RESUMEN
Afferent baroreflex failure(ABF)is a rare disease.It refers to the clinical syndrome caused by the impairment of the afferent limb of the baroreflex or its central connections at the level of the medul-la.The recognized causes include trauma,surgery in related areas(radical neck tumor surgery,carotid endarterectomy),neck radiotherapy,brain stem stroke,tumor growth paraganglioma and hereditary diseases,among which the most common cause is extensive neck surgery or radiotherapy for neck cancer.The main manifestations are fluctuating hypertension,orthostatic hypotension,paroxysmal tachycardia and bradycardia.This case is a young man,whose main feature is blood pressure fluctuation,accom-panied by neurogenic orthostatic hypotension(nOH).After examination,the common causes of hyper-tension and nOH were ruled out.Combined with the previous neck radiotherapy and neck lymph node dissection,it was considered that the blood pressure regulation was abnormal due to the damage of carotid sinus baroreceptor after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and neck lymph node dissection,which was called ABF.At the same time,the patient was complicated with chronic hyponatremia.Com-bined with clinical and laboratory examination,the final consideration was caused by syndrome of in-appropriate antidiuretic hormone(SIADH).Baroreceptors controlled the secretion of heart rate,blood pres-sure and antidiuretic hormone through the mandatory"inhibition"signal.We speculate that the carotid sinus baroreceptor was damaged after neck radiotherapy and surgery,which leads to abnormal blood pres-sure regulation and nOH,while the function of inhibiting ADH secretion was weakened,resulting in higher ADH than normal level and mild hyponatremia.The goal of treating ABF patients was to reduce the frequency and amplitude of sudden changes in blood pressure and heart rate,and to alleviate the on-set of symptomatic hypotension.At present,drug treatment is still controversial,and non-drug treatment may alleviate some patients'symptoms,but long-term effective treatment still needs further study.The incidence of ABF is not high,but it may lead to serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events,and the mechanism involved is extremely complicated,and there are few related studies.The reports of rele-vant medical records warn that patients undergoing neck radiotherapy or surgery should minimize the da-mage to the baroreceptor in the carotid sinus in order to reduce the adverse prognosis caused by complica-tions.
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the application effect of ciprofol-alfentanil in short urological surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients who were to undergo urological general anesthesia surgery in this hospital were divided into two groups by random number method:ciprofol-alfentanil group(group C)and propofol-alfentanil group(group P).Group C was injected with ciprofol 0.4 mg/kg,group P was injected with propofol 1.5-2.0 mg/kg,and when the bispectral index(BIS)was<60,the intravenous injection of alfen-tanil(10 μg/kg)and rocuronium bromide(0.6 mg/kg)was continued.When the modified alertness/sedation score(MOAA/S score)was 0,the laryngeal mask was placed and mechanical ventilation was used.During the maintenance period,ciprofol 0.8-1.2 mg·kg-1·h-1 was infused intravenously in group C,and propofol 4-6 mg·kg-1·h-1 was infused intravenously in group P.The heart rate(HR),blood pressure(BP),oxygen saturation(SpO2),end-tidal carbon dioxide(PetCO2),BIS and MOAA/S score were recorded at the begin-ning of anesthesia induction(T0),laryngeal mask insertion(T1),ureteroscopy entry(T2),10 min after sur-gery(T3)and the end of surgery(T4).The consciousness disappearance time,operation time,anesthesia re-covery time,drug dosage,injection pain during induction,hypotension,bradycardia and other adverse reactions during the operation were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in HR,SpO2,PetCO2,BIS value,MOAA/S score,operation time,consciousness disappearance time,and anesthesia recovery time be-tween the two groups at each time point(P>0.05).The dosage of sedative drugs in group C was less than that in group P(P<0.05).Compared with group P,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at T1-T3 and diastolic blood pressure at T4 increased in group C(P<0.05).Compared with T0,systolic blood pressure at T1-T4 in group C and group P decreased,diastolic blood pressure at T2-T4 in group C de-creased,and diastolic blood pressure at T1-T4 in group P decreased(P<0.05).Compared with group P,the injection pain and the incidence of intraoperative hypotension were reduced in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Cipro-fol-alfentanil is superior to propofol-alfentanil in short urological surgery.
