RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different tidal volumes and positive end expiratory pressures (PEEPs) during mechanical ventilation on the cardiac output of pigs measured by pulmonary artery catheter, transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis, and to explore their consistency in cardiac output determination. MethodsTwelve experimental pigs were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups, with 4 pigs in each. Cardiac output was measured by different methods, control group by pulmonary artery catheter, group A by transpulmonary thermodilution and group B by pulse contour analysis. Then we compared the effects of different tidal volumes and PEEPs on the cardiac output of pigs and to explore the consistency. The correlation coefficient between pulse contour analysis and pulmonary artery catheter was r=0.754, and they were positively correlated. The correlation coefficient between transpulmonary thermodilution and pulmonary artery catheter was r=0.771, and they were positively correlated. In determining cardiac output, pulse contour analysis was consistent with pulmonary artery catheter, with a relative error of 13.5% between them; transpulmonary thermodilution was consistent with pulmonary artery catheter, with a relative error of 12.9% between them. The cardiac output decreased significantly along with the increase of tidal volumes or PEEPs and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) ConclusionPulmonary artery catheter, transpulmonary thermodilution and pulse contour analysis are well consistent with each other in measuring the cardiac output of pigs. The pigs’cardiac output gradually decreased along with the increase of tidal volumes or PEEPs during mechanical ventilation.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe the correlation between analgesia nociception index (ANI) and hemodynamic changes during laparoscopic surgery after tracheal intubation andto assess the effectiveness of ANI.Methods A multicenter, prospective clinical study was conducted and 284 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery were enrolled. Patients were monitored after entering the operating room. Endotracheal intubation was completed by anesthesia induction with target controlled remifentanil and propofol, after arterial and central venous catheterization were improved. Anesthesia was maintainedby continued propofol and remifentanil target controlled infusion.The ANI value, systolic pressure, heart rate of 5 minutes after completion of the entry, completion of the first trocar and completion of all the trocars were recorded. The ANI values and the changes in the vital signs (systolicblood pressure and heart rate) were observed during the laparoscopic operation, and the effectiveness of the ANI index to assess the pain caused by the insertion of a laparoscope trocar was evaluated. Results (1) The area under the ANI curve was positively correlated with the one under thesystolic blood pressure and the heart rate curve during the period from cutting the skin to 5 mins after completing all the trocars (P < 0.05). (2) ANI was negatively correlated with SBP and HR when skin incision and the first trocar were completed (P < 0.001). Conclusions The changes in ANI were in accordance with the balance between analgesic and noxious stimuli, and negatively correlated with the changes insystolic blood pressure and heart rate. ANI could accurately evaluate the pain situation when the card was inserted.

RESUMEN
At present,the teaching resource for anesthetic residents training is more and more insufficient.The safe and standardized training course based on medical simulation teaching meets the training demand of comprehensive quality and professional skill for anesthetic residents training.Basic and advanced anesthetic training can raise the operational level while comprehensive anesthetic ability training can improve the ability of clinical thinking,organization,coordination and crisis management.The use of medical simulation teaching is insufficient in anesthetic residents training.It is highly recommended to guide anesthetic residents training by the government policy.
RESUMEN
Objectlve investigate the role of Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) during perioperative period in the development of postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).Methods Twenty patients (18 male and 2 female, aged 33-58 yr and weighing 52-73 kg) with ASA Ⅲ or Ⅳ (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ )undergoing OLT were studied. Blood samples were collected from the central vein for determination of TLR2 expression on PMN and plasma TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8 concentrations before induction of anesthesia (T1, baseline), at 25 min of anhepatic phase (T2), 3 h (T3) and 24 h after beginning of reperfusion of the allograft (T4). The expression of TLR2 was measured by flow cytometry and the serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). The patients were divided into SIRS and non-SIRS group depending on whether the patients developed SIRS or not within 7 days after operation. The diagnosis of SIRS was based on the criteria laid down by ACCP and SCCM in 1992.Results Ten patients developed SIRS within 7 days after operation. There was no significant difference in Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) scores between the two groups. Compared with non-SIRS group, the TLR2 expression on PMN and the serum IL-1β concentration were significantly increased at T4 and the serum IL-8 concentration was significantly increased at T3 in SIRS group.There was positive correlation between serum TNF-α concentration and TLR2 expression on PMN in SIRS group ( r= 0.607, P <0.05).Conclusion The expression of TLR2 on PMN increases significantly at 24 h after beginning of reperfusion of allograft and may play an important role in the development of postoperative SIRS.
