RESUMEN

Background: Ciprofol is a new intravenous sedative / anesthetic drug. In recent years, many clinical studies have also confirmed the sedative effect of ciprofol. However, more clinical research is still needed on its clinical application characteristics in special populations. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical effects of ciprofol and propofol in general anesthesia induction of elderly patients. Methods: 60 elderly (aged ≥ 75 years) patients underwent hip fracture surgery were randomly into two groups of a 1:1 ratio. Group C (ciprofol group): 0.3mg/kg ciprofol was infused. Group P (propofol group): 1.5mg/kg propofol was infused. The observation period was from the infusion of test drug to 5 min after endotracheal intubation. The primary outcomes included the incidence of severe hypotension and hypotension during the observation period. The secondary outcomes were as follows: the success rate of general anesthesia induction, the number of additional sedation, the time of loss of consciousness (LOC), Δ MAP, Δ HR, adverse events and the frequency of vasoactive drugs used. Results: Finally, 60 subjects completed the study. Compared with Group P, the incidence of severe hypotension in Group C was lower (26.7% vs 53.3%, P = 0.035), the incidence of hypotension was also lower (36.7% vs 63.3%, P = 0.037), Δ MAP in Group C was significantly lower (31.4 ± 11.4 vs 39.6 ± 15.7, P = 0.025), the frequency of ephedrine used and the incidence of injection pain in Group C were also significantly lower. Conclusion: Ciprofol showed similar efficacy to propofol when used for general anesthesia induction in elderly patients underwent hip fracture surgery and could maintain more stable blood pressure.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: To compare the efficacy and safety of ciprofol, propofol, propofol and etomidate mixture or ciprofol and etomidate mixture in patients undergoing painless gastroscopic anesthesia, and to explore the optimal plan to relieve the patient's discomfort. METHODS: A total of 120 patients scheduled for painless gastroscopy were randomly assigned to 4 groups: propofol (Group P), ciprofol (Group C), propofol-etomidate mixture (Group P-E), and ciprofol-etomidate mixture (Group C-E). The success rate of gastroscopy examination, patient satisfaction, incidence of injection pain, hemodynamic parameters, induction time, procedure time, the consumption of drugs, awakening time, and incidence of adverse events were evaluated. RESULTS: All patients in the study successfully completed the gastroscopy. The satisfaction of patients in Group C-E was significantly higher than that in Group P (P < .05), but there was no statistical significance in the patient satisfaction among the other groups. Compared with Group P, the incidence of injection pain in Groups C and C-E significantly decreased (P < .05). There were no significant differences in the SBP, diastolic blood pressure, HR, and SpO2 among the 4 groups (P > .05). The awakening time of Group C was significantly longer than that of Groups P and P-E (P < .05), but there was no statistically significant difference in the awakening time of other groups. CONCLUSION: Ciprofol demonstrated efficacy in inducing sedation or anesthesia during painless gastroscopy that was similar to propofol, while exhibiting a comparable safety profile. Moreover, the combination of propofol and etomidate, as well as the combination of ciprofol and etomidate, were both shown to be equally safe and effective for this clinical application. These findings suggest that ciprofol can be considered as a safe and effective alternative for painless gastroscopy, and the ciprofol-etomidate mixture may be a better choice.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The primary objective of anesthesiologists during the induction of anaesthesia is to mitigate the operative stress response resulting from endotracheal intubation. In this prospective, randomized controlled trial, our aim was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of employing Index of Consciousness (IoC, IoC1 and IoC2) monitoring in predicting and mitigating circulatory stress induced by endotracheal intubation for laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients under general anesthesia (GA). METHODS: We enrolled one hundred and twenty patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under GA and randomly allocated them to two groups: IoC monitoring guidance (Group T, n = 60) and bispectral index (BIS) monitoring guidance (Group C, n = 60). The primary endpoints included the heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patients, as well as the rate of change (ROC) at specific time points during the endotracheal intubation period. Secondary outcomes encompassed the systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), cardiac output index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), ROC at specific time points, the incidence of adverse events (AEs), and the induction dosage of remifentanil and propofol during the endotracheal intubation period in both groups. RESULTS: The mean (SD) HR at 1 min after intubation under IoC monitoring guidance was significantly lower than that under BIS monitoring guidance (76 (16) beats/min vs. 82 (16) beats/min, P = 0.049, respectively). Similarly, the mean (SD) MAP at 1 min after intubation under IoC monitoring guidance was lower than that under BIS monitoring guidance (90 (20) mmHg vs. 98 (19) mmHg, P = 0.031, respectively). At each time point from 1 to 5 min after intubation, the number of cases with HR ROC of less than 10% in Group T was significantly higher than in Group C (P < 0.05). Furthermore, between 1 and 3 min and at 5 min post-intubation, the number of cases with HR ROC between 20 to 30% or 40% in Group T was significantly lower than that in Group C (P < 0.05). At 1 min post-intubation, the number of cases with MAP ROC of less than 10% in Group T was significantly higher than that in Group C (P < 0.05), and the number of cases with MAP ROC between 10 to 20% in Group T was significantly lower than that in Group C (P < 0.01). Patients in Group T exhibited superior hemodynamic stability during the peri-endotracheal intubation period compared to those in Group C. There were no significant differences in the frequencies of AEs between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: This promising monitoring technique has the potential to predict the circulatory stress response, thereby reducing the incidence of adverse reactions during the peri-endotracheal intubation period. This technology holds promise for optimizing anesthesia management. TRAIL REGISTRATION:  Chinese Clinical Trail Registry Identifier: ChiCTR2300070237 (20/04/2022).