RESUMEN
Hypertension and orthostatic hypotension (OH) often coexist in the range of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction, especially in the elderly population, where antihypertensive therapy may be more likely to cause OH. The incidence rate of hypertension combined with OH is increasing year by year, which brings clinicians a clinical dilemma as to what measures to provide to hypertensive patients to prevent the occurrence of OH in the future. However, current clinical studies have shown that the management strategies based on pathophysiology are effective for most patients. This paper mainly elaborates on the complex relationship between OH and hypertension, and discusses the risk factors and prevention strategies of hypertension with OH, in order to provide theoretical support for the prevention of OH in patients with hypertension.
RESUMEN
Sepsis is a condition characterized by organ dysfunction resulting from the systemic inflammatory response triggered by an infection. Excessive inflammation and immunosuppression are intertwined, and severe cases may even develop into multiple organ failure. Studies have shown that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1-mediated tryptophan metabolism is involved in the occurrence and development of sepsis, and elevated plasma kynurenine levels and Kyn/Trp ratios are early indicators of sepsis development. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive summary of the role of IDO1 in the acute inflammatory phase of sepsis, late immunosuppression, and organ damage. This includes its regulation of inflammatory state, immune cell function, blood pressure, and other aspects. Additionally, we analyze preclinical studies on targeted IDO1 drugs. An in-depth understanding and study of IDO may help to understand the pathogenesis and clinical significance of sepsis and multiple organ damage from a new perspective and provide new research ideas for exploring its prevention and treatment methods.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the association between intraoperative hypotension and post-operative acute kidney injury(AKI)in patients undergoing brain tumor resections.Methods A total of 428 patients undergoing elective craniotomy for tumor resection were selected,276 males and 152 females,aged≥18 years,BMI 15-36 kg/m2,ASA physical statusⅡ orⅢ.Based on postoperative occurrence of AKI,the patients were divided into two groups:the AKI group and the control group.This study defined three thresholds for hypotension,including MAP during surgery below 65 mmHg,60 mmHg,and 55 mmHg.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative AKI under three thresholds.Results A total of 107 patients had postoperative AKI.The re-sults of multivariable regression analysis indicated that intraoperative MAP<65 mmHg(OR = 1.11,95%CI 1.03-1.20,P = 0.010)and intraoperative MAP<60 mmHg(OR = 1.12,95%CI 1.02-1.23,P = 0.017)were associated with postoperative AKI.Conclusion Intraoperative MAP<65 mmHg or 60 mmHg is associated with postoperative AKI in patients undergoing brain tumor resection.
RESUMEN
Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children(MIS-C)related to SARS-CoV-2 and analyze the risk factors for hypotension.Methods:The clinical data of children with MIS-C who visited Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2023 to March 2023 were retrospectively collected,and the clinical characteristics and risk factors for hypotension were analyzed.Results:Thirty-six patients were included,the median age was 3.1 (2.3,5.8) years; 61.1% were boys.All cases had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection between 1 and 9 weeks before onset.Clinical symptoms included fever (100.0%); rash (94.4%); bilateral conjunctival congestion (88.8%); lips/oral cavity changes (100.0%); swollen hands and foot (61.1%); cervical lymphadenopathy (88.8%); acute gastrointestinal symptoms (61.1%) of diarrhea,abdominal pain and vomiting; neurologic manifestations (33.3%) of lethargy,headache,and convulsions; respiratory symptoms(41.6%) of cough,sore throat and shortness of breath.Nineteen (52.8%) cases developed hypotension and needed vasoactive drugs support to maintain blood pressure.Mechanical ventilation was required in four(11.1%) cases,and one patient was intubated and treated with continuous renal replacement therapy.The level of ferritin in hypotension group was significantly higher than those in normal blood pressure group( P<0.05),while the levels of platelet count,serum sodium and potassium in hypotension group were significantly lower than those in normal blood pressure group( P<0.05).Logistic regression multivariable analysis found the elevated serum ferritin ( OR=20.000,95% CI:2.750-145.481, P=0.003) was an independent risk factor for hypotension. Conclusions:MIS-C may be observed following SARS-CoV-2 infection.Various symptoms and signs,including fever,multiple organ dysfunction,and hypotension,may occur in children with MIS-C.Elevated ferritin is a risk factor for hypotension.
