Abstract
Background: Propofol accounts for a substantial proportion of medication waste. Evidence-based waste reduction methods are scarce.
Methods: In a retrospective analysis of 331 procedures, the total propofol waste per surgery was compared between manual and syringe pump induction of anaesthesia during total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA), with a syringe pump used to maintain TIVA after induction. The secondary endpoint was the amount of propofol administered. Subgroup analyses examined the influence of biological sex, age, weight or BMI, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status, substance use, and anaesthesia duration on propofol waste.
Results: Syringe pump induction was associated with 32.8% less waste of propofol (P<0.001); this effect was most pronounced in procedures lasting 20-60 min (up to 46.9% less in procedures lasting 20-40 min, P<0.001) and 80-120 min (up to 48.8% less in procedures lasting 100-120 min, P=0.003). The amount of waste was not affected by biological sex, age, weight, BMI, or ASA physical status. Syringe pump induction was consistently associated with less waste, except in patients with obesity. Patients with active substance use had 27.6% more waste with manual induction (P=0.031) but not with syringe pump induction. In patients with and without active substance use, syringe pump induction resulted in less waste (substance use: 48.7% less, P=0.0015; without substance use: 22.7% less, P=0.0045).
Conclusions: Syringe pump induction reduced propofol waste during TIVA, regardless of patient characteristics. Manual induction using a separate syringe should be reconsidered from an environmental and economic viewpoint.
期刊介绍：
The British Journal of Anaesthesia (BJA) is a prestigious publication that covers a wide range of topics in anaesthesia, critical care medicine, pain medicine, and perioperative medicine. It aims to disseminate high-impact original research, spanning fundamental, translational, and clinical sciences, as well as clinical practice, technology, education, and training. Additionally, the journal features review articles, notable case reports, correspondence, and special articles that appeal to a broader audience.
The BJA is proudly associated with The Royal College of Anaesthetists, The College of Anaesthesiologists of Ireland, and The Hong Kong College of Anaesthesiologists. This partnership provides members of these esteemed institutions with access to not only the BJA but also its sister publication, BJA Education. It is essential to note that both journals maintain their editorial independence.
Overall, the BJA offers a diverse and comprehensive platform for anaesthetists, critical care physicians, pain specialists, and perioperative medicine practitioners to contribute and stay updated with the latest advancements in their respective fields.
