Published: September 2006

An HPLC-MS with electrospray ionization method for the determination of remifentanil in human plasma samples, pre-treated with SPE cartridge, has been developed and validated. Ionisation was performed by positive-ion electrospray and quadrupole filter mass spectrometer operated in the single ion-recording mode. Pre-treatment was performed using Waters Oasis((R)) SPE cartridges. Chromatographic separation was achieved in isocratic elution using a X-Terra C8 5 microm, 150 mm x 2.1 mm i.d. column. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of water, methanol and acetonitrile (86:10:4, v/v/v) containing 0.1% of formic acid. The method showed to be linear in the range between 0.5 and 48.0 ng/ml, the estimated LOD is 0.18 ng/ml and the LOQ is 0.5 ng/ml. The method can be used to quantify remifentanil in plasma samples taken from adult and newborn patients in a range suitable for clinical studies.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block (S-FICB) in patients undergoing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation surgery for intertrochanteric fracture (ITF).

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 95 patients with ITF undergoing PFNA internal fixation surgery in the First People's Hospital of Yong Kang from March 2021 to August 2023 was performed. Among them, 49 patients received general anesthesia (GA; GA group) and 46 patients received S-FICB combined with general anesthesia (S-FICB group).

Background: Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are considered more sensitive to opioids and at increased risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression. Nonetheless, whether OSA treatment (continuous positive airway pressure, CPAP; or bilevel positive airway pressure, BIPAP) modifies this risk remains unknown. Greater opioid sensitivity can arise from altered pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics.

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients under mechanical ventilation experience mild-to-severe pain. International guidelines emphasise the importance and benefits of multimodal analgesia to minimise opioid consumption and its side effects. However, no recommendation about drugs or protocol has been formulated.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of preemptive hydromorphone analgesia on postoperative delirium and stress response in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 167 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Xi'an Central Hospital between June 2021 and November 2023. Patients were categorized into an observation group (n=87) receiving preemptive hydromorphone hydrochloride analgesia and a control group (n=80) without preemptive analgesia.
