Objective:To study on the effect of ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve (TPVB) block on quality of recovery from general anesthesia in tuberculosis patients with fiberboard exfoliation in post anesthesia recovery unit (PACU).Methods:From May 2018 to December 2019, 40 tuberculosis patients in Changsha Central Hospital with pulmonary fibreboard exfoliation and focal abscess lesions cleaning were randomly divided into two groups, with 20 patients in each group. The patients in group A received endobronchial general anesthesia and in group B received ultrasound-guided TPVB combined with endobronchial general anesthesia. Patients in the two groups were maintained under anesthesia by propofol, and the bispectral index (BIS) was maintained within the range of 40-50. The dosage of propofol and sufentanil was adjusted according to changes in BIS and hemodynamics. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) in two groups of patients were recorded at before anesthesia induction (T 0), before cutting leather (T 1), cut skin after (T 2), the end of operation (T 3), extubation time (T 4), and T 5 (time of leaving PACU). The visual analogue scale (VAS) of all patients in resting and cough state was recorded at 5, 30 min after extubation and the time of leaving PACU. The dosage of propofol and sufentanil in the operation and the additional dosage of sufentanil in PACU were recorded in both two groups. And the respiratory recovery time, consciousness recovery time, extubation time and sedation agitation scale(SAS) were observed. The adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness and hypotension were observed in PACU. Results:Compared with group A, MAP and HR of patients at T 2, T 3, T 4, T 5 in group B were more stable during anesthesia, and VAS of patients in group B were lower than that in group A at each time point after extubation ( P<0.05). The dosage of sufentanil and propofol in group B were (35.92±8.12)μg and (749.56±95.30)mg respectively, which were significantly lower than those in group A [(45.74±4.42)μg and (862.83±105.34)mg, P<0.05]; the dosage of sufentanil in postoperative anesthesia recovery room of group B was (5.26±2.10)μg, significantly less than that of group A (10.35±5.86)μg ( P<0.05). The respiratory recovery time, consciousness recovery time and extubation time in group B were (12.92±5.12) min, (20.56±5.10) min and (26.87 ± 6.16) min, which were shorter than those in group A [(15.74±4.72)min, (25.83±5.34)min and (35.35±5.80)min, P<0.05]. The incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting, lethargy and hypotension in group B were 10%, 10%, 35% and 20%, which were significantly lower than those in group A (30%, 20%, 75% and 45%, P<0.05). Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block may significantly reduce the dosage of opioid analgesics for general anesthesia in tuberculosis patients with fiberboard exfoliation, accelerate the speed of anesthesia recovery, reduce the agitation during recovery, and improve the quality of anesthesia recovery.

OBJECTIVE To study the phenotypic existence,genetic type and gene transfer of extended spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs) and AmpC beta-lactamase from Klebsiella pneumoniae and K.oxytoca. METHODS Disk confirmation test and 3-aminophenylboronic acid(APB) disk potentiation test were used to detect ESBLs and AmpC beta-lactamase.The genetic types of these two kinds of beta-lactamases were examined by gene chip technology and sequence analysis.The transfer of resistance genes was conducted by conjugation. RESULTS From 72 strains of K.pneumoniae and 20 strains of K.oxytoca which were not susceptible to cefoxitin,coexistence of AmpC(beta-lactamase) with ESBLs together was very common,accounted for 54.2% and 75.0%,single ESBLs accounted for 22.2% and 25.0%,respectively.There were 12.5% single AmpC in(K.pneumoniae).DHA type ampC gene and SHV type ESBLs gene were the main molecular types.These genes could be transferred from clinical isolates to recipient E.coli J53. CONCLUSIONS ESBLs as well as AmpC(beta-lactamase) are the most important resistance mechanism in K.pneumoniae and K.oxytoca.The resistance could be transferred through the bacterial conjugation.
