Filter by:Emergence agitation (EA), a phenomenon observed at the time of recovery from general anesthesia (GA).The cause of ED appears to be multifactorial in origin. Use of volatile anesthetics, prolonged duration and type of surgery, pain, and rapid emergence are some factors known to increase its incidence
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
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.
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.
Brief summary: In order to get a better clinical plan for brain protection during perioperative anesthesia for high-risk patients - carotid intima stripped. We observing the hemodynamic changes of sevoflurane post-treatment in carotid intima stripped, the comparison of postoperative cognitive function and postoperative radiographic changes.
The investigators will perform clinical studies to test the hypothesis that participants who have total hip/knee replacement under sevoflurane, propofol or desflurane anesthesia will have different effects on the incidence and severity of POD/POCD, and POD/POCD is associated with retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, as well as Serum level of vitamin B12, folic acid, homocysteine and human myeloid differentiation protein-2 (MD-2s). The investigators plan to perform the studies in 300 participants at Shanghai 10th People's Hospital.
Sevoflurane and propofol are the most popular drug choices for maintenance of general anaesthesia for caesarean section. However, effects of these two anesthetics on maternal and fetal outcomes after caesarean section haven't been compared directly. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol as maintenance of general anesthesia, and to try to determine which anesthetic is better for maternal and fetal outcomes after caesarean section.