RESUMEN
Objective To systematically review the risk prediction models for intradialytic hypotension in maintenance hemodialysis patients,with a view to provide references for clinical practice.Methods PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,CINAHL,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and CBM were searched from inception to May 29,2023.2 reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted information and assessed methodological quality using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool.Results A total of 20 studies and 25 models were included with the sample size of 68~9 292 cases and the incidence of outcome events of 2.1~51%.Baseline systolic blood pressure,age,ultrafiltration rate,diabetes and dialysis duration were the top 5 predictors of repeated reporting of the models.20 models reported the area under the curve of ranging from 0.649 to 0.969,and 5 models reported calibration metrics.There were 9 internal validations and 4 combined internal and external validation models.The overall applicability of the 20 studies was good,but all had a high risk of bias,mainly in data analysis.Conclusion Research on risk prediction models for intradialytic hypotension in maintenance hemodialysis patients is still in the developmental stage.Future studies should improve the research design and reporting process,and validation studies of existing models should be carried out to further evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility in clinical practice.
RESUMEN
Objective:To summarize and compare the characteristics of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with Parkinson′s disease and multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods:The active standing test data of 210 Parkinson′s disease patients (Parkinson′s disease group) and 85 MSA patients (MSA group) admitted to the Department of Neurology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic information, clinical data, Hoehn-Yahr staging, and Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire (NMSQ), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and Mini-Mental State Examination scores were collected. The comparative analysis of OH was conducted according to the changes of heart rate and blood pressure during the active standing test.Results:Among the 85 patients with MSA, 52 were found with MSA parkinsonism variant (MSA-P) and 33 with MSA cerebellar variant (MSA-C). The 210 Parkinson′s disease patients were aged (61.5±11.0) years, with 116 males (55.2%). The 85 MSA patients were aged (60.1±6.8) years, with 44 males (51.8%). Compared with the Parkinson′s disease group, the Hoehn-Yahr staging [2.0(2.0, 3.0) vs 3.0(2.0, 3.0), Z=-5.278, P<0.001], NMSQ[ 25.0(11.0,46.5) vs 45.0(24.0,70.0), Z=-3.632, P<0.001] and UPDRS scores [50.0(32.0,68.0) vs 65.5(44.5,78.5), Z=-3.073, P=0.003] in the MSA group were higher. The incidence of OH in the MSA group was higher than that in the Parkinson′s disease group [63.5% (54/85) vs 25.7%(54/210), χ 2= 37.284, P<0.001], but there was no statistically significant difference between the MSA-P and MSA-C groups . Compared with the Parkinson′s disease group, the MSA group had a higher incidence of classical OH [54.1%(46/85) vs 12.9%(27/210), χ 2=55.316, P<0.001] and neurogenic OH [36.5%(31/85) vs 9.0%(19/210), χ 2=32.326, P<0.001],but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of initial OH and delayed OH between the two groups. The incidence of severe OH in the MSA group was also higher than that in the Parkinson′s disease group [57.6%(49/85) vs 16.7%(35/210), χ 2=49.894, P<0.001], but there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of pre-clinical OH and mild OH between the two groups. Conclusions:The incidence, time change, severity and pathophysiological basis of OH in Parkinson′s disease and MSA patients are different. Different types of OH may help to distinguish MSA from Parkinson′s disease.
