ABSTRACT
Ever-evolving modern day cataract extraction techniques have been accompanied by the use of smaller quantities and less invasive methods of anesthesia. Topical anesthesia is routinely used for phacoemulsification. However, peribulbar block or some modification of it is used for anesthesia in manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) by most practitioners. The authors describe a technique using a combination of 1.5�milliliters of anesthetic mixture given subconjunctivally and supplemented with commercially available intracameral anesthetic and mydriatic for MSICS. It is possible to get high level of anesthetic effect and ease of surgery with this technique though there is a small learning curve. Several modifications from topical phacoemulsification like two side ports six o抍lock hours apart make this surgery easy to adapt to. No special instrumentation is required. It gives adequate analgesia and anesthesia to complete the surgery. a minimalistic anesthetic approach in MSICS can be used with enhanced safety and by avoiding usual complications of traditional peribulbar and retrobulbar anesthesia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of ultrasound-guided laryngeal nerve block combined with intratracheal surface anesthesia on the intubation reaction of double-lumen endotracheal tube in elderly hypertensive patients.Methods Sixty elderly hypertensive patients,including 37 males and 23 females, with ASA physical statusⅡor Ⅲ,aged 65-85 years,scheduled for thoracic surgery under general anesthesia requiring one-lung ventilation,were equally and randomly divided into either laryngeal nerve block combined with intratracheal surface anesthesia group (group S)or general anesthesia group (group C).Internal jugular vein blood samples were taken to measure the plasma concentrations of epinephrine (E)and norepinephrine (NE) when patients entering the operating room (T0 ),before intubation (T1 ),immediately after intubation (T2 ),at 1 min (T3 ),3 min (T4 ),5 min (T5 )and 10 min (T6 )after intubation.Adverse e-vents,such us hypertension and tachycardia,were recorded during induction and intubation.Results Com-pared with T0 ,the plasma concentrations of E and NE were significantly increased at T2-T5 in group C (P<0.05 or P <0.01),while there were no such significant changes in group S.The plasma concentration of E and NE at T2-T5 in group S were significantly lower than that in group C (P <0.05 or P <0.01).The incidence of hypertension in group S was significantly lower than that in group C during induction of intuba-tion (0% vs 37%,P <0.01).There were no hypotension,tachycardia and bradycardia during induction and intubation in both groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided laryngeal nerve block combined with intratra-cheal surface anesthesia can effectively inhibit the intubation reaction of double-lumen endotracheal tube in elderly hypertensive patients,which is helpful for maintaining the hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of lidocaine throat surface anesthesia on hemodynamics in patients with surgical operation. Methods From January 2013 to April 2016, 118 cases of patients with upper abdominal surgery in our hospital, were randomly divided into observation group (n=68) and control group (n=50), the observation group were given lidocaine throat surface anesthesia, the control group did not give the throat surface anesthesia, observed two groups before induction of anesthesia (T0), before intubation (T1) and after 1 min (T2), 5min (T3) and 10min (T4) intubation, heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) and other indicators.Results The observation group T1 and T2 SBP, DBP, MAP were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05);observation group SBP at T4 was lower than control group (P<0.05);HR of observation group and control group was not statistically significant at each period;The incidence of cough and cough classification in observation group were 22.06% and (1.20 ±0.73), which were significantly lower than that of control group 58.00%and (3.18 ±0.57)(P<0.05).The observation group and the control group breathing recovery time and the time of opening eyes difference had no statistically significant.Conclusion The surface of lidocaine anesthesia can reduce the cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation in patients with surgery and postoperative cough.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of surface anesthesia on assisted balloon dilatation when treating dysphagia caused by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Fifty-four patients with dysphagia after radiotherapy were divided randomly into an anesthesia group and a non-anesthesia group.The anesthesia group received anesthetics before treatment while the non-anesthesia group did not.All of the patients were treated with low-frequency electrical stimulation and assisted balloon dilatation for 3 weeks.They were then assessed using videofluoroscopy and self-reports of difficulty in swallowing before and after the treatment.Results After the treatment, significant improvement was observed in pharyngeal delay time, in cricopharyngeal opening, and in laryngeal elevation and forwardness.There was also a significant decrease in self-reported swallowing difficulty and failed swallows in both groups compared with before the treatment.The improvements in the non-anesthesia group were significantly greater than in the anesthesia group.After the treatment, the average aspiration rate of the anesthesia group was significantly higher than before treatment and higher than that of the non-anesthesia group.The improvement in oral intake of the non-anesthesia group was significantly better than that of the anesthesia group.Conclusion Balloon dilatation and low-frequency electrical stimulation have a synergistic effect and can improve patients' swallowing after radiation-induced cranial nerve damage, thus promoting survival.Assisted balloon dilatation without anesthesia has a better effect than when surface anesthesia is used.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To compare the efficiency of fibrin glue to suture technique in pterygium surgery performed with limbal autograft under different methods of anesthesia. METHODS: A prospective randomised clinical trial was carried out in 60 eyes of 55 patients operated for primary nasal pterygium, which were divided into two groups randomly: experimental group ( 30 eyes in 27 patients ) was under surface anesthesia ( oxybuprocaine ) and control group ( 30 eyes in 28 patients ) was under local anesthesia ( 20g/L lidocaine ). Autologous limbal graft taken from the superotemporal limbus was used to cover the sclera by a fibrin tissue adhesive after pterygium excision. Patients were followed up at least for 6mo. Time of operation, matching degree of graft and VAS score were mainly observed and recorded. RESULTS: In experimental group the average surgery time was shorter (P=0. 008) and matching degree of graft ( 93%) was better than control group ( 83%) , the differences had statistical significance(P CONCLUSION: The surface anesthesia is enough when using fibrin glue for graft fixation in pterygium surgery, which will shorten surgery time and get better matching degree of graft.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the intraoperative nursing cares in 25-gauge(25G) trans-conjunctiva sutureless vitrectomy(TSV25G). Methods The nursing cares,such as preparation,closely intraoperative cooperation,postoperative measurements and health education,were put into effect in 45 patients undergone TSV25G.Results 45 patients had undergone TSV25G successfully with the proper intraoperative cares.No severe complications was found.Conclusion Preoperative preparation,closely intraoperative cooperation,postoperative measurements and health instructions are important factors to make sure the TSV25G successful.
