Objective To evaluate the association between anesthesia regimen (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) and postoperative infection in adult cardiac patients undergoing cardiac surgery. MethodsThe clinical data of 496 elective adults undergoing cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass from June 2019 to June 2020 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were retrospectively analyzed, including 251 females and 245 males with an average age of 54.1±11.4 years. American Society of Anesthesiologists grade was Ⅰ-Ⅲ. There were 243 patients in a volatile group with sevoflurane or desflurane, and 253 patients in an intravenous anesthesia group with propofol. The primary outcome was the incidence of infection within 30 days after cardiac surgery, including pulmonary infection, surgical site infection, sepsis, and urinary tract infection. The secondary outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, incidence of reintubation, ICU stay, postoperative length of hospital stay and total hospitalization cost. Results A total of 155 (31.3%) patients developed postoperative infection within 30 days, with an incidence of 32.9% in the volatile group and 29.6% in the intravenous anesthesia group. There was no statistical difference in the incidence of infection (RR=1.111, 95%CI 0.855 to 1.442, P=0.431) or the secondary outcomes (P>0.05) between the two groups. Conclusion The anesthesia regimen (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) has no association with the risk of occurrence of postoperative infection in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
Objective To observe the systemic inhalation anesthetic effects of preterm children with different gestational ages under ocular fundus examination, and to assess its safety. Methods Fifty-one preterm children with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were included in the study. These kids were divided into 2 groups, group Ⅰ included 24 kids with a corrected gestational age of 33 to ＜44 weeks, and group Ⅱ included 27 kids with a corrected gestational age of 44 to 64 weeks. The preterm months were same (t=-1.3.P＞0.05), but the body weights were different (t=-10.5.P＜0.05) between these two groups. Anesthesia was induced by inhalation of 6% sevoflurane, and the period from the beginning of inhalation to disappearance of body movement was the induction time. 6% sevoflurane was inhaled continuously for another period of the induction time, and then the concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to a maintenance concentration. The initial maintenance concentration was 3%, and was adjusted by 0.5% each time. Sequential method was used to determine the subsequent maintenance concentration. If the preceding patient had not moved during the maintenance period, the sevoflurane concentration was decreased by 0.5% for the next patient. If the preceding patient had moved during the maintenance period, the sevoflurane concentration was increased by 0.5% for the next patient. Respiratory depression and cough during the induction and maintenance period, duration of anesthesia and recovery time were recorded. Choking and vomiting during drinking or milk-feeding in one hour after the ocular fundus examination were also recorded. Results The effective inhale concentration in 50% patient of sevoflurane was 2.5% in group Ⅰ, 2.9% in group Ⅱ. The average maintenance concentration was (2.5plusmn;0.5)% in group Ⅰ, (3.0plusmn;0.5)% in group Ⅱ. The difference was statistically significant (t=-3.3.P＜0.05). The average duration of anesthesia and the average awake time were the same (t=0.04 and -1.0 respectively.P＞0.05) between these two groups. The average induction time was significantly shorter in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ, the difference was statistically significant (t=-4.9.P＜0.05). All patients were successfully completed the ocular examination. No respiratory depression or cough occurred during and after the examination. No choking and vomiting during drinking or milkfeeding in one hour after the ocular fundus examination. Conclusion Anesthesia with inhaled sevoflurane by a face mask is safe for preterm outpatients undergoing fundus examination.
摘要:目的:定量测定50 %小儿在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因胶浆的情况下平稳拔除喉罩时呼气末七氟烷浓度。方法:25例择期行四肢及体表手术的患儿,高流量吸入七氟烷诱导并以七氟烷和氧化亚氮维持麻醉,不使用肌肉松弛剂及静脉麻醉药物,手术结束后停止吸入氧化亚氮,并维持设定的七氟烷浓度10min后拔除喉罩。根据Dixon序贯法确定喉罩拔除时的七氟烷浓度,每0.1 Vol%七氟烷为1个增减单位。患儿未出现咳嗽、牙关紧闭、体动、屏气及喉痉挛则认为拔除喉罩平稳。结果:50 %小儿平稳拔除喉罩时呼气末七氟烷浓度(EC50)为1.22 Vol%(95 %的置信区间分别为0.99 Vol%～1.49 Vol%)。结论:在喉罩表面涂抹丁卡因胶浆的情况下,3～8岁患儿喉罩满意拔除时呼气末七氟烷EC50值为1.22 Vol%。Abstract: Objective: To determine the concentration of sevoflurane where 50%( EC50 ) of the attempts to remove the laryngeal mask airway (LMA ) with the Teracainum Gel would be successful in children. Methods: Twentyfive nonpremedicated children, aged 38 years old, ASA physical status I, scheduled for extremities or peripherical surgery were enrolled in this study. General anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane and maintained with sevoflurane and nitrous oxide in oxygen. After the surgery, the target concentration was maintained for at least 10 min, and then the LMA was removed. Each target concentration was predetermined by the Dixon’s upanddown method (with 0.1 Vol% as a step size), starting at 1.20 Vol% concentration of sevoflurane. A removal accomplished without coughing, teeth clenching, gross purposeful movement, breath holding or laryngospasm, during or within 1 min after removal was considered to be successful. Results:The concentration of sevoflurane to achieve successful LMA removal in 50% of children was 1.22 Vol% (95%CL, 0.99 Vol%1.49 Vol%). Conclusion: The EC50 value of sevoflurane for LMA smooth extubation in children aged 38 years old with teracainum gel was 1.22 Vol%.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of anesthesia regime (volatile or intravenous anesthetics) with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).MethodsThe electronic medical records of 194 patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital, Sichuan University between September 2018 and February 2019 were reviewed, including 92 males and 102 females with an average age of 53 years. The patients were classified into a volatile group (n=94) or a total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) group (n=100) according to anesthesia regimen during surgery (including CPB). The primary outcome was the incidence of PPCs within first 7 d after surgery. Secondary outcomes included incidence of reintubation, duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU stay and hospital stay.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the incidence of PPCs between the two groups (RR=1.020, 95%CI 0.763-1.363, P=0.896), with an incidence of 48.9% in the volatile group and 48.0% in the TIVA group. Secondary outcomes were also found no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionNo association of anesthesia regimen with the incidence of PPCs is found in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery under CPB.
