Conscious Sedation by Propofol TCi for Corrective Surgery of a Mandibular Fracture / 대한마취과학회지

BACKGORUND: infusion of propofol by a target-controlled infusion (TCi) system is effective in achieving conscious sedation for anxious patients presenting for dental surgery. However, there is no report of conscious sedation for mandibular fracture patients using propofol TCi. The objective of this study was to evaluate the appropriation of a conscious sedation using propofol for mandibular fracture patients. METHODS: Twenty patients with a mandibular fracture undergoing an open reduction and miniplate insertion operation were analyzed. We anesthetized patients using a propofol infusion by a TCi system (Diprifusor :Master TCi:Pilot Anesthesia is, France) with local anesthesia using lidocaine. The BiS score was evaluated continually during surgery using a microcomputer (A-2000 BiS monitor , Aspect Medical System, USA). We set the infusion machine at a target concentration 2mug/ml, and adjusted the propofol concentration for a BiS score range of 80-85. infusion rate, total dosage, duration of induction, recall of operative procedure and cooperation scores were checked. BiS, heart rate, noninvasive arterial blood pressure, and SpO2 were recorded during the operation. RESULTS: The mean BiS score was 82.95, the mean target concentration of propofol was 2.645mug/ml, the mean infusion rate was 136.3mug/kg/min, and the mean cooperation score was 2.5, the patients were cooperative. The score of amnesia was 0.2, almost patients did not recall the intraoperative event. The mean duration of stay in the recovery room was 22.2 minutes, and the most frequent side effect was pain on injecion of propofol. CONCLUSiONS: Conscious sedation with propofol TCi is an effective anesthesia method substitute for general anesthesia with quick emergence, few side effects, and safety for mandibular fracture patients.

Effects of Intravenous Anesthesia using Propofol TCI (Target Controlled Infusion) System in Plastic Surgery under Local Anesthesia

Nowadays in the field of plastic surgery, operations with no general anesthesia have been much increased, using daily surgery center. We used "Propofol TCI system" to control exact target concentration of conscious sedation and to reduce any systemic complication of the other local anesthetics. Twenty of ASA Class I or II patients were scheduled for elective surgery using Diprifusor(R) TCI system at 0.8-1.9 ug/ml target concentration. We estimated the proper target concentration, time of awakening, postoperative patient satisfaction and presence of postoperative amnesia. All the patients was satisfied except one patients who underwent nasal tip plasty. The target concentration of the conscious sedation varies with age and the type of operation but average concentration was 1.4-1.6 ug/ml. The average time of awakening, which we estimated by the time of eye opening was 2.6 minutes. Postoperative systemic complication and unusual vital sign were not present. We present here our satisfactory results using propofol infused by TCI(Target controlled infusion) system. This system is called 'Diprifusor(R)' and has a benefit of excellent sedative effect, low complication rate, safety, and rapid awakening time which enables the patient to return to his normal life cycle.

Accuracy of Infusion of Midazolam with Plasma Concentration as Target in Clinical Anesthesia / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To study the accuracy of infusion of Midazoloam with plasma concentration as target. METHODS:The parameters of Midazoloam obtained from our researches were inputted into target-controlled infusion(TCI) system with C language. The clinical anesthesia of 12 patients undergoing selective operations was completed with plasma concentration as target-controlled infusion. Predicted value of plasma concentration of Midazoloam was compared with measured value. Parameters of Midazoloam sample were calculated such as performance error(PE),absolute performance error(absPE),median performance error(MDPE),median absolute performance error(MDAPE),constancy error(CE),absolute constancy error(absCE),median constancy error(MDCE) and median absolute constancy error(MDACE). RESULTS:PE,absPE,MDPE and MDAPE of plasma concentration were -2.57%,14.16%,-3.28% and 15.34%,respectively. CE,absCE,MDCE and MDACE were 0.06%,1.42%,0.03% and 1.21%,respectively. The measured values were in indirect relationship with predicated values(r=0.986,P
