ABSTRACT
[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience on anesthesia techniques for surgery of spinal tumors.[Method]A total of 546 patients undergoing surgery of spinal tumors were retrospectively studied,and the complications of surgery were also collected.[Result]There was no perioperative death.The average degree of blood loss was 1997ml per patient who usually required a large volume of blood transfusion.Acute pumonlary edema were occurred in 3 patients who were suspected to develop larynx edema immediately after operation.A perioperative visual loss following cervical spine surgery was also founded.[Conclusion]It is important to prevent and minimize blood loss by varied techniques during operation.Peventing adverse effect of operative position on patients and protecting their airway are also crucial for spinal surgery.
ABSTRACT
Artery cannulation is one of the clinical skills that should be mastered by the internships of anesthesiology. In consideration of its invasiveness,teachers should carry out the clinical teaching strictly and patiently,and assist the internships to establish a correct opinion on clinical practice. We should train the internships step by step,improve their success rates on artery cannulation and avoid complications as far as possible.
ABSTRACT
Evidence-based medicine(EBM)is an inevitable development tendency of clinical medicine education in 21 century.Its core thinking is to combine evidence,personal experiences and patients'actual situation.The thinking of EBM will magnificently promote the conversion of conception and model of clinical education and will make significant influence on clinical teaching,scientific research and clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the controlled hypotension effects of nicardipine in 2 different ways for spinal tumor operalion. Methods: Twenty-four adult patients, scheduled for selective spinal tumor operation, were randomly divided into 2 groups. In groupⅠ(n=12), the nicardipine was infused at a rate of 10 μg*kg-1*min-1 and the infusion continued until MAP was at the level of 7.33-8.66 kPa, and then the rate was decreased to 1 μg*kg-1*min-1. In Group Ⅱ(n=12), nicardipine was given 0.01-0.02 mg/kg as the load dose, then infused at 1-2 μg*kg-1*min-1. Results: During the period of controlled hypotension, cardiac index(CI) increased significantly, other hemodynamic variables were stable and no hypertension rebound occurred in both groups. Reaching time of target blood pressure in groupⅡ was shorter than that in groupⅠ（P＜0.05）. The dose required to obtain target blood pressure in group Ⅱwas less than that in group Ⅰ（P＜0.05）. BP recovery time from discontinuing nicardipine infusion to pre-hypotension level,bleeding volume and transfusion volume were similar between 2 groups（P＞0.05）.During mass bleeding, serious arrhythmia and oliguria did not occur in any case. Conclusion: Controlled hypotension with nicardipine is rapid, stable and easily controlled without hypertension rebound. Nicardipine has considerable protective effects on heart and kidney during mass bleeding. The method of bolus injection followed with intravenous infusion is more suitable to clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the effects of autotransfusion and homologous transfusion on milieu interieurand secretion of erythropoietin (EPO) .Methods Thirty patients aged 8-21 yr undergoing surgical correction of kyphoscoliosis were randomly divided into two groups of fifteen: group A and group B. In group A patients received homologous transfusion during operation, while in group B shed blood was collected from operative field and after filtration RBCs were separated by a differential centrifugation and washed in normal saline and reinfused. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 2 ?g? kg-1 , propofol 1 mg ? kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg ? kg-1 and maintained with inhalation of isofiurane and 50% N2O in oxygen and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium and fentanyl. Blood routine, blood gases, electrolytes, plasma osmotic pressure and activated clotting time (ACT) were measured before operation, 2 h after skin incision and at the end of surgery. Blood EPO concentration was measured before operation, at the end of surgery and 24 h after operation. Results MAP and HCO3- were significantly lower during operation in group A than those in group B. Platelet count was significantly lower at the end of operation in group B than in group A but still within normal range. The EPO level increased at the end of operation and returned to preoperative level 24 h after operation in both groups, and there was no significant difference in EPO levels between the two groups. Conclusion Autotransfusion of the washes RBCs is helpful in maintaining the patients milieu interieur. There is no difference in EPO secretion and erythropoiesis between autotransfusion and homologous transfusion.
