RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine infused at nighttime on early postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing radical resection of malignant gastrointestinal tumors.Methods:Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of either sex, aged 65-75 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective radical resection of malignant gastrointestinal tumors, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C) and different doses of dexmedetomidine groups (D 1-3 groups). Dexmedetomidine 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 μg·kg -1·h -1 (infusion rate 4 ml/h) were intravenously infused from 21: 00 on the day of surgery and the first day after surgery until 6: 00 in the next morning.Normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C. The period of sleep and the number of awakening at night were recorded before surgery and at 2 and 7 days after surgery.Cognitive function was assessed at 1 day before surgery and 7 days after surgery.The concentrations of plasma cortisol were measured at 16: 00 before surgery and 2 and 7 days after surgery and at 8: 00 in the corresponding morning of the next day.The difference in the plasma cortisol concentration measured at 8: 00 every day and at 16: 00 of the previous day were calculated. Results:The incidence of POCD was significantly lower in D 2, 3 groups than in group C ( P<0.05). The number of awakening at night was significantly decreased at 2 days after surgery in group D 3 as compared with the other three groups ( P<0.05). The difference in the plasma cortisol concentration was significantly decreased at 2 and 7 days after surgery in D 2, 3 groups when compared with group C and group D 1 ( P<0.05). Compared with group D 2, no significant change was found in the difference in the plasma cortisol concentration at each time point in group D 3 ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, and tachycardia among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Infusing dexmedetomidine 0.2 or 0.3 μg·kg -1·h -1 at the nighttime can reduce the development of POCD in the elderly patients undergoing radical resection of malignant gastrointestinal tumors.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the effects of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) on sedation in healthy volunteers.Methods:Forty-six healthy volunteers of both sexes, with the Sleep Self-Rating Scale score 10-30, aged 22-28 yr, with the body mass index 18.5-23.0 kg/m 2, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=23 each) using a random number table method: TEAS group (E group) and control group (C group). Bilateral Neiguan and Shenmen acupoints were stimulated for 30 min in group E, while the stimulator was only connected, and no current was given in group C. The bispectral index (BIS)value, heart rate, oxygen saturation and mean arterial pressure were recorded at 10 min in the supine position (T 0) during the quiet period, at 10 min intervals during stimulation (T 1, 2) and at 5 min intervals within 15 min after the end of electrical stimulation (T 3-5). Then the condition whether the patient had fallen asleep was observed, and the patients were followed up on the second day for sleep status and related complications. Results:Compared with the baseline at T 0, the BIS value was significantly decreased at T 2-5 in group E ( P<0.05). The BIS value was significantly lower at T 3, 4 in group E than in group C ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in sleep status during stimulation and at the night of the trial between the two groups ( P>0.05). Heart rate, oxygen saturation and mean arterial pressure were in the normal range at each time point, and no trial-related complications occurred in the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:TEAS can produce certain sedative effect on healthy volunteers.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effect of facemask ventilation with different pressures on perioperative complications in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods Seven-ty-five American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-60 yr, with body mass index of 18-24 kg∕m2 , scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: 10 cmH2 O group ( group P10) , 15 cmH2 O group ( group P15) and 20 cmH2 O group ( group P20) . The pres-sure for facemask ventilation was 10, 15 and 20 cmH2 O during induction of anesthesia in group P10, group P15 and group P20, respectively. Before facemask ventilation ( T0 ) and at 180 s of facemask ventilation ( T1 ) , longitudinal and anteroposterior diameters of the antral area in the supine position were measured u-sing ultrasonography, the antral cross-sectional area was calculated, and the development of serious flatu-lence was recorded. The development of hypoxemia, tidal volume and end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide in each group were recorded at T1 . The operation time and occurrence of postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting were recorded. Results Compared with group P10, the incidence of serious flatulence and postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting was significantly increased, and the incidence of hypox-emia was decreased in group P15 and group P20, and tidal volume was increased at T1 in group P20 ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group P15, the incidence of serious flatulence was significantly increased ( P<0. 05) , and no significant change was found in the incidence of hypoxemia and postoperative flatulence and nausea and vomiting in group P20 ( P>0. 05) . There was no significant difference in the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide at T1 or antral cross-sectional area at T0 and T1 among the three groups ( P>0. 05) . Con-clusion Pressure of 10-15 cmH2 O for facemask ventilation is optimal during induction of general anesthe-sia and can ensure adequate oxygen supply and reduce perioperative complications in the patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the changes of antrum and fundus cross‐sectional area ( CSA ) measured by bedside ultrasonography on gastric insufflation during anesthesia induction in non‐obese female patients and analyze the relationships between these changes as well as postoperative nausea and vomiting ( PONV ) . Methods Fourty‐six patients scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic operations were enrolled in the study . T he patients w ho appeared the comet‐tail artifacts were defined as gastric insufflation positive group( GI+ group) ,w hile the ones without comet‐tail artifacts were defined as gastric insufflation negative group( GI‐ group) . Blood oxygen saturation ( SPO 2 ) ,end‐expiratory partial pressure of CO 2 ( PET CO2 ) ,tidal volume( T V ) were recorded after 180 seconds ventilation in both groups . T he longitudinal and anteroposterior diameters of gastric antrum and fundus were measured before and after facemask ventilation respectively and the corresponding CSA were calculated . T he cutoff values of prediction of gastric insufflation were determined according to the ROC curve and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were calculated . PONV of the two groups were also recorded . Results T he analysis was based on the remaining 41 data sets actually . T here were 13 patients in GI‐group and 28 ones in GI+ group . Compared with GI‐group ,the changes of T V and fundus CSA in GI+ group had significantly differences( P ＜0 .05) ; w hile compared with before mask ventilation ,the changes of antrum and fundus CSA in both groups had significantly differences ( P ＜0 .05).T he areas of antrum and fundus CSA under the ROC curve (95% CI) were 0 .67 and 0 .80 ,with cut‐off value 3 .19 cm2 and 24 .90 cm2 ,sensitivity 0 .93 and 0 .93 and specificity 0 .39 and 0 .69 ,respectively .T he incidence of PONV in GI+ group was higher than that in GI‐group( P ＜0 .05). Conclusions Changes of fundus CSA by ultrasonography might be superior to antrum CSA in gastric insufflation caused by 20 cm H2 O peak airway pressure of facemask ventilation during anesthesia induction . Gastric insufflation caused by positive pressure ventilation is related with PONV for young female patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic operation .
