Background: Ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic derived from propofol, exhibits high lipophilicity. Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics may vary across different body mass indices (BMI) categories, but data on its optimal dosing as well as its safety and efficacy during colonoscopy anesthesia in varying BMI groups are lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ciprofol during anesthesia for painless colonoscopy in patients with varying BMI, and to explore the correlation between BMI and induction dose.

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.

: 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.

Background: Ciprofol, a novel intravenous anesthetic, exhibits similar sedation mechanisms and pharmacokinetic properties to propofol. However, ciprofol demonstrates greater potency and is associated with reduced injection pain compared to propofol. Given the varying sensitivities to anesthetic agents across different age groups, this study aims to determine the median effective dose (ED) of ciprofol required to suppress the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion response in both young and older adult patients, as well as to assess its potential adverse reactions.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how the pharmacokinetics of propofol—specifically its required concentrations—varies in different phases (dissection, anhepatic, and neohepatic) during liver transplantation.
  • It involved 20 patients with chronic liver disease, and used a target-controlled infusion method to adjust propofol levels based on the bispectral index (BIS), which measures consciousness levels.
  • Results showed that the mean target concentration of propofol was highest during the dissection phase, significantly decreasing during the anhepatic and neohepatic phases, indicating a need for lower propofol dosages in those latter stages.
