Effect of controlled low central venous pressure with milrinone on laparoscopic hepatectomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effect of controlled low central venous pressure with milrinone on laparoscopic hepatectomy in the patients.Methods:Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of Child-Pugh grade A or B, undergoing elective laparoscopic hepatectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: milrinone group (group M) and nitroglycerin group (group NG). After the start of surgery, milrinone 0.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 was continuously infused in group M, and nitroglycerin was continuously infused with the initial dose of 0.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 to maintain central venous pressure (CVP)≤5 mmHg in group NG.Mean arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded on admission to the operation room (T 0), at skin incision (T 1), at the beginning of liver resection (T 2), at completion of liver resection (T 3), at the end of operation (T 4), and CVP, cardiac index and stroke volume variation were recorded at T 1-4.Internal jugular vein blood samples were collected to determine the concentrations of hemogloblin, blood lactate at T 1 and T 4, and serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine concentrations at 1, 3 and 7 days after surgery.The score of blood oozing in hepatic surgical field, amount of norepinephrine used, blood loss, postoperative recovery and occurrence of complications within 7 days after operation were recorded. Results:Compared with group NG, cardiac index was significantly increased at T 2, 3, the CVP was decreased at T 2, the blood oozing score, blood loss, consumption of norepinephrine, and concentrations of blood lactate were decreased, and the postoperative drainage indwelling time was shortened in group M ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and creatinine concentrations and incidence of postoperative complications at 1, 3 and 7 days after operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Milrinone is better than nitroglycerin in decreasing central venous pressure, reducing blood loss, maintaining stable circulatory function and tissue perfusion in laparoscopic hepatectomy.

Research progress on the antihypertensive effect of sodium-glucose synergistic transporter 2 inhibitors / 中华全科医师杂志

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease, in which the abnormality of glucose and lipid metabolism may cause multisystem damage. Sodium-glucose synergistic transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a novel type of hypoglycemic drug that can lower blood sugar level by inhibiting the absorption of glucose through renal tubules. Studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibitors also have a lowering effect on blood pressure, but the mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this article the hypotensive effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and possible mechanisms are reviewed.

Efficacy and safety of controlled low central venous pressure applied during hepatectomy: a meta-analysis / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) applied in patients undergoing hepatectomy.Methods:PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched from inception to October 1, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving CLCVP in hepatectomy.All RCTs enrolled included CLCVP group and conventional operation group.The major evaluation indicators were intraoperative blood loss, operation duration and intraoperative blood transfusion.The secondary evaluation indicators were intraoperative monitoring indicators, postoperative liver and renal function, and complications at 1 day after operation.Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 25 RCTs involving 1 816 patients were finally included.Compared with conventional operation group, the intraoperative blood loss was significantly reduced, the operation time was shorten, the rate of intraoperative blood transfusion was decreased, the amount of blood transfused was decreased ( P<0.01), and no significant change was found in intraoperative hemodynamic parameters and parameters of liver and renal function at 1 day after operation, and incidence of gas embolism, pleural effusion and bile leakage in CLCVP group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CLCVP is safe and effective during hepatectomy.

Effects of controlled low central venous pressure on cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing open hepatectomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the effects of controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) on the cerebral blood flow in the patients undergoing open hepatectomy.Methods:Thirty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of either sex, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, with Child-Pugh classification A and expected operation time of 2-4 h, undergoing elective open hepatectomy, were enrolled.After anesthesia induction, patients were placed at head-up tilt position, nitroglycerin 0.5-1.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 was infused, and furosamide 5-10 mg was intravenously injected when necessary to maintain CVP less than 5 cmH 2O during hepatectomy.After the end of hepatectomy, CLCVP was stopped, the infusion rate was increased to 10 ml·kg -1·h -1 with a crystalline gel ratio of 1∶2 to restore CVP to more than 5 cmH 2O.At 5 min after anesthesia induction (T 0), 5 min after head-up tilt (T 1), 5 and 15 min after CVP reaching the target (T 2, 3) and 5 min after the end of CLCVP (T 4), the blood flow of internal carotid artery was detected by ultrasound, and peak systolic velocity(IBVs), end diastolic velocity (IBVd)and vessel diameter of the internal carotid artery (ID)were measured by doppler ultrasound.Mean velocity [IBVm=(IBVs+ IBVd×2)÷3] and internal carotid artery blood flow [IBF=IBVm×π×(ID/2) 2×HR] were calculated.Heart rate (HR), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (P ETCO 2) and maximum airway pressure (P max) were recorded at each time point. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, MAP, CO, SV, IBVm and IBF were significantly decreased at T 2, 3 ( P<0.001), and no significant change was found in HR, P ETCO 2 and P max at T 1-4 ( P>0.05). The results of linear mixed-effects model analysis showed that the regression coefficients for CO, MAP, HR, and SV were 0.600 3, 0.022 88, 0.363 7, and 0.614 8, respectively ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:CLCVP can decrease the cerebral blood flow in the patients, which is closely associated with decreased CO, MAP, HR and SV when used for open hepatectomy.

