However, breathing concentrated oxygen can cause hyperoxia, and central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT). This study aims to review the literature describing hyperoxic ventilation's effect on the electroencephalogram (EEG), thus exploring the potential for real-time detection of impending CNS-OT seizure. <strong>Methods:</strong> We searched Medline, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles that reported EEG measures accompanying hyperoxic ventilation (FiO₂ = 1.0) in healthy participants. We included peer-reviewed journal articles, books, and government reports with no language or date restrictions. Randomised controlled trials and cross-over studies were included; case reports were excluded. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa scale to evaluate evidence quality. <strong>Results:</strong> Our search strategy returned 1025 unique abstracts; we analysed the full text of 40 articles; 22 articles (16 studies) were included for review. Study cohorts were typically small, and comprised of male non-divers. We discovered a variety of EEG analysis methods: studies performed spectral analysis (n = 12), the analysis of sensory-evoked potentials (n = 4), connectivity/complexity analysis (n = 3), source localization (n = 1), and expert qualitative analyses (n = 4). Studies of severe exposures (long duration at hyperbaric pressure) typically reported qualitative measures, and studies of mild exposures typically reported quantitative measures.\u0000<strong>Conclusions:</strong> There is a need for a large randomised controlled trial (RCT) reporting quantitative measures to better understand hyperoxic ventilation's effect on EEG, thus enabling the development of real-time monitoring of CNS-OT risk.","PeriodicalId":501303,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Anesthesia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142256109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The persistent pain affects quality of life and satisfaction with surgery. Intravenous paracetamol and mannitol, known to have analgesic and antipyretic properties, may help relieve moderate-to-severe post-operative pain. This trial aims to assess their effectiveness and safety in managing chronic post-thoracotomy pain in patients with lung cancer. This prospective double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted at a single center. A total of 856 patients who will undergo thoracoscopic radical surgery for lung cancer will be enrolled and randomly assigned to test (intravenous paracetamol and mannitol) and control (intravenous normal saline) groups in a 1:1 ratio (428 patients in each group). Efficacy will be evaluated in terms of the incidence of chronic post-thoracotomy pain at 3 months (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes will include the dosage of propofol and remifentanil, numerical rating scale pain scores, number of times the patient-controlled intravenous analgesia button is pressed, occurrence of post-operative nausea and vomiting and respiratory depression, time to first flatus and ambulation after surgery, length of hospital stay, surgeon and patient satisfaction, and incidence of chronic post-thoracotomy pain at 6 and 12 months after surgery. Quality of daily life will be evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Intention-to-treat analysis will also be conducted.

Ischaemia–reperfusion injury has also been associated with IPM. Ischaemic injury exposes the liver cells to hypoxia, adenosine triphosphate depletion, pH changes, and cellular metabolic stress, all of which can lead to cell damage and death. Reperfusion injury is caused by microcirculatory dysfunction, hypoxia, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. The pathophysiological mechanism of ischaemia-reperfusion injury is hyperkalaemia. Hyperkalaemia is closely related to the electrophysiological activity of the myocardium. Acute hyperkalaemia is associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac arrest.

Acupuncture may be a noninvasive intervention to reduce blood pressure fluctuations but has not yet been studied. This study aims to determine whether acupuncture can be used to reduce blood pressure fluctuations during surgery, especially in the early stages. Methods and analysis: This is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial with a parallel-group design. Thirty adult patients scheduled to undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy are eligible. Participants who consent will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the acupuncture or placebo group. They will be followed up for at least 14 days to assess the safety of the intervention, general anesthesia, and surgery. We will compare the differences between the highest and lowest mean blood pressures from anesthesia induction to the post incision period as the primary endpoint. As secondary outcomes, systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressures will be compared at each predetermined time point. Incidence of hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia, and bradycardia will be counted separately. The use of remifentanil at the early stage of surgery, the rate of surgical discontinuation, and the length of hospital stay will be assessed as surrogate indicators of stable general anesthesia and surgical procedures. For patient reported outcomes, Spielbergers State Trait Anxiety Inventory and EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 5 Levels will evaluate the change in anxiety and overall quality of life. Another non pharmacological intervention may contribute to surgery by maintaining blood pressure fluctuations within a stable range during the early postoperative period.\u0000Ethics and dissemination: The study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and approved by the Institutional Review Board of CHA Ilsan Medical Center (ICHA 2022 11 010, date of approval 2023 01 03). This study was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (registration identifier: NCT05720884) and CRiS (registration identifier: KCT0009149). The publication is scheduled for December 2025.

An evaluation of nerve block characteristicsis essential for optimal clinical application. This study compared the sensory blocking characteristics of levobupivacaine to bupivacaine in humans and model animals. Levobupivacaine and bupivacaine were compared for sensory block efficacy using a randomized, double-blinded, crossover study design. Eighteen healthy volunteers were randomized to receive levobupivacaine or bupivacaine by subcutaneous injection into the forearm, followed by the other drug 1 week later with injection order counterbalanced across subjects. Tactile detection and mechanical pain thresholds were determined using von Frey hairs and thermal pain threshold using a thermal stimulator. Effects of levobupivacaine and bupivacaine, on the spiking activity of spinal dorsal horn (SDH) neurons evoked by innocuous or noxious stimuli were also compared in anesthetized Sprague–Dawley rats by in vivo extracellular recordings. There were no significant differences in mechanical and thermal pain thresholds following levobupivacaine or bupivacaine injection at 0.025%, 0.0625%, and 0.125%. There was also no significant difference in tactile detection threshold following levobupivacaine or bupivacaine injection at 0.125%. However, tactile detection threshold was significantly higher after administration of bupivacaine at 0.025% and 0.0625% compared to equivalent doses of levobupivacaine. Subcutaneous injection of bupivacaine at 0.05% also induced significantly greater inhibition of SDH neuron spiking activity evoked by innocuous stimuli compared to an equivalent dose of levobupivacaine, while there was no significant difference in suppression of spiking activity evoked by noxious stimuli. Low-dose bupivacaine induces greater suppression tactile sensation than low-dose levobupivacaine. Thus, low-dose levobupivacaine demonstrates relatively greater blocking selectivity for noxious over innocuous stimuli compared to low-dose bupivacaine. Levobupivacaine may be advantageous for applications where pain must be suppressed but non-nociceptive sensations maintained.","PeriodicalId":501303,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Anesthesia","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141510702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patients were randomized into four dose groups (A–D: 0.0, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg/kg, respectively), and they underwent the same anesthetic induction and maintenance protocols. The primary outcome was pain on awakening, while secondary outcomes included pain scores at 1, 4, 12, and 24 h after awakening; incidences of laryngospasm, bronchospasm, or perioperative stridor; and time to extubation. Intraoperative cardiac events were classified as safety events. Our findings indicated that intravenous lidocaine dose-dependently reduced pain on awakening, with the median effective dose being 1.75 mg/kg. Significant differences were observed between groups A and D (P ≤ 0.001). No incidents of laryngospasm, bronchospasm, or perioperative stridor were observed.
