Effect of a single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine on emotion of patients with colorectal cancer during early period of postoperation / 临床麻醉学杂志

Objective To investigate the impact of a single sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine on postoperative emotional reactions of anxiety and depression during colorectal tumors surgery. Methods A total of 42 patients undergoing selective colorectal surgery,aged 18 to 65 years,were randomly divided into ketamine group (group K)and control group (group C).After induction of an-esthesia,a single intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg ketamine and saline were used in Group K and group C 5 minutes before the operation respectively.The intravenous analgesia program was identical between the two groups.The patients??emotional reactions (anxiety,depression)were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD),the quality of recovery was assessed using the QoR-40 questionnaire on the day before operation and within postoperative 48 hours respectively.Pain was estimated by the visual analog scale (VAS)and sedation was assessed with Ramsay score 30 mi-nutes after extubation.The time of anesthetic end and extubation were recorded.The complications during anesthesia and recovery such as cough, agitation 30 minutes extubation were recorded. Results The HAD-A and HAD-D scores of group K were lower than group C (P <0.05)48 h post-operatively.There was no difference on the QoR-40 score postoperative 48 h between the two groups. The patients??emotional state QoR-40 score of group K were higher than group C (P <0.05 ).The VAS scores 30 minutes after extubation of group K were lower than group C (P <0.05).There was no significant difference on sedation score 30 minutes postoperatively between the two groups.There was no significant difference in extubation time,cough,agitation and delirium between the two groups.There was no dizziness, nausea, vomiting or diplopia 30 minutes after extubation. Conclusion A single subanesthetic dose of ketamine can significantly reduce the scores of postopera-tive anxiety and depression,improve the quality of recovery,and no postoperative adverse reactions increased.

Evaluation on Efficacy and Safety of Tribromoethanol and Tribromoethanol plus alpha2-Adrenergic Agonists in Different Mouse Strains / 한국실험동물학회지

The present study was carried out to provide a guideline for injecting tribromoethanol (TBE) as the main anesthetic agent, while adjusting the doses of xylazine (X) and medetomidine (M) according to different strains of mice (male ICR, C57BL/6, and BALB/c). Seven intraperitoneal injection anesthesia protocols using TBE and mixtures of TBE and alpha2-adrenergic agonists (TBE/X and TBE/M) were compared in terms of their efficacy and safety (anesthetic duration, death rate, and the development of pathological lesions of abdominal organs). All animals that were injected with a low dose of TBE (200 mg/kg) displayed clear signs of light anesthesia with a strong pedal withdrawal reflex. Despite the good anesthetic effect, a high dose of TBE (400 mg/kg) was not a suitable anesthetic for major surgery in all mouse strains because of the risk of pathologic changes in the abdominal organs, such as retention of the digestive tract, peritonitis, and fibrinoid adhesion. TBE200/X10 and TBE200/M0.5 (TBE, 200 mg/kg; X, 10 mg/kg; M, 0.5 mg/kg) appeared to be safe and provided satisfactory anesthesia in ICR mice. Finally, there were clear differences in anesthetic efficacy among ICR, C57BL/6, and BALB/c strains. TBE/M and TBE/X did not anesthetize BALB/c mice, and it anesthetized C57BL/6 mice for a short time. When administered with TBE/X and TBE/M maintained the sedation of ICR mice. We were able to establish different regimes for each strain (TBE200/X20 for C57BL/6, TBE300/X10 and TBE200/M1 for BALB/c). Our results showed that TBE/X and TBE/M could be recommended as an anesthetic mixture, with the dose appropriately adjusted according to mouse strain.

The minimal local anesthetic dose of bupivacaine for caesarean section in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia determined by up-and-down method / 重庆医科大学学报

Objective:To investigate the minimal local anesthetic dose(MLAD) of bupivacaine for caesarean section in combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSEA).Methods:Designed by up-and-down,34 parturients who met the standards were given bupivacaine as planned dose gradient.Hemodynamics were monitored continuously,untoward effects were observed and APGAR of the neonates were given.Results:The MLAD of bupivacaine which is used in CSEA for caesarean section is 5.03 mg(4.1～5.1 mg),and that of ED90 and ED95 are 7.15 mg,7.89 mg respectively.Conclusion:The clinical easy to use dose of bupivacaine is 7.5 mg which is used in CSEA for most parturients.