The target value and lower target value of antihypertensive therapy for elderly patients with hypertension / 中华老年医学杂志

The main objectives of antihypertensive therapy for elderly patients with hypertension are to reduce the disability rate and mortality caused by hypertension and to improve the life expectancy of elderly patients.It is of great clinical significance to establish the target value and lower target value of antihypertensive treatment for elderly patients with hypertension, but there is still no consensus on the definition of the target value and the lower value.In this article, the literature about the target value and lower target value of antihypertensive therapy for elderly patients with hypertension is reviewed.

Damage control resuscitation in children

Damage control resuscitation is a relatively new resuscitative strategy for patients with severe traumatic hemorrhage. This strategy consists of permissive hypotension and early balanced transfusion, and transfers the patients to subsequent surgery. There is growing evidence on harms of excessive fluids. Since 2013, survival benefit of massive transfusion protocol has been proven in adults. Despite insufficient evidence, pediatric massive transfusion protocols are widely used in North American trauma centers. This review focuses on the concept of damage control resuscitation, and summarizes the relevant pediatric evidence.

Comparison of baroreflex sensitivity during sevoflurane-versus isoflurane-induced controlled hypotension in pediatric patients / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To compare the baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) when controlled hypotension was performed with sevoflurane versus isoflurane in the pediatric patients.Methods Sixty male American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 3-16 yr,with body mass index of 20-28 kg/m2,scheduled for elective scoliosis surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:sevoflurane-induced hypotension group (group Sev) and isoflurane-induced hypotension group (group Iso).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,sufentanil and propofol.Endotracheal intubation was facilitated with rocuronium.Anesthesia was maintained with closed-circuit low flow anesthesia with either sevoflurane or isoflurane,maintaining mean arterial pressure at 55-65 mmHg and bispectral index values at 40-60 during surgery.Cardiovascular BRS was measured before induction of anesthesia (T0),immediately after intubation (T1),immediately after the end-tidal inhalational anesthetic concentration reached 1 minimal alveolar concentration (T2),and at 10,20 and 30 min after target hypotension (mean arterial pressure 55-65 mmHg) was achieved (T3-5).Results There was no significant difference in BRS at T0-2 between the two groups (P＞0.05).Compared with the value at To,the BRS was significantly decreased at the other time points in the two groups (P＜0.05).Compared with the value at T1,the BRS was significantly increased at T2,and decreased at T3-5 in the two groups (P＜0.05).The BRS was significantly lower at T3-5 than at T2 in the two groups (P＜0.05).The BRS was significantly lower at T3-5 in group Sev than in group Iso in the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane produces better efficacy than isoflurane when used for controlled hypotension in the pediatric patients.

