Project description:BackgroundThe effects of circadian rhythms on drug metabolism and efficacy are being increasingly recognized. However, the extent to which they affect general anesthesia remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of circadian rhythms on anesthetic depth and the concentrations of propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI).MethodsSixty patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries were sequentially assigned to four groups. Group ND (n = 15): Propofol TCI with Narcotrend monitor during the day (8:00-18:00), Group NN (n = 15): Propofol TCI with Narcotrend monitor during the night (22:00-5:00), Group CLTD (n = 15): Propofol closed-loop TCI guided by bispectral index (BIS) during the day (8:00-18:00), Group CLTN (n = 15): Propofol closed-loop TCI guided by BIS during the night (22:00-5:00). The Narcotrend index, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were compared between group ND and NN at 7 time points, from 5 min before induction to the end of operation. The propofol TCI concentrations, MAP and HR were compared between group CLTD and CLTN at 7 time points, from 5 min after induction to the end of operation.ResultsThe Narcotrend index, MAP, and HR in group NN were lower than those in group ND from the beginning of mechanical ventilation to the end of operation (p < 0.05). The propofol TCI concentrations in group CLTN were lower than those in group CLTD from the beginning of operation to the end of operation (p < 0.05).ConclusionCircadian rhythms have a significant effect on the depth of anesthesia and drug infusion concentrations during propofol TCI. When using general anesthesia during night surgery, the propofol infusion concentration should be appropriately reduced compared to surgery during the day.Trial registrationThe present study was registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov website ( NCT02440269 ) and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Southwest Hospital of Third Military Medical University (ethics lot number: 2016 Research No. 93). All patients provided informed written consent to participate in the study.

Project description:BackgroundTarget-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol is a well-established method of procedural sedation and has been used in Japan for anesthesia during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, the usefulness of the TCI of propofol for ECT has yet to be determined. This study aimed to compare the TCI and manual infusion (MI) of propofol anesthesia during ECT.MethodsA total of forty psychiatric inpatients receiving bitemporal ECT were enrolled in the present study and randomized into the TCI group (N?=?20) and the MI group (N?=?20). Clinical Global Impression (CGI) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores were measured before and after ECT. The clinical outcomes, anesthesia-related variables, and ECT-related variables were compared between the two groups. Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) were used to model the comparison throughout the course of ECT.ResultsA total of 36 subjects completed the present study, with 18 subjects in each group. Both the groups didn't significantly differ in the post-ECT changes in CGI and MoCA scores. However, concerning MoCA scores after 6 treatments of ECT, the MI group had improvement while the TCI group had deterioration. Compared with the MI group, the TCI group had higher doses of propofol, and longer procedural and recovery time. The TCI group seemed to have more robust seizures in the early course of ECT but less robust seizures in the later course of ECT compared with the MI group.ConclusionsThe present study does not support the use of TCI of propofol for anesthesia of ECT.Trial registration(ClinicalTrials.gov): NCT03863925 .

Project description:BackgroundThe present study was to compare the potential impact of remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia regimen vs. conventional sevoflurane-sufentanil balanced anesthesia on postoperative recovery of consciousness indicated by bispectral index (BIS) values in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.MethodsPatients undergoing cardiac surgery were randomly allocated to get the remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia employing target-controlled infusion (TCI) of remifentanil and propofol (Group-PR, n = 15) or a balanced-anesthesia employing sevoflurane-inhalation and TCI-sufentanil (Group-C, n = 19). In Group-PR, plasma concentration (Cp) of TCI-remifentanil was fixed at 20 ng/ml, and the effect-site concentration of TCI-propofol was adjusted within 0.8-2.0 ?g/ml to maintain BIS value of 40-60. In Group-C, sevoflurane dosage was adjusted within 1-1.5 minimum alveolar concentration to maintain BIS of 40-60, and Cp of TCI-sufentanil was fixed at 0.4 ng/ml. The inter-group difference in the time for achieving postoperative BIS > 80 (T-BIS80) in the intensive care unit was determined as the primary outcome. The inter-group difference in the extubation time was determined as the secondary outcome.ResultsT-BIS80, was shorter in Group-PR than Group-C (121.4 ± 64.9 min vs. 182.9 ± 85.1 min, respectively; the difference of means -61.5 min; 95% CI -115.7 to -7.4 min; effect size 0.812; P = 0.027). The extubation time was shorter in Group-PR than in Group-C (434.7 ± 131.3 min vs. 946.6 ± 393.3 min, respectively, P < 0.001).ConclusionsCompared with the conventional sevoflurane-sufentanil balanced anesthesia, the remifentanil-based propofol-supplemented anesthesia showed significantly faster postoperative