RESUMEN

THE AIM OF THE PRESENT STUDY: The aim of the present study was to do a comparison of the recovery profiles and airway-related adverse events of pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sedation patients who received propofol alone to those who received midazolam alone. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study was approved by the Mutah University Ethical Approval Committee (No. 2378). A search of the patients' medical records was performed between September 2021 and April 2022 to identify children aged 4 months-11 years who received propofol or midazolam for MRI sedation. The patients were subdivided into two groups: Those who had propofol alone (propofol group) and those who received midazolam (midazolam group) for pediatric MRI sedation. In propofol group, a 1-2 mg/kg of propofol bolus was given to have a deep sedation (Ramsay Sedation Scale score of 5). Patients in midazolam group received 0.05 mg/kg of midazolam. During the maintenance state of sedation, the patient received 150 µg/kg/min of propofol, and the infusion rate was adjusted in 25 µg/kg/min increments up or down at the discretion of the anesthesiologists to maintain a state of deep sedation. The major targets of this study were recovery profiles (time to awake and time to discharge) and airway-related intervention ratios in pediatric MRI sedation patients. Patient demographics, MRI sedation, and recovery data, including propofol induction dose, airway intervention, and sedation-related adverse events from the pediatric sedation recovery unit were also collected. RESULTS: The mean (standard deviation [SD]) propofol induction dose was higher compared to midazolam group (2.4 [0.7] mg vs. 1.3 [0.5] mg; mean difference, 1.1 mg; P < 0.001). The mean (SD) infusion rate was higher in propofol group compared to midazolam group (161.3 [37.6] µg/min/kg vs. 116.2 [25.6] µg/min/kg; mean difference 45.1 µg/min/kg; P < 0.001). The mean (SD) propofol total dose was higher in propofol group compared to midazolam group (236.3 [102.4] mg vs. 180.7 [80.9] mg; mean difference, 155.4 mg; P < 0.001). The mean (SD) time to awake was longer in midazolam group compared to propofol group (21.2 [5.6] min vs. 23.0 [7.1] min; mean difference, 1.8 min; P < 0.001). The mean (SD) time to discharge was longer in midazolam group compared to propofol group (34.5 [6.9] min vs. 38.6 [9.4] min; mean difference, 4.1 min; 95% confidence interval, 3.0-5.1; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The administration of midazolam during pediatric MRI sedation can decrease the frequency of airway complications without prolonging the clinically significant recovery profile.

