Filter by:126 patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were selected. In the intervention group, anesthesia was induced with remimazolam besylate at a rate of 6mg/min; Anesthesia was maintained with 1.0-2.0mg/min remimazolam besylate by continuous pump. Control group: anesthesia induction, intravenous injection of propofol 2mg/kg; Anesthesia was maintained by continuous pumping of 6-8mg/kg/h propofol. All patients were routinely monitored for vital signs and anesthesia depth after entering the operating room. The patients were followed up after surgery, and the quality of recovery score at 24 hours after surgery was the main study outcome.
In one-lung ventilation surgery, compared with dexmedetomidine combined with propofol, dexmedetomidine combined with desflurane may be beneficial to accelerate patients' recovery and reduce postoperative pulmonary complications and does not increase the incidences of delirium and postoperative nausea and vomiting.
General anesthesia is a combination of hypnotic drugs to achieve unconsciousness and opioid analgesics to ensure antinociception. An alternative approach to the intraoperative administration of high potency opioids in order to achieve antinociception during surgery is combining a general anesthesia with a regional anesthesia. Modern general anesthesia aims to treat nociception induced by surgical stimulation while avoiding an overdose of opioid analgesics and reducing side-effects of opioid administration. Quality and safety of general anesthesia are of major clinical importance and can be improved by adjusting the opioid analgesics to the optimal individual dose needed. In the current clinical practice, the opioid dosage is usually chosen by clinical judgment. Recently different monitoring devices estimating the effect of nociception during unconsciousness have become commercially available. One of the first commercially available nociception indices was the Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) derived by the CARESCAPE™B650 patient monitor (GE Healthcare). Until today, it remains unknown whether guiding sufentanil administration by SPI monitoring affects the administered amount of intraoperative and postoperative opioid, immediate postoperative pain in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and the quality of postoperative recovery in patients with a combination of general and regional anesthesia. This study aims to investigate whether guiding sufentanil administration by SPI monitoring - compared to routine care - reduces intraoperative sufentanil consumption in patients having trauma and orthopaedic surgery with a combination of general and regional anesthesia.

Quality and safety of general anesthesia are of major clinical importance and can be improved by adjusting the opioid analgesics to the optimal individual dose needed. In the current clinical practice, the opioid dosage is usually chosen by clinical judgment, though recently different monitoring devices estimating the effect of nociception during unconsciousness have become commercially available. Nevertheless, the impact of nociception-monitor-guided opioid administration on the administered amount of opioid, postoperative short-term recovery, and long-term outcome is inconclusive. This study aims to investigate the predictive power of different nociception monitoring systems for the prediction of moderate to severe immediate postoperative pain from nociception indices measured before awakening from general anesthesia.
Postoperative quality of recovery (QoR) could be related to anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. This study is exploring early QoR after radical prostatectomy in the two groups of anesthesia. The first group had a light general anesthesia with lumbal epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and ropivacaine. The second group had general anesthesia and a continuous postoperative analgesia with tramadol. The postoperative QoR was evaluated 24 hours after surgery.
Neuromuscular monitoring during general anesthesia is important to make sure adequate muscle relaxation during operation and adequate recovery of muscle power and spontaneous breathing during emergence from general anesthesia. The neuromuscular monitoring is usually using electrical stimulants and the method called train-of-four (TOF) is representative. Because it uses electrical stimulants, the patients could be uncomfortable and feel pain during the monitoring when the patients are conscious. Lowering the current of the stimulants would be helpful in reducing the pain, but there is a concern that the TOF results performed in lower current would be underestimated or inaccurate. Therefore, the investigators want to find the minimal current for TOF monitoring that shows adequate TOF results.
Different modality of anesthesia and analgesia could influence a postoperative quality of recovery (QoR). This study is exploring early QoR after unilateral nephrectomy in the two groups of anesthesia. The first group had a light general anesthesia with thoracic epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and ropivacaine. The second group had general anesthesia and a continuous postoperative analgesia with tramadol. The postoperative QoR was evaluated 24 hours after surgery.
Recovery after surgery and anaesthesia has traditionally been assessed with objective measures including time to awakening, time to regaining airway reflexes, duration of stay in the recovery room and/or hospital, and incidence of adverse events like pain and post-operative nausea and vomiting. Increasingly, the patient's experience of their post-operative recovery is being recognised as an important outcome after surgery. The 15-Item Quality of Recovery score (QoR-15) has been validated to give a patient-centred global measure of overall health status after surgery and anaesthesia. This score has recently been translated and validated in isiZulu. Desflurane is the newest anaesthetic vapour to market, with many benefits from the anaesthetist's perspective: faster time to awakening, faster time to regaining airway reflexes, and a clearer sensorium post-operatively. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating whether this translates to better quality of recovery for the patient. Desflurane is more expensive than other volatiles; for economic use, it is recommended to use Desflurane with a low flow (up to 2L) anaesthetic technique. Isoflurane is the most commonly used volatile anaesthetic agent at Dr. George Mukhari Academic Hospital. Concerns about the increased cost of desflurane compared to isoflurane limits the use of this novel agent in the public sector in South Africa. Following an extensive literature review, no studies could be found comparing quality of recovery between desflurane and isoflurane using a validated quality of recovery tool like the QoR-15. The research question in this study is whether there is a clinically significant difference in post-operative quality of recovery (using the QoR-15 score) between desflurane and isoflurane inhalational anaesthesia in adult patients presenting for elective ophthalmological surgery under general anaesthesia. This study will therefore compare quality of recovery between desflurane and isoflurane inhalational anaesthesia. Furthermore, the study will evaluate the relative cost of using either volatile with a basal flow anaesthetic technique.
It is aimed to determine patient satisfaction (pain assessment during and after the operation) and the initial and total anesthesia durations of eye lid and globe anesthesia after administration of local anesthetic solution only in standard applied volumes (1.5-3 ml). No agents will be added to the local anesthetic agents used in the conventional retrobulbar block in patients who will undergo cataract surgery,
Surgical correction of scoliosis in children is a long procedure, with an equivalently long recovery time, that is commonly performed at BC Children's Hospital. Treating pain immediately after the procedure is a priority for children during recovery. Morphine is one medication that can be used to manage post-operative pain, but unfortunately, its use is accompanied by a number of side effects which can affect recovery. These include nausea, vomiting, pruritus, sedation, dysphoria, respiratory depression, constipation, ileus, and urinary retention. In order to control pain and reduce morphine consumption, intravenous lidocaine is being investigated. This therapy has been beneficial in adult populations undergoing abdominal surgery and has been associated with decreased post-operative pain, decrease use of opioids including morphine, and ileus. These all contribute to shorter lengths of stay in the hospital and better recovery in the adult population. Intravenous lidocaine is used by some anesthesiologists at BC Children's Hospital to manage post-operative pain in children receiving surgical correction for scoliosis, but this is not a standard of practice. We now propose to conduct a double-blind randomized controlled trial to determine if intravenous lidocaine, infused from start of anesthesia up to 48 hours post-operatively, will reduce morphine use and improve post-operative pain in the pediatric population.
