Objective To compare the feasibility and efficacy between dexmedetomidine and midazolam in herniorrhaphy surgery for older patients. Methods Sixty American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) gradeⅠ~Ⅱpatients, treated by herniorrhaphy surgery under local anesthesia,were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (n=30) and midazolam group (n=30) .Patients in dexmedetomidine group were given dexmedetomidine at a loading dose of 1μg/kg for 10 min,then they were injected continuously by 0.4μg/(kg·h),whereas midazolam group were given midazolam at a loading dose of 0.06 mg/kg, then 0.04 mg/(kg·h) injected continuously.The mean blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded before infusion (T0),incision of skin (T1),15min (T2) and 30 min (T3) after administration and when sutured skin (T4), adverse reaction were also assessed. Results The difference of sedation level was not significant between the two groups (P>0.05) .Compared with T0 , the decrease of HR was significantly more in dexmedetomidine group from T1 to T4 (P<0.05) . Compared with midazolam group , the decrease of HR was significantly more in dexmedetomidine group from T1 to T4 (P<0.05) . Compared with dexmedetomidine group, the rate of respiratory depression and restlessness were more in midazolam group, but bradycardia was lower (P<0.05) .Conclusions Dexmedetomidine is a comparable alternative to midazolam for sedation in herniorrhaphy surgery under local anesthesia. It is associated with better respiration and lower restlessness but with a high incidence of bradycardia.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dyclonine gel on the success rate and complication of laryngeal mask airway(LMA)insertion. Methods Eighty ASAⅠ~Ⅱpatients undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy under general anesthesia received insertion of LMA coated with either dyclonine gel(group A,n=40)or paraffin oil(group B ,n = 40). Systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded before anesthesia (T0),after induction (T1),at LMA insertion (T2),and 3 min after LMA insertion (T3). Time and frequency of LMA insertion ,incidence of abnormal sensation of pharynx and sore throat after surgery in 2 groups were recorded. Results Compared with those at T0,the SBP,DBP and HR were lower at T1, T2 and T3 in 2 groups(P<0.05). The one-time success rate of group A and group B were 90%and 97.5%respec-tively(P>0.05).The incidence of abnormal sensation of pharynx and sore throat was significantly lower in group A (5%vs. 20%)(P<0.05). Conclusion Dyclonine gel cream-coated LMA can reduce the incidence of sore throat in patients undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy under general anesthesia.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of dexmedetomidine for preventing agitation during extubation period in the patients undergoing percutaneous nephrostolithotomy.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients with elective percutaneous nephrostolithotomy under general anesthesia were selected and randomly assigned to the dexmedetomidine (DEM) and normal saline group (NS),30 cases in each group.The DEM group was given dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg by intravenous pumping at 30 min before the end of the operation,while the NS group was given the equal volume of normal saline by intravenous pumping for 10 min.MAP and HR were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),at the end of skin suturing(T1),at the moment of extubation(T2),at 5 min (T3) and 10 min(T4)after extubation.The eye opening time and extubation time,and incidence of agitation were observed in the two groups.Results MAP and HR at T2,T3 and T4 in the DEM group were lower than those in the NS group(P＜0.05).MAP and HR at T2,T3,T4 in the NS group were higher than those before anesthesia induction(P＜0.05).The total incidence rate of agitation during extubation period in the DEM group was also significantly lower that that in the NS group(P＜0.01).No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in the recovery time and extubation time(P＞0.05).Conclusion Intravenous pumping of dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg at 30 min before the end of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy can effectively reduce the occurrence of agitation during extubation period.

