0 .05) .The occurrence rates of postoperative nausea and vomiting ,sore throat ,dizziness ,drowsiness and pulmonary infec‐tion in the unilateral lumbar anesthesia group were lower than those in the general anesthesia group ,the differences were statistical‐ly significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The unilateral lumbar anesthesia by using hypobaric bupivacaine and general anesthesia all could offer better anesthetic effect .The unilateral lumbar anesthesia by using hypobaric bupivacaine can effectively regulate the stress response in elderly patients with hip replacement .
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the influence of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) on brain injury in the infants with compli‐cated congenital heart disease(CHD) and simple CHD by analyzing and monitoring the perioperative cerebral electric impedance co‐efficient ,serum S‐100βprotein and neuron specific enolase (NSE) .Methods Forty infants with CHD were randomly selected and divided into two groups:the complicated group(n=20 ,13 cases of tertralogy of fallot ,7 cases of transposition of great arteries) and the simple group(n=20 ,8 cases of atrial septal defect ,12 cases of ventricular septal defect) .Blood samples were taken and the cere‐bral electric impedance coefficients before operation(T1 ) ,at 10 min after CPB(T2 ) ,immediately after aortic clamping(T3 ) ,aortic o‐pening(T4 ) ,end of CPB(T5 ) ,at 5 h(T6 ) and 24 h (T7 ) after CPB were measured by the BORN‐BE noninvasive brain edema moni‐tor .Serum levels of S‐100βprotein and NSE were detected by ELISA .Results There was no statistically significant difference in the cerebral electric impedance coefficient ,S‐100βprotein and NSE before surgery(P>0 .05) .The cerebral electric impedance coef‐ficient ,S‐100βprotein and NSE were significantly increased from the beginning to the end of CPB(P< 0 .05) ,and gradually de‐creased after CPB(P<0 .05) .The cerebral electric impedance coefficient ,S‐100βprotein and NSE were obviously higher in the com‐plicated group than those in the simple group at the same time points(P<0 .05) .The cerebral electric impedance coefficient was re‐spectively correlated with S‐100βprotein and NSE .Conclusion The influence of CPB on brain injury in complicating CHD infants is more serious than that in simple CHD infants .The BORN‐BE noninvasive brain edema monitor can be used during CPB periopera‐tive period in complicating CHD infants for conducting the real time monitoring in order to reduce brain damage .
