ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the reliability of mannitol for fluid responsiveness test in the patients undergoing intracranial surgery.Methods Sixty-two ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective intracranial surgery,were enrolled in the study.The patients were mechanically ventilated after induction of anesthesia.The radial artery and central vein were cannulated,and FloTracTM/VigileoTM system was connected for stroke volume variation monitoring.Before infusion of mannitol,effective circulating blood volume was confirmed according to stroke volume variation.20％ mannitol 250 ml was infused over 20 min starting from onset of craniotomy.The fluid responsiveness test was recorded at the end of mannitol infusion.Results The sensitivity of fluid responsiveness test was 43％,and the specificity of fluid responsiveness test was 44％.Conclusion Mannitol can not be used for fluid responsiveness test in the patients undergoing intracranial surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes in skin microcirculatory perfusion during induction of general anesthesia and the effects oftwo fluid therapy regimens in patients undergoing abdominal surgery.Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-64 yr scheduled for elective major abdominal surgery were randomized to receive either 6% hydroxyetlayl starch(130/0.4)7 ml/kg(HES group,n=18)or lactated Ringer's solution 7 ml/kg(RL group,n=18)for compensatory intravascular volultne expansion(CVE)before tracheal intubation.Meanwhile both groups received continuous intravenous infusion of RL at a of 8 ml·kg~(-1)·h~(-1).Tracheal intubation was performed at 40 min after the onset of infusion.Anesthesia was maintained with with sevoflurane,remifentanil and rocuronium.Operation was started at 20 min after tracheal intubation.The microcirculatory perfusion was measured on forehead skin by using Doppler perfusion imaging system(LDPI)PI)at the onset of fluid infusion(T_0,baseline),the end of endotracheal intubation(T_1)and the onset of skin incision(T_2).Rwsults The MAP,HR,blood gases and body temperature were within the normal during the experiment and there was no significant difference between the 2 groups.The skin microcirculatory perfusion and CVP at T_1 were significantly higher in group HES than in group RL(P<0.05 or 0.01).Compared with the baseline value at T_0,the skin microcirculatory perfusion at T_1 was significantly increased in group HES(P<0.01),but there was no significant change in the skin microcirculatory perfusion at T_1 in group RL(P>0.05),the skin microcirculatory perfusion at T_2 was singificantly decreased in both groups(P<0.01),and CVP and PaO_2/FiO_2 at T_(1.2) were significantly increased,while Hb at T_(1.2) was significantly decreased in both groups(P<0.05).The skin microcirculatory perfusion in both groups was significantly lower at T_2 than at T_1(P<0.01).Conclusion The infusion of 6% HES 130/0.4 can improve the skin microcirculatory perfusion and the effect is better than that of RL during induction of general anesthesia in patients seheduled for abdominal surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of partial internal sphincterotomy on the postoperative pain after cutting seton treatment in patients with perianal infection. Methods A controlled study was carried out on 40 cases of cutting seton insertion with (Group A) or without (Group B) partial internal sphincterotomy. The subjects reported their postoperative pain at defecation and at rest respectively using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The intensity of pain between the two groups was compared. Results All the 40 patients were cured, without recurrence or fecal incontinence. During the period of cutting seton treatment, the pain scores at defecation and at rest were lower in the Group A than in the Group B ( P 0.05). Conclusions Internal sphincterotomy can significantly relieve anal pain after cutting seton treatment, being an effective method.
