We report our experience in using the target controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol combined with the bispectral index (BIS) monitoring for anesthetic management of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) in a 43-year-old-male patient with angina pectoris. After premedication, the patient was connected to the monitor with electrodes for BIS monitor. Then, anesthesia was induced with fentanyl and propofol using TCI technique. When blood concentration of propofol reached 4 micrograms.ml-1, the trachea was intubated. Before starting the operation, we evaluated the relationship between blood concentration of propofol and the value of BIS, and the standard maintenance concentration of propofol was set at 3 micrograms.ml-1. When the concentration of propofol was 3 micrograms.ml-1, the value of BIS was about 60. Anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide and oxygen and continuous infusion of propofol using TCI technique. When necessary, we gave additional injection of fentanyl and vecuronium bromide. Furthermore, diltiazem was infused continuously for cardiac rate control, as well as infusion of nicorandil, nitroglycerine for prevention of coronary artery spasms, and prostaglandin. After the operation, the patient was alert in 8 minutes and we could extubate in 12 minutes. The use of TCI combined with BIS monitoring for maintenance of anesthesia for MIDCAB is useful and safe.

Noradrenergic suppression to reduce electroencephalographic arousal after intubation: a randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
BJA Open

Department of Anaesthetics, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: Intraoperative awareness, without explicit recall, occurs after induction of anaesthesia in approximately 10% of persons under 40 yr of age. Most anaesthetic agents minimally suppress the noradrenergic system. We hypothesised that addition of dexmedetomidine, which suppresses noradrenergic activity, may reduce encephalographic (EEG) arousal in response to tracheal intubation; such an effect would lay the foundation for future studies of dexmedetomidine in reducing intraoperative awareness.

The mesopontine tegmental anesthesia area (MPTA) is a focal brainstem locus which, when exposed to GABAergic agents, induces brain-state transitioning from wakefulness to unconsciousness. Correspondingly, MPTA lesions render animals relatively insensitive to GABAergic anesthetics delivered systemically. Using chemogenetics, we recently identified a neuronal subpopulation within the MPTA whose excitation induces this same pro-anesthetic effect.

Background: Mixed exhaled air has been widely used to determine exhaled propofol concentrations with online analyzers, but changes in dead space proportions may lead to inaccurate assessments of critical drug concentration data. This study proposes a method to correct propofol concentration in mixed air by estimating pulmonary dead space through reconstructing volumetric capnography (Vcap) from time-CO and time-volume curves, validated with vacuum ultraviolet time-of-flight mass spectrometry (VUV-TOF MS).
Methods: Existing monitoring parameters, including time-volume and time-CO curves, were used to determine Vcap.

: Despite the known impact of propofol and remifentanil on hemodynamics and patient outcomes, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis, particularly in surgical settings, considering the influence of noxious stimuli. The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative semi-mechanistic population model that characterized the time course changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) due to the effects of propofol, remifentanil, and different types of noxious stimulation related to the clinical routine. : Data from a prospective study were used; the study analyzed the effects of propofol and remifentanil general anesthesia on female patients in physical status of I-II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA I-II) undergoing gynecology surgery.

: A PBPK model allows the prediction of the concentration of drug amounts in different tissues and organs over time and can be used to simulate and optimize different therapeutic protocols in healthy and sick individuals. The objective of this work was to create a PBPK model to predict propofol doses for healthy canines and canines with hepatic impairment. : The study methodology was divided into two major phases, in which the first phase consisted of creating the PBPK model for healthy canines, and in the second phase, this model was adjusted for canines with hepatic impairment.
