Objective To observe the effect of creatine phosphate sodium on BIS and recovery quality during general anesthesia emergence period in elderly patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱpatients,31 males,29 females,aged 65-80 yr undergoing transabdominal cholecystectomy by general anesthesia were randomly allocated into two groups(n=30 each):group creatine phosphate (P)and group control(C)according to random numbers generated by computer.Patients were intravenously infused with 1.0 g creatine phosphate sodium melted in 100 ml normal saline or only 100 ml normal saline in group P or C respectively in thirty minutes at the same time of surgical incision.The heart rate(HR)and bispectral index(BIS)were recorded before anesthesia induction (T0 ),during sputum aspiration (T0 ),during extubation (T2 )and 1(T3 ),5(T4 ),10(T5 ),15 minutes (T6 )after extubation. The dosage of propofol,remifentanil and cisatracurium,anesthesia duration,operation time,awake time,extubation time,recovery time of consciousness and Steward recovery scores on T3-T6 were also recorded,and the occurrence of tachycardia during the operation was observed at the same time. Results Compared with T0 ,the BIS value were lower significantly and HR were significantly in-creased on T1-T4 in the two groups(P <0.05).Compared with group C,the BIS value were signifi-cantly higher in group P on T1-T4 (P <0.05).Compared with group C,awake time,extubation time, recovery time of consciousness significantly shortened in group P (P <0.05).There were six cases of tachycardia occurring in group C which were significantly higher than two cases in group P (P <0.05).Steward recovery scores on T3 and T4 were also higher in group P (P <0.05).Conclusion Not only can 1.0 g creatine phosphate sodium administered during transabdominal cholecystectomy im-prove the BIS value of general anesthesia recovery period and recovery quality,but also effectively re-duce the incidence rate of tachycardia during operation in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of the indocyanine green (ICG) clearance test (ICGR15) combined with the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) for assessing the short-term prognosis of patients with liver failure.Methods Eighty patients with liver failure were analyzed retrospectively.ICGR15 and relevant clinical data within 24 hours of diagnosis were analyzed.Meanwhile,the MELD score and King's College Hospital (KCH) were evaluated.All findings were tested for correlation with 3-month mortality.Quantitative data were analyzed with analysis of variance and Student's t-test.Count data were analyzed with chi-square test.Correlation analysis was performed with Pearson's coefficient test.Results Among 80 patients with liver failure,39 patients survived and 41 died.The mortality rate of all patients was 51.2％.The serum total bilirubin,creainine concentrations,ICGR15,MELD scores and patient number in accordance with KCH criteria of surviving patients were (288.0±109.1) μmol/L,(63.3±24.4) μmol/L,(48.1±10.2)％,20.6±4.4,and 6 cases,respectively,which were lower than those in dead patients [(340.7 ± 108.2) μmol/L,(98.8 ± 59.1) μmol/L,(60.2 ± 10.6) ％,26.9 ± 7.1 and 19 cases,respectively] (P =0.033,P＝ 0.001,P＝ 0.000,P＝ 0.000 and P =0.003,respectively).There was no significant difference of ICGR15 among four types of liver failure.A positive correlation was observed between ICGR15 and MELD score (r=0.289,P=0.009).The ICGR15-MELD model was created by subjecting ICGR15 and MELD scores to Logistic regression analysis.The following ICGR15-MELD model,Logit (P) =0.105 × ICGR15 + 0.178 × MELD score-9.734,was constructed by Logistic regression analysis.The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.860 and the cut offpoint of 0.3 had sensitivity of 85.40％ and specificity of 74.40％.The area under the curve of the ICGR15-MELD model was significantly higher than those of ICGR15 (0.791),MELD score (0.770) and KCH criteria (0.655).Conclusions ICGR15 and MELD scores perform better than the KCH criteria in predicting the prognosis of liver failure.The ICGR15-MELD model is superior to ICGR15,MELD score,and KCH in predicting the short term prognosis of patients with liver failure.

Objective To identify the risk factors for in-hospital cardio-cerebrovascular events and 1-year mortality following lower extremity fracture surgery in elderly patients. Methods Four hundred and thirty patients, aged ≥ 65 yr, undergoing elective lower extremity fracture surgery from January 2010 to December 2014, were selected. Age, gender, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical sta-tus, preoperative comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, cardio-cerebrovascular events and hemiplegia), preop-erative anemia, surgical site (hip and femur, knee joint and the site below the knee), anesthesia method (general anesthesia, neuraxial anesthesia), surgery time, intraoperative hypertension and hypotension, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative Hb≤90 g∕L in hospital and volume of postoperative drainage, post-operative pneumonia and admission to the intensive care unit after operation were recorded. The patients were divided into either cardio-cerebrovascular event group or non-cardio-cerebrovascular event group ac-cording to whether the patients developed cardio-cerebrovascular events after surgery in hospital. The pa-tients were divided into either survival group or dead group according to the living status 1 yr after surgery. The risk factors of which P values were less than 0. 05 would enter the multi-factor logistic regression analy-sis to stratify the risk factors for in-hospital cardio-cerebrovascular events and 1-year mortality following low-er extremity fracture surgery. Results Three hundred and seventy-two patients completed the study. A-mong the 372 patients, 35 patients developed postoperative cardio-cerebrovascular events in hospital, and the incidence was 9. 4％, logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and ASA physical status ≥ Ⅲ were risk factors for in-hospital postoperative cardio-cerebrovascular events. Thirty-three patients died within 1 yr after surgery, the mortality rate was 8. 9％, and logistic re-gression analysis showed that age≥75 yr, preoperative hemiplegia and development of cardio-cerebrovascu-lar events after surgery in hospital were postoperative 1-year mortality-related risk factors. Conclusion Preoperative cardio-cerebrovascular diseases and ASA physical status ≥ Ⅲ are the independent risk factors for in-hospital cardio-cerebrovascular events following lower extremity fracture surgery in elderly patients;age≥75 yr, preoperative hemiplegia and in-hospital postoperative cardio-cerebrovascular events are the in-dependent risk factors for 1-year mortality after surgery.
