Sedation allows optimal conditions for the study Objective: To compare the anesthetic efficacy of the inhalation versus intravenous technique for maintenance of sedation in patients undergoing endoscopy. Materials and methods: A longitudinal, randomized clinical study of 32 patients of both sexes ASA I-III, aged 18-80 years undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy, which was randomly divided into 2 groups. In both, intravenous induction with propofol (2-2.5 mg / kg) was performed, Group A remained sedated with propofol infusion (1-2 mg / kg / min); Group B by inhalation with sevoflurane at a concentration of 2 vol% through a nasal cannula with an oxygen flow. Results: Both techniques were performed without registering complications; group A comprised of 15 patients in which only 13% required rescue bolus and a wake-up time of 12 minutes. The group B consisted of 17 patients, with a wake-up time of 7 minutes in whom 35% required salvage bolus. Conclusion: Both anesthetic techniques proved to be safe and effective; patients receiving sevoflurane shortened their stay by 50% in the recovery of the endoscopic unit. Patients who only received propofol presented greater anesthetic depth required a lower rate of rescue boluses. Both techniques evidenced a good comfort level in both the patients and gastroenterologists.","PeriodicalId":73662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical anesthesia and intensive care","volume":"228 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79019564","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 American Society of Anesthesiology in recent years has developed an algorithm to follow in case of presenting a difficult and unexpected airway. In this algorithm, various techniques or mechanisms other than direct laryngoscopy are mentioned, which may at a certain moment resolve a pressing situation. The laryngeal mask for intubation (Fastrach) is a device that has increased its popularity by playing an important role in the management of the anatomically difficult airway allowing adequate oxygenation. It offers advantages such as simplicity and versatility in its placement, as well as being a traumatic for the patient. We decided to carry out this project to obtain an initial experience in the management of the airway with this type of devices whose successful results in other countries have not been corroborated in our hospital. Objective: To demonstrate that the laryngeal mask for intubation (Fastrach) is a useful device for the management of the airway in patients undergoing general anesthesia. Material and method: We studied 50 patients of both genders and ages between 22 and 85 years, physical status ASA I, II or III, scheduled for elective surgery and general anesthetic technique. The number of attempts of Fastrach placement and orotracheal intubation through it, the time in seconds, the hemodynamic and SpO2 values, and finally the complications during and after the procedure (oral bleeding, impossibility to place Fastrach and/or IOT, odynophagia and/or dysphonia). Results: A success rate was obtained for the placement of Fastrach and I.O.T. 94% where 54% was the first attempt, 32% the second and 4% the third attempt. The complications presented were minimal and reached 2%.

And these patients will have self-mutilating behavior and lack of pain sensation. Bradycardia, pulmonary aspiration, convulsion are the important causes of death. Anesthetic management of these patients in pediatric age group is not well described. Here, we report our anesthesia experience in a 3 years-old child who was posted for debridement of right great toe with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Patients with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome should be induced in titrated doses and no analgesia is required because of lack of sensation.

Smooth induction/maintenance, adequate intra/post-operative analgesia and uneventful post-operative recovery are the major objectives to be achieved with the anesthetic plan. The use of Regional Anesthesia (RA) has found to be very safe and effective when combined with General Anesthesia (GA).
