AI Article Synopsis

  • This study evaluated how esketamine affects the relationship between remifentanil dosage and cardiovascular responses during endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia with propofol.
  • Patients aged 18-65 were divided into two groups: one received esketamine before anesthesia, while the other received saline.
  • Results showed that esketamine significantly lowered the effective concentration (EC) of remifentanil needed to manage cardiovascular responses during intubation compared to the control group.

Article Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of esketamine on the dose-effect relationship between remifentanil and the cardiovascular response to endotracheal intubation during target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol.

Methods: Patients underwent elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, aged 18-65 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists class I or II, 18 kg/m ≤ body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m, were randomly divided into the control (group C) and esketamine groups (group E). Before anesthesia induction, group E received an intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine, while group C received an equal dose of physiological saline. TCI of propofol to the effect-site concentration (EC) of 3.0 μg/mL, and then TCI of remifentanil to the effect room and intravenous injection of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg after MOAA/S was 0. Endotracheal intubation was performed after 2 min. Dixon's modified sequential method was used, and the initial EC of remifentanil was 3.0 ng/mL. The EC of remifentanil was determined according to the intubation response of the previous patient, with an adjacent concentration gradient of 0.3 ng/mL. The EC and EC values and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined using probit regression analysis.

Results: The EC for cardiovascular response inhibition to endotracheal intubation using remifentanil was 3.91 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.59-4.33 ng/mL) and EC was 4.66 ng/mL (95% CI: 4.27-6.23 ng/mL) with TCI of propofol 3.0 μg/mL. After intravenous administration of 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine, the EC of remifentanil was 3.56 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.22-3.99 ng/mL) and EC was 4.31 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.91-5.88 ng/mL).

Conclusions: Combined with TCI of propofol 3.0 μg/mL for anesthesia induction, esketamine significantly reduced the EC and EC of remifentanil to inhibit the cardiovascular response to endotracheal intubation.

Trial Registration: The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry ( www.chictr.org.cn ; registration number: ChiCTR2200064932; date of registration:24/10/2022).

Emergency Department, Landspitali - The National University Hospital of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland, Faculty of Medicine, University of Iceland, Reykjavik, Iceland.

A case is reported of a man in his 70s that presented to the emergency department due to difficulty swallowing after a fall. He was found to have a large retropharyngeal hematoma, which led to complete airway obstruction about an hour after the injury. As oral endotracheal intubation was impossible due to the bleeding, an emergency cricothyrotomy was performed in an ambulance by an emergency medicine trainee.

Background/purpose: One of the causes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is aspiration of oropharyngeal fluid containing pathogenic microorganisms into the lower respiratory tract. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether antibiotic ointment applied to the oral cavity can reduce the number of bacteria in the fluid on the cuff of a tracheal cannula.

Materials And Methods: Tetracycline ointment was applied intraorally once to a patient under endotracheal intubation by postoperative tracheostomy for oral cancer.

Background: A previous study showed that airway ultrasound, specifically the distance from the skin to the hyoid bone (DSHB), may be correlated with a higher risk of difficult mask ventilation (DMV). However, the study was conducted in Italy and lacks data for the Asian and Thai populations. This study aimed to predict DMV using pre-operative ultrasonography to measure the DSHB and from the skin to the thyroid isthmus (DSTI) in Thai patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

Description of current status of implementation and management of cardiac arrest in China.

Emergency Department, The State Key Laboratory for Complex, Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Variation in the incidence, survival rate and factors associated with survival after cardiac arrest in China is reported. Some studies have tried to fill the knowledge gap regarding the epidemiology of cardiac arrest in China but were unable to identify reasons for the reported differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe Chinese management of cardiac arrest, particularly from the perspective of compression, ventilation, monitoring, treatment, and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Effects of early palliative care intervention on medical resource use among end-of-life patients.

Background: In Taiwan, as the population ages, palliative care services (PCS) have expanded significantly to include comprehensive benefit plans for critically ill individuals, supported by reimbursements from the National Health Insurance program. However, incorporating palliative care into the medical management of these patients presents several challenges. We aim to evaluate the effects of palliative care interventions on medical resources in end-of-life scenarios, to promote earlier palliative care access and provide high-quality healthcare services for patients.