conscious recovery in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Project description:Application of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) may be considered as unpractical when compared with inhalational anesthesia. Although it is mostly not recommended, mixing intravenous agents is popular in clinical practice. The aim of the present study was to investigate the suitability of using remifentanil-propofol mixture (MIXTIVA) for TIVA. Adult patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists grade of I-II scheduled for elective thyroidectomy were randomly allocated to 3 groups (n=32 for each) to receive TIVA with remifentanil and propofol infusions separately (control group, Group I) or with MIXTIVA infusion that contained remifentanil/propofol at a proportion of 2/1,000 or 3/1,000 (remifentanil concentration, 20 or 30 µg/ml in 1% propofol in Group II or Group III, respectively). The extubation time (the primary outcome of the study), the orientation time and number of patients in whom intraoperative hypotension, hypertension or bradycardia episodes were encountered during anesthesia were comparable among the groups. The mean remifentanil infusion rate in Group III was significantly higher than that in the other groups. The mean propofol infusion rates and mean bispectral index (BIS) scores during anesthesia were comparable among groups. Hypotension accompanied with a high BIS was encountered in one patient in Group III. In conclusion, compared to the standard TIVA technique using separate drug infusions, MIXTIVA infusion used for thyroidectomies did not result in any statistically significant difference in recovery and clinical outcomes. This technique may be considered as a practical implementation for busy ambulatory centers performing general anesthesia. The present study was retrospectively registered at clinicaltrials.gov (trial registration no. NCT04394897).

Project description:The clinical benefits to be expected from intraoperative nociception monitors are currently under investigation. Among these devices, the Analgesia Nociception-Index (ANI) has shown promising results under sevoflurane anesthesia. Our study investigated ANI-guided remifentanil administration under propofol anesthesia. We hypothesized that ANI guidance would result in reduced remifentanil consumption compared with standard management. This prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, bi-centric study included women undergoing elective gynecologic surgery under target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Patients were randomly assigned to an ANI or Standard group. In the ANI group, remifentanil target concentration was adjusted by 0.5 ng mL-1 steps every 5 min according to the ANI value. In the Standard group, remifentanil was managed according to standard practice. Our primary objective was to compare remifentanil consumption between the groups. Our secondary objectives were to compare the quality of anesthesia, postoperative analgesia and the incidence of chronic pain. Eighty patients were included. Remifentanil consumption was lower in the ANI group: 4.4 (3.3; 5.7) vs. 5.8 (4.9; 7.1) µg kg-1 h-1 (difference = -1.4 (95% CI, -2.6 to -0.2), p = 0.0026). Propofol consumption was not different between the groups. Postoperative pain scores were low in both groups. There was no difference in morphine consumption 24 h after surgery. The proportion of patients reporting pain 3 months after surgery was 18.8% in the ANI group and 30.8% in the Standard group (difference = -12.0 (95% CI, -32.2 to 9.2)). ANI guidance resulted in lower remifentanil consumption compared with standard practice under propofol anesthesia. There was no difference in short- or long-term postoperative analgesia.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that women achieve a better quality of postoperative recovery from total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) than from inhalation anesthesia, but the effect of anesthesia type on recovery in male patients is unclear. This study therefore compared patient recovery between males undergoing lumbar surgery who received TIVA and those who received sevoflurane anesthesia.MethodsEighty male patients undergoing elective one- or two-level primary transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) were randomly divided into two groups: the TIVA group (maintenance was achieved with propofol and remifentanil) or sevoflurane group (SEVO group: maintenance was achieved with sevoflurane and remifentanil). The quality of recovery-40 questionnaire (QoR-40) was administered before surgery and on postoperative days 1 and 2 (POD1 and POD2). Pain scores, postoperative nausea and vomiting, postoperative hospital stay, anesthesia consumption, and adverse effects were recorded.ResultsThe QoR-40 scores were similar on the three points (Preoperative, POD1 and POD2). Pain scores were significantly lower in the SEVO group than in the TIVA group on POD1 (30.6 vs 31.4; P = 0.01) and POD2 (32 vs 33; P = 0.002). There was no significant difference in the postoperative hospital stay or complications in the postanesthesia care unit between the TIVA group and the SEVO group.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the quality of recovery is not significantly different between male TLIF surgery patients who receive TIVA and those who receive sevoflurane anesthesia. Patients in the TIVA group had better postoperative analgesic effect on POD2.Trial registrationThis was registered at http://www.chictr.org.cn (registration number ChiCTR-IOR-16007987, registration date: 24/02/2016).

