However, a recent meta-analysis showed that there was not significant differences in the first attempt success rate between the long-axis in-plane (LA-IP) method and the short-axis out-of-plane method. In 2023, we started using a novel T-type probe. We can recognize the needle first during the radial artery access with the short-axis view and then dose it with the long-axis view using the T-type probe. Therefore, we hypothesized that the T-type probe-guided method might heighten the first attempt success rate in radial artery catheterization, even for non-expert practitioners, compared with the LA-IP technique. One hundred and fifty adult patients, older than 20 years, ASA I to III, were randomly assigned to the T-type probe-guided group (Group T: n = 75) or the LA-IP group (Group L: n = 75). The primary outcome was the first attempt success rate. The first attempt success rate in Group T (49/71, 69%) was significantly higher than that in Group L (31/68, 46%) (p = 0.0062).

Indeed, most hospitals in Japan were forced to use propofol only for induction of anesthesia with inhalational maintenance. Large amounts of propofol remain in the syringe which exacerbates the problems by increased waste. I propose that use of low dose propofol in combination with a low concentration inhaled anesthetic as an alternative and call this hybrid anesthesia. Several advantages of hybrid anesthesia are evident in the literature. Volatile anesthesia has several disadvantages such as cancer progression, emergence agitation, marked reduction in motor evoked potentials (MEP), laryngospasm with desflurane and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Volatile anesthesia exerts some beneficial actions such as myocardial protection and fast emergence with desflurane. In contrast, total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) provides better survival in patients undergoing radical cancer surgery, reduction in emergence agitation, laryngospasm, PONV and better MEP trace Intraoperative awareness occurs more often during TIVA. When intravenous and volatile anesthesia are combined (hybrid anesthesia), the disadvantages of both methods may be offset by clear advantages. Thus, hybrid anesthesia may, therefore, be a viable anesthetic choice.</p>","PeriodicalId":14997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anesthesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140318377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
