The Electroen-cephalogram (EEG) data was captured in both Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and operating room, using different anesthetic drugs. Assuming the central nervous system as a 20-tuple source, window length of 20 seconds is applied to EEG. The mentioned window is considered as 20 nonoverlapping mixed-signals (epoch). PCA algorithm is applied to these epochs, and larg-est remaining eigenvalue (LRE) and smallest remaining eigenvalue (SRE) were extracted. Correlation between extracted parameters (LRE and SRE) and depth of anesthesia (DOA) was measured using Prediction probability (PK). The results show the superiority of SRE than LRE in predicting DOA in the case of ICU and isoflurane, and the slight superiority of LRE than SRE in propofol induction. Finally, a mixture model containing both LRE and SRE could predict DOA as well as Relative Beta Ratio (RBR), which expresses the high capability of the proposed PCA based method in estimating DOA.展开更多

The β2/θ -ratio was compared to the relative β-ratio which had been commercially used in the BIS monitor. Sensitivity and reliability of the β2/θ -ratio and EEG measurement locations were analyzed for their effectiveness in measuring anesthesia depth during different stages of propofol induced anesthesia (awake, induction, maintenance, and emergence). The analysis indicated that 1) the relative β -ratio and β2/θ-ratio derived from the prefrontal, frontal, and the central cortex EEG signals were of substantial sensitivity for capturing anesthesia depth changes. 2) Certain channel positions in the frontal part of the cortex, such as , had the combined benefits of substantial sensitivity and noise resistance. 3) The β2/θ-ratio captured the initial excitation, while the relative β -ratio did not. 4) In the maintenance and emergence stages, the β2/θ -ratio showed improved reliability. Implications: The ratio of powers in EEG frequency bands and derived from the frontal cortex EEG channels has combined benefits of substantial sensitivity and noise resistance in measuring anesthesia depth.展开更多

Methods The Lempel-Ziv complexity C(n) was used to analyze EEG and its four components (delta, theta, alpha, beta), which was recorded from SD rats under different DOA. The relationship between C(n) and DOA was studied. Results The C(n) of EEG will decrease while the depth of anesthesia increasing and vice versa. It can be used to detect the change of DOA sensitively. Compared with power spectrum, the change of C(n) is opposite to that of power spectrum. Only the C(n) of delta rhythm has obvious variations induced by the change of DOA, and the variations of delta is as similar as the EEG's. Conclusion The study shows that the desynchronized EEG is replaced by the synchronized EEG when rat goes into anesthesia state from awake, that is just the reason why complexity and power spectrum appear corresponding changes under different DOA. C(n) of delta rhythm dynamic change leads to the change of EEG, and the delta rhythm is the dominant rhythm during anesthesia for rats.展开更多

Continuous infusion of propofol and remifentanil for anesthesia and maintenance of propofol were divided into two groups: BIS-I (BIS: 45-55) and BIS-II (BIS: 55-65) by adusting the doses of propofol. The data were recorded as following, thewhole dosage of propofol, the time of extubation and the score of VAS. The level of plasma cortisol was finished at the time of incision and tracheal intubation. MMSE scores were recorded on the day before operation and follow-up at 3 and 7 d postoperatively. Record the patient's operation to discharge time, postoperative complications.Results: The concentration of cortisol in BIS-I group was higher than that in BIS-II group. There was no significant difference in extubation time, extubation VAS score and MMSE score after operation.Conclusion:There were no significant differences in the BIS values between 45 and 65 for the elderly patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery, and there were no significant differences in the patients' postoperative stress, wake, extubation, early postoperative pain scores and postoperative cognitive function. BIS values in 45-55 compared to 55-65 patients with low plasma cortisol levels may be associated with better control of stress levels, to maintain the BIS value between 45-55 anesthesia depths is more reasonable.展开更多

