The bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to guide anesthetic agents' doses may play a significant role in the recovery time. This study compared recovery time after Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) of propofol with sevoflurane anesthesia by using BIS monitoring during vitrectomy surgery. \u0000Methodology: This was a prospective observational, randomized study on 40 patients aged 18–65 y, physical status ASA I–II, body mass index (BMI) 18–30 kg/m2, who underwent vitrectomy surgery. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups, Group P – the TCI propofol group, and Group S – the sevoflurane group. Subjects in the Group P received TCI propofol (Schnider), and subjects in the Group S received sevoflurane for anesthesia maintenance, with a targeted BIS score of 40–60. Inj. fentanyl 1 µg/kg was administered if there was an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and/or BIS that could not be overcome by increasing the dose of TCI propofol or sevoflurane. Recovery time was calculated from when the maintenance regimen was stopped until the patient was able to obey simple commands. Recovery time, fentanyl consumption, postoperative agitation, nausea and vomiting incidence were noted and analyzed with SPSS v21.0 for Windows. T–Test or Mann–Whitney U test was performed to analyze the data. \u0000Result: Recovery time in the Group P [11.5 (5–25) min)] was not significantly different from the Group S [9 (4–18) min, p = 0.139]. Total fentanyl consumption was higher in the Group P than in the Group S (1.765 vs. 1.428 µg/kg). The frequency of agitation during recovery was higher in the Group S than in the Group P (30% vs. 20%) \u0000Conclusion: There was no significant difference in recovery time between target controlled infusion of propofol and BIS controlled sevoflurane anesthesia in vitrectomy.

The study conducted a retrospective analysis of 122 medical charts of deceased patients with COVID-19 who were hospitalized in a communal non-profit enterprise “Kyiv city clinical hospital №17” for the period from September 2020 to November 2021.\u0000Results and discussion. The overall mortality among patients with COVID-19 was 9.3%, in the intensive care unit (ICU) – 48.4%. The most common causes of death in patients with COVID-19 were: respiratory failure (RF) – 100% of cases, pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute heart failure (AHF) - about 60%.

The majority of cases of primary hyperparathyreosis (PHPT) due to solitary adenoma and require the target surgery. Research of new anesthesia/analgesia methods, which afford to have an opioid-sparing effect, is going. Methods. 127 patients with PHPT were divided into 3 groups: the group STI-BCSPB (n=26) was used combined general anesthesia (GA) with sevoflurane (SEV), the tracheal intubation (TI) with the myorelaxant introduction and bilateral cervical superficial plexus blockade (BCSPB); the group STI (n=82) was used SEV anaesthesia with IT and no BCSPB; the group PLM-BCSPB (n=19) was provided propofol (P) GA with protection air-ways by laryngeal mask (LM) and BCSPB. In both groups (STI-BCSPB and PLM-BCSPB) were used co-analgesics, such as dexamethasone (DXM) 8 mg IV, 2% lidocaine (L) 1,0-1,5 mg/kg IV, metamizole (M) or paracetamol (P) 1 g IV, dexketoprofen (DKTP) 50 mg IV as pre-emptive analgesia 30 min before surgery. Ketamine 25 mg IV was used for induction anaesthesia in these groups. In STI group only opioid with P were used for induction of GA. Duration of surgery (DoS), anaesthesia (DoA), opioid consumption, time from the operation ending until the eyes opening (EyOp), desaturation was measured. All data M±m\u0000Results. DoS for STI-BCSPB, STI and PLM-BCSPB was respectively 38.7±2.7, 37.8±1.3 and 35.6±1.7 min (NS), DoA was respectively 63.8±3.1, 59.4±1.4 m and 53,8±2.7 min (p= 0.028 STI vs PLM-BCSPB, p= 0.024 STI-BCSPB vs PLM-BCSPB, the difference is significant (DS).

Desaturation (SpO2 below 92%) due to residual sedation and the effect of muscles relaxants was observed in 39 (47.6%) and 11 (42,3%) patients in STI and STI-BCSPB during the first 30 min postop compared to 2 cases (10.5%) in PLM-BCSPB (both STI groups were DS vs PLM-BCSPB, chi-square test). The dose of intra-op fentanyl was 334.3±17.1, 256.5±16.9 197.3±15.3 mcg in STI, STI-BCSPB and PLM-BCSPB respectively, (DS for PLM-BCSPB vs other groups, DS between STI groups).\u0000Conclusions. Combine methods GA with BCSPB have some benefits over mono GA. Co-analgesics afford to achieve an opioidsparing effect. Under ectomy of single parathyroid adenoma, the use of propofol and BSCPB with the laryngeal mask without muscles relaxants seems more preferable compared to sevoflurane anesthesia with BBSCP and tracheal intubation due to the shorter anesthesia duration, time to eye-opening after surgery, lower desaturation frequency.","PeriodicalId":7735,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain & Intensive Care","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80821166","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}
