Abstract Background: Dental procedures under general anesthesia (DGA) was found to improve the oral health-related quality of children's life. However, some parents and pediatricians expressed concern about the neurotoxicity of general anesthesia. The purpose of this trial was to investigate whether DGA in children has an adverse effect on neurodevelopment.Methods: In this prospective, assessor-masked, controlled, equivalence trial, we recruited 340 children younger than 7 years who were undergoing caries treatment between Feb 1, 2019, and Aug 31, 2019, without factors affecting neurodevelopment. They received either sevoflurane-based general anesthesia or awake-local anesthesia. The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Fourth Edition was used to evaluate the neurodevelopment of children at six months after surgery, and the Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ) was selected as the primary outcome. Predefine the 95% CI of a difference in means within five (1/3 SD) as the equivalence margin.Results: The outcome data were obtained from 129 children in the general anesthesia group and 144 in the local anesthesia group. The median length of general anesthesia was 130 min (IQR 110 – 160). There was equivalence in means of FSIQ score between the general anesthesia group and the local anesthesia group (local minus general anesthesia 0.46, 95% CI -2.35 to 1.61). There was no significant difference in FSIQ scores between different age groups and different anesthesia durations. Only the mother's education could affect the primary outcome.Conclusions: In this trial, prolonged DGA with a sevoflurane-only anesthetic in preschool children, does not adversely affect neurodevelopment at six months after surgery compared with awake-local anesthesia.

Abstract Background Dental procedures under general anesthesia (DGA) was found to improve the oral health-related quality of children’s life. However, some parents and pediatricians expressed concern about the neurotoxicity of general anesthesia. The purpose of this trial was to whether DGA in children has an adverse effect on neurocognition. Methods In this prospective, assessor-masked, controlled, equivalence trial, we recruited 340 children younger than 7 years who were undergoing caries treatment between Feb 1, 2019, and Aug 31, 2019, without factors affecting neurodevelopment. They received either sevoflurane-based general anesthesia or awake-local anesthesia. The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Fourth Edition was used to evaluate the neurocognitive function of children at 6 months after surgery, and the Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ) was selected as the primary outcome. The predefined clinical equivalence margin was 5 (1/3 SD of FSIQ score). If the 95% CI of the difference between the average FSIQ score of the two groups is within − 5 to + 5, then the two groups are equivalent. Results The outcome data were obtained from 129 children in the general anesthesia group and 144 in the local anesthesia group. The median length of general anesthesia was 130 min (IQR 110–160). The mean FSIQ score in the general anesthesia group was 103·12 (SD 8.94), and the mean of the local anesthesia group was 103·58 (SD 8.40). There was equivalence in means of FSIQ score between the two groups (local minus general anesthesia 0.46, 95% CI − 2.35 to 1.61). There was no significant difference in FSIQ scores between different age groups and different anesthesia durations. Only the mother’s education could affect the primary outcome. Conclusions In this trial, prolonged DGA with a sevoflurane-only anesthetic in preschool children, does not adversely affect neurocognitive function at 6 months after surgery compared with awake-local anesthesia.

Abstract Background Surgeons believe that the advantage of PKP under local anesthesia for the treatment of OVF in preventing interference with the general situation of elderly patients with multiple organ dysfunction. Surgeons can directly assess whether a spinal cord nerve injury occurs while the patient is awake. However, when patients with m-OVFs receive local anesthesia, fluoroscopy time often has to be increased,the operative time has to be extended, or the operation has to be terminated because of body posture-related discomfort, the toxic reaction of bone cement, and abrupt fluctuation of vital signs. No relevant study has thus far been conducted on the choice of the type of anesthesia to administer to patients undergoing PKP for m-OVFs.This study aimed to determine which of the two types of anesthesia is more suitable for PKP for m-OVFs. Methods A retrospective study was conducted for 159 patients who underwent PKP for m-OVFs from January 2016 to January 2020; 81 patients underwent PKP under general anesthesia(Group G), and 78 patients underwent PKP under local anesthesia(Group L). Clinical and adverse events were compared between the two groups. Results No difference in baseline information was found between the two groups. The intraoperative mean arterial pressure, average heart rate, average fluoroscopy times of each vertebral body, and operative time were less in Group G than in Group L. The VAS score was significantly lower than that before operation. The AVH, MVH, and the KA were significantly improved in both groups postoperation. The improvement in VAS score, AVH, MVH, and KA in Group G were higher than those in Group L. No significant difference in the incidence of complications was observed between the two groups. Conclusion PKP under either general anesthesia or local anesthesia was reliable. Compared with PKP under local anesthesia, that under general anesthesia could more reliably maintain the stability of vital signs, alleviate preoperative pain in patients, and attain a better orthopedic effect. Moreover, the latter does not increase the complications of patients with m-OVFs. However, the high medical expense of PKP under general anesthesia is a factor to consider when choosing the type of anesthesia.

