Abstract Background Sevoflurane is suitable for low-flow anesthesia (LFA). LFA needs a wash-in phase. The reported sevoflurane wash-in schemes lack simplicity, target coverage, and applicability. We proposed a one-step 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA to be used with both N 2 O and Air. The objective of our study was to identify time for achieving each level of alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (F A S) from 1% to 3.5% in both contexts. Methods We recruited 199 adults requiring general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation and controlled ventilation—102 in group N 2 O and 97 in group Air. After induction and intubation, a wash-in was started using a fresh gas flow of O 2 :N 2 O or O 2 :Air at 1:1 L·min -1 plus sevoflurane 8%. The ventilation was controlled to maintain end-tidal CO 2 of 30-35 mmHg. Results The rising patterns of F A S and inspired concentration of sevoflurane (F I S) are similar, running parallel between the groups. The F A S/F I S ratio increased from 0.46 to 0.72 within 260 sec in group N 2 O and from 0.42 to 0.69 within 286 sec in group Air. The respective time to achieve an F A S of 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5% was 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min in group N 2 O and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min in group Air. The heart rate and blood pressure of both groups significantly increased initially then gradually decreased as F A S increased. Conclusions The 1-1-8 wash-in scheme for sevoflurane LFA has many advantages, including simplicity, coverage, swiftness, safety, economy, and that it can be used with both N 2 O and Air. A respective F A S of 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, and 3.5% when used with N 2 O and Air can be expected at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 3.5, and 4.5 min and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 5 min.

Background. We propose a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) low-flow anesthesia. The objective of our study was to determine the time to achieve alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6%.Methods. We enrolled 106 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas flow (FGF) of N2O : O21 : 1 L min−1and vaporizer concentration of desflurane (FD) of 12%. Ventilation was controlled to maintainPACO2at 30–35 mmHg.Results. TheFADrose rapidly from 0 to 4% in 2 min in a linear manner in 0.5 min increments. AnFADof 6% was achieved in 4 min in a linear fashion fromFADof 4% but in 1 min increments. AnFADof 1 to 6% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 min. Heart rate during wash-in showed a statistically, albeit not clinically, significant pattern of increase. By contrast, blood pressure slightly decreased during this period.Conclusions. We developed a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme using a FGF of N2O : O21 : 1 L min−1and FD of 12% for desflurane-nitrous oxide low-flow anesthesia. A respectiveFADof 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 min.

The Relationship

Background and Objectives: Phase lag entropy, an electroencephalographic monitor, evaluates the variety in temporal patterns of phase relationship between frontal and prefrontal brain region. Phase lag entropy can reflect the depth of anesthesia induced by propofol, but the association between sevoflurane and phase lag entropy has not been elucidated. This study examined the effect of sevoflurane on phase lag entropy during induction of general anesthesia. We also explored the pharmacodynamic model between end-tidal anesthetic concentration and electroencephalographic monitor. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 patients were enrolled. General anesthesia was produced by escalating the sevoflurane (1 vol% up to 8 vol%). The relationship between phase lag entropy and end-tidal anesthetic concentration was analyzed. A non-linear mixed-effects model was used to get the relationship of pharmacodynamics between the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration and phase lag entropy. Mean blood pressure, heart rate, and the modified observer’s assessment of alertness/sedation scale were also recorded during sevoflurane anesthesia. Results: As level of sedation increased, phase lag entropy decreased. A significant correlation was showed between phase lag entropy and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration (r = −0.759, p < 0.001). The correlation coefficient between the modified observer’s assessment of alertness/sedation scale and phase lag entropy was 0.731 (p < 0.001). The pharmacodynamic factors assessed by the sigmoid Emax model were E0 = 84.9, Emax = 42, Ce50 = 1.81, γ = 4.78, and ke0 = 0.692. The prediction probability of phase-lag entropy for measuring the modified observer’s assessment of alertness/sedation scale and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration were 0.764 and 0.789, respectively. With the increasing concentration of sevoflurane, mean blood pressure decreased, but heart rate did not change. Conclusions: The continuing escalation in end-tidal sevoflurane concentration caused a decline in phase lag entropy. Phase lag entropy can serve as an indicator of hypnotic depth in patients receiving sevoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract Background Endotracheal intubation and extubation may cause undesirable hemodynamic changes. Intravenous oxycodone has recently been introduced and used for relieving hemodynamic alterations in response to intubation, but there is insufficient information regarding its application in stabilizing hemodynamics during extubation in the patients emerging from general anesthesia. Methods One hundred patients, who had undergone assorted laparoscopic surgeries under general anesthesia, were randomly assigned to Control group (saline injection, 50 cases) and Study group (intravenous injection of 0.08 mg/kg oxycodone immediately after completion of the surgical procedure, 50 cases). Blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) as well as blood concentrations of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol were recorded or measured immediately before extubation (T0), during extubation (T1), as well as one minute (T2), 5 min (T3), and 10 min after extubation (T4). In addition, coughing and restlessness, time of eye-opening, and duration from completing surgery to extubation as well as Ramsay Sedation Scale were analyzed. Results Blood pressure and heart rate as well as blood concentrations of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and cortisol were significantly higher in the Control group compared with the Study group at the time of extubation as well as 1, 5, and 10 min after extubation (P < 0.05). When the patients emerged from general anesthesia, 70 % of the Control group had cough, which was significantly higher than that of Study group (40 %, P < 0.05). Significantly higher number of patients manifested restlessness in the Control group before (40 %) and after extubation (20 %) compared with that in the Study group (20 and 2 %, respectively, P < 0.05). In addition, patients of Control group had lower Ramsay score at extubation (1.7 ± 0.7) as well as 30 min after extubation (2.4 ± 0.9) compared to that of the patients of Study group (2.2 ± 0.9, and 3.0 ± 0.8, respectively, P = 0.003 and 0.001). Conclusions Intravenous oxycodone attenuated alterations of hemodynamics and blood hormones associated with extubation during emergence from general anesthesia.