Résumé Objectif de l'étude:L'objectif de la présente étude était de comparer les profils de récupération et les événements indésirables liés aux voies respiratoires chez les patients pédiatriques sous sédation pour une imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) ayant reçu du propofol seul à ceux ayant reçu du midazolam seul.Méthodes:Cette étude de cohorte rétrospective a été approuvée par le Comité d'éthique de l'Université de Mutah (No. 2378). Une recherche dans les dossiers médicaux des patients a été réalisée entre septembre 2021 et avril 2022 pour identifier les enfants âgés de 4 mois à 11 ans ayant reçu du propofol ou du midazolam pour une sédation en IRM. Les patients ont été subdivisés en deux groupes : ceux ayant reçu uniquement du propofol (groupe propofol) et ceux ayant reçu du midazolam (groupe midazolam) pour la sédation pédiatrique en IRM. Dans le groupe propofol, un bolus de 1 à 2 mg/kg de propofol a été administré pour atteindre une sédation profonde (score de 5 sur l'échelle de sédation de Ramsay). Les patients du groupe midazolam ont reçu 0,05 mg/kg de midazolam. Pendant la phase de maintien de la sédation, les patients ont reçu 150 µg/kg/min de propofol, et la vitesse de perfusion a été ajustée par paliers de 25 µg/ kg/min, à la discrétion des anesthésistes, pour maintenir un état de sédation profonde. Les principaux objectifs de cette étude étaient les profils de récupération (temps de réveil et temps de sortie) et les taux d'interventions liées aux voies respiratoires chez les patients pédiatriques sous sédation pour IRM. Les données démographiques des patients, les détails de la sédation en IRM et les données de récupération, y compris la dose d'induction de propofol, les interventions liées aux voies respiratoires, et les événements indésirables liés à la sédation dans l'unité de récupération pédiatrique ont également été collectés.Résultats:La dose moyenne (écart-type [ET]) d'induction de propofol était plus élevée par rapport au groupe midazolam (2,4 [0,7] mg contre 1,3 [0,5] mg; différence moyenne, 1,1 mg; P<0,001). Le taux de perfusion moyen (ET) était plus élevé dans le groupe propofol par rapport au groupe midazolam (161,3 [37,6] µg/min/kg contre 116,2 [25,6] µg/min/kg; différence moyenne, 45,1 µg/min/kg; P<0,001). La dose totale moyenne (ET) de propofol était plus élevée dans le groupe propofol par rapport au groupe midazolam (236,3 [102,4] mg contre 180,7 [80,9] mg; différence moyenne, 155,4 mg; P<0,001). Le temps moyen (ET) pour se réveiller était plus long dans le groupe midazolam par rapport au groupe propofol (21,2 [5,6] min contre 23,0 [7,1] min; différence moyenne, 1,8 min; P<0,001). Le temps moyen (ET) de sortie était plus long dans le groupe midazolam par rapport au groupe propofol (34,5 [6,9] min contre 38,6 [9,4] min; différence moyenne, 4,1 min; intervalle de confiance à 95 %, 3,0­5,1; P<0,001).Conclusion:L'administration de midazolam lors de la sédation pédiatrique pour IRM peut diminuer la fréquence des complications des voies respiratoires sans prolonger de manière significative le profil de récupération clinique.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The effects of anesthetics on liver and kidney functions after infantile living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or desflurane-based inhalation anesthesia on postoperative liver and kidney functions in infant recipients after LRLT and to evaluate hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI). METHODS: Seventy-six infants with congenital biliary atresia scheduled for LRLT were randomly divided into two anesthesia maintenance groups: group D with continuous inhalation of desflurane and group P with an infusion of propofol. The primary focus was to assess alterations of liver transaminase and serum creatinine (Scr) levels within the first 7 days after surgery. And the peak aminotransferase level within 72 h post-surgery was used as a surrogate marker for HIRI. RESULTS: There were no differences in preoperative hepatic and renal functions between the two groups. Upon the intensive care unit (ICU) arrival, the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST, P = 0.001) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, P = 0.005) in group P were significantly lower than those in group D. These changes persisted until the fourth and sixth days after surgery. The peak AST and ALT levels within 72 h after surgery were also lower in group P than in group D (856 (552, 1221) vs. 1468 (732, 1969) U/L, P = 0.001 (95% CI: 161-777) and 517 (428, 704) vs. 730 (541, 1100) U/L, P = 0.006, (95% CI: 58-366), respectively). Patients in group P had lower levels of Scr upon the ICU arrival and on the first day after surgery, compared to group D (17.8 (15.2, 22.0) vs. 23.0 (20.8, 30.8) µmol/L, P < 0.001 (95% CI: 3.0-8.7) and 17.1 (14.9, 21.0) vs. 20.5 (16.5, 25.3) µmol/L, P = 0.02 (95% CI: 0.0-5.0) respectively). Moreover, the incidence of severe acute kidney injury was significantly lower in group P compared to that in group D (15.8% vs. 39.5%, P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS: Propofol-based TIVA might improve liver and kidney functions after LRLT in infants and reduce the incidence of serious complications, which may be related to the reduction of HIRI. However, further biomarkers will be necessary to prove these associations.