RESUMEN
Abstract Platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is a rare condition of positional hypoxemia and dyspnea. The following is a case of hypoxemia for no obvious reason in the perioperative scenario. A 70-year-old male patient was submitted to a radical prostatectomy. On several occasions after anesthetic induction, peripheral oxygen saturation decreased without any understandable cause. In the postanesthesia care unit, severe hypoxemia occurred in the upright position, oddly correcting with recumbency. An echocardiography showed a right-to-left intracardiac shunt through a patent foramen ovale with no pulmonary hypertension, establishing POS. Achieving this diagnosis required a broad workup with a high degree of suspicion.
RESUMEN
Introducción: La hipotensión intracraneal espontánea es un síndrome causado por la disminución del volumen de líquido cefalorraquídeo consecuencia de su fuga al espacio extradural. Aunque la ICHD-3 proporciona un alto nivel de especificidad diagnóstica, esta enfermedad puede manifestarse de forma atípica. Hasta en un 30% no es posible establecer el punto de escape, pero con el refinamiento de los exámenes de imágenes este porcentaje se ha reducido a un 15%-20%. Actualmente, su manejo no se encuentra estandarizado y las recomendaciones se basan en evidencia de limitada calidad metodológica, además de la variabilidad de protocolos entre distintos centros. Desarrollo En esta revisión actualizamos los procedimientos diagnósticos y terapéuticos. Por un lado, analizamos el rol de la resonancia nuclear magnética de encéfalo y médula espinal completa como primer paso diagnóstico y, por otro lado, señalamos los exámenes destinados a determinar la fuga de líquido cefalorraquídeo. Tal es el caso de la mielo-resonancia, la mielo-tomografía computarizada, tanto estándar, dinámica y por sustracción digital, además de la cisternografía con 111-Indium-DPTA. Sin embargo, determinar cuál de estos exámenes es el óptimo es objeto de debate. Lo mismo ocurre con el tratamiento: reposo; parche sanguíneo epidural a ciegas, parche guiado por fluoroscopia o tomografía computarizada, parche de fibrina; o cirugía. Conclusiones Se requiere de una mayor investigación, especialmente con trabajos multicéntricos controlados, para una mejor comprensión de la fisiopatología, el diagnóstico por imágenes, los enfoques terapéuticos y evaluación objetiva de los resultados clínicos. Solo así se establecerán pautas diagnósticas y de tratamiento validadas.
Introducction: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension is a syndrome caused by decreased CSF volume secondary to its leakage into the extradural space Although ICHD-3 provides a high level of diagnostic specificity, manifestations may be atypical, making diagnosis challenging. The site of leakage may be undetermined in point Up to 30% of cases, although with recent refinement of imaging, this percentage has been reduced to 15-20%. Currently, management is not standardized and recommendations are based on inconclusive evidence, with variability of protocols between centres. Development. In this review, we update diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. We analyse the role of whole brain and spinal cord MRI as a first investigation and review tests aimed at determining cerebrospinal fluid leakage, such as MRI myelography, conventional CT myelography, dynamic CT myelography, and digital subtraction CT myelography, as well as 111-Indium-DPTA cisternography. Determining optimal use of these investigations remains a matter of debate. The same is true for treatment: rest, blind epidural blood patch, fluoroscopy or CT-guided epidural blood patch, fibrin patch and surgery are discussed. Conclusión: Further research, especially multicentre controlled studies, is required to improve understanding of pathophysiology, diagnostic imaging, therapeutic approaches and to objectively assess clinical outcomes. Only then will diagnostic and treatment guidelines be evidence-based.
