Objective To investigate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine-assisted topical anesthesia in patients undergoing bronchoalveolar lavage ( BAL). Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients in ICU, aged 24-64 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, scheduled for BAL, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 12 each) : topical anesthesia group (group A) , topical anesthesia + dexmedetomidine group (group B) . In group A, 0.9% normal saline 5 ml was injected intravenously 30 min before operation, 2% lidocaine 5-10 ml was given via a tracheal tube or cannula 5 min before operation and then an increment of 2% lidocaine 5 ml was given using fibreoptic bronchoscope every 15-30 min as required (the total amount was within 20 ml) . In group B, dexmedetomidine 0.5-1.0 μg/kg was injected (time of injection≥ 10 min) followed by infusion at 0.1-0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 and the topical anesthesia was performed as the method described in group A. The time of lavage, adverse reactions and adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Blood samples were taken 20 min before lavage, 20 min after the start of lavage and 20 min after the end of lavage (T1-3 ) for determination of the concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol. Results The incidences of adverse reactions and adverse cardiovascular events were significantly lower and the operation time was significantly shorter in group B than in group A ( P < 0.05). The concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol were significantly higher at T2,3 in group A, while lower at T2,3 in group B than at T1 ( P < 0.05) . The concentrations of plasma catecholamine and serum cortisol were significantly lower in group B than in group A ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-assisted topical anesthesia can be used safely and effectively in BAL.

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin on the systemic inflammatory response in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes, aged 27-44 yr, weighing 39-72 kg, scheduled for cardiac vavle replacement, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each) : control group (group C) and ulinastatin group (group U). Ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg was injected iv 10 min before CPB, and ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg was added to the priming fluid in group U. The equal volume of normal saline was given in stead of ulinastatin in group C. Venous blood samples were taken at 15 min before CPB (T1), 10 min of CPB (T2), and 30 and 60 min after termination of CPB (T3,4)for determination of the plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α. Results The plasma concentrations of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly lower and plasma IL-10 concentration was significantly higher during and after CPB in group U than in group C (P <0.05 or 0.01). The plasma concentrations of IL-6,IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α were significantly higher in beth groups at T2,3 than at T, (P < 0.01). Conclusion Ulinastatin can ameliorate the unbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses during CPB and reduce the systemic inflammatory response in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.

Comparison of two different temperature maintenance strategies during open abdominal surgery: upper body forced-air warming versus whole body water garment

BACKGROUND: A new system has been developed that circulates warm water through a whole body garment worn by the patient during surgery. In this study the authors compared two different strategies for the maintenance of intraoperative normothermia. One strategy used a new water garment warming system that permitted active warming of both the upper and lower extremities and the back. The other strategy used a single (upper body) forced-air warming system. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized study, 53 adult patients were enrolled in one of two intraoperative temperature management groups during open abdominal surgery with general anesthesia. The water-garment group (n = 25) received warming with a body temperature (rectal) set point of 36.8 degrees C. The forced-air-warmer group (n = 28) received routine warming therapy using upper body forced-air warming system (set on high). The ambient temperature in the operating room was maintained constant at approximately 20 degrees C. Rectal, distal esophageal, tympanic, forearm, and fingertip temperatures were recorded perioperatively and during 2 h after surgery. Extubated patients in both groups were assessed postoperatively for shivering, use of additional warming devices, and subjective thermal comfort. RESULTS: The mean rectal and esophageal temperatures at incision, 1 h after incision, at skin closure, and immediately postoperatively were significantly higher (0.4-0.6 degrees C) in the group that received water-garment warming when compared with the group that received upper body forced-air warming. The calculated 95% confidence intervals for the above differences in core temperatures were 0.7-0.1, 0.8-0.2, 0.8-0.2, and 0.9-0.1, retrospectively. In addition, 14 and 7% of patients in the control upper body forced-air group remained hypothermic (< 35.5 degrees C) 1 and 2 h after surgery, respectively. No core temperature less than 35.5 degrees C was observed perioperatively in any of the patients from the water-garment group. A similar frequency of the thermal stress events (shivering, use of additional warming devices, subjective thermal discomfort) was observed after extubation in both groups during the 2 h after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: The investigated water warming system, by virtue of its ability to deliver heat to a greater percentage of the body, results in better maintenance of intraoperative normothermia that does forced-air warming applied only to the upper extremities, as is common practice.

The Catecholamine, Cortisol, and Hemodynamic Responses to Mild Perioperative Hypothermia: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: Unintended hypothermia occurs frequently during surgery and may have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. Although the mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular manifestations of hypothermia are unclear, it is possible that they are sympathetically mediated. In this prospective study, relationships between body temperature, the neuroendocrine response, and hemodynamic changes in the perioperative period were examined.

