RESUMEN
【Objective】 To compare the anesthestic effects of ultrasound-guided retrolaminal block （RLB） and local anesthesia during posterior approach vertebral surgery. 【Methods】 Forty patients （ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ） scheduled for transforaminal lumbar spine endoscopic surgery were recruited and randomly divided into two groups （n=20）： RLB group and local anesthesia group （Group C）. RLB group received the ultrasound-guided retrolaminar block using parasagittal in plane method by an anesthesiologist while Group C received layer-by-layer local infiltration anesthesia according to the operation location； 0.5% ropivacaine of 20 mL was used in the two groups. We recorded visual analogue score （VAS） and Ramsay sedation score at admission （T0）， during skin incision （T1）， puncture （T2）， foraminoplasty （T3）， nerve root decompression （T4） and suture （T5）. We also recorded remedial analgesia rate， scores of the patients’ satisfaction and the intraoperative occurrence of side effects （respiratory depression， tachycardia and hypertension）. The patients were followed up. Their functional status was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index （ODI） score before surgery and three months after surgery. 【Results】 Compared with Group C， RLB group had significantly decreased visual analogue score at T2-4 and lower remedial analgesia rate （P<0.05）. The patients’ satisfaction was higher in group RLB than in Group C （P<0.05）. The intraoperative occurrence of hypertension and tachycardia were significantly lower in RLB group than in Group C （P<0.05）. ODI score was significantly decreased three months after surgery in both groups （P<0.05）， but it did not differ significantly between the two groups （P>0.05）. 【Conclusion】 Ultrasound-guided RLB can provide satisfactory analgesia with greater safety when trasforaminal endoscopic surgery is used.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of nalbuphine in preventing shivering after neuraxial anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section.Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-35 yr,weighing 55-80 kg,undergoing elective cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia,were divided into nalbuphine group (group N,n=40) and control group (group C,n=40) using a random number table method.After delivery,nalbuphine 0.1 mg/kg was intravenously injected immediately before clamping the umbilical cord in group N,and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C.Ramsay sedation score was recorded before giving nalbuphine,at 5 min after giving nalbuphine,and at the end of surgery.The development of shivering was recorded from the end of nalbuphine administration until the end of surgery,and the shivering intensity was estimated using Wrench grading.The development of over-sedation,nausea and vomiting,bradycardia,hypotension and dizziness was recorded from the end of nalbuphine administration until the end of surgery.Results Compared with group C,Ramsay sedation scores were significantly increased at 5 min after giving nalbuphine and at the end of surgery,the incidence of shivering was decreased,the shivering intensity was reduced (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of adverse reactions in group N (P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Nalbuphine can prevent the occurrence of shivering after neuraxial anesthesia in patients undergoing cesarean section.
RESUMEN
Objective:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and midazolam in procedural sedation. Methods: PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,CNKI,CBM and WanFang databases were retrieved to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCT) about comparion of efficacy and safety between dexmedetomidine and midazolam in procedural sedation up to March, 2017. Based on the inclusion criteria, the data extraction and quality evaluation were performed, and then the systematic evaluation was carried out.The outcome measures for efficacy were the satisfaction scores and pain scores of the patients and clinicians;the outcome measures for safety comparison were hypotension, hypoxia, and circulatory and respiratory complications.Results:There were 14 RCT satisfied the inclusion criteria including 949 patients.Compared with midazolam group, the incidence of pain, delirium, and analgesia of the patients in dexmedetomidine group had significant differences (P0.05).Conclusion:When the adult patients are sedated, dexmedetomidine can be used as an ideal alternative to midazolam sedation.
RESUMEN
Objective To compare the blood-saving effect when acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) was performed with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 dissolved in electrolyte injection (HES-E) and HES 130/0.4 in sodium chloride injection (HES-NaCl).Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 18-60 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m2,hemoglobin (Hb) ＞100 g/L,hematocrit (Hct) ＞ 35％,scheduled for elective abdominal operations under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into HES-E group and HES-NaCl group using a random number table,with 15 patients in each group.AHH was performed after induction of anesthesia.In HES-E and HES-NaCl groups,HES-E and HES-NaCl 15 ml/kg were intravenously infused over 30 min,respectively,and the infusion was conpleted before skin incision.Immediately after onset of AHH (T1),at 2 h after the end of AHH (T2),and at the end of operation (T3),arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis and blood routine test,and pH value,base excess,HCO3-,K+,Na+,Cl-,Ca2+,Hb and Hct were recorded.Venous blood samples were collected at T1 and T2 for measurement of blood coagulation parameters including prothrombin time,activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen and thrombelastography parameters.The volume of liquid intake and output and requirement for allogeneic blood transfusion were recorded,and the blood volume expansion rate was calculated.Results Compared with group HES-NaCl,no significant changes were found in the total volume of liquid infused,requirement for allogeneic blood transfusion,blood volume expansion rate,blood coagulation parameters at each time point,Hb and Hct (P＞0.05),pH value,base excess,HCO3 and K+ were significantly increased,and Na+ and Cl-were significantly decreased in group HES-E (P＜0.01).Conclusion There is no significant difference in the blood-saving effect between AHH with HES-E and HES-NaCl clinically,but HES-E can maintain homeostasis better.
RESUMEN
A design scheme of a tele-screening system for diabetic retinopathy (DR) has been proposed, especially the communication subsystem. The scheme uses serial communication module consisting of ARM 7 microcontroller and relays to connect remote computer and fundus camera, and also uses C++ programming language based on MFC to design the communication software consisting of therapy and diagnostic information module, video/audio surveillance module and fundus camera control module. The scheme possesses universal property in some remote medical treatment systems which are similar to the system.
