Objective:To identify the risk factors for postoperative sleep disturbance (PSD) in patients undergoing spine surgery.Methods:In this case-control study, patients who underwent spine surgery from December 2023 to June 2024 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital of Capital Medical University, were selected as the subjects of the study. The quality of postoperative sleep was assessed using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The baseline characteristics and various perioperative indicators of the patients were collected. The patients were divided into PSD group and non-PSD group according to whether they had PSD. The variables with statistically significant differences from the univariate analysis were included in a multivariate logistic regression to identify the risk factors for PSD.Results:The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative sleep disturbance (odds ratio [ OR]=2.23, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.06-4.72, P=0.036), course of disease > 12 months ( OR=2.20, 95% CI 1.14-4.24, P=0.019) and AIS score > 2 on the night before surgery ( OR=2.06, 95% CI 1.02-4.16, P=0.045) were the independent risk factors for PSD in patients undergoing spine surgery. Conclusions:Preoperative sleep disturbance, course of disease > 12 months and AIS score > 2 on the night before surgery are independent risk factors for PSD in patients undergoing spine surgery.

Objective Feasibility application of microelectrode recording(MER)during sub thalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation(STN-DBS)implantation under desflurane general anesthesia(GA)in patients with Par-kinson's disease(PD).Methods A prospective cohort of 20 PD patients undergoing STN-DBS under desflurane general anesthesia were enrolled.Intraoperative MER quality,pos-operative acute pain,cognitive function,anxi-ety/depression status,quality of life,and clinical efficacy of DBS were evaluated.Results Among the patients,14 were male with average PD duration of(8.1±3.6)years.Hoehn-Yahr staging averaged 2.8±0.5 in"on"state and 2.3±0.5 in"off"state.The mean DBS surgery duration was 87.4 minutes.Highly normalized root-mean-square(NRMS)signals were successfully recorded in all cases,with remedial measures applied in 4 pa-tients to achieve satisfactory MER signals.Post-operative Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)pain scores on days 1,2,and 3 were 3.7±2.2,2.8±1.6,and 1.8±2.0,respectively.Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)scores showed no statistical difference during hospitalization as compared to pre-operative values,but significantly de-creased at 6-month follow-up(24.3±4.1 vs.21.5±3.5,P＜0.05).All patients demonstrated significant reduc-tion in Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD),and Parkinson's disease Questionnaire-39(PDQ-39)scores at 6-month follow-up.The unified Parkinson's disease rating scale(UPDRS-Ⅲ)improvement rates were 51.4%±39.2%(medication-on)and 61.6%±26.8%(medication-off)respectively with Levodopa Equivalent Daily Dose(LEDD)improvement rate of 48.6%±23.0%.Conclusions Desflurane general anesthesia is safe and feasible for electrods implantation in STN-DBS of PD patients,without interfering with intra-operative MER or postoperative outcomes.

Objective To explore the neurophysiological signatures of auditory event-related potentials(AERP)during propofol-induced graded sedation depths,and their correlations with sedation levels and behavioral responsiveness,and further to evaluate the feasibility of AERP components as potential biomarkers for quantifying consciousness states.Methods An auditory Oddball paradigm was used to evoke AERP responses in healthy volunteers under propofol-induced graded sedation.Linear mixed model was applied to explore the relationships between the mean amplitudes of AERP components[mismatch negativity(MMN);P300]and both sedation-induced conscious states[Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/sedation Scale(MOAA/S)scores]and behavioral performance(response accuracy).Results Twenty-two healthy volunteers were included.Data analysis revealed significant negative correlations between the mean amplitudes of MMN components[MMN-Dev:β=-0.62(-2.70--0.07),P=0.04;MMN-Nov:β=-0.15(-0.27--0.03),P=0.02]and MOAA/S scores during propofol sedation.Novel stimulus-evoked MMN amplitudes also correlated with response accuracy[MMN-Nov:β=-5.08(-7.78--2.37),P<0.01].There was a weak positive correlation between novel stimulus-evoked P300 amplitudes and MOAA/S scores[β=0.16(0.04-0.39),P=0.04],however,the correlation was no significant difference after adjusting for confounding factors including age,education level,and cognitive level.Conclusion The mean amplitude of MMN component elicited during auditory tasks was correlated with conscious states and behavioral accuracy under propofol-induced graded sedation.MMN holds promise as a potential neurophysiological indicator for quantifying conscious states or behavioral responsiveness during sedation.