RESUMEN
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to compare the efficacy of labetalol and lidocaine in tympanoplasty surgery, specifically evaluating their impact on hemodynamic changes and perioperative outcomes. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 64 patients scheduled for tympanoplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 0.5-2 mg/min labetalol or 1.5 mg/kg/h lidocaine 1% to achieve controlled hypotension during surgery. The efficacy of the drugs was assessed by comparing the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), surgeon's satisfaction, time to target MAP, bleeding volume, postoperative pain scores, the need for analgesic medication in recovery, sedation, and other additional parameters. Results The hemodynamic parameters showed a similar trend over time in both the labetalol and lidocaine groups. The median bleeding volume in the labetalol group (10 cc) was lower than that in the lidocaine group (30 cc), although this difference was not statistically significant (p= 0.11). Similarly, surgeon's satisfaction level, pain intensity, and sedation level in the recovery room did not show statistically significant differences between the two groups (p> 0.05). The duration of surgery, recovery stay, and extubation time also did not significantly differ between the groups. Both medications took approximately the same time (20 min) to reach the target MAP and exhibited comparable hemodynamic responses (p> 0.05). Conclusion Both labetalol and lidocaine effectively achieved controlled hypotension during tympanoplasty surgery, thereby improving surgical conditions. The choice of medication should be based on individual patient characteristics and the anesthesiologist's judgment. Level of evidence: II.
RESUMEN
Introduction: The prehospital phase of the management of pediatric severe traumatic brain injury may have a direct influence on the results. Objective: To evaluate the influence of prehospital variables on intracranial pressure and the results in pediatric patients with severe TBI. Method: A descriptive study of 41 pediatric patients who were admitted to the medical emergency department and later admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit due to severe head trauma was carried out between January 2003 and December 2018. Results: children aged 5-17 years predominate, and the highest number of cases were received between 0-3h at the neurotrauma center. Of the 41 cases, 27 arrived with a non-expedited airway and hypoxia was verified upon arrival by pulse oximetry. A correlation was observed between arterial hypotension on admission and elevated intracranial pressure in 9 of 15 children (60%) and in the deceased (40%). Discussion: Clinical conditions, oxygenation, arterial hypotension, and treatment in the prehospital phase may influence the state of intracranial pressure and other intracranial variables in pediatric patients with severe head injury.

Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal-recessive disorder distinguished by hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and hypocalciuria. Elderly people and women of childbearing age are highly affected by GC. Not much evidence is known about its effects on maternal and fetal outcomes. GS is caused by mutations in the thiazide-sensitive Na-Cl cotransporter gene. Due to its rarity and lack of knowledge, it is susceptible to misdiagnosis or being overlooked. In our case, the patient suffered from recurrent hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypochloraemia, and hypocalciuria with hypotension. After taking proper medication, the patient recovered slowly, and during counseling, the patient was provided a diet chart by nutritionists to avoid recurrent electrolyte imbalances.
RESUMEN
Objective: To study the correlation of objective parameters for diagnosing shock viz., perfusion index (PI), plethysmography variability index (PVI) and serum lactate (SL) with invasive blood pressure in late preterm and term infants with shock. Methods: Prospective observational study (diagnostic test) conducted at the neonatal intensive care unit of Kanchi Kamakoti CHILDS Trust Hospital, Chennai between June, 2018 and May, 2020. Term and late preterm neonates with shock were included in the study. PI, PVI, SL, SpO2 and heart rate were monitored. PI, PVI and SLL were recorded at 0,12, 24 and 72 hours of onset of shock. All the babies were followed up till discharge or death. Results: Total 78 neonates were enrolled in the study. At 0 hour, SL and PVI had negative correlation (P =0.002 and P=0.003) while PI had a weak-to-moderate positive correlation (P=0.002) with invasive blood pressure. SL ?4.65 had a sensitivity of 75% and specificity of 75.8%, and PI <0.455 had a sensitivity of 65%, and specificity of 58.6% for predicting invasive hypotension. PVI ?23.5 had a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 63.8% in predicting invasive hypotension. Conclusion: PI has moderate positive correlation while SL and PVI have moderate negative correlation with invasive blood pressure. The cutoff values of SL ?4.65, PI <0.45 and PVI ?23.5 can predict invasive hypotension with good sensitivity and negative predictive value.
