Article Abstract
Background: The endothelial glycocalyx (EG) is an important structure that regulates vascular homeostasis. Deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap is expected to cause substantial EG breakdown owing to the long procedural duration and ischemia- reperfusion injury. This prospective, randomized, controlled study aimed to compare syndecan-1 levels during sevoflurane-remifentanil and propofol-remifentanil anesthesia in patients who underwent DIEP flap breast reconstruction.
Methods: Fifty-one patients were randomized to either sevoflurane (n = 26) or propofol (n = 25) groups. Anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil in combination with either sevoflurane or propofol. The primary endpoint was the concentration of serum syndecan-1 measured at 1 h after surgery.
Results: Fifty patients (98.0%) completed the study. Patients in the propofol group had significantly lower levels of syndecan-1 than patients in the sevoflurane group at 1 h after operation (23.8 ± 1.6 vs. 30.9 ± 1.7 ng/ml, respectively; Bonferroni corrected P = 0.012). There were no significant differences between groups in postoperative complications. The postoperative hospital stay was 8.4 ± 2.5 days in the sevoflurane group and 7.4 ± 1.0 days in the propofol group (P = 0.077).
Conclusions: Propofol-remifentanil anesthesia resulted in lesser increases in syndecan-1 levels compared to increases with sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia in patients who underwent DIEP flap reconstruction. Our results suggest that propofol-remifentanil anesthesia shows protective effects against EG damage during DIEP flap breast reconstruction in contrast to sevoflurane-remifentanil anesthesia.

Postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing thoracotomy: A comparison between total intravenous anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia.

Sang Hi Park, Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, Chungbuk National University Hospital, Korea.
Objective: Propofol is more effective than inhalational anesthesia; however, the results for the management of acute pain remain controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the incidence of acute pain after inhalation anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia among patients who underwent thoracotomy at our hospital.
Methods: We conducted a single center retrospective observational study using data from electronic medical records.
Changes of endotracheal tube cuff pressure and its indicators in laparoscopic resection of colorectal neoplasms: an observational prospective clinical trial.

Article Synopsis
- Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal neoplasms can raise airway pressure, especially if the cuff pressure of the endotracheal tube isn't monitored, leading to potential complications.
- This study involved 122 patients and aimed to identify factors predicting out-of-range tracheal tube cuff pressure during surgery, with waist-to-hip ratio emerging as the best predictor.
- Results indicated that continuous monitoring of cuff pressure is essential for patients with normal BMI, and adjustments may be necessary to maintain safe pressure levels during the procedure.
Heart rate variability analysis for the prediction of pre-arousal during propofol-remifentanil general anaesthesia: A feasibility study.

Accidental awareness during general anaesthesia is a major complication. Despite the routine use of continuous electroencephalographic monitoring, accidental awareness during general anaesthesia remains relatively frequent and constitutes a significant additional cost. The prediction of patients' arousal during general anaesthesia could help preventing accidental awareness and some researchers have suggested that heart rate variability (HRV) analysis contains valuable information about the patient arousal during general anaesthesia.

Background: Ketamine administration during stable propofol anesthesia is known to be associated with an increase in bispectral index (BIS) but a "deepening" in the level of hypnosis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the effect-site concentration of ketamine (CeK) and 2 electroencephalogram (EEG)-derived parameters, the BIS and spectral edge frequency (SEF95), after the administration of a ketamine bolus. Secondary aims included investigating the BIS and SEF95 variations with time and changes in the surgical pleth index (SPI).

Article Synopsis
- Intraoperation hypotension (IOH) during surgery can have negative effects, leading to the routine use of norepinephrine (NE) to manage blood pressure under general anesthesia, although its pharmacokinetics during such conditions are not well understood.
- The study aimed to analyze the pharmacokinetics of NE in healthy volunteers in both awake and general anesthesia states, using a step-up dosing method and measuring plasma concentrations.
- Results indicated that a two-compartment model effectively described NE dynamics, finding that general anesthesia reduced NE clearance by 10%, with weight, age, and session (awake vs. anesthesia) being significant factors affecting its clearance.
