Background:
Intraoperative hypercapnia reduces the time to emergence from volatile anesthetics, but few clinical studies have explored the effect of hypercapnia on the emergence time from intravenous (IV) anesthesia. We investigated the effect of inducing mild hypercapnia during the recovery period on the emergence time after total IV anesthesia (TIVA).
Methods:
Adult patients undergoing transurethral lithotripsy under TIVA were randomly allocated to normocapnia group (end-tidal carbon dioxide [ETCO2] 35–40 mmHg) or mild hypercapnia group (ETCO2 50-55 mmHg) during the recovery period. The primary outcome was the extubation time. The spontaneous breathing-onset time, voluntary eye-opening time, and hemodynamic data were collected. Changes in the cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery were assessed using transcranial Doppler ultrasound.
Results:
In total, 164 patients completed the study. The extubation time was significantly shorter in the mild hypercapnia (13.9 ± 5.9 min, P = 0.024) than in the normocapnia group (16.3 ± 7.6 min). A similar reduction was observed in spontaneous breathing-onset time (P = 0.021) and voluntary eye-opening time (P = 0.008). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the adjusted ETCO2 level was a negative predictor of extubation time. Middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity was significantly increased after ETCO2 adjustment for mild hypercapnia, which rapidly returned to baseline, without any adverse reactions, within 20 min after extubation.
Conclusions
Mild hypercapnia during the recovery period significantly reduces the extubation time after TIVA. Increased ETCO2 levels can potentially enhance rapid recovery from IV anesthesia.

Objective:The study was to explore the nipple-areola complex(NAC) blood supply model in Chinese breasts based on dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and to provide the blood supply knowledge for mammaplasty.Methods:Breast DCE-MRI images of breasts without masses in 245 patients from March 2012 to October 2019 in Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology were included retrospectively. The breast vessels images were obtained by image subtraction in the Siemens workstation. Axial, coronal and sagittal maximum intensity projection(MIP) images were evaluated, and all vessels supplying the nipple-areola complex were identified by 3D MIP images. Blood supply to the NAC was classified into 9 zones, and vessels of each zone were counted and analyzed. The maximum distance from the vessel to the skin surface of the breast was measured. SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The chi-square test was used to check for significant differences in the distribution of zones between the left breasts and the right breasts. The mean, standard deviation and 95% confidence interval of the distance between vessels and skin were calculated. Using ANOVA to compare the distance between vessels and skin of zones. P<0.05 was statistically significant. Results:There were 490 breasts in 245 DCE-MRI images, of which 97 breasts were found to have masses in 97 DCE-MRI images. The remaining 393 were normal breasts as study subjects. The patients’ ages ranged from 23 to 72 years, with a mean of 43.7 years. 637 source vessels (311 left, 326 right) were identified in 393 breasts (200 left, 193 right). Of the 637 vessels, 269 (42.2%) were in the superomedial zone and 180 (28.3%) were in the superolateral zone. The proportions of vessels in zone medial (57, 8.9%), inferior (37, 5.8%), central (30, 4.7%), inferomedial (25, 3.9%), inferolateral (25, 3.9%), superior (11, 1.7%) and lateral (3, 0.5%) were less than 10%, respectively. The chi-square test showed no significant difference in the distribution of zones ( χ2 =6.4, P=0.602) between the left breasts and the right breasts. Except for the central zone, the mean of maximum distance from the vessels to the skin surface was 0.91 cm, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.86 cm to 0.96 cm. Conclusions:DCE-MRI can clearly show the blood supply to the NAC. Superomedial or superolateral source vessels supplying the NAC were predominant, and the vessels run at a subcutaneous depth of about 1 cm.
