Filter by:QT interval, defined as the time between the beginning of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave in electrocardiography (ECG), is an indicator of depolarization and repolarization of the myocardium.11 Prolongation of the heart rate corrected QT (QTc) interval reflects electrical instability of ventricles and is associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, including torsade de pointes, ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Spinal anesthesia can cause profound prolongation of the QTc interval due to disparity between lumbar and thoracic sympathetic activity following subarachnoid block. Meanwhile inhalational anesthetics, sevoflurane, isoflurane, and desflurane are known to prolong QTc interval and intravenous anesthetics such as propofol, thiopental, etomidate and ketamin can also cause remarkable prolongation of the QTc interval. Moreover laryngoscopy and intubation may contribute to prolongation of the QTc interval because of the sympathetic stimulation. Over the years it has been occurred an increase in the proportion of elderly population requiring surgical anesthesia. The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias increases in advancing age even in the absence of underlying heart disease and elderly patients have reduced physiological functions and poor tolerance to anesthesia. However the choice of anesthesia type is critical in this population. To the best of knowledge, there was no published study to compare spinal anesthesia and inhalational anesthesia in elderly patients with regard to the QT interval changes. Investigators aimed to investigate the effects of spinal anesthesia on QT, QTc intervals and to compare general anesthesia with sevofluran in elderly patients.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine on evoked potentials in adult patients undergoing spinal surgery under intravenous anesthesia
The aim of this clinical study is to determine the consumption of sevoflurane, which is one of the inhalation anesthetics, with metabolic age and basal metabolic rate. The basal metabolic rates and metabolic ages of the patients who will be given sevoflurane- maintained general anesthesia were measured preoperatively. The relationship between the amount of sevoflurane consumption and the measured data of the patients in the postoperative period was examined.
Sevoflurane is a volatile agent easy to control thanks to the Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) allowing its titration for an optimal depth of anesthesia. Growing biomedical evidence also highlight its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects protecting against ischemia-reperfusion injury in cardiac surgery and, potentially, in organ transplant. The estimated annual contribution of inhalational anesthetic agents represents about 0.01% of global CO2 production. Alternatives such as total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) avoid direct greenhouse emission, but their indirect carbon footprint remains a major problem. For all these reasons, this research aim to find a way to maintain the use of sevoflurane for its clinical benefits while reducing its consumption to limit the environmental consequences. The use of dexmedetomidine could help anesthesiologists to achieve this greener sevoflurane anesthesia. Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist described as a unique sedative with analgesic and sympatholytic properties. This new randomized controlled trial (RCT) will answer the question whether a single bolus of dexmedetomidine (0.6 mcg.kg-1 on 10 minutes during induction) compared to placebo has a clinically significant impact on sevoflurane consumption during laparoscopic elective surgery.
Mechanical ventilation will bring many adverse effects. Positive pressure can affect hemodynamics. Inhalation of higher concentrations of oxygen during mechanical ventilation can result in reabsorbed atelectasis for the lungs with a low ventilation-perfusion ratio. Patients who are intubated and mechanically ventilated are at risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia. Mechanical ventilation can induce or aggravate lung injury, called ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) , Minimizing the duration of mechanical ventilation is the best way to reduce complications. Sevoflurane is a halogen group of inhaled anesthetics commonly used in clinical, with sedation, analgesia, muscle relaxation. Sevoflurane also inhibited respiratory function, tidal volume decreased with the depth of anesthesia, respiratory rate increased, higher than the conscious respiratory rate, but not enough to fully compensate for the decreased tidal volume. The results showed that with the increase of the depth of anesthesia, the minute ventilation decreased, and the ability to remove carbon dioxide also decreased. Based on the background of the study and the pharmacological properties of sevoflurane, we sought to explore the maximum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for maintaining effective spontaneous respiration in patients, i.e.FiO2 = 30% , PaO2 > 92% , VT > 5 ml/kg, RR > 8/min, PETCO2 < 50 mmHg, sustained > 20s, the time from the beginning of inhalation induction to 1 point OAAS, the changes of hemodynamics during induction, and the recall of induction and operation were also explored.
With the introduction of technology into our lives, we come across two different anesthesia management modules in anesthesia machines. The first of these is the traditional method, the manual controlled anesthesia technique; the other is the automatic controlled anesthesia technique. In our daily practice, both anesthesia techniques can be used in patients who have undergone general anesthesia. These two techniques can be used in both high-flow anesthesia and low-flow anesthesia applications.
As a novel ultra-short-acting benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam has been accepted for induction and maintenance of clinical anesthesia. Compared to the traditional benzodiazepines drugs, Remimazolam combines the safety of midazolam with the effectiveness of propofol, and also has the advantages of acting quickly, short half-life, no injection pain, slight respiratory depression, independent of liver and kidney metabolism, long-term infusion without accumulation, and has a specific antagonist: flumazenil. This study aims to investigate whether Remimazolam reduces the incidence of emergence agitation in children after ophthalmic surgery, compared to sevoflurane (RCT).
In the present work the investigators will study the accuracy of the MAAS (Minimal-flow Autocontrol Anesthesia System) method to estimate the percentage of halogenated anesthetic (HA) to be supplied to the anesthetic circuit based on the estimation of HA uptake during the maintenance phase. The investigators will evaluate the accuracy of sevoflurane and desflurane vaporizers to guarantee the administration of that amount of estimated HA, thus guaranteeing the maintenance of the target concentration of HA at the end of expiration: end-tidal target HA% (ettHA%). To do this, the investigators will quantify the number of adjustments that need to be made to each vaporizer to maintain ettHA%. As secondary objectives, the investigators will analyze the time to reach the target concentration of HA, the deviations that occur from that concentration despite the correct application of the method, and the consumption of HA during the procedure. Through the entire procedure, all participants will be ventilated under a tailored open lung approach (tOLA) strategy.
In this study, the investigators will evaluate whether the delivered fraction of oxygen (O2) and sevoflurane administered through a a closed circuit and calculated on the basis of the estimations of O2 consumption (VO2) and sevoflurane uptake (SEVOup) through the inspired-expired fraction gradients of both gases once subtracted the physiological dead space (VDphys), adequately fits the real gases consumption. All participants will be ventilated under a tailored open lung approach (tOLA) strategy.
This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is performed after obtaining written informed consent of patients who are scheduled for elective general surgery. After the admission to the preoperative unit 30 minutes before the surgery, The preoperative anxiety of patients is evaluated by The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Patients are randomly assigned to one of two groups in a 1:1 ratio by a computer-generated list. Patients receive midazolam IV at 0.04 mg/kg (group M) and an equal volume of saline IV (group C, control group). Anesthesia is induced with 2mg/kg of IV propofol. At a dose of 0.6 mg/kg, IV rocuronium bromide is given for neuromuscular blockade. Anesthesia is maintained at 2% sevoflurane. At the end of the surgery, anesthesia is terminated and the awake patients are extubated.