Objective To analyze the application effects of laryngeal mask airway(LMA)general anesthesia versus endotracheal intubation(ETI)general anesthesia in Parkinson's disease(PD)patients undergoing deep brain stimulation(DBS)implantable pulse generator(IPG)surgery.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 164 PD patients who underwent IPG surgery at our hospital from August 2020 to February 2021.Patients were divided into two groups based on airway management:LMA group(n=61)and ETI group(n=103).Perioperative hemodynamic parameters,including mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR),were observed at five time points:pre-induction(T0),post-induction(T1),skin incision(T2),extubation(T3),and post-anesthesia care unit(PACU)admission(T4).Key outcomes,such as extubation time,intraoperative hypoxia events,LMA-to-ETI conversion rate,and postoperative complications(respiratory depression,pneumonia),were compared between the two groups.Results The LMA group had a significantly lower body mass index than the ETI group[(22.75±3.11)kg/m2 vs(23.85±3.49)kg/m2,P=0.039],while the other baseline characteristics were comparable.After induction,the LMA group exhibited a less decrease in MAP[(85.46±11.63)mmHg vs(74.13±11.78)mmHg in the ETI group,P<0.001].At extubation,the ETI group showed higher MAP[(98.27±13.78)mmHg vs(89.66±10.50)mmHg in the LMA group,P<0.001].The intraoperative use of vasoactive drugs was significantly lower in the LMA group(3.3%)than that in the ETI group(13.6%,P=0.032).The mean extubation time was shorter in the LMA group[(8.43±5.25)min vs(14.28±7.66)min in the ETI group,P<0.001].No intraoperative hypoxia or LMA-to-ETI conversion events occurred in either group.Postoperative respiratory depression and pneumonia rates showed no statistically significant differences between the groups.Conclusion LMA general anesthesia can be safely applied in PD patients undergoing DBS IPG implantation.It shortens extubation time,reduces the use of vasoactive drugs,and does not increase the risk of intubation-related complications.

Following the blood pressure, pulse, breathing and body temperature, pain was identified as the fifth vital signs.Postoperative pain of the spine and spinal cord surgery was a neuropathic pain, it was severe and may affect multiple systems of the patients.Therefore, postoperative analgesia of spine and spinal cord surgery is very important.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different positions on cerebral blood flow in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 23-64 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery,were included.Patients' position was changed using a random number table after induction of anesthesia.Patients were placed in the supine position and tilted 15° head-up or 15° head-down,and the parameters of the middle cerebral artery were monitored using the transcranial Doppler ultrasound.After admission to the operating room (baseline),after induction of anesthesia and before pneumoperitoneum,in the supine position,at head-up tilt and at head-down tilt,the mean blood flow velocity,pulsatility index,resistance index,mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate were recorded.Results Compared with the baseline in the supine position,the MAP and bilateral mean blood flow velocity were significantly decreased at head-up tilt,and the MAP and bilateral pulsatility and resistance indices were significantly increased at head-down tilt (P＜0.05).Conclusion During laparoscopic surgery,head-up tilt can lead to a decrease in cerebral blood flow,and head-down tilt exerts no effect on cerebral blood flow.

Objective To investigate the effects of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia on blood glucose and cortisol in spinal neurosurgery.Methods Forty-four spinal neurosurgery patients were divided into propofol combined with remifentanil group (PR group) and sevoflurane combined with remifentanil group (SR group ), 22 cases in each group,they were induced with propofol, sufentanil and rocuronium. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane in SR group while propofol in PR group. Depth of anesthesia adaption according to bispectral index (BIS)(45 -55). Blood glucose, cortisol, haemodynamics were observed at different time points. Results The mean arterial pressure(MAP) was higher after induction in PR group than that in SR group(P ＜ 0.05 ). Sixty minutes after induction, MAP was lower than that before induction in PR group (P ＜ 0.05 ). Heart rate ( HR )in both SR group and PR group were lower at 60 and 120 minutes after induction than those before induction (P ＜ 0.05). HR was lower at 5 minutes after induction in PR group than that in SR group (P ＜ 0.05). No significant difference was showed in blood glucose and cortisol between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ). Cortisol level was significantly lower at 120 minutes after induction than that before induction [(40.6 ± 18.3) μg/L vs. ( 129.7 ± 36.7 ) μg/L, P ＜ 0.05 ] and at 24 hours postoperative [ (93.6 ± 19.8 ) μg/L ] recovered to the level before induction in PR group. Cortisol level was significantly higher before induction than 120 minutes after induction [ ( 130.5 ± 32.1 ) μg/L vs. (51.6 ± 16.8 ) μg/L, P ＜ 0.05 ] and 24 hours postoperative was (75.9 ± 18.2) μg/L in SR group. Conclusions Two anesthetic regimens are compatible during spinal neurosurgery, with no apparent fluctuations of perioperative blood glucose. However, longer cortisol inhibition is probably happened when using sevoflurane.
