Filter by:PropoStatus is a prospective observational study investigating the EEG changes seen in neurologically healthy patients during induction of general anesthesia with propofol.
In this trial the investigators want to examine if there is any difference in hemodynamic stability when giving equipotent prophylactic injections of ephedrine 0,1 mg/kg, phenylephrine 1 microg/kg, norepinephrine 0,1 microg/kg or sodium chloride (NaCl) 9 mg/ml during induction of general anesthesia with propofol and remifentanil.
Post-induction hypotension (PIH) is very common with high incidence about 9-60%. There are multiple factors that may cause PIH, like pre-operative fasting, bowel preparation, vasodilatation due to anesthetics, and reduced stimulation during preparation before incision. Hypotension could cause tissue hypoperfusion, ischemia and higher risk for stroke or myocardial infarction, which result in higher risk for prolonged hospital stay or death. In general surgical patients, lower pre-induction SAP, older age (>50 years old), and emergency surgery are independently associated with PIH. In this study, we would like to use a wireless continuous non-invasive sonography device to evaluate if the change of cardiac output during the perioperative period could predict PIH. Ｗe would like to enroll 80 patients of ASA class I to III who undergo abdominal surgery. GIS-Heartio® will be used to estimate the cardiac parameters one day before the surgery (Day 0) and after the patient enter the operation room till wound incision. Passive leg raise test would be performed on day 0 and before induction. We will analyze the patient's demographic data and the cardiac parameters to see if continuous cardiac output monitor can predict the occurrence of PIH.
Comparison of total infused dose of remifentanil between pain threshold index monitoring group and control group
Video laryngoscopy provides easily a good laryngeal view compared to direct laryngoscopy. It is particularly, useful in patients with anticipated difficult intubation, and also widely used for educational purposes. Among video laryngoscopy, Mcgrath is a recently-developed, portable video laryngoscopy with a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor and disposable curved blade. Mcgrath is known to provide excellent laryngeal visibility even in case of anticipated-difficult and anticipated-unsuccessful intubation as well as normal airway management. However, compared with direct laryngoscopy, the success rate of intubation and the time required for anticipated difficult intubation have been reported conflicting results in previous studies. The aim of this study was to compare the intubation success rate, the intubation time and the ease of use with Mcgrath video laryngoscopy and direct laryngoscopy during intubation.