Effect of hyperacute intensive antihypertensive treatment on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia region / 中国脑血管病杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperacute intensive antihypertensive treatment on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia region. Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,100 patients with intracerebral hematoma in basal ganglia region (onset ≤3 h)at the Neurological Intensive Care Unit,the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were enrolled prospectively. They all randomly received the intensive antihypertensive or standard antihypertensive treatment voluntarily. They were divided into either an intensive antihypertensive group or a standard antihypertensive group according to the random number table (n = 50 in each group). Within 1 h after beginning to treatment,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 130 -140 mmHg in the intensive antihypertensive group,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 160 -180 mmHg in the standard antihypertensive group,and the target systolic blood pressure was maintained respectively in the following 7 d. Head CT was performed gain at 24 h after treatment. The intracranial hematoma expansion was evaluated. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)and the modified Rankin scale (mRS)were used to evaluate their prognoses. The differences of the cumulative mortality in both groups were compared at the same time. Results The incidences of hematoma expansion of the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 12. 0% (6/ 50)and 30. 0% (15/ 50)respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 4. 882,P = 0. 027). There were no significant differences in NIHSS scores within or between both groups at each time points (all P > 0. 05). They were followed up for 90 d,no adverse events occurred in both groups. The favorable prognosis rates of the neurological function were 36. 0% (18 / 50)and 18. 0% (9 / 50)respectively in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0. 411,P =0. 043). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative mortality at 24 h,within 7 d and 90 d in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 4. 0% (2 / 50),6. 0%(3 / 50),and 10. 0% (5 / 50),respectively,those of the standard antihypertensive group were 10. 0%(5 / 50),24. 0%(12 / 50),and 30. 0%(15 / 50),respectively. The results of Log-rank test found that there was significant difference in cumulative mortality between the 2 groups (χ2 =6.280,P =0.012). Conclusions The intensive antihypertensive treatment in the hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage is safe and feasible in basal ganglia region. It contributes to improve prognosis of neurological function,and reduce the incidence of hematoma expansion and the 90 d cumulative mortality.

Effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation assisting sodium nitroprusside controlled hypotension on Glu,ATⅡ and SOD / 重庆医学

Objective To observe the effects of transdermal acupoint electric stimulation(TEAS)assisting sodium nitroprus-side induced controlled hypotension on serum glucose (Glu),angiotensin Ⅱ (ATⅡ)and superoxide dismutase (SOD),and to inves-tigate the protective effect of TEAS under controlled hypotension anesthesia.Methods 60 cases undergoing elective endoscopy si-nus surgery by adopting sodium nitroprusside induced controlled hypotension under general anaesthesia maintained the mean arterial pressure(MAP)in 50-60 mm Hg and were randomly and equally divided into two groups.The group Ⅰ conducted TEAS,while the group Ⅱ did not conduct TEAS.The controlled hypotension time and surgery time were recorded in the two groups;Glu and ATⅡ values were detected before anesthesia (T0 ),30 min after hypotension (T1 ),hypotension stopping(T2 );SOD was detected at T0 ,T2 ,30 min after hypotension(T3 ).Results The operation time and controlled hypotension continuous time had no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).The Glu value in the group Ⅰ had no statistically significant difference a-mong the 3 time points,while which at T1 ,T2 was higher than that at T0 in the group Ⅱ(P 0.05),which at T1 ,T2 in the group Ⅱwas higher than that in the group Ⅰ (P <0.05);the SOD value at T2 was lower than that at T0 in the group Ⅰ,which at T2 ,T3 in the group Ⅱwas lower than that in the group Ⅰ(P <0.05).Conclusion TEAS assisting sodium nitroprusside controlled hypotension can better in-hibit the stress response.

Effect of controlled hypotension at the beginning of reperfusion on ischemia-reperfusion injury of liver in patients undergoing hepatectomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effect of controlled hypotension at the beginning of reperfusion on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury of the liver in patients undergoing hepatectomy.Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (aged 30-60 years and weighing 40-70 kg) undergoing elective partial hepatectomy for liver cancer were randomly divided into two groups (n =20 each):normal blood pressure group (control group,group C) and controlled hypotension group (group H).In group C,normal blood pressure was maintained during reperfusion,while in group H,controlled hypotension (the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) was maintained at 60-70 mm Hg) was performed for 10 minutes since the beginning of reperfusion.Hepatic portal was occluded during operation.Venous blood samples were taken before hepatic ischemia (T0,baseline) and after 15 minutes of ischemia (T1) and after 25 minutes of reperfusion (T2) for determination of plasma levels of endothelin (ET),nitric oxide (NO),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 (IL-1).Results I/R of the liver led to significant increases in plasma levels of ET,TNF-α and IL-1 and a decrease in plasma level of NO at T1,2 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups.Plasma levels of ET,TNF-α and IL-1 were significantly lower while plasma level of NO was significantly higher at T2 in group H than in group C.Conclusion Controlled hypotension for 10 minutes in the initial stage of reperfusion can attenuate I/R-induced injury to the liver in patients undergoing hepatectomy through balancing ET with NO and inhibiting inflammation responses.

