Background: Prophylactic parenteral administration of antibiotics is strongly recommended to prevent surgical site infection (SSI). Cefoxitin is mainly administered intravenously in colorectal surgery. The current standard method for administering prophylactic antibiotics in adults is to administer a fixed dose quickly before skin incision.

Importance: The closed-loop infusion system can automatically adjust and maintain the depth of anesthesia by using the propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) model under the feedback guidance of the bispectral index (BIS).

Objective: To evaluate the safety and superiority of closed-loop TCI of propofol guided by BIS during maintenance of generalized intravenous anesthesia for preschool children.

Methods: A total of 120 children aged 1-6 years were enrolled and were divided into a closed-loop feedback group (Group C) and an open-loop manual control group (Group O), with 60 participants in each group.

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.

Influence of the type of anaesthesia on acute kidney injury after nephrectomy: a randomised controlled trial.

Anaesthesia

November 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of maintenance anaesthetics (propofol vs. desflurane) on acute kidney injury (AKI) following nephrectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma.
  • A total of 317 patients were analyzed, with a 25% incidence of postoperative AKI, showing no significant difference between the propofol group (27%) and the desflurane group (23%).
  • The conclusion suggests that the choice of anaesthetic does not influence AKI risk, indicating that future research should focus on other modifiable factors contributing to AKI in these patients.