Project description:Mechanisms through which anesthetics disrupt neuronal activity are incompletely understood. In order to study anesthetic mechanisms in the intact brain, tight control over anesthetic pharmacology in a genetically and neurophysiologically accessible animal model is essential. Here, we developed a pharmacokinetic model that quantitatively describes propofol distribution into and elimination out of the brain. To develop the model, we used jugular venous catheters to infuse propofol in mice and measured propofol concentration in serial timed brain and blood samples using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We then used adaptive fitting procedures to find parameters of a three compartment pharmacokinetic model such that all measurements collected in the blood and in the brain across different infusion schemes are fit by a single model. The purpose of the model was to develop target controlled infusion (TCI) capable of maintaining constant brain propofol concentration at the desired level. We validated the model for two different targeted concentrations in independent cohorts of experiments not used for model fitting. The predictions made by the model were unbiased, and the measured brain concentration was indistinguishable from the targeted concentration. We also verified that at the targeted concentration, state of anesthesia evidenced by slowing of the electroencephalogram and behavioral unresponsiveness was attained. Thus, we developed a useful tool for performing experiments necessitating use of anesthetics and for the investigation of mechanisms of action of propofol in mice.

Project description:Background:Target-controlled infusion (TCI) propofol and sevoflurane are common agents for general anesthesia, including for kidney transplantation procedure. This study compared the effect of TCI propofol and sevoflurane on intraoperative hemodynamic profile in kidney transplant patients. Methods:A single-blinded prospective study was performed in 46 kidney transplant recipients who were randomized into receiving TCI propofol or sevoflurane as anesthetics maintenance. Hemodynamic parameters such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) were measured at baseline before induction, postintubation, first surgical incision, every 15 minutes after the first incision, reperfusion, and 15 minutes after reperfusion. Data were analyzed using unpaired t-test, paired t-test, and general linear model. Results:Intraoperative MAP, CI, SVI, and SVRI changes were similar in both groups (p?=?0.480, 0.216, 0.086, and 0.054). In comparison to the baseline value, TCI propofol and sevoflurane groups showed significant reductions of MAP at postintubation (p=0.010; p < 0.001) and during the first surgical incision (p=0.009; p < 0.001); significant reduction of CI at postintubation (p=0.003; p < 0.001) and during the first surgical incision (p < 0.001; p < 0.001); significant reduction of SVI at postintubation (p=0.013; p=0.008), during the first surgical incision (p=0.008; p=0.003), and 15 minutes after reperfusion (p=0.010; p=0.005); and significant increasing of SVRI during the first surgical incision (p=0.007; p=0.005). The TCI propofol group showed significantly lower SVRI compared to the sevoflurane group postintubation (p=0.029) and during the first surgical incision (p=0.026). Conclusion:Intraoperative hemodynamic profile was similar between the TCI propofol and sevoflurane group during kidney transplant surgery. The TCI propofol group had higher CI and SVI but showed significantly lower SVRI as compared to the sevoflurane group. The incidence of postanesthesia agitation, postoperative outcome, and complication were not significantly different between the two groups.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Intravertebral and general anesthesia (GA) are two main anesthesia approaches but both have defects. This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of subarachnoid anesthesia combined with propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) on blood loss and transfusion for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients in comparison with combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) or GA. METHODS:Totally, 240 patients (aged ?65 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists [ASA] I-III) scheduled for posterior THA were enrolled from September 1st, 2017 to March 1st, 2018. All cases were randomly divided into three groups to receive CSEA (group C, n?=?80), GA (group G, n?=?80), or subarachnoid anesthesia and propofol TCI (group T, n?