Effects of controlled heart rate on nasal mucosa blood flow during nitroglycerin-induced controlled hypotension in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of controlled heart rate (HR) on the nasal mucosa blood flow (NMBF) during nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced controlled hypotension in the patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Seventy-two ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,weighing 49-85 kg,with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 and Lund-Mackay score between 7 and 15,scheduled for elective endoscopic sinus surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =36 each) using a random number table:NTG group (group N) and NTG-induced controlled hypotension combined with esmolol group (group E).Controlled hypotension was induced with continuous iv infusion of NTG at 1-3 μg· kg-1 · min-1 before surgery,and MAP was maintained at 70％ of baseline value until the end of surgery.In group E,when MAP was decreased to 70％ of baseline value,esmolol was infused intravenously at 20-100 μg· kg-1 · min-1,the consumption was adjusted according to the HR,and the HR was maintained at 60-70 beats/min until termination of controlled hypotension.Before induction of anesthesia (T0),after topical anesthesia (T1),at 15,30 and 45 min of controlled hypotention (T2-4),and at packing hemostasis at the end of surgery (T5),HR,stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) were recorded.NMBF was monitored at T1-T4.Blood samples were drawn from the radial artery and jugular blub at T1-T5 for blood gas analysis.Arteriovenous blood O2 difference (Da-jvO2) and cerebral O2 extraction rate (CERO2) were calculated.The quality of the surgical field in terms of blood loss was rated by the same attending surgeon.Results Compared with group N,HR,SV and CO at T2-T5,NMBF at T2-T4 and the volume of blood loss in the surgical field was significantly decreased in group E (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in Da-jvO2 and CERO2 between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Controlled HR (60-70 beats/min) can reduce the NMBF during nitroglycerin-induced controlled hypotension in the patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery without causing tissue hypoperfusion.

Neuroprotective Effect of Sevoflurane on Controlled Hypotension in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease Undergoing Craniocerebral Surgery / 医药导报

Objective To study the neuroprotective effect of sevoflurane on controlled hypotension in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing craniocerebral surgery. Methods Twenty-six patients with coronary heart disease undergoing craniocerebral surgery were randomly divided into two groups,receiving either inhaled 2%-5%sevoflurane plus intravenous sodium nitroprusside (treatment group,n=13) or intravenous sodium nitroprusside 3-8 μg·kg-1 alone (contorl group,n=13) for blood pressure control. The hemodynamic changes were recorded during the operation. Patient satisfaction with surgeons and the duration hospital stay after surgery were recorded. The levels of cardiac troponin I (TNI),creatine kinase-MB (CK-MBM),neuron specific enolase ( NSE) and S100 calcium binding proteinβ( S-100βprotein) in serum were detected at one day pre-operation,the end of the operation,and one day post-operation. Results The duration of hospital stay after surgery was significantly shortened in treatment group [(20. 3±3. 8) versus (23. 9±4. 6) d,P<0. 05) compared with control group. The average heart rate significantly decreased, patient satisfaction significantly increased, and serum levels of NSE and S-100β protein one day post-operation significantly decreased as compared to control group (all P<0. 05). Compared with the day before operation,serum levels of NSE and S-100βprotein in the two groups increased significantly at the end of surgery (P<0. 05),and the levels of TNI,CK-MBM,NSE and S-100βsignificantly elevated one day post-operation (P<0. 05). Compared with the end of operation,serum levels of NSE and S-100βin contorl group incarcerated remarkably (P<0. 05) Conclusion Sevoflurane plays an important neuroprotective role,as evidenced by improving patients' satisfaction,reducing hospital stay after surgery,and maintaining the balance of myocardial oxygen delivery and consumption in craniocerebral surgery patients with coronary heart disease during controlled hypotension. However,it can not prevent postoperative myocardial injury in these patients.