RESUMEN
Las patologías cardiovasculares constituyen la causa más frecuente de muerte en el mundo, las más comunes son hipertensión e hipotensión. En la consulta odontológica, los pacientes con trastornos de presión arterial requieren diferentes protocolos de atención. En el tercer curso de odontología se tiene el primer contacto con pacientes, al haber estudiado y aprobado la parte teórica del manejo odontológico. Según los antecedentes encontrados, no existen investigaciones que abarquen ambos trastornos de la presión arterial, por lo que se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal para determinar el nivel de conocimiento en estudiantes del tercer curso Odontología UNAN-León, sobre trastornos de la presión arterial y su manejo odontológico en el segundo semestre del año 2021, por una encuesta tipo examen a estudiantes inscritos en cirugía bucal I, 55 estudiantes fueron encuestados. Se determinó que 50.9% tienen un nivel de conocimiento regular, seguido por 27.3% con nivel bueno, 12.7% deficiente y 9.1% obtuvo nivel de conocimiento excelente sobre los trastornos de presión arterial. Según investigaciones previas en odontología, la mayoría de los estudiantes presentaba un nivel de conocimiento deficiente sobre hipertensión arterial. Por lo que es importante evaluar periódicamente los niveles de conocimiento sobre éstos y otros trastornos que pueden presentarse en la consulta dental (AU)
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death world, hypertension and hypotension are very common nowadays. In the dental office, patients with blood pressure disorders require different care protocols. Students of the third year of dentistry have their first contact with patients, having studied and approved the theoretical part of dental management. According to antecedents researched, there are no investigations that cover both blood pressure disorders. So a descriptive cross-sectional study was made to determine the knowledge of third-year dentistry students UNAN-León, about blood pressure disorders and their dental management in the second semester of the year 2021, by an exam-type survey of students registered in oral surgery I, with 55 students surveyed. It determined that 50.9% have a regular level of knowledge, followed by 27.3% with a good level, 12.7% poor and 9.1% has an excellent level of knowledge about blood pressure disorders. According to previous research in dentistry faculty, the majority of students have a poor level of knowledge about high blood pressure. Therefore, it's important to evaluate periodically the levels of knowledge about these and other disorders that may occur in the dental office (AU)

Introduction: Dialysis still remains the most common modality for the treatment of end stage kidney disease and it could be maneuvered to augment its dose, minimize complications and improve outcome. Dialysis prescription is a brief of how dialysis is to be given and involves adjustments in patients' characteristics, disease or dialytic procedure. This study aimed to assess the determinants of the prescribed dialysis and its relationship with intradialytic complications and the dialysis dose. Methods: A prospective study in which 1248 sessions for 232 consented participants with end stage kidney disease on maintenance hemodialysis were studied from 2017-2020. Biodata was taken, participants were examined and blood samples were taken to determine electrolytes, urea/creatinine and hematocrit. Pearson's correlation was used to determine the strength of association between dialysis dose and some variables. Results: Determinants of the prescribed dose were dialysis frequency (P<0.001), and predialysis systolic blood pressure (P<0.001) and packed cell volume (P<0.001). Dialysis sessions without significant intradialytic blood pressure changes were most likely to be completed, as sessions with intra-dialysis hypotension were most likely to be terminated. Participants dialyzed with high flux dialyzers, via an arterovenous fistula, higher blood flow and ultrafiltration rates had higher dialysis doses (P<0.001 in all instances). Conclusion: Higher dialysis doses were achieved with higher blood flow and ultrafiltration rates. Intradialytic hypotension was common with dialysis termination, higher blood flow and ultrafiltration rates. Intradialytic hypertension was common with low flux dialyzers. An optimized dialysis prescription is needed to deliver an adequate dialysis dose and minimize complications

Orthostatic intolerance is a syndrome characterized by a series of symptoms that occur when standing upright, resulting in the loss of ability to maintain an upright position.This condition can be further classified into orthostatic hypotension, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and vasovagal syncope.Some scholars suggest that orthostatic hypertension may also be considered a part of this syndrome.The most significant risk associated with orthostatic intolerance is falls, which can lead to physical injury and psychological distress.This article aims to review the advancements made in the diagnosis and treatment of orthostatic intolerance, so as to enhance the standardization of clinical diagnosis and improve the effectiveness of treatment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the effect of different doses of compound sodium chloride injection combined with norepinephrine on prevention of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section.Methods:A