Objective To study the effects of different types of fluid resuscitation on mesenteric microcirculation and inflammatory factors in rabbits with hemorrhagic shock.Methods The model of hemorrhagic shock rabbits was established by reducing the basic mean arterial pressure by 40%through draining the blood from the common carotid artery.Animals were randomly divided into control group,saline group,lactate Ringer group,acetic acid Ringer group,hydroxyethyl starch group and succinyl gelatin group with 8 animals in each group.Mesenteric microcirculation was monitored with microcirculation monitor.Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),microvascular perfusion ratio(PPV)and microvascular blood flow index(MFI)were recorded before bleeding(T0),at hemorrhagic shock(T1),at the beginning of fluid resuscitation(T2),at the completion of fluid resuscitation(T3),and at the end of the experiment(T4).The contents of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-1(IL-1)and lactic acid(Lac)were measured at T0,T2 and T4.Results Compared with hydroxyethyl starch group,there were statistically significant differences in T3 MAP(P<0.05),except for succinyl gelatin group,hydroxyethyl starch group had higher MAP at T4 than other groups,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in MAP between experimental control group and other groups were statistically significant at T4(P<0.05).PPV and MFI of hydroxyethyl starch group and succinyl gelatin group were higher than those of normal saline group,lactic acid Ringer group and acetic acid Ringer group at T4(P<0.05),and the lactic acid value of hydroxyethyl starch group at T4 was the lowest,compared with lactic acid Ringer group and normal saline group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There were statistical significances between all groups and experimental control group at T4(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in TNF-αand IL-1 in T0,T2 and T4 among all groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Hydroxyethyl starch solution and succinyl gelatin solution can improve the microcirculation of rabbits with hemorrhagic shock,but can not improve the level of inflammatory factors.

Objective To compare the effects of 4 different shaping angle tubes on the success rate of tracheal intubation and postoperative pharyngeal complications among anesthetic beginners.Methods 160 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia,with ASA classification Ⅰ to Ⅱ,no history of difficult airway,were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the catheter shape and tip shaping angle:35°banana-shaped elbow group(A Group),50°banana-shaped bent pipe group(Group B),35°straight pipe group(Group C),50°straight pipe group(Group D),with 40 cases in each group.After induction of general anesthesia,tracheal intubation is performed using a video laryngoscope.The Cormack-Lehane grade of laryngoscope exposure,external laryngeal compression,one-time success rate of intubation and intubation time were recorded.SPO2,HR and MAP were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),at the end of anesthesia induction drug injection(T1),immediately after intubation(T2)and 1min after intubation(T3).The incidence of pharyngeal pain and hoarseness immediately after extubation and 24 hours after operation were followed up.Results There were no statistically significant differences in Cormack-Lehane classification,HR,and MAP among the four groups of patients at each time point(P>0.05).The number of cases requiring external laryngeal compression,intubation time,first-time intubation success rate,immediate postoperative sore throat,and immediate postoperative hoarseness rates in Groups B and D were all lower than those in Groups A and C,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion When using video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation,50°banana-shaped curved tube and 50°straight tube can shorten the intubation time,reduce postoperative complications,and have no obvious hemodynamic fluctuations.

Objective To explore the effects of two methods of video laryngoscope insertion on the success rate of tracheal intubation and postoperative pharyngeal complications.Methods We selected 80 elective surgerypatients with American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)classification Ⅰ to Ⅱ who had no difficult airway in preoperative assessment under general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation.They were aged 18 to 65 years old and there were no restrictions on height and weight.The patients were randomly divided into a group with laryngoscope inserted through the middle of the mouth(group M)and a group with laryngoscope inserted through the right corner of the mouth(group C),with 40 cases in each group.Observe the laryngoscope exposure grading,oropharyngeal mucosal bleeding,first-time intubation success rate,and occurrence of pharyngeal pain and hoarseness within 48 hours after surgery in both groups;record the patients'systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),and heart rate(HR)among admission to the room(T0),after giving anesthesia drugs(T1),immediately after intubation(T2),1 min after intubation(T3),and 3 min after intubation(T4).Results The SBP of group M was lower than that of group C at T3(P＜0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in laryngoscope exposure grading between the two groups(P＞0.05).The intubation time,oropharynx mucosal bleeding and the cases of sore throat within 48 hours of group M were less than those in group C(P＜0.05).The success rate of primary intubation in group M was higher than that in group C(P＜0.05).Conclusion Inserting a video laryngoscope through the middle of the mouth can reduce oropharyngeal mucosal bleeding,improve the success rate of intubation,and reduce the incidence of postoperative pharyngeal complications.
