ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of dexmedetomidine on the swallowing reflex. Methods Sixty adult volunteers (ASAⅠ-Ⅱ) were randomly divided into two groups, dexmedetomidine sedation group and propofol sedation group respectively. The BIS value was maintained between 60-65 in both groups. Swallowing reflex was induced by water injection in the pharynx at different depths of sedation, and the swallowing movements were observed. Meanwhile, the RR, SpO2 and OAA/S scores were recorded. Results The swallowing reflex existed in dexmedetomidine sedation group when BIS values was maintained at 60, which had significant difference compared with that in propofol sedation group. The RR, SpO2, OAA/S score in dexmedetomidine sedation group also had statistical difference compared with that in propofol sedation group during swallowing reflex test. Conclusions Slow infusion of dexmedetomidine to maintain the BIS value above 60 will not affect swallowing reflex, and can obtain satisfactory hemodynamic stability. It′clinical safety is high.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical effects of ultrasound-guided median nerve block on carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods A total of 40 patients (69 hands,aged 33-61 years,ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly assigned into ultrasound group (group U) and control group (group C),20 cases in each.The ultrasound group underwent ultrasound-guided median nerve blocking,while the control group did through by anatomic landmark palpation.3 ml of 4.5 mg bupivacaine,5 mg triamcinolone acetonide and 100 μg vitamin B12 was injected in a single shot in the two groups.Symptoms and functions were evaluated by Boston carpal tunnel questiormaire (BCTQ) at the onset and after the treatment.Electrophysiological parameters were recorded at the time of pretreatment and post-treatment.Cases receiving two or more and side effects were also recorded.Results Both the symptom severity scale (SSS) and funcational status scores(FSS) of the BCTQ showed significant decrease 1 month after treatment in the two group (P＜0.05).Compared with group C,SSS of group U showed a significant decrease (P＜0.05),while there was no significance difference in FSS.Compared with pretreatment,MDL,SDL3 showed a significant decrease and SNCV showed significant increase 1 month after treatment in the two group (P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the MNCV.SNCV was quicker in group U than in group C at 1 month after treatment (P＜0.05),while other electrophysiological parameters were not significantly different between the two groups.Less cases with treatment times≥2 and less side effects were found in group U than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Median nerve blocking under ultrasound guidance effectively improves the symptom in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and reduces complications.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe and compare the control effect of monitored anesthesia care on stress reaction of operation under local anesthesia.Methods Fourty-five patients who undered ophthalmology and otolaryngology operation and ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ class,aged 20-55 years were enrolled.They were randomly divided into 3 groups:monitored anesthesia care(M group),general anesthesia (G group),and local anesthesia (L group).All of three groups were performed local nerve block anesthesia.Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)、heart rate (HR) were recorded at enter room (T1),the strongest operation stimulation (T2),the end of operation (T3).At the same time,the levels of blood glucose,plasma cortisol (Cor) were assayed.The scores of state of anxiety (S-AI) before operation and after operation in two groups were compared.Results The levels of MAP and Cor at T2,T3 and HR at T2 in G group and M group were significantly lower than those at T1:(68.1 ± 8.2),(78.8 ± 12.8) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) vs.(95.7 ± 11.3) mmHg;(80.8 ± 11.7),(86.2 ± 9.0)mmHg vs.(94.7 ± 11.5) mmHg;(207.0 ±71.8),(135.2 ± 60.9) nmol/L vs.(336.7 ± 121.4) nmol/L;(220.8 ± 113.2),(190.4 ± 149.0) nmol/L vs.(347.8 ± 154.6) nmol/L;(68.1 ± 10.6) beats/min vs.(79.9 ± 14.2)beats/min;(70.3 ± 10.1) beats/min vs.(80.6 ± 12.2) beats/min,there were significant differences (P ＜0.05).The level of blood glucose at T3 was significantly lower than that at T1 in G group [(4.9 ± 0.7) mmol/L vs.(5.5 ± 0.6) mmol/L],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of MAP,Cor at T2 in G group and M group,at T3 in G group were significantly lower than those at the same point in L group:[(68.1 ± 8.2),(80.8 ± 11.7) mmHg vs.