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of dexmedetomidine versus ketofol for moderate sedation in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). STUDY DESIGN: Randomised controlled trial. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Anaesthesia, SICU and Pain Management, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, Paksitan, from December 2021 to June 2022. METHODOLOGY: Sixty-two patients aged 20-60 years of any gender scheduled for elective ERCP were included. Patients were randomly divided into Dexmedetomidine group (2ml ampule of 100ug/ml diluted in 18ml of normal saline) and Ketofol group (2ml ketamine and 10ml of propofol 1% diluted in 8ml of normal saline) for sedation. The mean difference in time to achieve Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) score of 4 and Modified Aldrete's Score (MAS) of 9 were noted as outcomes in each group. In addition, complications during the procedure and recovery were also noted. RESULTS: The mean age was 39.15 ± 9.82 years. There were 33 (53.2%) males and 29 (46.8%) females. The mean time to achieve RSS 4 was significantly lower in patients who were treated with Dexmedetomidine as compared to Ketofol, i.e., 11.84 ± 1.77 minutes vs. 13.10 ± 1.64 minutes respectively (p-value 0.005, 95% CI -2.12 to -0.39). Similarly, the mean time to achieve MAS score 9 was significantly lower in patients who were treated with Dexmedetomidine as compared to Ketofol, i.e., 11.19 ± 1.72 minutes vs. 12.23 ± 1.84 minutes, respectively (p-value 0.026, 95% CI -1.94 to -0.13). CONCLUSION: Dexmedetomidine proved to be more effective than Ketofol for sedation in ERCP, achieving faster sedation and quicker recovery. KEY WORDS: Dexmedetomidine, Ketofol, Sedation, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Most ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, leading to poor outcomes and a relatively low 5-year survival rate. While tumor resection in the early stages can be highly effective, recurrence following primary treatment remains a significant cause of mortality. Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic agent in cancer resection surgery. Previous research has shown that propofol anesthesia was associated with improved survival in patients undergoing elective surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer. However, the underlying antitumor mechanisms are not yet fully understood. METHODS: This study aimed to uncover the antitumor properties of propofol alone and combined with cisplatin or doxorubicin, in human SKOV3 and OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cells. We applied flowcytometry analysis for mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptosis, and autophagy, colony formation, migration, and western blotting analysis. RESULTS: Given that chemotherapy is a primary clinical approach for managing advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer, it is essential to address the limitations of current chemotherapy, particularly in the use of cisplatin and doxorubicin, which are often constrained by their side effects and the development of resistance. First of all, propofol acted synergistically with cisplatin and doxorubicin in SKOV3 cells. Moreover, our data further showed that propofol suppressed colony formation, disrupted mitochondrial membrane potential, and induced apoptosis and autophagy in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. Finally, the effects of combined propofol with cisplatin or doxorubicin on mitochondrial membrane potential, apoptosis, autophagy, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition were different in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells, depending on the p53 status. CONCLUSION: In summary, repurposing propofol could provide novel insights into the existing chemotherapy strategies for ovarian cancer. It holds promise for overcoming resistance to cisplatin or doxorubicin and may potentially reduce the required chemotherapy dosages and associated side effects, thus improving treatment outcomes.

