1.The Effect on Inhibition of Raising Intraocular Pressure during Endotracheal Intubation in Man .
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1980;13(4):319-324
After various anesthetic inductions, the effects of tracheal intubation on mean arterial preasure(MAP) and intraocular pressure(IOP) were studied in 88 random patients who did not have any cardiovascular and ocular diseases properatively. IOP and MAP were measured with a Perkins hand held applanation-tonometer and a Cardi- 8- mini syhygmomanometer respectively. The results were as follows: 1) Both the MAP and IOP were increased in succinylcholine and pancuronium anesthetic induction groups after endotracheal intubation. 2) Rises in,both the MAP and IOP were inhibited in induced hypotensive anesthetic induction with halothane and trimethaphan. 3) The IOP was inhibited in the propranolol group. These results show the superiority of induced hypotensive anesthetic induction with halothane, trimethaphan and propranolol prior to administration for inhibition of raising intraocular pressure.

It is a known fact that the increase of intraocular pressure results from the action of succinylcholine, endotracheal stimulation to carina, bucking and coughing etc during the induction arid recovery periods. Efforts have been made by several inveatigators to prevent intraocular hypertension by giving trimetaphan, inderal or curare. However, their effects were not remarkable. In this study, lidocaine Img/tg was administered intravenously to selectee patients 2-3 minutes hefore induction ; followed by regular induction with pentothal, succinylcholine and incubation. Intraocular pressures were measured at the pre-induction and post-intutation time, and every 30 minutes until the early recovery period, thereafter. The result of this study showed that the post-intubational increase of intraocular pressure was prevented in 86.7% of the lidocaine pretreated cases. The increase of post-extuba-tional intraocular pressure was also reduced significantly in the lidocaine pretreated group-as well. We came to the conclusion that lidocaine pretreatment technic can be used effectively to prevent intraocular hyperteilsion caused by induction and extubation in clinical practice.

Induced hypotensive anesthesia is well known anesthetic method. It reduces bleeding into surgical field and provides better visibility for the surgery of cerebral aneurysm. The most current method for induced hypotensive anesthesia is composed of general anesthesia and ganglionic blockade. This study was performed to compare the clinical experience from hypotensive anesthesia with halothane only to hypotensive anesthesia with trimetaphan and halothane. The results of our study were as follows; 1) There are no different technical difficulties during hypotensive anesthesia between halothane induced cases and trimetaphan used cases. 2) No clinical evidence of direct organic damage because of hypotensive anesthesia was found. 3) The prognosis of postoperative recovery may deeply related to preoperative physical state than anesthesia. To conclude through this experience, induced hypotensive anesthesia is a useful method for the cerebral aneurysmal surgery. The technique of deliberate hypotension is not too difficult to use in ordinary equiped hospital.

4.Trimethaphan Camphorsulfonate in the Treatment of Shock.
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1969;2(1):35-39
Trimethaphan camphorsulfonate (Arfonad), in 0.1 per cent concentration, has been administered slowly by intravenous drip to 6 patients in shock and protracted vasoconstrictive states. Administration of Arfonad results in vasodilation and relative hypovolemia. Blood or plasma expander was required to avoid an unacceptable hypotension. All patients survived except one, in whom the cause of death was not related .in any way to the use of Arfonad. Importance of supplementing respiration with oxygen and monitoring central venous pressure has been stressed and the rational use of both vasoconstrictor and vasiodiator discussed. At times, vasodilation is desirable, at other times, it may best be avoided. It is suggested that Arfonad may have a place in the treatment of shock but if so, it should be used only when protracted vasoconstriction exists.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is an intrinsic phenomenon whereby 3~4 consecutive ischemia-reperfusion cycles to a remote tissue (noncardiac) increases the tolerance of the myocardium to sustained ischemiareperfusion induced injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning induces the local release of chemical mediators which activate the sensory nerve endings to convey signals to the brain. The latter consequently stimulates the efferent nerve endings innervating the myocardium to induce cardioprotection. Indeed, RIPC-induced cardioprotective effects are reliant on the presence of intact neuronal pathways, which has been confirmed using nerve resection of nerves including femoral nerve, vagus nerve, and sciatic nerve. The involvement of neurogenic signaling has been further substantiated using various pharmacological modulators including hexamethonium and trimetaphan. The present review focuses on the potential involvement of neurogenic pathways in mediating remote ischemic preconditioning-induced cardioprotection.