Efeitos do óxido nitroso em hipotensão controlada durante anestesia com baixo fluxo / The effects of nitrous oxide on controlled hypotension during low flow anesthesia / Efectos del óxido nitroso en la hipotensión controlada durante la anestesia con bajo flujo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Investigamos o efeito do óxido nitroso (N2O) em hipotensão controlada durante anestesia com baixo fluxo (isoflurano-dexmedetomidina) em termos de hemodinâmica, consumo de anestésico e custos. MÉTODOS: Quarenta pacientes foram randomicamente alocados em dois grupos. Infusão de dexmedetomidina (0,1 µg.kg-1.min-1) foi mantida por 10 minutos. Subsequentemente, essa infusão foi mantida até os últimos 30 minutos de operação a uma dose de 0,7 µg.kg-1.hora-1. Tiopental (4-6 mg.kg-1) e brometo de vecurônio (0,08 0,12 mg.kg-1) foram administrados na indução de ambos os grupos. Isoflurano (2%) foi administrado para manutenção da anestesia. O Grupo N recebeu uma mistura de 50% de O2-N2O e o Grupo A recebeu uma mistura de 50% de O2-ar como gás de transporte. Anestesia com baixo fluxo (1 L.min-1) foi iniciada após um período de 10 minutos de alto fluxo inicial (4,4 L.min-1). Os valores de pressão arterial, frequência cardíaca, saturação periférica de O2, isoflurano inspiratório e expiratório, O2 inspiratório e expiratório, N2O inspiratório e expiratório, CO2 inspiratório, concentração de CO2 após expiração e concentração alveolar mínima foram registrados. Além disso, as taxas de consumo total de fentanil, dexmedetomidina e isoflurano, bem como de hemorragia, foram determinadas. RESULTADOS: A frequência cardíaca diminuiu em ambos os grupos após a carga de dexmedetomidina. Após a intubação, os valores do Grupo A foram maiores nos minutos um, três, cinco, 10 e 15. Após a intubação, os valores de hipotensão desejados foram alcançados em 5 minutos no Grupo N e em 20 minutos no grupo A. Os valores da CAM foram mais altos no Grupo N nos minutos um, três, cinco, 10 e 15 (p < 0,05). Os valores da FiO2 foram mais altos entre 5 e 60 minutos no Grupo A, enquanto foram mais altos no Grupo N aos 90 minutos (p < 0,05). Os valores de Fi Iso (isoflurano inspiratório) foram menores no Grupo N nos minutos 15 e 30 (p < 0,05). CONCLUSÃO: O uso de dexmedetomidina em vez de óxido nitroso em anestesia com isoflurano pela técnica de baixo fluxo atingiu os níveis desejados de pressão arterial média (PAM), profundidade suficiente da anestesia, estabilidade hemodinâmica e parâmetros de inspiração seguros. A infusão de dexmedetomidina com oxigênio-ar medicinal como gás de transporte é uma técnica anestésica opcional.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effect of Nitrous Oxide (N2O) on controlled hypotension in low-flow isoflurane-dexmedetomidine anesthesia in terms of hemodynamics, anesthetic consumption, and costs. METHODS: We allocated forty patients randomly into two equal groups. We then maintained dexmedetomidine infusion (0.1 µg.kg-1.min-1) for 10 minutes. Next, we continued it until the last 30 minutes of the operation at a dose of 0.7 µg.kg-1.hour-1. We administered thiopental (4-6 mg. kg-1) and 0.08-0.12 mg.kg-1 vecuronium bromide at induction for both groups. We used isoflurane (2%) for anesthesia maintenance. Group N received a 50% O2-N2O mixture and Group A received 50% O2-air mixture as carrier gas. We started low-flow anesthesia (1 L.min-1) after a 10-minute period of initial high flow (4.4 L.min-1). We recorded values for blood pressure, heart rate, peripheral O2 saturation, inspiratory isoflurane, expiratory isoflurane, inspiratory O2, expiratory O2, inspiratory N2O, expiratory N2O, inspiratory CO2, CO2 concentration after expiration, Minimum Alveolar Concentration. In addition, we determined the total consumption rate of fentanyl, dexmedetomidine and isoflurane as well as bleeding. RESULTS: In each group the heart rate decreased after dexmedetomidine loading. After intubation, values were higher for Group A at one, three, five, 10, and 15 minutes. After intubation, the patients reached desired hypotension values at minute five for Group N and at minute 20 for group A. MAC values were higher for Group N at minute one, three, five, 10, and 15 (p < 0.05). FiO2 values were high between minute five and 60 for Group A, while at minute 90 Group N values were higher (p < 0.05). Fi Iso (inspiratuvar isofluran) values were lower in Group N at minute 15 and 30 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: By using dexmedetomidine instead of nitrous oxide in low flow isoflurane anesthesia, we attained desired MAP levels, sufficient anesthesia depth, hemodynamic stability and safe inspiration parameters. Dexmedetomidine infusion with medical air-oxygen as a carrier gas represents an alternative anesthetic technique.