RESUMEN

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) reduces ischemia-reperfusion injury in aortocoronary bypass surgery, potentially via extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their micro-RNA content. Clinical data implicate that propofol might inhibit the cardioprotective RIPC effect. This prospective, randomized study investigated the influence of different anesthetic regimes on RIPC efficacy and EV micro-RNA signatures. We also assessed the impact of propofol on cell protection after hypoxic conditioning and EV-mediated RIPC in vitro. H9c2 rat cardiomyoblasts were subjected to hypoxia, with or without propofol, and subsequent simulated ischemia-reperfusion injury. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Blood samples of 64 patients receiving anesthetic maintenance with propofol or isoflurane, along with RIPC or sham procedures, were analyzed, and EVs were enriched using a polymer-based method. Propofol administration corresponded with increased Troponin T levels (4669 ± 435.6 pg/mL), suggesting an inhibition of the cardioprotective RIPC effect. RIPC leads to a notable rise in miR-21 concentrations in the group receiving propofol anesthesia (fold change 7.22 ± 6.6). In vitro experiments showed that apoptosis reduction was compromised with propofol and only occurred in an EV-enriched preconditioning medium, not in an EV-depleted medium. Our study could clinically and experimentally confirm propofol inhibition of RIPC protection. Increased miR-21 expression could provide evidence for a possible inhibitory mechanism.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Opioid-reduced multimodal analgesia has been used clinically for many years to decrease the perioperative complications associated with opioid drugs. We aimed to assess the clinical effects of opioid-reduced anesthesia during thoracoscopic sympathectomy. METHODS: Surgical patients (n = 151) with palmar hyperhidrosis were randomly divided into control (Group C, 73 patients) and test (Group T, 78 patients) groups. All patients were administered general anesthesia using a laryngeal mask. In Group C, patients received propofol, fentanyl, and cisatracurium for anesthesia induction, and maintenance was achieved with propofol and remifentanil, along with mechanical ventilation during the operation. In Group T, anesthesia was induced with propofol, dezocine, and dexmedetomidine (DEX) and maintained with propofol, DEX, and an intercostal nerve block, along with spontaneous breathing throughout the operation. Perioperative complications related to opioid use include hypotension, bradycardia, hypertension, tachycardia, hypoxemia, nausea, vomiting, urine retention, itching, and dizziness were observed. To assess the impact of these complications, we recorded and compared vital signs, blood gas indices, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, adverse events, and patient satisfaction between the two groups. RESULTS: Perioperative complications related to opioid use were similar between groups. There were no significant differences in the type of perioperative sedation, analgesia index, respiratory and circulatory indicators, blood gas analysis, postoperative VAS scores, adverse reactions, propofol dosage, postoperative recovery time, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: In minimally invasive surgeries such as thoracoscopic sympathectomy, opioid-reduced anesthesia was found to be safe and effective; however, this method did not demonstrate clinical advantages.

RESUMEN

Introduction: This study investigates the application of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in rigid bronchoscopy to enhance anesthetic delivery and patient outcomes, a topic that remains underexplored. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 155 patients undergoing elective rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia was conducted. Patients were divided into BIS-monitored and conventional anesthesia groups. Inclusion criteria were adults aged over 18 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-IV. Result: No significant demographic differences were found between the groups. The BIS group showed significant reductions in propofol usage (231.40 ± 74.63 mg vs. 190.19 ± 91.83 mg, p= 0.003) and prednol dosage (94.27 ± 42.56 mg vs. 79.71 ± 18.97 mg, p= 0.020). Remifentanil administration approached statistical significance (56.99 ± 34.69 mcg vs. 45.36 ± 36.75 mcg, p= 0.055). Conclusions: No significant demographic differences were found between the groups. The BIS group showed significant reductions in propofol usage (231.40 ± 74.63 mg vs. 190.19 ± 91.83 mg, p= 0.003) and prednol dosage (94.27 ± 42.56 mg vs. 79.71 ± 18.97 mg, p= 0.020). Remifentanil administration approached statistical significance (56.99 ± 34.69 mcg vs. 45.36 ± 36.75 mcg, p= 0.055).

RESUMEN

Research into the role of thalamocortical circuits in anesthesia-induced unconsciousness is difficult due to anatomical and functional complexity. Prior neuroimaging studies have examined either the thalamus as a whole or focused on specific subregions, overlooking the distinct neuronal subtypes like core and matrix cells. We conducted a study of heathy volunteers and functional magnetic resonance imaging during conscious baseline, deep sedation, and recovery. We advanced the functional gradient mapping technique to delineate the functional geometry of thalamocortical circuits, within a framework of the unimodal-transmodal functional axis of the cortex. Here we show a significant shift in this geometry during deep sedation, marked by a transmodal-deficient geometry. This alteration is closely linked to the spatial variations in the matrix cell composition within the thalamus. This research bridges cellular and systems-level understanding, highlighting the crucial role of thalamic core-matrix functional architecture in understanding the neural mechanisms of states of consciousness.

