ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of esketamine combined with butorphanol in endotracheal intubation guided by fiberoptic bronchoscopy with spontaneous breathing.Methods:Forty patients suspected of having difficult airways during elective general anesthesia operations in Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital were prospectively selected and divided into control group and observation group by random number table. Propofol plus sufentanil, esketamine plus butorphanol were used for intravenous general anesthesia respectively. At the same time, they were assisted with cricothyroid puncture and surface anesthesia of nasopharynx and larynx, and then trachea intubation with spontaneous breathing was performed through the nose under the guidance of fiberoptic bronchoscope. The changes of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), and the levels of serum cortisol, norepinephrine and adrenaline before and after endotracheal intubation were compared between the two groups. The number of body motions and coughing at the completion of endotracheal intubation was compared between the two groups. Results:In the control group, the HR and MAP at the completion of intubation were higher than those before intubation, and the PaO 2 was lower than those before intubation (all P<0.05); In the observation group, there was no significant difference in HR, MAP and PaO 2 at the completion of intubation and before intubation (all P>0.05). The HR and MAP at the end of intubation in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the PaO 2 was higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The number of body motion and coughing in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group at the completion of endotracheal intubation (all P<0.01). At the end of endotracheal intubation, the serum cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine level in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Esketamine combined with butorphanol has advantages over propofol combined with sufentanil in the application of fiberoptic bronchoscopy guided tracheal intubation in difficult airways that retain spontaneous breathing, and can better control the stress response caused by tracheal intubation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the advantages and disadvantages of thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with new nasopharyngeal airway preserved spontaneous breathing anesthesia and traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with general anesthesia for thoracoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 48 patients with thoracoscopic surgery admitted to the department of thoracic surgery, Hunan Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2020 to May 2022 were selected and divided into two groups by random number table method, with 24 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with a new type of nasopharyngeal airway to retain spontaneous breathing; The control group was treated with traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with general anesthesia. The sedation and analgesia scores, perioperative plasma cortisol, norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, hemodynamic indexes, intraoperative opioid dosage at different time points (T0 after intubation or nerve block, skin incision T1, artificial pneumothorax T2, focus resection T3, and chest closure T4), as well as early out of bed activity and length of stay in hospital after operation were compared between the two groups.Results:The sedation scores of the observation group at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05); The analgesic scores at T2, T3 and T4 in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The plasma cortisol and epinephrine levels at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05); The levels of norepinephrine at T1, T2, T3 and T4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in heart rate at T1 between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05), but the heart rate at T0, T2, T3, T4 was lower than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The mean arterial pressure at each time point in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The total amount of opioid in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of rest and exercise in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The time of getting out of bed , standing, walking, anus exhaust and blowing out the lighter in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The times of nausea and vomiting, patient controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) pressing and hospitalization in the observation group were significantly less than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Thoracic paravertebral nerve block combined with new nasopharyngeal airway to preserve spontaneous breathing " tubeless" anesthesia can provide better sedation and analgesia effect and lower perioperative stress level than traditional double-lumen bronchial intubation combined with intravenous inhalation general anesthesia. It also has obvious advantages in rapid recovery after surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role of Clara cells in lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four healthy 10-12 month old rabbits of either sex weighing 1.5-2.0 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 8 each) ; group A sham operation (group S) ; group B lung I/R and group C Clara cell elimination+ lung I/R. The animals were anesthetized with iv pentobarbital 30 mg/kg , tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. In group B and C lung I/R was induced by clamping the left hilum of lung for 60 min followed by 120 min repeffusion. In group C Clara ceils were eliminated by ventilating the lungs with 89.28 mg/m2 naphthalin vapor for 12 h before lung I/R. The animals were killed by iv KCI at the end of 120 min reperfusion after lung isehemia. The left lung was immediately removed for microscopic examination, determination of W/D lung weight ratio and serum TNF-α level and MDA content. The percentage of neutrophi] in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was detected as index of lung injury. The expression of Clara cell secreting protein (CCSP) in the lung was detected by immuno-histoebemistry to indicate the number and distribution of Clara cells in the lung.Results Microscopic examination showed that there were severe leukocyte infiltration in alveolar spaces, alveolar edema and destroyed alveolar structure in group B and C. The serum TNF-u leve],W/D ratio and MDA content in the left lung and neutrophil percentage and WBC counts in BALF were significantly higher in group C than in group B. Conclusion Clara cells can protect the lungs against I/R injury through inhibiting inflammatory responses.
