During the first and last 3-mo eras(era 1 and 3), no HFNO was available, whereas it was an option during the second 3-mo era(era 2). The primary outcome was the percent utilization of GA vs deep sedation in each period. Secondary outcomes included oxygen saturation nadir during sedation between periods, as well as procedure duration, and anesthesia-only time between periods and for GA vs sedation cases respectively.RESULTS During the study period 238 ERCP or EUS cases were identified for analysis. Statistical testing was employed and a P < 0.050 was significant unless the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was used. General anesthesia use was significantly lower in era 2 compared to era 1 with the same trend between era 2 and 3(P = 0.012 and 0.045 respectively). The oxygen saturation nadir during sedation was significantly higher in era 2 compared to era 3(P < 0.001) but not between eras 1 and 2(P = 0.028) or 1 and 3(P = 0.069). The procedure time within each era was significantly longer under GA compared to deep sedation(P ≤ 0.007) as was the anesthesia-only time(P ≤ 0.001).CONCLUSION High-flow nasal oxygen availability was associated with decreased GA utilization and improved oxygenation for ERCP and EUS during sedation.展开更多

This study examined cortical blood flow (CBF), cerebral oxygenation, and brain oxygen consumption in relation to deep hypothermic CPB with alpha-stat or pH-stat management. Methods: Twenty-two pigs were cooled with alpha-stat or pH-stat during CPB to 15℃ esophageal temperature. CBF and cerebral oxygenation were measured continuously with a laser flowmeter and near-infrared spec-troscopy, respectively. Brain oxygen consumption was measured with standard laboratory techniques. Results: During CPB cooling, CBF was significantly decreased, about 52,2%±6.3% (P<0.01 vs 92.6%±6.5% of pH-stat) at 15℃ in alpha-stat, whereas there were no significant changes in CBF in pH-stat. While cooling down, brain oxygen extraction (OER) progressively decreased, about 9.5%±0.9% and 10.9%±1.5% at 15℃ in alpha-stat and pH-stat, respectively. At 31℃ the decreased value in pH-stat was lower than in alpha-stat (29.9%±2.7% vs 22.5%±1.9%; P<0.05). The ratio of CBF/OER were 2.0±0.3 in alpha-stat and pH-stat, respectively; it was kept in constant level in alpha-stat, and significantly increased by 19 ℃ to 15℃ in pH-stat (4.9±0.9 vs 2.3±0.4; P<0.01). In mild hypothermia, cerebral oxyhemoglobin and oxygen saturation in alpha-stat were greater than that in pH-stat (102.5%±1.4% vs 99.1%±0.7%; P<0.05). In deep hypothermia, brain oxygen saturation in pH-stat was greater than that in alpha-stat (99.2%±1.0% vs 93.8%±1.0%; P<0.01), and deoxyhemoglobin in pH-stat decreased more greatly than that in alpha-stat (28.7%±6.8% vs 54.1%±4.7%; P<0.05). Conclusions: In mild hypothermic CPB, brain tissue oxygen saturation was greater in alpha-stat than in pH-stat. However, cerebral oxygenation and brain tissue oxygen saturation were better in pH-stat than in alpha-stat during profound hypothermia. PH-stat strategy provided much more oxygen to brain tissue before deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and fourteen patients with supratentorial tumors for elective craniotomy, ASA grade I - II , were randomly allocated to six groups. Patients were anesthetized with continuous intravenous infusion of 2% procaine 1. 0 mg · kg-1 · min-1 in Group I , inhalation of 1. 0% - 1. 5% isoflurane in Group II , and infusion of 2% procaine 0. 5 mg·kg · min-1 combined with inhalation of 0.5% -0.7% isoflurane in Group III during the period of study. The end-tidal pressure of CO2(PET CO2 ) was maintained at 4.0 kPa in these 3 groups. In Group IV, V and VI, the anesthetic technique was the same as that in Group I but the PETCO2 was adjusted to 3. 5, 4. 0 and 4. 5 kPa respectively for 60 min during which the study was performed. The radial arterial and retrograde jugular venous blood samples were obtained at the onset and the end of this study for determining jugular venous bulb oxygen saturation ( SjvO2 ) , arteriovenous oxygen content difference (AVDO2) and cerebral extraction of oxygen (CEO2). Results: In Group I and I SjvO2, AVDO2 and CEO2 remained stable. Although SjvO2 kept constant, AVDO2 and CEO2 decreased significantly (P <0. 05) in Group II. Moreover, AVDO2 and CEO2 in Group II were significantly lower than those of Group III (P<0. 05). In Group IV, 60 min after hyperventilation, SjvO2 and jugular venous oxygen content ( CjvO2 ) decreased markedly (P < 0. 01 ) while CEO2 increased significantly ( P <0.01) . In addition, SjvO2, CjvO2 and CEO2 in Group IV were significantly different from the corresponding parameters in Group V and Group VI (P <0. 05) . In view of sustained excessive hyperventilation, SjvO2 was less than 50% in 37.5% patients of Group IV. Conclusion: Anesthesia with intravenous infusion of procaine combined with isoflurane inhalation proved to be more suitable for neurosurgery than procaine intravenous anesthesia or isoflurane inhalation anesthesia alone. PaCO2 at 4.0 -4. 5 kPa in patients undergoing craniocerebral surgery during neuroanesthesia would be beneficial in both decreasing ICP and maintaining cerebral oxygen supply/consumption balance.展开更多

Methods： Double-lumen tube bronchial catheter intubation and interstitial positive pressure ventilation （IPPV） were used in all patients with video-assisted thoracic surgery after fast-speed venous induced anesthesia. IPPV, positive expiratory pressure （PEEP） and continuous positive airway pressure （CPAP） in collapse lobes of lung were used in one lung ventilation, and ventilation parameters were adjusted. Results： Two hundred and fifity- two patients double-lumen bronchial tube intubation used by fiberscope was located very well. The level of oxygen saturation of blood （Sp02）, end.tidal carbon dioxide pressure （PETCO2） could be maintained normal. 5 cases were forced to converse video-assisted thoracic surgery to thoracotomy because of 2 cases pulmonary adhesion, 2 cases severe pulmonary dysfunction and 1 case abnormal anatomy respectively. Conclusion： Long one lung ventilation such as pulmonary adhesion, severe pulmonary dysfunction and abnormal anatomy should be considered to be relative contraindication.展开更多
