Filter by:Cerebral autoregulation is defined by the capacity of the brain to maintain a constant cerebral blood flow (CBF) despite variations of arterial pressure. However, when the arterial pressure is below a critical threshold, cerebral blood decreases. This critical threshold is called the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation (LLA). Cardiopulmonary bypass is a unique environment wherein systemic blood flow is totally controlled by the cardiopulmonary bypass pump. High pump flows combined with low arterial pressures has been shown to not compromise neurologic postoperative outcomes. Our hypothesis is that that LLA may depend on the cardiopulmonary bypass flow, ie the LLA may decrease when the cardiopulmonary bypass flow increases, explaining why low arterial pressure may be well tolerated.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is frequently applied in thoracic surgery operations. VATS has become the standard procedure in minor and major lung surgeries. In recent years, regional anesthesia techniques have also been frequently applied to patients for pain relief. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) are also among the regional anesthesia techniques frequently used in thoracic surgery. General anesthesia (GA) is the main method of anesthesia for thoracic surgery. However, GA can only inhibit the projection system of the cortical limbic system or hypothalamic cortex. GA cannot completely block the transmission of peripheral noxious stimulus to the central nervous system and cannot effectively inhibit the intraoperative stress response. With the addition of peripheral blocks such as TPVB, ESPB, and SAPB, more stable hemodynamics is expected by providing preemptive analgesia in patients. As a result of all these; In this study, we aimed to compare the intraoperative hemodynamic changes of patients who underwent preoperative ESPB in patients who will undergo VATS resection under GA with those who underwent postoperative ESPB.
Main hypothesis: there is no difference between stroke volume measurements recorded by a new noninvasive finger cuff system (NexFin) and invasive hemodynamic monitoring systems as Picco2-system, FloTrac and transesophageal echocardiography
Magnesium had an inhibitory effect on neuromuscular transmission and caused a decrease in muscle fiber membrane excitability. It reduces the amount of acetylcholine that is released at the motor nerve terminal by decreasing the calcium conductance of presynaptic voltage-dependent calcium channels. After pre-treatment with magnesium, an increased speed of onset and a prolongation of the recovery period of neuromuscular blockade have been observed with other non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) such as atracurium, vecuronium and rocuronium. Rocuronium is the currently preferred NMBA used as an alternative to succinylcholine for rapid tracheal intubation. As an alternative to succinylcholine, high doses of NMBA have been tested for rapid sequence intubation. This excessively high dose of rocuronium, however, prolongs the duration of the neuromuscular block and this may not be warranted in every surgical setting. The reduction of onset time of rocuronium by magnesium pre-treatment can make intubation condition more rapid and much better clinically. It will thus be interesting to compare intubation conditions of a standard intubation dose of rocuronium after magnesium pre-treatment with high dose of rocuronium or standard dose of rocuronium.