RESUMEN
Objective To determine the risk factors for development of early acute renal failure (ARF) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in patients with normal renal function.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 28-64 yr weighing 35-88 kg undergoing OLT were studied.Their preoperative serum Cr and BUN were within normal range.Early ARF was defined as serum Cr≥132 μmol/L and/or BUN≥18 mmol/L within 24 h after operation.The patients were divided into 2 groups: ARF group and non-ARF group.Arterial blood samples and urine specimens were collected before induction of anesthesia for determination of blood β2-micreglobulin(β2-MG) and urinary β2-MG and N-acetyl-β-D-glucurenidnse (NAG). Factors including preoperative liver function,preoperative blood and urinary β2-MG,the amount of urine output and bank blood infused during operation,MAP during anhepatic and neohepatic phase,the amount of vnsoactive drugs and diuretics used during operation,hypotension and arrbythmia during operation were recorded.The risk factors were identified by logistic regression analysis.Results Logistic analysis indicated that serum β2-MG higher than normal value before operation and persistent hypotensien during operation were closely correlated with development of early ARF after OLT.Conclusion Serum β2-MG higher than the normal value before operation.and persistent hypotension during operation are the risk factors for early ARF after OLT.
RESUMEN
AIM: To investigate the effects of non-ventilated lung with N_2O on systemic oxygenation and lactic acid level in arterial blood during one lung anesthesia. METHODS: Twenty-two patients, ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ, scheduled for selective pulmonary surgery, were randomly divided into two groups: control group (group A, n=11) and observation group (group B, n=11). Group A: the non-ventilated lung was kept open to the air; group B: N_2O 2 cmH_2O through CPAP system was insufflated into the non-ventilated lung during one lung ventilation. The anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam (0.05 mg?kg~(-1)), propofol (0.5-1.0 mg?kg~(-1)), fentanyl (4 ?g?kg~(-1)), and vecuronium (0.1 mg?kg~(-1)) and was maintained with inhaling isoflurane. Blood gas analysis and lactic acid was recorded 20 min after two-lung ventilation (TLV) in the supine position, 20 min after one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the supine position, 20 min and 40 min after OLV in the lateral position and at the end of operation and the shunt fraction was calculated. RESULTS: PaO_2 in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P
RESUMEN
AIM: To study the changes of serum levels of nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in patients during liver transplantation. METHODS: Samples were obtained from 30 patients in end liver disease at five time points during liver transplantation. NO level and NOS activity were measured by radioimmunoassay and colorimetry, respectively. Arterial and mixed venous blood samples used for blood gas analysis were taken at the same time. Intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) was calculated according to the standard formula. The hemodynamics parameters including continuous cardic output (CO), HR, MABP, CVP, SVR were measured during liver transplantation. RESULTS: (1) NO_2-/NO_3-level at 10 min before anhepatic period was significantly higher than the baseline level. Compared with NO_2-/NO_3-level at 10 min before anhepatic period, NO_2-/NO_3-level at 30 min after anhepatic period was significantly decreased. NO_2-/NO_3-level at 30 min after neohepatic period was significantly higher than the baseline level and at 30 min after anhepatic period. (2) No significant change of tNOS activity was observed. Compared with the baseline activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), the activity at 10 min before anhepatic period and at 30 min after neohepatic period was significantly increased. The activity at 30 min after neohepatic period was significantly higher than that at 30 min after anhepatic period. (3) MABP decreased significantly when opening the inferior vena cava. CO and CVP decreased in the anhepatic stage and increased in the reperfusion stage. SVR increased during anhepatic stage and decreased significantly during neohepatic period. (4) Qs/Qt decreased significantly during anhepatic stage and increased significantly at 30 min after neohepatic period. CONCLUSIONS: Serum level of NO and NOS activity are significantly changed during liver transplantation. High level of NO may result in low systemic vascular resistance and increasing in intrapulmonary shunt.

RESUMEN
Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effective concentration of epidural ropivacaine for analgesia in 50% of parturients (EC50) in the first stage of labor. Methods Thirty-three ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ nulliparous women with 2-3 cm cervical dilatation who requested epidural analgesia were enrolled in the study. Epidural catheter was placed at L3-4 and advanced for 3-4 cm in the epidural space in a cephalad direction. 20 ml of ropivacaine solution of which the EC50 was being tested was given through the catheter into epidural space. The EC50 was determined by up-and-down sequential experiment. The initial concentration of the epidural ropivacaine being tested was decided to be 0.15% . If effective the next parturient received ropivacaine of a lower concentration; if ineffective the concentration of ropivacaine was increased in the next parturient. Each time the concentration of epidural ropivacaine increased/decreased by 0.01% . Analgesia was assessed by VAS score (1-10) . If VAS score was less than 3 within 30 min of ropivacaine administration, analgesia was defined as effective.Results Among the 33 parturients enrolled, three were excluded from the study because of uncertain analgesic efficacy. The results showed that the EC50 of epidural ropivacaine for analgesia in the first stage of labor was 0.063% [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.05972%-0.06688%] .Conclusion The EC50 epidural ropivacaine for analgesia in the first stage of labor is 0.063 % determined by sequential experiment method.
