RESUMEN
Objective:To determine the effects of preperitoneal balloon (PPB) tamponade with different volumes of fluid on hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage in a swine model.Methods:A model of open-book pelvic fracture with injuries to external iliac vessels was established in 18 female 12-month old Bama miniature pigs. After the successful establishment of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture with vascular injury was confirmed by contrast agent imaging, the animals were randomized into 3 even groups ( n=6): a control group (group C) subjected to PPB tamponade with 0 mL fluid injected, group T1 subjected to PPB tamponade with 500-mL fluid injected, and group T2 subjected to PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected. The 3 groups were compared in terms of 60-min survival rate, balloon pressure, peritoneal pressure, bladder pressure, 70-min survival rate, blood loss, and infusion volume. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the basic hemodynamic or other experimental indicators among the 3 groups before experiment, indicating comparability ( P>0.05). The 60-min survival rate in group T2 was 100.0% (6/6), significantly higher than those in group C and group T1 [0.0% (0/6), 0.0% (0/6)] ( P<0.05). After fluid injection, the balloon pressure and preperitoneal pressure in group T2 were respectively (127.2±4.7) mmHg and (34.5±3.6) mmHg, significantly higher than those in group T1 [(78.7±3.8) mmHg and (13.7±2.8) mmHg] and in group C [0 mmHg and (9.0±1.4) mmHg], and the 2 indicators in group T1 were significantly higher than those in group C (all P<0.05). After fluid injection, there was no statistically significant difference among groups C, T1, and T2 in bladder pressure [(6.7±1.0) mmHg, (5.8±1.9) mmHg, and (6.0±1.1) mmHg] or in bleeding volume [(1,163.0±191.3) mL, (1,212.0±148.4) mL, and (975.0±133.2) mL] (all P≥ 0.05). The infusion volume in group T1 [(1,250.0±225.8) mL] was significantly larger than that in group C [(951.7±177.8) mL] ( P<0.05). No colorectal or bladder injuries were found by the anatomy of the experimental animals in 3 groups. Conclusions:PPB tamponade with 1,000-mL fluid injected in a swine model can efficiently control pelvic fracture-associated arterial and venous hemorrhage, and increase the 60-min survival rate with no colorectal or bladder injuries.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of sugammadex on the quality of recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery in severely obese patients.Methods:One hundred and eighty patients, aged 18-65 yr, with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m 2, undergoing elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ, were enrolled and divided into 2 groups ( n=90 each) by the random number table method: sugammadex group (S group) and neostigmine group (N group). Before anesthesia, bilateral T 6 and T 9 paravertebral nerve blocks were performed, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.When the reappearance of T 2 was monitored under train-of-four (TOF) stimulation after the end of surgery, and sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected in S group, and neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg and atropine 0.02 mg/kg were intravenously injected in N group.After the patient was transferred to the general ward, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was injected intravenously every 12 h, and oxycodone and flurbiprofen axetil were used for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia at the same time.When the numerical rating scale (NRS) score ≥4 and the analgesic pump was ineffective, bilateral T 7 paravertebral nerve block was performed for rescue analgesia, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.The postoperative quality of recovery was assessed by the 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before operation and at 24 h after operation.The TOF ratio ≥ 0.9 and extubation time were recorded.The SpO 2 at the time of transfer to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the lowest SpO 2 and occurrence of SpO 2 < 92% during PACU were recorded.The occurrence of residual muscle relaxation and Ramsay sedation score were recorded at 30 min after entering PACU.The time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were recorded.The cumulative consumption of oxycodone, requirement for rescue analgesia, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia, and pulmonary complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:There were no significant differences in the total score of 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before surgery and at 24 h after surgery, cumulative consumption of oxycodone within 48 h after surgery, rate of rescue analgesia, and incidence of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia and pulmonary complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with N group, the scores of the three recovery indicators (feel energized with enough rest, engagement in work or family activities, and tension and anxiety) were significanatly increased, time to TOF ratio ≥ 0.9, extubation time, time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were shortened, and the incidence of residual muscle relaxation was decreased in S group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Antagonizing residual muscle relaxation with sugammadex is helpful for the recovery of severely obese patients after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Objective To evaluate the effects of hearing disorder factors on analgesic efficacy of propofol. Methods Ninety?five patients with hearing disorders, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 20-30 kg∕m2, scheduled for elective ear surgery, served as test group(group T). Ninety?five patients with normal hearing function, of Ameri?can Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 20-30 kg∕m2, scheduled for elective non?ear surgery, served as control group(group C). Propofol was given at the initial target plasma concentration of 1.2 μg∕ml. When the target plasma concentration was achieved, 1 min later the concentration was increased in increments of 0.3 μg∕ml. When the patients lost eyelash reflex and had no responses to clapping on the shoulder, bispectral index value and target plasma and effect?site concentrations of propofol, consumption of propofol and time for loss of consciousness were recorded. Re?sults Compared with group C, no significant change was found in bispectral index value at baseline or at loss of consciousness(P>0.05), the target plasma and effect?site concentrations and consumption of propofol were significantly decreased, and the time for loss of consciousness was shortened in group T(P<0.05). The consumption of propofol required at loss of consciousness was gradually reduced with the aggra?vated severity of hearing disorders in group T(P<0.05). Conclusion The analgesic efficacy of propofol is enhanced in the patients with hearing disorders.

RESUMEN
Objective To study the operative technique and effect of temporary balloon occlusion of the abdominal aorta for preventing intraoperative bleeding during cesarean for patients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta. Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on the intraoperative situation of forty-one cases and information of follow-up twenty-nine cases, which were pernicious placenta previa and placenta accreta and delivered in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. Diagnosis was confirmed by line of color Doppler ultrasound and MRI for all patients before operations. An interventional physician performed right femoral artery puncture and preset the abdominal aortic balloon catheter in the digital subtraction angiography operation room before cesarean. At the same time of fetal delivery, 10 ml normal saline was injected into the balloon immediately, which results in filling of the balloon and blocking of the aorta. According to the area and depth of placenta implantation and implantation or penetration of the posterior bladder wall, placenta separation, partial resection of the uterine wall and partial bladder resection and repair were performed correspondingly. Meanwhile, saline in the balloon was pumped out gradually until empty. Condition of placenta implantation, blood loss and blood transfusion volume during the operation, intraoperative and postoperative complications, the duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure, and Apgar score of neonates were analyzed. Results Among the 41 cases, penetrative placenta and implanted placenta were observed in five cases and 36 cases, respectively. The latter 36 cases including 28 cases of bladder posterior wall accreta and eight cases of bladder posterior wall penetration. For all cases, the average operation time was (68.5±15.3) min, the mean blood loss in the operation was (1 058±960) ml, among which eight received blood transfusion with an average of (600±400) ml, and the mean hospital stay was (8.2±2.3) d. Uteruses were reserved in all cases. The mean duration and dose of fetal radiation exposure was (8.1±3.6) s and (5.2±2.9) mGy, and the Apgar score of neonates was 8.7±0.5 at 1 min and 9.5±0.3 at 5 min, respectively. The patients were followed up until October 31, 2014. Among them, six were lost, six were still in puerperium, 18 were breast-feeding, and the menses of 11 had returned. Conclusion Preset abdominal aortic balloon catheter in pernicious placenta previa and placenta accrete patients might effectively reduce the blood loss during cesarean section as well as the risk of hysterectomy through temporary occlusion of the abdominal aorta.
