Methods: Part I study: 54 patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy were randomly divided into two groups (n = 27 per group). The patients in the control group received 0.9% sodium chloride solution, whereas the patients in the magnesium group received magnesium (50 mg/kg as a bolus, then 8 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1). To maintain mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) at baseline value, the propofol infusion rate was changed when the MAP or the HR changed. The amount of propofol infused excluding the bolus dosage was divided by patient's body weight and total infusion time. Part II study: Another 20 patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10 per group). When the MAP and HR had been maintained at baseline value and the propofol infusion rate had been maintained at 80 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (magnesium group) and 160 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1 (control group), bispectral index (BIS) values were measured.
Results: Part I: The mean propofol infusion rate in the magnesium group (81.81 +/- 13.09 [mu]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was significantly less than in the control group (167.57 +/- 47.27). Part II: BIS values in the control group (40.70 +/- 3.89) were significantly less than those in the magnesium group (57.80 +/- 7.32). 相似文献
Methods: Sixty patients participated in this randomized double-blinded study. Patients received lidocaine 1% (lidocaine group) with a 1.5 mg/kg-1 intravenous bolus in 10 min followed by a 1.5 mg [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1 intravenous infusion or saline (control group). These regimens were started 30 min before surgical incision and stopped 1h after skin closure. Lidocaine blood concentrations were measured at the end of administration. In both groups, postoperative analgesia was provided exclusively by patient-controlled intravenous morphine. Pain scores, morphine consumption, and operative hip flexion were recorded over 48 h. In addition, pressure pain thresholds and the extent of hyperalgesia around surgical incision were systematically measured at 24 and 48 h.
Results: In comparison with the placebo, lidocaine did not induce any opioid-sparing effect during the first 24 h (median [25-75% interquartile range]; 17 mg [9-28] vs. 15 mg [8-23]; P = 0.54). There was no significant difference regarding the effects of lidocaine and placebo on pain score, pressure pain thresholds, extent in the area of hyperalgesia, and maximal degree of active hip flexion tolerated. Mean plasma lidocaine concentration was 2.1 +/- 0.4 [mu]g/ml. 相似文献
Methods: Before standardized general anesthesia, 56 adult scheduled for major knee surgery were randomly assigned to one of three groups, each to receive a different postoperative analgesic technique for 72 h: continuous epidural infusion, continuous femoral block, or intravenous patient-controlled morphine (dose, 1 mg; lockout interval, 7 min; maximum dose, 30 mg/4 h). The first two techniques were performed using a solution of 1% lidocaine, 0.03 mg/ml morphine, and 2 [micro sign]g/ml clonidine administered at 0.1 ml [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1. Pain was assessed at rest and during continuous passive motion using a visual analog scale. The early postoperative maximal amplitude of knee flexion was measured during continuous passive motion at 24 h and 48 h and compared with the target levels prescribed by the surgeon. To evaluate functional outcome, the maximal amplitudes were measured again on postoperative day 5, at hospital discharge (day 7), and at 1- and 3-month follow-up examinations. When the patients left the surgical ward, they were admitted to a rehabilitation center, where their length of stay depended on prospectively determined discharge criteria.
Results: The continuous epidural infusion and continuous femoral block groups showed significantly lower visual analog scale scores at rest and during continuous passive motion compared with the patient-controlled morphine group. The early postoperative knee mobilization levels in both continuous epidural infusion and continuous femoral block groups were significantly closer to the target levels prescribed by the surgeon than in the patient-controlled morphine group. On postoperative day 7, these values were 90 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) (median and 25th-27th percentiles) in the continuous epidural infusion group, 90 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) in the continuous femoral block group, and 80 [degree sign] (60-100 [degree sign]) in the patient-controlled morphine group (P < 0.05). The durations of stay in the rehabilitation center were significantly shorter: 37 days (range, 30-45 days) in the continuous epidural infusion group, 40 days (range, 31-60 days) in the continuous femoral block group, and 50 days (range, 30-80 days) in the patient-controlled morphine group (P < 0.05). Side effects were encountered more frequently in the continuous epidural infusion group. 相似文献
Purpose
Both magnesium and morphine provide enhanced patient analgesia after arthroscopic knee surgery when administered separately via the intra-articular route. Magnesium sulfate amplifies the analgesic effect of morphine. This study was designed to compare the analgesic effects of intra-articular magnesium and morphine, with bupivacaine, when used separately and in combination.Methods
Eighty patients undergoing arthroscopic menisectomy were randomized blindly into four intra-articular groups: group B+Mor+Mg received 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine, morphine 2 mg, and magnesium 150 mg; group B+Mor received 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine and morphine 2 mg; group B+Mg received 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine and magnesium 150 mg; and group B received 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Pain scores at rest and during movement, analgesic duration, and total analgesic consumption were recorded.Results
Group B+Mor and group B+Mg patients had equally effective postoperative analgesia. Group B+Mor+Mg patients had significantly reduced visual analogue scale (VAS) values both at rest and during movement and significantly increased time to first postoperative analgesic request, as well as significantly reduced total analgesic consumption, compared with the other groups.Conclusion
Intra-articular administration of magnesium sulfate or morphine, with bupivacaine, had comparable analgesic effects in the doses used. Their combination provided more effective postoperative analgesia than either drug alone. 相似文献Methods: Thirty-two women were assigned randomly to one of two drug treatment groups. After premedication with 0.04 mg/kg intravenous midazolam, anesthesia was induced with 2 [micro sign]g/kg intravenous fentanyl, 1.5 mg/kg intravenous propofol, and 0.6 mg/kg intravenous rocuronium, and maintained with desflurane, 2%, and nitrous oxide, 65%, in oxygen. Before skin incision, an infusion of either remifentanil (0.02 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) or adenosine (25 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was started and subsequently titrated to maintain systolic blood pressure, heart rate, or both within 10-15% of the preincision values.