Objective To observe the change of early postoperative cognition in the elderly under low central venous pressure (LCVP) after lobe resection to investigate the safety and feasibility of LCVP in Geriatrics.Methods A total of 45 ASA class Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ old patients (60 ～ 75 y)with elective liver resection were divided into L group and C group.In the LCVP group (L group),CVP was maintained below 5 cmH2O during liver resection until the lobe was done.The patients in the control group (C group) received standard care (The CVP was controlled between 6 cmH2O to 12 cmH2O).To compare the anesthesia recovery after surgery,all patients were tested with a battery of neuropsychologic assessment of cognitive function preoperatively and on the 7th day postoperatively.Results During liver resection,the MAP [(75.8 ±7.9)mmHg] and CVP [(3.1 ±0.4)cmH2O] of experimental group were lower than the control group [MAP (92.3 ± 10.6)mmHg,CVP(9.3 ± 1.4)cmH2O].The difference was statistically significant (t' =20.08,P ＜0.05,t =5.89,P ＜0.01) ;There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative recovery of spontaneous breathing,respiratory,eye opening time,extubation time and leave the operating room time between two groups[(18.1 ±6.7)min,(25.4±8.3)min,(31.9±11.7)min,(42.8±17.8)minvs (15.3 ± 7.0)min,(22.6 ±9.4)min,(30.2 ± 10.8) min,(45.4 ± 13.6) min,P ＞ 0.05].The incidence of POCD was 30.0％ in the experimental group and 27.3％ in the control group.The difference was no statistical significance between two groups(P ＞0.05).Conclusious There was no significant influence of low central venous pressure on anesthesia recovery time and early postoperative cognition in the elderly under hepatic resections.

Blood-saving effect of controlled low central venous pressure in different types of hepatectomy / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To investigate the blood-saving effect of controlled low central venous pressure (CLCVP) in different types of hepatectomy.Methods Ninety ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 37-76 yr,weighing 40-75 kg,undergoing elective hepatectomy,were divided into 6 groups according to the surgical approach and whether CLCVP was used during surgery (n =15 each):CLCVP1-3 groups and nonCLCVP1-3 groups (NCLCVP1-3 groups).The standard hepatectomy,half liver resection and irregular hepatectomy were performed in CLCVP1-3 groups,respectively,with CLCVP.The standard hepatectomy,half liver resection and irregular hepatectomy were performed in NCLCVP1-3 groups,respectively,without CLCVP.In CLCVP1-3 groups,from skin incision to the end of liver resection,CVP was maintained ≤ 5 cm H2 O through adjustment of the position,fluid restriction and iv infusion of nitroglycerin,and norepinephrine was infused simultaneously to maintain mean arterial pressure ≥ 60 mm Hg.In NCLCVP1-3 groups CVP was maintained at 6-12 cm H2O.Intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion were recorded.Results Compared with NCLCVP1-3 groups,intraoperative blood loss was significantly decreased in CLCVP1-3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with NCLCVP3 group,the amount of blood transfusion was significantly decreased,the constituent ratio of intraoperative blood loss ＜ 200 ml was increased,and the constituent ratio of intraoperative blood loss ＞ 1000 ml was decreased in group CLCVP3 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion CLCVP can decrease the intraoperative blood loss and blood transfusion in patients undergoing irregular hepatectomy.

Effects of different blood-saving strategies on postoperative cellular immune function in patients undergoing resection for liver cancers / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of different blood-saving strategies on postoperative cellular immune function in patients undergoing resection for liver cancers.Methods Sixty-six ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-64 yr,with hepatocellular carcinoma classification G1-G3 and clinicopathological staging Ⅰ-Ⅳ,undergoing elective resection for liver cancers,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =22 each) using a random number table:low central venous pressure group (L group),acutenormovolemic hemodilution group (A group),and acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with low central venous pressure group (AL group).Acute normovolemic hemodilution was performed after endotracheal intubation.Right jugular vein was cannulated for central venous pressure monitoring.Blood withdrawn from the radial artery at a rate of 25-40 ml/min was simultaneously replaced by iv infusion of the equal volume of 130/0.4 hydroxyethyl starch at the same rate until the target Hct (30％) was achieved.In A and AL groups,central venous pressure was maintained at 3-5 cm H2O during the procedure of liver parenchyma transection.Peripheral venous blood samples were taken before operation (T1,baseline) and on postoperative days 1,3 and 5 (T2-4) to determine the percentage of regulatory T-lymphocytes (CD4 + CD25 +,CD25 + Foxp3+),effective T-lymphocytes (CD8 +,CD4 + CD25-) and natural killer (NK) cells by flow cytometry.Results Compared with the baseline value at T1,the percentage of CD4 + CD25 +and CD25 + Foxp3+ was significantly decreased,and the percentage of CD8 + and CD4 + CD25-was increased at T3,4,and the percentage of NK cells was decreased at T2 in A and AL groups,and the percentage of CD4 + CD25 +and CD25 + Foxp3+ was decreased,and the percentage of CD8 + and CD4 + CD25-was increased at T4,and the percentage of NK cells was decreased at T2,3 in group L (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with L group,the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + and CD25 + Foxp3+ was significantly decreased at T3,the percentage of CD8 + was increased at T3,4,and the percentage of NK cells was increased at T3 in AL group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with low central venous pressure provides slighter inhibitory effect on the immune function of T-lymphocytes and NK cells in patients undergoing resection for liver cancers than either alone.

