Objective This study was performed compare the effectiveness of oxycodone and fentanyl in reducing the incidence and severity of etomidate-induced myoclonus. Methods In total, 162 patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status of I or II were assigned at random to three groups. Patients assigned to Group O received 0.1 mg/kg of oxycodone (n = 54), those assigned to Group F were given 1 µg/kg of fentanyl (n = 54), and those assigned to Group S were given an equal volume of saline intravenously 2 minutes prior to administration of 0.3 mg/kg of etomidate (n = 54). The incidence and severity of myoclonus was evaluated 2 minutes after etomidate administration. The patients’ vital signs, coughing, nausea, dizziness, and other related adverse reactions were also recorded. Results The incidence of myoclonus was significantly lower in Group O (0.0%) than in Group F (31.5%) and Group S (72.2%); the intensity was also lowest in Group O. All patients in each group had stable cardiovascular profiles. Conclusions Intravenous injection of 0.1 mg/kg of oxycodone 2 minutes prior to etomidate is more effective in preventing etomidate-induced myoclonus during general anesthesia than is 1 µg/kg of fentanyl.

Abstract Background : the outcome of ketofol on the hemodynamics and the airway response during induction of general anesthesia has been studied before. Its effect on the smoothness of extubation has not been studied before. So, we aimed to assess the effect of ketofol on the smoothness of extubation and compare it with propofol only for the induction of general anesthesia. Methods: This double-blind, randomized, and controlled study was conducted on one hundred and six American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical status ''ASA PS'' class I and II female patients aged 18-40 years old and scheduled for laparoscopic drilling for polycystic ovary disease under general anesthesia. The patients were assigned into one of two groups (53) patients each; group KP = ketofol and group P = propofol. Results: There was a good sedation score during suction and extubation in the ketofol group. Airway response and smoothness of extubation were better in the ketofol more than the propofol group. Conclusion: Ketofol as an induction anesthetic agent was effective in attenuating the airway response during extubation more than profofol only. Trial registration: This trial was retrospectively registered at the Clinical Trial.gov with the Identification Number: NCT04365686.

Background: Ketofol's effect on hemodynamics and the airway response during inducing general anesthesia has been studied previously. However, ketofol's effect on the smoothness of extubation has not been studied yet. Objectives: We aimed to assess ketofol’s effect on the smoothness of extubation and compare it with propofol for inducing general anesthesia. Methods: This double-blind, randomized, and controlled study was conducted on 106 class I and II female patients with the “American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASAPS),” aged 18 - 40 years, scheduled for laparoscopic drilling for polycystic ovary disease under general anesthesia. The patients were assigned to two groups of 53 patients each: Group KP = ketofol and Group P = propofol. Results: There was an excellent sedation score during suction and extubation in the ketofol group. The airway response and smoothness of extubation were better in the ketofol group than in the propofol group. Conclusions: Ketofol as an induction anesthetic agent more effectively attenuated the airway response during extubation than only propofol.

Introduction: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) have been termed as the “big little problem” for anesthesiology during laparoscopic surgery. Pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting are the most common causes of morbidity after anesthesia and surgery. We aimed to evaluate the effects of Ondansetron and Dexamethasone in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as well as to note any pharmacological side effects that occurred after their usage. Methods: In this prospective, randomized, double blind controlled study, trial was done after approval from the IRB and trail registry, 60 female patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, aged 18 to 65 years, weighing 50-60 kg, and standing 150 to 160 cm, were given institutional ethical committee clearance and written informed consent before undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (duration 90 minutes) under general anesthesia. Patients arriving in the operating room were sorted into two groups of 30 patients each. All patients were monitored after surgery, documenting vital signs and any difficulties that arose. For the first 12 hours after surgery, all bouts of PONV (nausea, vomiting, and retching) were documented. Each patient's data was gathered and tallied. Results: The patients in the study group were similar in age, weight, height, ASA status, and operation duration (p 0.05), and there was no significant statistical difference between the data gathered throughout the study Conclusions: Ondansetron is just as effective as Dexamethasone at lowering nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and it comes with less adverse effects.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the arterial to end-tidal partial pressure gradient of carbon dioxide according to age in the supine position during general anesthesia. Methods. From January 2001 to December 2013, we evaluated 596 patients aged ≥16 years who underwent general anesthesia in the supine position. The anesthetic charts of these 596 patients, all classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II, were retrospectively reviewed to investigate the accuracy of PaCO2 and ETCO2. Results. The a-ETCO2 was 3.0 ± 2.1 mmHg for patients aged 16 to <65 years and 4.1±3.1 mmHg for patients ≥65 years. The a-ETCO2 was 2.4±3.1 mmHg for patients aged 16 to 25 years, 3.1±2.2 mmHg for patients aged 26 to 35 years, 3.0±2.2 mmHg for patients aged 36 to 45 years, 3.4±2.0 mmHg for patients aged 46 to 55 years, 3.2±2.0 mmHg for patients aged 56 to 64 years, 4.3±3.2 mmHg for patients aged 65 to 74 years, and 3.7±2.8 mmHg for patients aged 75 to 84 years. Conclusion. The arterial to end-tidal partial pressure gradient of carbon dioxide tended to increase with increasing age.

Background Although it has been suggested that the dilution of 5% hyperbaric lidocaine before injection for spinal anesthesia may decrease the incidence of transient neurologic symptoms, previous studies have not noted a decreased incidence between 5% and 2% lidocaine. The aim of the current study was to determine whether the incidence of transient neurologic symptoms could be altered by further diluting spinal lidocaine from 2.0% to 0.5%. Methods One hundred nine patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2 undergoing outpatient knee arthroscopy were randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive 50 mg hyperbaric spinal lidocaine as a 2.0%, 1.0%, or 0.5% concentration. On the third postoperative day, patients were contacted by a blinded investigator and questioned regarding the incidence of postoperative complications, including transient neurologic symptoms, defined as pain or dysthesia in one or both buttocks or legs occurring within 24 h of surgery. Results The incidence of transient neurologic symptoms did not differ among patients receiving 2.0% (incidence of 15.8%), 1.0% (incidence of 22.2%), and 0.5% (incidence of 17.1%) lidocaine (P = 0.756). Conclusions For ambulatory patients undergoing arthroscopy, the incidence of transient neurologic symptoms is not reduced by decreasing spinal lidocaine concentrations from 2.0% to 1.0% or 0.5%. The incidences of transient neurologic symptoms with the 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0% solutions are similar to previously reported incidences for 5.0% lidocaine, suggesting that dilution of lidocaine from 5.0% to 0.5% does not change the incidence of these symptoms.

The study was designed to understand the effects of oxycodone hydrochloride and sufentanil used in painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy. A total of 90 patients aged 3–84 years undergoing painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy were selected, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA): I–III criteria—the equal number of subjects were randomly divided into sufentanil group (group A) and oxycodone hydrochloride group (group B). The vital signs, surgical examination and anesthesia, the effect of anesthesia, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups during the operation. The change of heart rate and changes of hemodynamics in group B were found to be lower than in group A. The number of breaths was significantly lower than group B. The decrease of SpO2 in group A was higher than in group B. Cases of SpO2 <90% was higher in group A than in group B. The dosage of propofol and the recovery time in group A was significantly higher than in group B. The incidence of nausea and vomiting in group A was higher than in group B. Oxycodone hydrochloride combined with propofol used in painless fiberoptic bronchoscopy could improve the safety and efficiency of analgesia compared to sufentanil combined with propofol. The effect was found to have stable hemodynamics and fewer adverse reactions.