Methods: Seventy-four elderly patients, undergoing abdominal, thoracic, or lower extremity vascular surgical procedures, were randomly assigned to either "routine care" (n = 37) or "forced-air warming" (n = 37) groups. Throughout the intraoperative and early postoperative periods, the routine care group received standard thermal care, and the forced-air warming group received forced-air skin-surface warming. Core temperature, forearm minus fingertip skin-surface temperature gradient, and plasma concentrations of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol were measured throughout the perioperative period, and the two groups were compared. In addition, heart rate and arterial blood pressure were compared between groups.

Results: The routine care and forced-air warming groups did not differ with regard to age, sex, type of surgical procedures, anesthetic techniques, or postoperative analgesia. Mean core temperature was lower in the routine care group on admission to the postanesthetic care unit (routine care, 35.3 plus/minus 0.1 degree Celsius; forced-air warming, 36.7 plus/minus 0.1 degree Celsius; P = 0.0001) and remained lower during the early postoperative period. Forearm minus fingertip skin-surface temperature gradient (an index of peripheral vasoconstriction) was greater in the routine care group in the early postoperative period. The mean norepinephrine concentration (pcg/ml) was greater in the routine care group immediately after surgery (480 plus/minus 70 vs. 330 plus/minus 30, P = 0.02) and at 60 min (530 plus/minus 50 vs. 340 plus/minus 30, P = 0.002) and 180 min (500 plus/minus 80 vs. 320 plus/minus 30, P = 0.004) postoperatively. Mean epinephrine concentrations were not significantly different between groups. Mean cortisol concentrations were increased in both groups during the early postoperative period (P < 0.01), but the differences between groups were not significant. Systolic, mean, and diastolic arterial blood pressures were significantly higher in the routine care group.

An evaluation of underbody forced-air and resistive heating during hypothermic, on-pump cardiac surgery

We conducted a randomised controlled trial to compare the efficacy of underbody forced-air warming (Arizant Healthcare Inc, Eden Prairie, MN, USA) with an underbody resistive heating mattress (Inditherm Patient Warming System, Rotherham, UK) and passive insulation in 129 patients having hypothermic cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients were separated from cardiopulmonary bypass at a core temperature of 35 °C and external warming continued until the end of surgery. Before cardiopulmonary bypass, the temperature-vs-time slopes were significantly greater in both active warming groups than in the passive insulation group (p < 0.001 for each). However, the slopes of forced-air and resistive warming did not differ (p = 0.55). After cardiopulmonary bypass, the rate of rewarming was significantly greater with forced-air than with resistive warming or passive insulation (p < 0.001 for each), while resistive warming did not differ from passive insulation (p = 0.14). However, absolute temperature differences among the groups were small.     

Efficacy of postoperative rewarming after cardiac surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of forced-air warmers and radiant heaters on rewarming after cardiac surgery in a prospective randomized study. METHODS: Fifty male patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery were studied. The control group (Gr. C, n=10) was nursed under a standard hospital blanket. Two groups were treated with forced-air warmers: WarmTouch 5700 (Gr. WT, n=10) and Bair Hugger 500 (Gr. BH, n=10). Two other groups were treated by radiant heaters: the Aragona Thermal Ceilings CTC X radiant heater (Gr. TC, n=10) and a self assembled radiant heater of 4 Hydrosun 500 infrared lamps (Gr. HY, n=10). Changes of oesophageal temperature, mean skin temperature, mean body temperature and relative heat balance were calculated from oesophageal temperature, 4 skin temperatures and oxygen consumption (VO(2)). RESULTS: All actively treated groups with exception of the TC group showed significantly faster oesophageal warming than the control group. The mean body temperature increased 1.1 (0.7-1.7) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. WT, 1.3 (0.7-1.5) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. BH, 0.8 (0.5-1.4) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. TC and 0.7 (0.4-1.0) degrees Ch(-1) in Gr. HY compared to Gr. C with 0.4 (0.2-0.7) degrees Ch(-1). The mean VO(2) and the maxima of the VO(2) during the study period did not differ significantly between the groups. CONCLUSION: In the current setting active warming, forced-air warming more than radiant warming, increased speed of rewarming two- to threefold in comparison to insulation with a blanket.     

A randomised controlled trial of the electric heating pad vs forced-air warming for preventing hypothermia during laparotomy

A randomised controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of upper body forced-air warming (Bair Hugger, Augustine Medical model 500/OR, Prairie, MN) with that of an electric heating pad (Operatherm 202, KanMed, Bromma, Sweden) for maintenance of intra-operative body temperature in 60 patients undergoing laparotomy under general anaesthesia. The nasopharyngeal temperature was recorded throughout the operative period. The mean (SD) final temperatures were 36.2 (0.4) degrees C with forced-air warming and 35.5 (1.0) degrees C with electric heating pad (p < 0.01). Upper body forced-air warming is more effective than the heating pad for maintenance of body temperature during laparotomy.