Effects of sevoflurane controlled hypotension in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery / 中国基层医药

Objective To observe the security and efficacy of sevoflurane inhalation in combination with remifentanil controlled hypotension in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Forty pa tients undergoing elective functional endoscopic sinus surgery were randomly divided into propofol group (group P)and sevoflurane group(group S).In group P,patients received remifentanil 0.2μg · kg-1 · min-1 and propofol 4 ～6mg · kg-1 · min-1 intravenously,those in group S received remifentanil 0.2pg · kg-1 · min-1 and continuous inhalation of sevoflurane 2 ～ 3％,the end-tidal concentration was 1.1 ～ 1.7MAC.MAP was retained at 65 ～ 75 mmHg in the two groups.MAP and HR were recorded before controlled hypotension (T1),5min after controlled hypotension (T2),30min after controlled hypotension(T3),the termination of surgery(T4) and 5min after the termination of surgery(T5).Record the patient opening eyes time,wake extubation time,duration of surgery,blood loss.Also observed with or without respiratory depression,drowsiness,restlessness,nausea,vomiting and other adverse reactions.The same surgery fell surgical field quality rating according to Fromme operative field score table.Results Compared with T1,MAP(F =73.68) and HR(F =24.60) decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.05) at the other time points.There was no statistically significant difference in MAP(t =0.90) and HR(t =1.00) at the same time points between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Extubation time (t =0.44),duration of operation (t =1.23),operative field score (t =0:43) and blood loss (t =0.58) has no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Inhalation hypotension by sevoflurane is feasible and safe in the functional endoscopic sinus surgery.It shows good quality of surgical field and less adverse reactions.

Efficacy of differential antihypertensive treatment strategies at early stage in the elderly with acute cerebral hemorrhage / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To observe the the therapcutic efficacy of differential antihypertensive treatments on the elderly acute cerebral hemorrhage with different amounts of bleeding. Methods 86 elderly patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage combined by hypertension were randomly divided into two groups:active antihypertensive group and regular antihypertensive group (n=43 for each group),among which 62 cases aged (68.9±5.3) years were in hemorrhage of small amount (volume ＜30 ml),24 cases aged (70.8 ± 5.7) years in large amount hemorrhage (volume ≥30 ml).The patients in active antihypertcnsive group received intravenous antihypertensive drugs within 1 hour of treatment in the following 7 d to reach systolic pressure 140-160 mm Hg.In contrast,in the control group the patients' systolic pressure reached 180-200 mm Hg at early stage.The hematoma volume was measured by CT before treatment and at 3 d and 7 d after treatment.NIH stroke scale (NIHSS)was used before treatment and 7 d and 28 d after treatment Results In the patients with small amount of bleeding,NIHSS scores and the total efficacy rate at 28 d after treatment and hematoma size at 3 d after treatment were better in active antihypertensive group than in regular antihypertensive group [(4.8±2.7) scores,86.67％ aud (2.4±0.6) ml vs.(7.6±3.9) scores,53.13％ and (8.1±3.1) ml,all P＜0.01]. However,for the patients with large amount of bleeding,there were no statistical differences in the above indexes between the two differential strategies (all P＞0.05).Conclusions Active antihypertensive therapy may inhibit early hematoma volume,improve prognosis and enhance clinical efficacy for the patients with small bleeding,but no clinical significance for the patients with large amount of bleeding.