Results: Adenosine and remifentanil infusions were effective anesthetic adjuvants during lower abdominal surgery. Use of adenosine (mean +/- SEM, 166 +/- 17 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1) was associated with a significantly greater decrease in systolic blood pressure and higher heart rate values compared with remifentanil (mean +/- SEM, 0.2 +/- 0.03 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1). Total postoperative opioid analgesic use was 45% and 27% lower in the adenosine group at 0-2 h and 2-24 h after surgery, respectively. 相似文献
Methods: One hundred fifty patients who had received open-label remifentanil and propofol for intraoperative anesthesia participated in this multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy study and were randomly assigned to either the remifentanil (R) group or the morphine sulfate (M) group. Twenty minutes before the anticipated end of surgery, the propofol infusion was decreased by 50%, and patients received either a placebo bolus (R group) or a bolus of 0.15 mg/kg morphine (M group). At the end of surgery, the propofol and remifentanil maintenance infusions were discontinued and the analgesic infusion was started: either 0.1 micro gram [center dot] kg sup -1 [center dot] min sup -1 remifentanil (R group) or placebo analgesic infusion (M group). During the 25 min after tracheal extubation, remifentanil titrations in increments of 0.025 micro gram [center dot] kg sup -1 [center dot] min sup -1 and placebo boluses (R group), or 2 mg intravenous morphine boluses and placebo rate increases (M group) were administered as necessary at 5-min intervals to control pain. Patients received the 0.075 mg/kg intravenous morphine bolus (R group) or placebo (M group) at 25 and 30 min after extubation, and the analgesic infusion was discontinued at 35 min. From 35 to 65 minutes after extubation, both groups received 2-6 mg open-label morphine analgesia every 5 min as needed.
Results: Successful analgesia, defined as no or mild pain with adequate respiration (respiratory rate [RR] >or= to 8 breaths/min and pulse oximetry >or= to 90%), was achieved in more patients in the R group than in the M group (58% vs. 33%, respectively) at 25 min after extubation (P < 0.05). The median remifentanil rate for successful analgesia was 0.125 micro gram [center dot] kg sup -1 [center dot] min sup -1 (range, 0.05-0.23 micro gram [center dot] kg sup -1 [center dot] min sup -1), and the median number of 2-mg morphine boluses used was 2 (range, 0-5 boluses). At 35 min after extubation, >or= to 74% of patients in both groups experienced moderate to severe pain. Median recovery times from the end of surgery were similar between groups. Transient respiratory depression, apnea, or both were the most frequent adverse events (14% for the R group vs. 6% for the M group; P > 0.05). 相似文献
Methods: Rocuronium was infused for 1 h at a rate of 12-19 nmol[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1 to produce a steady-state 90% neuromuscular block. After 30 min, a concomitant infusion of either the reversal agent Org 25969 at a rate of 50 nmol[middle dot]kg-1[middle dot]min-1 or an infusion of an equivalent volume of saline was started. The time course of plasma concentrations of rocuronium was determined by use of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry.
Results: In both treatment groups, a steady-state plasma concentration of rocuronium was obtained after 30 min. In the saline-treated group, the plasma concentration of rocuronium and depth of block remained constant. In the Org 25969 group, neuromuscular block was reversed while the rocuronium infusion was ongoing. Simultaneously, an increase in the total plasma concentration of rocuronium (free and complexed) was observed, even though the infusion rate of rocuronium was not changed. Compared with the saline-treated group, a small increase in the postmortem bladder concentration of rocuronium was detected. 相似文献
Methods: Fifty young adult patients undergoing intestinal surgery under general anesthesia with propofol were studied. At induction, the patients received epidurally either an initial dose of 2 micro gram/kg clonidine followed by an infusion of 0.5 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 1, n = 10) or 4 micro gram/kg followed by 1 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 2, n = 20) or 8 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 followed by an infusion of 2 micro gram [center dot] kg-1 [center dot] h-1 (group 3, n = 20). During the operation, increases in arterial blood pressure or heart rate that did not respond to a propofol bolus (0.5 mg/kg) were treated with a bolus of intravenous lidocaine (1 mg/kg). Three successive injections were allowed. When baseline values were not restored, opioids were added and the patient was removed from the study. After operation, the clonidine infusions were maintained for 12 h. During this period and at every 30 min, sedation scores and visual analog scale values at rest and at cough were noted. In case of subjective scores up to 5 cm at rest or up to 8 cm at cough, the patients were given access to a patient-controlled analgesia device that delivered epidural bupivacaine. The end point of the study was reached once the patient activated the analgesic delivery button.
