Immotile cilia syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by ciliary dysfunction and decreased mucociliary clearance. This ciliary function is a mechanism whose primary pulmonary defense alteration can be a problem during inhalational anesthesia, as these cause decreased ciliary movement. However during total intravenous anesthesia this normal ciliary movement can be preserved using remifentanil and propofol. A case of immotile cilia syndrome was handled with complete intravenous anesthesia for surgery protocol type ovarian handling post-operative pain epidural catheter is presented.

Background Bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) may increase complications and negatively effect the surgery and its outcome. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical field in patients in whom total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is used as opposed to inhalation anesthesia. A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed. Methods Fifty-six patients undergoing ESS were randomly assigned to receive either inhaled sevoflurane with incremental doses offentanyl (n = 28) or TIVA via a propofol and remifentanil infusion (n = 28) for their general anesthesia. The surgical field was graded every 15 minutes using a validated scoring system. Results The two groups were matched for surgical procedure and computed tomography scores. Patients in the TIVA group were found to have a significantly lower surgical grade score than in the sevoflurane group (p < 0.001). Surgical grade score increased with time in both groups. Mean arterial pressure and pulse were found to influence the surgical field independently (p = 0.003 and p = 0.036 respectively). Mean surgical field grade scores were higher in the patients with allergic fungal sinusitis and nasal polyposis as opposed to chronic rhinosinusitis without polyps or fungus. Lund-Mackay computed tomography scores were found to correlate positively with surgical grade (Spearman rank correlation, p = 0.001). Conclusion In patients undergoing ESS, TIVA results in a better surgical field than inhalational anesthesia.

Abstract Background: The widespread use of total knee arthroplasty(TKA) to treat patients who suffer knee osteoarthritis(KOA) has led to a number of postoperative problems, including the recovery of postoperative quality of life and postoperative delirium(POD). Both problems could cause profound damages to patients and their families. This study assessed and compared the effects of total intravenous anesthesia with propofol versus inhalational anesthesia (sevoflurane) on postoperative quality of life and POD in patients who underwent TKA.Methods: One hundred and fifty patients American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) I-III were assessed for inclusion in this study, and randomly divided into inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane group(group S), and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol group(group P). The primary outcome was postoperative quality of life and secondary outcome was POD.Results: The quality of life at the first month after surgery in group S was better than that in group P(P=0.02). However, there was no significant difference in quality of life between the two groups at 1 day before surgery, 1 day after surgery, 3 days after surgery, 7 days after surgery and 3 months after surgery. In group P, 19 patients (31.1%) had no anxiety/depression problems, 40 patients (65.6%) had moderate problems, and 2 patients (3.3%) had severe problems.In group S, 37 patients (60.6%) had no problems in anxiety/depression, 23 patients (37.7%) had moderate problems, and 1 patient had severe problems (1.7%). These two outcomes had significant differences (P=0.005) .The incidence of POD within 3 days after surgery was 24.6% (15/61) in group P and 36.1% (22/61) in group S. There was no significant difference in the incidence of POD between the two groups (P=0.17).Conclusions: Group S patients have a better quality of life at the first month after surgery in comparison with those in group P regarding anxiety/depression. However, there were no significant differences in the quality of lives between the two groups at 1 day before surgery, 1 day after surgery, 3 days after surgery, 7 days after surgery, and 3 months after surgery. There was also no significant difference in POD. Thus, we concluded that both anesthetic technologies could be extensively used for TKA.Trial registration: This trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCRT-IOR-17012428).