Objective: To evaluate the anxiety experienced before, during and after conventional paraffin gauze nasal pack removal in patients operated under local versus general anesthesia. Study design: Comparative study. Place and duration of study: Department of ENT, Combined Military Hospital Sialkot and PAF Hospital Shorkot from July 2017 to June 2018. Material and methods: A total of 120 patients planned for Septoplasty were enrolled and divided into two groups. Sixty patients were to be operated under local anesthesia (Group A) while the other 60 were undergoing the same procedure under general anesthesia (Group B). Conventional paraffin gauze nasal packing was done for 24 hours in all 120 patients. Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) was used to determine the patients’ anxiety in both groups, 1 hour pre-operatively, immediately before and 1 hour after nasal pack removal. Results: The mean Hamilton Anxiety Scale assessment scores in both groups were of ‘mild’ category. The highest scores in both groups were observed immediately before nasal pack removal, with a range of 15-18, while the lowest scores in both groups were documented one hour after pack removal with a range of 13-16. Anxiety level in patients operated under general anesthesia was slightly lower than patients administered local anesthesia mean score of 16.40 ± 0.763 vs 17.21 ± 0.666 (p<0.001). Conclusion: Anxiety during nasal pack removal is mainly associated with prior pain experienced during nasal pack insertion. It is recommended that proper analgesia, adequate topical anesthesia, gentle insertion would make this process less distressing and will subsequently result in less anxiety at its removal.

Delirium is the most common postsurgical neurological complication and has a variable incidence rate. Laparoscopic surgery, when associated with the Trendelenburg position, can cause innumerable physiological changes and increase the risk of neurocognitive changes. The association of general anesthesia with a spinal block allows the use of lower doses of anesthetic agents for anesthesia maintenance and facilitates better control over postoperative pain. Our primary outcome was to assess whether a spinal block influences the incidence of delirium in oncologic patients following laparoscopic surgery in the Trendelenburg position. Our secondary outcome was to analyze whether there were other associated factors. A total of 150 oncologic patients who underwent elective laparoscopic surgeries in the Trendelenburg position were included in this randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomized into 2 groups: the general anesthesia group and the general anesthesia plus spinal block group. Patients were immediately evaluated during the postoperative period and monitored until they were discharged, to rule out the presence of delirium. Delirium occurred in 29 patients in total (22.3%) (general anesthesia group: 30.8%; general anesthesia plus spinal block: 13.8% p = 0.035). Patients who received general anesthesia had a higher risk of delirium than patients who received general anesthesia associated with a spinal block (odds ratio = 3.4; 95% confidence interval: 1.2–9.6; p = 0.020). Spinal block was associated with reduced delirium incidence in oncologic patients who underwent elective laparoscopic surgeries in the Trendelenburg position.

Background: Tissue damage caused by major surgery, such as cesarean section, may lead to a poor host immune response and excessive release of cytokines. These responses may increase the risk of infection, cause postoperative pain, and exert damaging effects on various body organs. Objectives: Anesthesia methods may affect cytokine production after surgery. This study aimed to compare the serum levels of cytokines in general and spinal anesthesia among women undergoing cesarean section. Methods: Thirty parturients (ASA class I and II) undergoing cesarean section were randomly assigned into two equal groups of spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia. Blood samples were taken for measuring the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) before induction of anesthesia and 30 minutes after entering the recovery room. Results: In the general anesthesia group, the postoperative serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher than the corresponding preoperative levels. Significant differences were found between the two groups in the preoperative and postoperative levels of TNF-α. Changes in the IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations were significantly higher in the general anesthesia group as compared to the spinal anesthesia group. However, there was no significant difference in the IL-6:IL-10 and TNF-α: IL-10 ratios between the two groups. Conclusions: General anesthesia, as compared to spinal anesthesia, significantly increased the IL-6 and TNF-α levels after cesarean section. Therefore, the spinal anesthesia technique may be a better option for patients undergoing cesarean section.