Results: During surgery, 60% of patients in group 1 compared with 33% of patients in group 2 and only 5% of patients in group 3 were removed from the study protocol because of inadequate anesthesia (P < 0.05). After operation, epidural clonidine provided complete analgesia lasting 30 +/- 21 min in group 1 compared with 251 + 237 min in group 2 or 369 +/- 256 min in group 3 (P < 0.05 for group 1 vs. groups 2 and 3 and group 2 vs. group 3). 相似文献
Purpose
Atrial fibrillations are common after thoracic surgery. Amiodarone and magnesium sulfate have been used for the management of atrial fibrillation following cardiac and non-cardiac surgery. However, to our knowledge, comparisons of both drugs with each other and with a control group in relation to the prevention of AF following lung surgery have not been performed. Our primary aim in this study was to prospectively evaluate the prophylactic effects of magnesium sulfate and amiodarone used separately and compare them with a control group analyzed retrospectively during and following lobectomy surgeries.Patients and methods
The prophylactic value of amiodarone (group A; 219 patients) administered as an intravenous infusion (15 mg/kg for 48 h postoperatively) after a loading dose (5 mg/kg) was compared with magnesium sulfate (group M; 219 patients) administered intravenously as a loading dose (80 mg/kg magnesium sulfate over 30 min preoperatively) and then as an intravenous infusion (8 mg/kg/h for 48 h) in 438 patients undergoing lobectomy. These two groups were compared with a control group of 219 patients who were analyzed retrospectively.Results
The results showed significantly lower incidences of AF in groups A and M when compared with group C (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the amiodarone and magnesium sulfate groups. However, the incidence of postoperative AF was lower in the amiodarone group, where only 21 (10 %) patients developed AF in comparison to 27 (12.5 %) patients in the magnesium sulfate group. Group C showed a higher incidence, 44 (20.5 %) patients, when compared with both groups. In addition, there were significant differences between the three groups concerning intensive care unit (ICU) and total hospital stays (P < 0.05).Conclusion
Our study showed that during the intra- and postoperative periods, both amiodarone and magnesium sulfate are effective at preventing the incidence of atrial fibrillation following lung resection surgery in comparison to the control group. 相似文献Methods: In 20 patients with no evidence of mass effect undergoing transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, anesthesia was induced with intravenous fentanyl and propofol and maintained with 70% nitrous oxide in oxygen and a continuous propofol infusion, 100 [micro sign]g [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] min-1. The authors assigned patients to two groups randomized to receive only continued propofol infusion (n = 10) or sevoflurane (n = 10) for 20 min. During the 20-min study period, each patient in the sevoflurane group received, in random order, two concentrations (0.5 times the minimum alveolar concentration [MAC] and 1.0 MAC end-tidal) of sevoflurane for 10 min each. The authors continuously monitored lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure, blood pressure, heart rate, and anesthetic concentrations.
Results: Lumbar CSF pressure increased by 2 +/- 2 mmHg (mean +/- SD) with both 0.5 MAC and 1 MAC of sevoflurane. Cerebral perfusion pressure decreased by 11 +/- 5 mmHg with 0.5 MAC and by 15 +/- 4 mmHg with 1.0 MAC of sevoflurane. Systolic blood pressure decreased with both concentrations of sevoflurane. To maintain blood pressure within predetermined limits (within +/- 20% of baseline value), phenylephrine was administered to 5 of 10 patients in the sevoflurane group (range = 50-300 [micro sign]g) and no patients in the propofol group. Lumbar CSF pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, and systolic blood pressure did not change in the propofol group. 相似文献
Methods: Sixteen patients were randomly assigned to undergo a 6-h stable isotope infusion study (3 h fasted, 3 h feeding) on the second day after colorectal surgery performed with or without perioperative epidural blockade. Protein synthesis, breakdown and oxidation, glucose production, and clearance were measured by l-[1-13C]leucine and [6,6-2H2]glucose.
Results: Epidural blockade did not affect protein and glucose metabolism in the fasted state. Parenteral alimentation decreased endogenous protein breakdown and glucose production to the same extent in both groups. Administration of glucose and amino acids was associated with an increase in whole body protein synthesis that was modified by the type of analgesia, i.e., protein synthesis increased by 13% in the epidural group (from 93.3 +/- 16.6 to 104.5 +/- 11.1 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1) and by 4% in the patient-controlled analgesia group (from 90.0 +/- 27.1 to 92.9 +/- 14.8 [mu]mol [middle dot] kg-1 [middle dot] h-1;P = 0.054). 相似文献