It has been emphasized that continuous monitorings of arterial pressure, central venous pressure, electrocardiogram, blood gas analysis, serum electrolytes, body temperature, hematacrit and urinary output are mandatory for the anesthetic management of pheochromocytoma. In addition, it is necessary for the anesthetists to understand pharmacologic effects of drugs which influence the peripheral vascular tone and cardiac excitability. We experienced recently anesthetic management of two cases of pheochromocytoma; one raised problems of ventricular arrhythmias and hypertension that aggravated nature of arrhythrmias by increasing blood pressure and responded favorably to treatment with propranolol and trimetaphan. Tumor of this case originated from abdominal aortic wall. The other was managed by injection of d-tubocurarine which induced narrowing of pulse pressure by depletion of increasing systolic pressure and accompanied tachycardia without cardiac decompensation. We have reported proper anesthetic managements of two cases of pheochromocytoma with N2O O2-halothane anesthesia and reviewed literatures in discussion.

BACKGROUNDThe neurogenic bladder dysfunction caused by spinal cord injury is difficult to treat clinically. The aim of this research was to establish an artificial bladder reflex arc in rats through abdominal reflex pathway above the level of spinal cord injury, reinnervate the neurogenic bladder and restore bladder micturition.
METHODSThe outcome was achieved by intradural microanastomosis of the right T13 ventral root to S2 ventral root with autogenous nerve grafting, leaving the right T13 dorsal root intact. Long-term function of the reflex arc was assessed from nerve electrophysiological data and intravesical pressure tests during 8 months postoperation. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) tracing was performed to observe the effectiveness of the artificial reflex.
RESULTSSingle stimulus (3 mA, 0.3 ms pulses, 20 Hz, 5-second duration) on the right T13 dorsal root resulted in evoked action potentials, raised intravesical pressures and bladder smooth muscle, compound action potential recorded from the right vesical plexus before and after the spinal cord transaction injury between L5 and S4 segmental in 12 Sprague-Dawley rats. There were HRP labelled cells in T13 ventral horn on the experimental side and in the intermediolateral nucleus on both sides of the L6-S4 segments after HRP injection. There was no HRP labelled cell in T13 ventral horn on the control side.
CONCLUSIONUsing the surviving somatic reflex above the level of spinal cord injury to reconstruct the bladder autonomous reflex arc by intradural microanastomosis of ventral root with a segment of autologous nerve grafting is practical in rats and may have clinical applications for humans.

Deliberately induced hypotension reduces bleeding in operative fields, therby facilitating the surgical manipulation of a highly vascularized lesion and enabling a better dissection to be made. Hypocapnia is a technique by which the regional cerebral blood flow is reduced, effecting a decrease in the intracranial volume. The monitoring of end-tidal CO2 tension(PECO2) is widely done since the amount of end-tidal CO2 tension reflects indirectly the value of the degree of arterial CO2 tension(PaCO2). During hypotension, increased physiologic dead space my produce the widened PaCO2-PECO2 gradient and this large gradient makes PECO2 an unreliable indication of PaCO2. There are many reports on hypotensive agents and techniques. Induced hypotension with halothane has been reported to be a relatively safe and useful method by Murtagh(1960) and Schettini, et al (1967). We reported 100 cases of halothane induce hypotensive anesthesia for intracranial aneurysm surgery in 1979. The present study reports concerning the hypotensive anesthesia for 259 cases of intracranial aneurysm surgery, which were performed at Severance Hospital of the Yonsei University College of Medicine from 1972 to 1985. We evaluated prospectively the PaCO2-PECO2 gradient with modern infrared capnographs during the induced hypotension of 25 cases, which was performed for intracranial aneurysm surgery at this hospital. The result of the retrospective and prostpective studies were as follows. A. Retrospective study 1) Halothane and enflurane were used as the primary anesthetics in 246 and 13 cases, respectively. Hydralasine, nitroprusside, and trimetaphan were supplementarily used for inducing hypotension in 29, 19 and 15 cases, respectively. 2) The mean arterial blood pressure of the lowest blood pressure in the induced hypotension group was 57.2+/-9.3 mmHg, and the mean arterial blood pressure of the highest blood pressures during the induction fo anesthesia was 111.3+/-20.8mmHg. 3) There was no significant difference in the perioperative hemoglobins, hematocrits, and serum electrolytes. 4) In the introperative period gas analysis revealed respiratory alkalosis(arterial CO2 tension and pH were 29.7+/-6.7mmHg and 7.485+/-0.078, respectively). In other values there was no significant change. 5) The mortality rate in 259 cases of intracranial aneurysm surgery was 6.2%. B. Prospective study There was no significant difference in the PaCO2-PECO2 gradients between in the hypotensive period (5.5+/-3.8 mmHg) and in the normotensiveperiod(4.3+/-3.4mmHg). In conclusion, the technique of using induced hypotension with the inhalation anesthetics, halothane or enflurane, is a safe and useful one to use in performing surgery for intracranial aneurysm, and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension can be used as an indirect measure of arterial carbon dioxide during the induced hypotension.