total of 150 patients with a singleton fetus, aged 18-45 yr, at ≥37 weeks of gestation, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with height ≥150 cm, weighing ≤100 kg, with body mass index < 40 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective caesarean section under lumbar anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=50 each) by the random number table method: compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 groups (group A, group B, group C). Compound sodium chloride injection 4 ml/kg was intravenously injected for liquid preload before lumbar anesthesia, and 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 12.5 mg was injected to the subarachnoid space for lumbar anesthesia. Norepinephrine was intravenously injected at a dose of 6 μg immediately after intrathecal injection, followed by an infusion of 0.05 μg·kg -1·min -1, and infusion was stopped at 5 min after delivery. Compound sodium chloride injection was intravenously infused simultaneously at a rate of 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 in A, B and C groups, respectively. The maximum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmax) and the minimum diameter of inferior vena cava (IVCmin) were measured by ultrasound, and inferior vena cava collapse index (IVC-CI) was calculated at 1 min before fluid preload (T 1), immediately after fluid preload (T 2), at 5 min after anesthesia (T 3), at 5 min after fetal delivery (T 4) and immediately before leaving the operating room (T 5). The incidence of intraoperative adverse events (hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea, and vomiting) and neonatal outcomes (umbilical artery blood gas index and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min after birth) were recorded. Results:Compared with group A, IVCmin was significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group B, and IVCmin and IVCmax were significantly increased and IVC-CI was decreased at T 5 in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in IVCmax, IVCmin and IVC-CI at each time point between group B and group C ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of hypotension, severe hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, nausea and vomiting among the three groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the results of blood gas analysis of the umbilical artery and Apgar score at each time point after birth among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compound sodium chloride injection 4, 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 combined with norepinephrine can effectively prevent the occurrence of hypotension after lumbar anesthesia in the patients undergoing caesarean section without increasing maternal and infant adverse events, and the effect of 8 and 12 ml·kg -1·h -1 for volume supplementation is better than that of 4 ml·kg -1·h -1.
RESUMEN
Objective:To develop and validate a predictive model for post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) hypotension in elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods:The medical records of elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy at the Endoscopy Center of Subei People′s Hospital from March to June 2021, were retrospectively collected. The patients were randomly divided into training and validation sets according to the ratio of 3∶1. In the training set, the characteristic variables associated with PACU hypotension were screened by Lasso regression, and the independent risk factors for PACU hypotension were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis of the characteristic variables, according to which a nomogram model predicting the risk for PACU hypotension was established.The discrimination, calibration and accuracy of the model were evaluated by calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. And the clinical practicability of the model was determined by decision curve analysis and further assessed by external validation.Results:Of the 973 patients ultimately included, 378 patients experienced PACU hypotension, with an incidence of 38.8%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, prolonged preoperative water deprivation time, increased percentage of changes in SBP before and after induction, and intraoperative MAP <65 mmHg were independent risk factors for hypotension in the PACU, and intraoperative use of norepinephrine was a protective factor. The nomogram model was then developed based on the results. The area under the ROC curve was 0.710 (95% confidence interval [ CI] 0.672-0.748) in training set and 0.778 (95% CI 0.720-0.837) in validation set. In training and validation sets, the calibration curves were tested by Hosmer-Lemeshow good of fit test, the P values were 0.590 and 0.950, respectively. The decision curve analysis curve showed that the risk threshold of the prediction model in the training and validation sets were between 20% and 82% and between 18% and 92%, respectively, in the external validation. Conclusions:The nomogram model for prediction of PACU hypotension is successfully established based on age, prolonged preoperative water deprivation, percentage of change in SBP before and after induction, intraoperative MAP <65 mmHg and use of norepinephrine in elderly patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, and the model can visually and individually predict the risk of PACU hypotension.