(93.4 ± 12.5) mmHg,(207.0 ± 71.8),(220.8± 113.2) nmol/L vs.(367.1 ± 157.3)nmol/L,(78.8 ± 12.8) mmHg vs.(92.6 ± 15.3) mmHg,(135.2 ± 60.7) nmol/L vs.(311.9 ± 165.6) nmol/L],there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of S-AI at postoperative in G group and L group were significantly lower than that at preoperative:(31.5 ± 6.6) scores vs.(44.3 ± 15.0) scores,(35.2 ± 11.5) scores vs.(49.3 ± 14.2) scores,there were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Monitored anesthesia care can alleviate stress reaction in operation with local anesthesia,while its effect is similar with general nesthesia.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility and efficacy of mitomycin C(MMC) in the treatment of airway scarring stenosis.@*METHOD@#The clinical materials of 11 patients with airway stenosis treated with MMC from 2008 to 2012 were analyzed retrospectively,including atresiaofnasopharynx/choanal atresia (2 cases), pharyngostenosis (1 case), and laryngotracheal stenosis (8 cases). All were treated with endoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Patients received topical application of MMC (0.4 mg/ml) to the lesion for 5 minutes after the scar tissue removed and repeated five times.@*RESULT@#No patients occurred restenosis in 2 months' follow-up postoperative. Two patients with atresiaofnasopharynx/choanal atresia achieved satisfactory ventilation outcome, 8 patients with laryngotracheal stenosis decannulated successfully, 1 patients with pharyngostenosis achieved near normal deglutition.@*CONCLUSION@#MMC in endoscopic airway surgery is safe and effective in the treatment of airway stenosis and offers a high success rate for patients with grade 1-2 stenosis. It should be used as a first method in the treatment of airway stenosis.

ObjectiveTo determine the depth of sedation induced by target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol required to inhibit the swallowing reflex.MethodsThirty-five ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ healthy volunteers,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2,were enrolled in the study.Sedation was performed with TCI of propofol.The initial target plasma concentration (Cp) of propofol was set at 2.4 μg/ml and the Cp increased or decreased by 0.2 μg/ml every 5 min until the BIS value reached the predetermined level.The initial Cp of propofol was increased or decreased by 0.3 μg/ml in the next subject according to the BIS value in the previous one.The up-and-down sequential experiment was pedormed.The BIS value was set at 65 in the first subject and the ratio of the BIS value between the two consecutive subjects was 1.1.The BIS value was increased or decreased depending on the occurrence of the swallowing reflex in the previous subject.The half-effective BIS value (BIS50) and 95％confidence interval (CI) of propofol inhibiting the swallowing reflex were calculated by up-and-down sequential method.ResultsThe BIS50 of propofol required to inhibit the swallowing reflex was 64.4 (95％ CI 59.3-69.8).ConclusionThe BIS50 and 95％ CI of propofol administered by TCI and required to inhibit the swallowing reflex is 64,4 (59.3-69.8).
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacy of Discoscope endoscope and GlideScope video laryngoscope for difficult glottis exposure.Methods Forty adult patients of both sexes scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia whose glottis was not visible at laryngoscopy (grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ according to Cormach-Lehane Grading of laryngoscopic view) were randomized into 2 groups (n =20 each):group GlideScope video laryngoscope (group G) and group Discoscope endoscope (group D).The glottis exposure time,intubating conditions,time from exposure of glottis to completion of tracheal intubation and incidence of postoperative sore throat and throat bleeding were recorded and compared between the 2 groups.Results Compared with group G,the glottis exposure time was significantly longer,the rate of backward pressure of cricoid cartilage lower,the time from exposure of glottis to completion of tracheal intubation shorter and the success rate of tracheal intubation at first attempt higher (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the success rate of tracheal intubation at second attempt and postoperative incidence of sore throat and throat bleeding between the 2 groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion DiscoScope endoscope is superior to GlideScope video laryngoscope in the management of difficult intubation in term of glottis exposure and success rate of tracheal intubation at first attempt.