Tachycardia and hypertension are well documented complications of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in normal patients(Reid and Brace, 1940; Burstein et al, 1950; King et al 1951; Takeshima et al, 1964; Forbes and Dally, 1970). This phenomenon has been studied in detail in cats by Tomori and Widdicombe(1969), who found it to be associated with an increased impulse traffic in the cervical sympathetic efferent fibers. This nervous activity was especially increased by stimulation of the epipharyngeal and laryngopharyngeal regions, and was accompanied by the largest hypertensive response(Takki et al, 1972). Also various arrhythmias were elicited by vagal stimulation during endotracheal intubation(Burstein et al, 1950: King et al, 1951; Forbes et al, 1970), and it has been known that cardiac arrest could be observed in severe cases(Burstein et al, 1950; Dwyer, 1953; Raffan, 1954; Lander and Mayer, 1965). That hypertension during induction of anesthesia in critically ill patients may be harmful is substantiated by reports of cerebral hemorrhage, left ventricular failure and life threatening cardiac arrhythmia(Forbes and Dally, 1970; Dingle, 1966; Masson, 1964; Katz and Bigger, 1970). Pharmacologic attempts to attenuate these blood pressure and heart rate elevations and appearances of arrhythmia have been tried but theese approaches have been only partially successful. We selected at random 60 adult patients who had received operation under the general anesthesia with intubation at Severance Hospital from August to September, 1979. They were divided into 4 groups. Group l was normotensive without trimethaphan(n=20), Group ll was normotensive with trimethaphan(n=20), Group ll was hypertensive without trimethaphsn(n=10) and Group lV was hypertensive with trimethaphan(n=10). The changes of arterial blood pressure and pulse rate, and appearance of arrnythmia were analyzed and data were compared between groups. The results were as follows; 1. In the trimethaphan injected group, during induction attenuation of increase in blood pressure was not significant in the normotensive group but was statistically significant in the hypertensive group. 2, The effects of trimethaphan on changes of pulse rate were not significant during laryngoscopic insertion under general anesthesia. 3, On EKG of hypertensive patients the trimethaphan injected group revealed fewer abnormal EKG findings than the control group. It is suggested from the above results that intravenous injection of a small amount(0.1 mg/kg) of trimethaphan in a hypertensive patient just before endotracheal intubation can be used as one method to prevent a dangerous hypertensive crisis.

For lesions like intracranial aneurysms which are located near highly vascularized regions, adequate dissection becomes almost impossible unless local blood flow can be reduced. Deliberate hypotension, purposefully lowering the arterial pressure to a level at which bleeding is no longer a problem, facilitates surgery, allows performance of a better dissection, and shortens the length of the procedure. Currently, the most useful method for induced hypotensive anesthesia is the use of chemical drugs, such as trimethaphan, nitroprusside and halothane. Induced hypotension with halothane has been reported to be a relatively safe and useful method by Murtagh (1960) and Schettini, et al (1967). Halothane has the effect of depression of myocardial contractility, central autonomic inhibition, ganglionic blocking action and suppression of the peripheral actions of norepinephrine and direct vasodilation on the vessel wall. The advantage of halothane is the reduction of mean arterial pressure slowly (1-3 mm Hg/min) and it has a transient effect on EKG, little effect on brain cortical function and appropriate oxygen supply to brain tissue. The halothane induced hypotension in 100 cases of intracranial aneurysm surgery, which were performed at Severance Hospital of the Yonsei University College of Medicine from .1972 to 1977, was investigated clinically. The results of our study were as follows: 1) The locations of intracranial aneurysm in order were the anterior cerebral artery (37 cases), internal carotid artery (35 cases), middle cerebral artery (23 cases) and posterior cerebral artey (2 cases). Three cases of multiple cerebral aneurysm were found in our study. 2) In the hypotensive phase, the mean systolic and diastolic pressures were 73. 45 mmHg+/- 0. 86, 54. 95 mmHg+/- 0. 86 and the mean duration was 34. 74 min+/- l. 60. 3) The blood pressure control by halothane was comparatively easy and there was no cliaical evidence of direct injury to the brain, heart, kidney and liver due to halothane induced hypotension. 4) The mortality rate in the 100 cases of the intracranial aneurysm was 16 percent. From the above observation it may be concluded that the technique of deliberate hypotension induced by halothane anesthesia is a useful method in the surgery of intracranial aneurysm.