RESUMEN

Objective: Ciprofol is a novel anesthetic agent, its efficacy and safety had been verified and its clinical implementation has been expanded. However, the knowledge about ciprofol in children is meager. The aim of study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ciprofol in general anesthesia in children undergoing adenoidectomy and adenotonsillectomy, compared with propofol. Materials: We retrospectively analyzed data of children who underwent adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy with general anesthesia from June to August 2023 to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of ciprofol. The primary outcomes included hemodynamic changes during induction and postoperative complications in post-anesthesia care unit. The secondary outcomes were extubation time, pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) score. Meanwhile, subgroup analysis was performed based on age. Results: 301 children met the inclusion criteria, 157 received ciprofol induction and 144 received propofol. Patient demographics and operation-related information were similar in the two groups. However, the dosage of dexmedetomidine in the propofol group was significantly higher than that of the ciprofol group (p=0.001). The trends of hemodynamic shift during induction and intubation were the same in the two groups. The PAED scores on post-extubation 10min and 20min were significantly reduced in the ciprofol group (p<0.001 and p=0.046). Moreover, in the ≤72 months and the >72 months subgroups, the scores were also significantly lower in the ciprofol group on post-extubation 10min. With the score of >10, the incidence of emergence delirium of the ciprofol group was significantly lower on post-extubation 10min and 20min in the population and the ≤72 months subgroups (p=0.03 and p=0.02). There were no obvious postoperative complications in both groups. Conclusion: Ciprofol exhibited advantageous characteristics in the induction of children, such as stable hemodynamics, a relatively lower incidence of postoperative delirium without apparent post-anesthesia complications. Ciprofol may emerge as a novel option for general anesthesia in pediatric patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive procedure that has become an important tool in the diagnosis and staging of mediastinal lymph node lesions in lung cancer. Adequate sedation is an important part of the procedure as it provides patient comfort and potentially increases diagnostic yield. The sedation modality varies among centers and includes moderate sedation/conscious sedation, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. The object of this study will be the evaluation of patient's comfort and level of satisfaction with the involved health care providers (bronchoscopist and anesthesiologist) of remifentanil administration in target-controlled infusion (TCI) for conscious sedation in patients undergoing EBUS­TBNA, with a prospective randomized study design versus the of standard sedation protocol with midazolam and/or fentanest and/or propofol. METHODS: This study was carried out at the "Campus Biomedico di Roma" University Hospital between September 2021 and November 2021, with a total number of 30 patients enrolled who met the eligibility criteria, randomly divided into 2 groups: group 1 "REMIFENTANIL TCI" (experimental group) where the patients performed the EBUS-TBNA procedure under conscious sedation with infusion of remifentanil TCI with a target between 3 ng/mL and 6 ng/mL and group 2 "STANDARD" (control group) with patients undergoing conscious sedation with the association of midazolam and/or fentanest and/or propofol in refracted boluses based on clinical needs. Complications, safety, and level of satisfaction of the operator, the anesthesiologist, and the patient were evaluated. RESULTS: The results show that sedation with remifentanil in TCI can improve the comfort level of patients, reducing the risks associated with the procedure (lower frequency of oversedations and hypotension), allowing for greater intraprocedural safety. Furthermore, the level of satisfaction of the anesthesiologist and that of the operator appears to be significantly higher in the Remifentanil group. CONCLUSION: The execution of a mild to moderate sedation with Remifentanil in TCI in patients undergoing EBUS is safe, tolerated, and allows to obtain greater intraprocedural comfort. Further studies and larger and more representative samples are obviously needed to confirm and strengthen the validity of a remifentanil TCI-based sedation in endoscopic diagnostics.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol in valve replacement surgery. The clinical data of 88 patients with rheumatic heart disease undergoing valve replacement surgery were retrospectively analyzed and grouped based on different treatment methods. Among them, 44 cases received fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of fentanyl and propofol from November 2019 to July 2021 were set as the control group, and 44 cases received fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol from August 2021 to February 2022 were set as the study group. The study group showed shorter postoperative awakening time, extubation time, and hospital stay duration, and lower dosage of dopamine and nitroglycerin consumption compared to the control group (P < .05). At T5 and T6, both groups exhibited higher ACTH, cortisol (Cor), and C3a than at T0, and the study group showed significantly lower ACTH, Cor, and C3a at T5 and T6 than the control group (P < .05). At T7, the control group showed higher ACTH, Cor, and C3a than at T0, and ACTH, Cor, and C3a were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group at T7 (P < .05). Fast-track cardiac anesthesia using target-controlled infusion of sufentanil and propofol in valve replacement surgery has demonstrated favorable application effects, which stabilizes hemodynamics, alleviates myocardial damage, suppresses endocrine stress responses, and does not increase adverse reactions, thereby exhibiting good safety.