=?80), respectively. Primary outcomes measured were intra-operative blood loss, autologous and allogeneic blood transfusion, mean arterial pressure at different time points, length of stay in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), length of hospital stay, and patient satisfaction degree. Furthermore, post-operative pain scores and complications were also observed. The difference of quantitative index between groups were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, repeated measurement generalized linear model, Student-Newman-Keuls test or rank-sum test, while ratio index was analyzed by Chi-square test or Fisher exact test. RESULTS:Basic characteristics were comparable among the three groups. Intra-operative blood loss in group T (331.53?±?64.33?mL) and group G (308.03?±?64.90?mL) were significantly less than group C (455.40?±?120.48?mL, F?=?65.80, P?<?0.001). Similarly, the autologous transfusion of group T (130.99?±?30.36?mL) and group G (124.09?±?24.34?mL) were also markedly less than group C (178.31?±?48.68?mL, F?=?52.99, P?<?0.001). The allogenetic blood transfusion of group C (0 [0, 100.00]) was also significantly larger than group T (0) and group G (0) (Z?=?2.47, P?=?0.047). Except for the baseline, there were significant differences in mean arterial blood pressures before operation (F?=?496.84, P?<?0.001), 10-min after the beginning of operation (F?=?351.43, P?<?0.001), 30-min after the beginning of operation (F?=?559.89, P?<?0.001), 50-min after the beginning of operation (F?=?374.74, P?<?0.001), and at the end of operation (F?=?26.14, P?<?0.001) among the three groups. Length of stay in PACU of group T (9.41?±?1.19?min) was comparable with group C (8.83?±?1.26?min), and both were significantly shorter than group G (16.55?±?3.10?min, F?=?352.50, P?<?0.001). There were no significant differences among the three groups in terms of length of hospitalization and post-operative visual analog scale scores. Patient satisfaction degree of group T (77/80) was significantly higher than group C (66/80, ??=?7.96, P?=?0.004) and G (69/80, ??=?5.01, P?=?0.025). One patient complained of post-dural puncture headache and two complained of low back pain in group C, while none in group T. Incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting in group G (10/80) was significantly higher than group T (3/80, ??=?4.10, P?=?0.043) and group C (2/80, ??=?5.76, P?=?0.016). No deep vein thrombosis or delayed post-operative functional exercise was detected. CONCLUSIONS:Single subarachnoid anesthesia combined with propofol TCI seems to perform better than CSEA and GA for posterior THA in elderly patients, with less blood loss and peri-operative transfusion, higher patient satisfaction degree and fewer complications.

Project description:The motive of this study was to investigate the interaction between polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene and anesthetic effects following pediatric tonsillectomy. In total, 240 children undergoing tonsillectomy with preoperative propofol-remifentanil anesthesia were selected. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of children after operation, and the MDR1 gene polymorphisms of 2677 G>T/A, 1236 C>T and 3435 C>T were detected by direct sequencing. We tested mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate at several time-points: T0 (5 mins after the repose), T1 (0?min after tracheal intubation), T2 (5 mins after the tracheal intubation), T3 (0?min after the tonsillectomy), T4 (0?min after removal of the mouth-gag) and T5 (5?min after the extubation). The visual analog scale, the face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability pain assessment, and the Ramsay sedation score were recorded after the patients regained consciousness. Adverse reactions were also recorded. The time of induction, respiration recovery, eye-opening, and extubation of children with the CC genotype were found to be shorter compared to the CT?+?TT genotype of MDR1 1236C?>?T (all P?<.05). The mean arterial pressure, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, and heart rate were significantly reduced at T5 in children with the CC genotype (all P?<.05). The visual analog scale at 1, 2, 4, and 8?hours post-operation, and the Ramsay sedation score at 5, 10, and 30 min after the extubation were decreased, while the face, legs, activity, cry, and consolability pain assessment score increased (all P?<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the adverse reaction of MDR1 mutations (P> 0.05). It could be concluded that anesthetic effect following pediatric tonsillectomy in patients with the MDR1 1236C?>?T CC genotype was stronger than in those carrying the CT?+?TT genotype.