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV,1 ml/kg) of the operated lungs in preventing hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in elderly patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal cancer.Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthsiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 65-75 yr,with body mass index of 18.5-24.0 kg/m2,were divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table method:convention group and IPPV group.In convention group,ventilator settings were adjusted with the tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg,respiratory rate of 15 breaths/min,inspiratory/expiratory ratio of 1 ∶ 2,and fraction of inspired oxygen 70％ during OLV.In IPPV group,ventilator settings were adjusted with the tidal volume of 1 ml/kg,respiratory rate of 15 breaths/min,and fraction of inspired oxygen 70％ on the operated side during OLV,and the ventilator settings on the other side were consistent with those previously described in convention group.Before anesthesia induction (T0),at 10 min of two-lung ventilation (T1),at 15,30 and 45 min of OLV (T2,4) and at 10 min after the end of OLV (T5),blood samples were collected from the radial artery for blood gas analysis.The partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) and alveolar to arterial partial pressure of oxygen were recorded.Respiratory index (RI) and oxygenation index (OI) were calculated.The occurrence of PaO2 ＜ 60 mmHg,RI＞ 1.0 and OI＜ 200 mmHg was recorded during OLV.Results Compared with convention group,the RI was significantly decreased at T4,the PaO2 and OI were increased,and the incidence of PaO2＜60 mmHg,RI＞ 1.0 and OI ＜ 200 mmHg was decreased in IPPV group (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion IPPV (1 ml/kg) of the operated lungs can prevent the occurrence of hypoxemia during OLV in elderly patients undergoing radical resection of esophageal cancer.

RESUMO
Aim To investigate the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4(6%HES 130/0.4)and Ringer's solution resuscitation on early lung injury in hemorrhagic shock rats and its mechanisms.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were divided into 4 groups:sham,Ringer's solution(RS),two HES groups(H1,H2).Group H1,H2 received HES 33,50 ml·kg~(-1) and Ringer's solutions respectively after 90-minute shock(the dose of Ringer's solutions was 3 times as muchas the maximum shed blood volume minus the dose of HES).Blood samples were taken from artery for blood analysis and the expression of CD11b/CD18 at T_0,T_1,T_4,T_5.The lungs were removed for ultrastructure examination.Results PaO_2 increased in group H1 at T_(1～5) and group H2 at T_5 as compared with T_0.PaCO_2 decreased in all the resusitation groups.The ultrastructure was basically normal except that the mitochondria changed slightly in group H1.In group H2,the perinuclear space was dilated slightly and the rough endoplasmic reticulum expanded slightly,and the degranulation was observed.Compared with group RS,the expressions of CD11b and CD18 decreased at T_4,T_5;compared with group H1,the expressions of CD11b and CD18 in group H2 increased.Conclusions Treatment with 6%HES(130/0.4)33 ml·kg~(-1)and Ringer's solution can attenuate hemorrhagic shock,and the resuscitation reduces lung injury through inhibition of expressions of CD11b and CD18.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects of volume therapy with different doses of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (6% HES 130/0.4) on lung injury in a rat model of hemonhagic shock.Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 220-300 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 6 each) : group I sham operation (group S); group II Ringer's solution (group RS); group HI and IV 2 HES groups (group H1, H2 ). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 1% sodium pentobarbital 45 ing/kg. Right common carotid artery (CCA) and left femoral vein were cannulated for blood letting, MAP monitoring, fluid administration and blood sampling. Hemonhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood from right CCA in group II , III and IV . MAP was reduced to 35-45 mmHg which was maintained for 90 min. In group RS, hemorrhagic shock was resuscitated with Ringer's solution 3 times of the volume of blood withdrawn, while group H1 and H2 received HES 33 and 50 ml/kg respectively and Ringer' s solution (the total volume was equal to 3 times of the volume of blood removed) . Arterial blood samples were taken before blood letting (T0 , baseline), and at 2, 3 h after volume therapy (T1,2) for blood gas analysis and PaO2/FiO2 was calculated. The animals were then sacrificed by exsanguination and the lungs were immediately removed for microscopic examination and determination of protein concentration in broncho-alveolar lavage fuid (BALF), W/D lung weight ratio and TNF-α, IL-1 β and IL-10 contents in the lung.Results TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-10 content in the lung, protein concentration in BALF and W/D ratio were significantly higher in group RS, H1 and H2, while PaO2/FiO2 was significantly lower at T,2 in group RS and at T2 in group H2 than in group S (P < 0.05). TNF-α and IL-1β contents in the lung, protein concentration in BALF and W/D ratio were significantly lower in group H1 and H2 , while PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher at T,i2 in group H1 and at T1 in group H2 than in group RS (P <0.05) . PaO2/FiO2 at T2 and IL-10 content in the lung were significantly lower in group H2 than in group H, ( P < 0.05) . The lung damage was significantly ameliorated in group H1 and H2 especially in group H, as compared with group RS. Conclusion Volume therapy with 6% HES 130/0.4 33 or 50 ml/kg can attenuate lung injury in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock and the efficacy of 33 ml/kg is better.