RESUMEN

Introduction: To evaluate the recovery quality between remimazolam and propofol after general anesthesia surgery. Methods: We included eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Central, Scopus, and Web of Science up to June 26, 2024 for comparison the recovery quality of remimazolam and propofol after general anaesthesia. The primary outcomes were the total Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) and five dimensions of QoR-15 on postoperative day 1 (POD1). Secondary outcomes were adverse events, the Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) on POD1, and the intraoperative and postoperative time characteristics. Results: Thirteen RCTs with a total of 1,305 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Our statistical analysis showed that remimazolam group had higher QoR-15 score on POD1, with no significant difference (Mean Difference (MD) = 1.24; 95% confidence interval (CI), [-1.67-4.15]; I2 = 75%; P = 0.41). In the five dimensions of QoR-15, remimazolam group was superior to propofol group in terms of physical independence (MD = 0.79; 95% CI [0.31-1.27]; I2 = 0%; P = 0.001). Remimazolam group was lower than propofol group in incidence of hypotension (Risk Ratio (RR) = 0.48; 95% CI [0.40-0.59]; I2 = 14%; P < 0.00001), bradycardia (RR = 0.18; 95% CI [0.08-0.38]; I2 = 0%; P < 0.0001) and injection pain (RR = 0.03; 95% CI [0.01-0.12]; I2 = 48%; P < 0.00001), respectively. The intraoperative and postoperative time characteristics and the QoR-40 were similar in the two groups. Conclusions: Our analysis showed that the recovery quality of the remimazolam group after general anaesthesia was similar to propofol group, while the incidence of adverse events was low in remimazolam group. As a potential anesthetic, remimazolam can be used in place of propofol for surgical general anesthesia.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acute intraoperative hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis, which can occur during monitored anaesthesia care (MAC), pose significant cardiopulmonary risks for patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The goal of the present study is to assess the incidence, risk factors and impact of intraoperative hypercapnia during MAC for patients undergoing transfemoral TAVR. METHODS: Data was collected retrospectively from the electronic medical record of 201 consecutive patients with available intraoperative arterial blood gas (ABG) data who underwent percutaneous transfemoral TAVR with MAC using propofol and dexmedetomidine. ABGs (pH, arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial partial pressure of oxygen) were performed at the start of each case (baseline), immediately prior to valve deployment (ValveDepl), and on arrival to the postanaesthesia care unit. Data was analysed using Fisher's exact test, unpaired Student's t-test, Wilcoxon rank sum or univariate linear regression as appropriate based on PaCO2 and pH during ValveDepl (PaCO2-ValveDepl, pH-ValveDepl) and change in PaCO2 and pH from baseline to ValveDepl (PaCO2-%increase, pH-%decrease) to determine their association with preoperative demographic data, intraoperative anaesthetic and vasoactive medications and postoperative outcomes. RESULTS: PaCO2 increased by a mean of 28.4% and was higher than baseline in 91% of patients. Younger age, male sex, increased weight and increased propofol dose contributed to higher PaCO2-ValveDepl and greater PaCO2-%increase. Patients with PaCO2-ValveDepl>60 mm Hg, pH≤7.2 and greater pH-%decrease were more likely to receive vasoactive medications, but perioperative PaCO2 and pH were not associated with adverse postoperative outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Transient significant hypercapnia commonly occurs during transfemoral TAVR with deep sedation using propofol and dexmedetomidine. Although the incidence of postoperative outcomes does not appear to be affected by hypercapnia, the need for vasopressors and inotropes is increased. If deep sedation is required for TAVR, hypercapnia and the need for haemodynamic and ventilatory support should be anticipated.