In six normal supine subjects epinephrine infusion produced a greater leukocytosis with smaller changes in heart rate and blood pressure than did norepinephrine or isoproterenol. Upright exercise in those subjects produced a greater leukocytosis than supine exercise at the same work load. To determine the lung's participation in these events, indium-labeled neutrophils (PMN) were given to four of the subjects. We found that 20–25% were retained in the first pass through the lung when compared with technetium-labeled erythrocytes. The number of labeled PMN in the lung gradually decreased and the number in the spleen and the liver increased. Exercise and catecholamine infusion caused an acceleration in the release of labeled cells from the lung, an increase in both labeled and unlabeled cells in the peripheral blood, and an increase in the number of labeled cells in the liver and spleen. This suggests that increased perfusion of low-flow areas in the lung may contribute to the increased leukocytosis seen in association with both exercise and catecholamine infusion.

Background Sevoflurane anesthesia is usually performed with fresh gas flow rates greater than 2 l/min due to the toxicity of compound A in rats and limited clinical experience with sevoflurane in low-flow systems. However, to reduce costs, it would be useful to identify ways to reduce compound A concentrations in low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia. This goal of this study was to determine if compound A concentrations can be reduced by using soda lime with water added. Methods Low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia (fresh gas flow of 1 l/min) was performed in 37 patients using soda lime with water added (perhydrated soda lime) or standard soda lime as the carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbent. The soda lime was not changed between patients, but rather was used until CO2 rebreathing occurred. The perhydrated soda lime was prepared by spraying 100 ml distilled water onto 1 kg fresh soda lime, and water was added only when a new bag of soda lime was placed into the canister. Compound A concentrations in the circle system, soda lime temperatures, inspired and end-tidal CO2 and end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, and CO2 elimination by the patient were measured during anesthesia. Results Compound A concentrations were significantly lower for the perhydrated soda lime (1.9 +/- 1.8 ppm; means +/- SD) than for the standard soda lime (13.9 +/- 8.2 ppm). No differences were seen between the two types of soda lime with regard to the temperature of the soda lime, end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations, or CO2 elimination. Compound A concentration decreased with the total time of soda lime use for both types of soda lime. The CO2 absorption capacity was significantly less for perhydrated soda lime than for standard soda lime. Conclusions Compound A concentrations in the circuit can be reduced by using soda lime with water added. The CO2 absorption capacity of the soda lime is reduced by adding water to it, but this should not be clinically significant.

The effect of fresh gas flow (FGF) on isoflurane concentrations at given vaporizer settings during low-flow anaesthesia was investigated. Ninety patients (American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status I or II) were randomly allocated to three groups (FGF 1 l/min, FGF 2 l/min and FGF 4 l/min). Anaesthesia was maintained for 10 min with vaporizer setting isoflurane 2 vol% and FGF 4 l/min for full-tissue anaesthetic uptake in a semi-closed circle system. Low-flow anaesthesia was maintained for 20 min with end-tidal isoflurane 1.5 vol% and FGF 2 l/min. FGF was then changed to FGF 1 l/min, FGF 2 l/min or FGF 4 l/min. Measurements during the 20-min period showed that inspired and end-tidal isoflurane concentrations decreased in the FGF 1-l/min group but increased in the FGF 4-l/min group compared with baseline values. No haemodynamic changes were observed. Monitoring of anaesthetic concentrations and appropriate control of vaporizer settings are necessary during low-flow anaesthesia.