Methods: A total of 90 elderly patients with gallstone who were admitted in our hospital for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were included in the study and randomized into the observation I, II, and III groups. Narcotrend (NT) was used to monitor the anesthesia depth during operation in the three groups, and the anesthesia depth was maintained at D0, D1, and D2 levels, respectively. The vital signs before anesthesia induction, before and after tracheal intubation, before and after operation, and extubation in the three groups were monitored and recorded. ACTH, COR, and TNF-α levels before anesthesia induction, before and after operation, 1 and 4 d after operation were detected. MOCA and MMSE were used to evaluate the cognition 1d before operation and 4d after operation. Results: The fluctuation of MAP and HR after tracheal intubation, before and after operation, and extubation in observation III group was the smallest. COR level before operation in observation I group was significantly higher than that in observation III group, while COR level after operation was significantly higher than that in the observation II and III groups, and COR level before and after operation in observation II group was significantly higher than that in observation III group. ACTH level before and after operation in observation I and II groups was significantly higher than that in observation III group. The comparison of TNF-α level at each timing-point among the three groups was not statistically significant. The comparison of MOCA and MMSE scores 1d before operation and 4d after operation among the three groups was not statistically significant. Conclusions: The anesthesia depth maintaining at D2 level for elderly patients during perioperative period of LC is more beneficial to maintain the stability of haemodynamics, and reduce the stress reaction.展开更多

Method: Prospective study was designed, and the elderly patients undergone general anesthesia surgery in our hospital between March 2015 and March 2017 were selected and randomly divided into the three groups: group A with Narcotrend index 25-35;the group B with Narcotrend index 35-45;the group C with Narcotrend index 45-55. Before induction (T0), during surgery (T1), at extubation (T2) and 30 min after extubation (T3), cerebral oxygen metabolism indexes arterio-venous oxygen content difference (Da-jvO2) and cerebral oxygen extraction rate as well as stress indexes norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol and growth hormone were measured;1, 3, 5 and 7 d after surgery, mini-mental state examination was adopted to evaluate cognitive function, and the serum neuron-specific enolase, S100B and β amyloid 1-42 were measured. Results: At T1, T2 and T3, Da-jvO2 levels of group A and group B were obviously higher than those of group C whereas cerebral oxygen extraction rate levels as well as serum norepinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisol and growth hormone contents were lower than those of group C;1, 3, 5 and 7 d after surgery, mini-mental state examination scores of group B and group C were significantly higher than those of group A, while serum neuron-specific enolase, S100B and β amyloid 1-42 contents of group B and group C were significantly lower than those of group A. Conclusion: The anesthesia depth with Narcotrend index 35-45 can control cerebral oxygen metabolism, reduce stress response and improve postoperative cognitive function.展开更多

Such systems involve communication channels which introduce noises due to quantization, channel noises, and have limited communication bandwidth resources. Usually signal averaging can be used effectively in reducing noise effects when remote monitoring and diagnosis are involved. However, when feedback is intended, we show that signal averaging will lose its utility substantially. To explain this phenomenon, we analyze stability margins under signal averaging and derive some optimal strategies for selecting window sizes. A typical case of anesthe-sia depth control problems is used in this development.展开更多

Group A received deep anesthesia (BIS:35~45) and group B received shallow anesthesia (BIS:55~65). The changes of heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cortisol (Cor), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE) and T cell subsets were compared between the two groups at different time points.Results:At T2, T3, and T4, the MAP of group B was (90.37±16.34) mmHg, (105.36±13.27) mmHg, and (86.26±15.34) mmHg, which were higher than group A, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);There was no significant difference in MAP between the two groups at T1, T5 and T6 (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in HR between the two groups at each time point (P>0.05). Before anesthesia, there were no significant differences in Cor, ACTH, E, and NE between the two groups (P>0.05). At the end of surgery and 24 h after surgery, Cor, ACTH, E, and NE were higher than those before anesthesia, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the end of surgery and 24 h after surgery, Cor, ACTH, E, and NE in group B were (164.28±40.27) ng/mL, (57.85±18.66) pg/mL, (33.36±5.83) mmol/L, (301.29±41.74) mmol/L, and (156.27±44.28) ng/mL, (50.85±11.40) pg/mL, (27.65±4.78) mmol/L, (267.22±38.21) mmol/L, both higher than group A, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Before anesthesia, there was no significant difference in CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ between the two groups (P>0.05). At the end of surgery and 24 h after surgery, the CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ levels in the two groups were lower than those before anesthesia, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the end of surgery and 24 h after surgery, CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ in group B were (51.00±6.10)%, (26.85±4.31)%, (1.15±0.19), and (44.41±4.21)%, (22.41±2.51)%, (1.06±0.29), all lower than group A, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CD8 level between the two groups at different time points (P>0.05).Conclusion:The effect of deep anesthesia (BIS: 35~45) on cardiovascular response, stress level and immune function in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy was milder than that of light anesthesia (BIS: 55-65).展开更多