RESUMEN

Objective: This study investigates the effect of low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion on perioperative neurocognitive function in elderly patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Patients and Methods: This double-blind trial enrolled 80 elderly ERCP patients randomized to receive dexmedetomidine (Group D) or placebo (Group S). Group D received dexmedetomidine at 0.4 µg·kg-1·h-1 starting 15 minutes before surgery until completion, along with propofol at 1.5 mg/kg for anesthesia. Group S received saline and propofol in a similar manner. Anesthesia was maintained with dexmedetomidine at 0.4 µg·kg-1·h-1 and propofol at 1-2 mg/kg during surgery. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 5. Primary outcome was perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) incidence on day 5; secondary outcomes included changes in perioperative IL-6, cortisol, S100-ß, hemodynamics, anesthesia parameters, postoperative pain, agitation scores, and adverse events. Results: All 80 patients completed the trial. On postoperative day 5, the cumulative probability of PND incidence was significantly lower in Group D than in Group S (12.5% vs 35%, P=0.018). Group D also had lower levels of IL-6 (F=199.472, P<0.001), S100-ß (F=2681.964, P<0.001), and cortisol (F=137.637, P<0.001). Propofol doses were lower in Group D (706.1 ± 202.4 vs 1003.3 ± 203.7, P<0.001), and bradycardia rates were higher (45% vs 15%, P=0.003), though atropine use did not significantly differ between groups. Group D showed greater stability in mean arterial pressure. Postoperative complications and adverse reactions were similar across groups. Conclusion: Perioperative low-dose dexmedetomidine infusion with propofol in elderly ERCP patients ensures safe and effective monitored anesthesia care (MAC), reducing PND incidence by mitigating peripheral inflammation and stress responses. Long-term follow-up is needed to fully evaluate PND incidence.

RESUMEN

Objective: To estimate the impacts of different anesthetic protocols on the speed and quality of postoperative resuscitation in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy. Methods: This was a prospectively designed randomized control study that included 150 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy in Hainan Cancer Hospital affiliated to Hainan Medical College between April and December of 2023. All the patients, classified as American Society of Aneshesiologists (ASA) Grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were randomly divided into three groups with different anesthetic protocols, including propofol group (group P), remimazolam group (group R) and remimazolam with flumazenil group (group RF). There were eventually 50 patients in each group. The three groups of patients were compared for their resuscitation time and the time that they stayed in the resuscitation room (addressed as"room time"below). At 10 min and 20 min after resuscitation, each patient was tested for recognition ability (orientation score), walking ability and fine motor skill (including reaction speed, quick-click ability and visual memory), respectively, with possible adverse reactions recorded spontaneously, such as hypotension, dizziness, nausea and vomitus. Results: There were 29 males and 21 females in group P with an average age of (34±6) years, 27 males and 23 females in group R with an average age of (36±8) years, and 26 males and 24 females in group RF with an average age of (33±7) years, respectively. All examinations for each patient were successfully completed with no interruptions. The resuscitation time and room time of group RF were (47±15) s and (26±5) min,respectively, which were both shorter than those in either group R [(489±92) s and (35±6) min] or group P [(196±61) s and (31±7) min] (all P<0.05). The orientation score of patients in group RF at 10 min after resuscitation was (79.0±10.5), which was significantly higher than that in group R (70.0±11.7) (P<0.05). The patients' walking ability score of group RF at 10 min and 20 min after resuscitation were [(23.6±10.8), (48.0±4.5)], which were better than those in group R[(15.4±11.1), (47.6±4.8)] (both P<0.05). The patients' reaction speed and quick-click scores of group RF were [(851.0±150.9), (547.0±114.0) ms] and [(758.0±73.2), (629.0±128.9) ms], which were better than those in either group R [(1 151.0±206.0), (732.0±135.1) ms], [(893.0±110.9), (765.8±125.8) ms] or group P [(985.0±225.3), (613.0±123.2) ms], [(831.0±87.7), (691.0±115.8) ms] (all P<0.05). The incidence rate of hypotension in group P was 18% (9/50), higher than that in either Group R [4% (2/50)] or group RF [2% (1/50)] (all P<0.05). The incidence rates of dizziness, nausea and vomitus were comparable among all the three groups with no statistical differences (all P>0.05). Conclusion: In patients undergoing anesthesia with remazolam, the use of flumazenil can not only shorten the resuscitation time and the time that the patients need to stay in the resuscitation room, but also speed up the recovery of the patients' recognition, walking and fine motor skill abilities.