Extremity Reconstruction

Background Regional anesthesia (RA) may help to circumvent the well-documented risks associated with general anesthesia, increase patient comfort and satisfaction, and mitigate costs. This study aims to investigate the utility of RA in extremity reconstruction. Methods The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all cases of extremity reconstruction including muscle, myocutaneous, or fasciocutaneous flaps from 2005 to 2016. Two groups were created based on anesthesia technique, regional/epidural and general. Postoperative complications included reoperation, readmission, and wound complications. Propensity score matching was utilized to control for variation in sample size, significant comorbidities, and demographics in the analysis of complications. Results A total of 2,874 cases were identified with general anesthesia utilized in 2,820 cases and RA in the remaining 54. After propensity score matching, 53 cases were identified in each group. In both unmatched and matched cohorts, there was no statistically significant difference in the rates of reoperation, readmission, or wound complication rates. In the matched cohort, mean operative time in the RA cohort was significantly shorter, 157.64 (±112.36) minutes compared with 293.06 minutes (±201.35 minutes) in the general anesthesia group (p < 0.001). While no statistically significant difference was detected in mean length of stay (LOS) between the two groups, the RA group experienced a clinically significant shorter LOS of 5.77 days (±5.87 days) compared with 7.02 (±5.61) days in the general anesthesia group (p = 0.269). Conclusion RA may be a safe, reasonable alternative to general anesthesia in extremity reconstruction without increase in postoperative complications. Additionally, RA use is associated with a significant reduction in operative time, potentially leading to shorter and safer procedures without compromising outcomes.

Abstract Background: To observe the effect about pretreatment of ketorolac tromethamine on sufentanil-induced cough in general anesthesia patients. Methods: 102 patients were screened, and a total of 90 patients were scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. 90 patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group（C group）and the observation group（KT group）. 5 minutes before anesthesia induction, observation group were given ketorolac tromethamine 0.5mg/kg intravenously within 3 s, while the control group were given the same amount of normal saline intravenously. All patients were given a sufentanil bolus of 0.5 ug/kg（within 3 s）intravenously,1 minute later, propofol 2.5mg/kg, vecuronium 0.15mg/kg were injected intravenously, and endotracheal intubation was guided by laryngoscope. The number of coughs that occurred within 1 min after sufentanil injection were recorded. The mean arterial pressure (MAP)，heart rate (HR) and pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2) were recorded at T0 (immediately before pretreatment), T1 (5 minutes after pretreatment), T2（before intubation），T3 (1 min after intubation) and T4 (5 min after intubation).The incidence of adverse reactions were analyzed. Results: Within 1 min after sufentanil injection, the incidence and severity of cough in KT group was significantly lower than that in C group ( P < 0.05). At the time points of T0, T1, T2, T3 and T4, there was no significant difference in MAP, HR and SpO2 between the two groups ( P > 0.05). And there was no significant difference in the dosage of sufentanil, propofol, remifentanil and vecuronium, incidence of nausea and vomiting, delay of recovery, dizziness, drowsiness and respiratory depression between the two groups( P > 0.05). However, there were significant differences in the number of restlessness during waking period ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: Pretreatment of intravenous ketorolac tromethamine can significantly reduce the incidence of sufentanil-induced cough during induction period of general anesthesia patients, and can also significantly reduce the restlessness during recovery period of patients.

Background Studies of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke have identified general anesthesia as a predictor for poor outcome in comparison with local anesthesia/sedation. This retrospective study attempts to identify modifiable factors associated with poor outcome, while adjusting for baseline stroke severity, in patients receiving general anesthesia. Methods We reviewed charts of 129 patients treated between January 2003 and September 2009. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Score of 0-2 for 3 months poststroke. Predictors of neurologic outcome included baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, blood glucose concentration, and age. Additional risk factors evaluated were prolonged stroke onset-treatment interval and systolic blood pressure less than 140 mmHg. Choice of local anesthesia or general anesthesia was recorded. Results The study group was 96 out of 129 patients for whom modified Rankin Scale scores were available; 48 patients received general anesthesia and 48 local anesthesia. The proportion of patients with "good" outcomes were 15% and 60% in the general anesthesia group and local anesthesia group, respectively (P &lt; 0.001). Lowest systolic blood pressure and general anesthesia were correlated (r = -0.7, P &lt; 0.001). Independent predictors for good neurologic outcome were local anesthesia, systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mmHg, and low baseline stroke scores. Conclusions Adjusted for stroke severity, patients who received general anesthesia for treatment are less likely to have a good outcome than those managed with local anesthesia. This may be due to preintervention risk not included in the stroke severity measures. Hypotension, more frequent in the general anesthesia patients, may also contribute.
