Abstract
Abstract
Propofol administered in conjunction with an opioid such as remifentanil is used to provide total intravenous anesthesia for children. Drugs can be given as infusion controlled manually by the physician or as automated target-controlled infusion that targets plasma or effect site. Smart pumps programmed with pharmacokinetic parameter estimates administer drugs to a preset plasma concentration. A linking rate constant parameter (keo) allows estimation of effect site concentration. There are two parameter sets, named after the first author describing them, that are commonly used in pediatric target-controlled infusion for propofol (Absalom and Kataria) and one for remifentanil (Minto). Propofol validation studies suggest that these parameter estimates are satisfactory for the majority of children. Recommended target concentrations for both propofol and remifentanil depend on the type of surgery, the degree of surgical stimulation, the use of local anesthetic blocks, and the ventilatory status of the patient. The use of processed electroencephalographic monitoring is helpful in pediatric total intravenous anesthesia and target-controlled infusion anesthesia, particularly in the presence of neuromuscular blockade.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative pain represents an important concern when remifentanil is used for total intravenous anesthesia because of its ultrashort half-life. Longer acting opioids, such as sufentanil, have been used during induction of remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia as a means to overcome this shortcoming. However, the effectiveness and safety of such strategy still lacks evidence from randomized clinical trials. Hence, we aimed to assess the postoperative analgesic efficacy and safety of a single dose of sufentanil administered during the induction of remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia. METHODS Forty patients, scheduled for elective open abdominal surgery, were randomized to receive remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia with or without a single dose of sufentanil upon induction. We assessed the postoperative morphine consumption administered through a patient-controlled analgesia pump. Self-reported pain scores and the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, pruritus, agitation, somnolence and respiratory depression were also assessed up to 2 days after surgery. RESULTS The mean difference between the sufentanil and control groups regarding morphine consumption in the post-anesthetic care unit and at 12, 24 and 48h after surgery were -7.2mg (95%CI: -12.5 to -2.1, p<0.001), -3.9mg (95%CI: -11.9 to 4.7, p=0.26), -0.6mg (95%CI: (-12.7 to 12.7, p=0.80), and -1.8mg (95%CI: (-11.6 to 15.6, p=0.94), respectively. Neither self-reported pain nor the incidence of adverse events were significantly different between groups at any time point. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the administration of sufentanil during induction of remifentanil-based total intravenous anesthesia is associated with decreased early postoperative opioid consumption.

Abstract
Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil, and remifentanil are potent opioids. A comprehensive review of the use of fentanyl and its derivatives in the pediatric population was performed using the National Library of Medicine PubMed. Studies were included if they contained original pharmacokinetic parameters or models using established routes of administration in patients younger than 18 years of age. Of 372 retrieved articles, 44 eligible pharmacokinetic studies contained data of 821 patients younger than 18 years of age, including more than 46 preterm infants, 64 full-term neonates, 115 infants/toddlers, 188 children, and 28 adolescents. Underlying diagnoses included congenital heart and pulmonary disease and abdominal disorders. Routes of drug administration were intravenous, epidural, oral-transmucosal, intranasal, and transdermal. Despite extensive use in daily clinical practice, few studies have been performed. Preterm and term infants have lower clearance and protein binding. Pharmacokinetics was not altered by chronic renal or hepatic disease. Analyses of the pooled individual patients' data revealed that clearance maturation relating to body weight could be best described by the Hill function for sufentanil (R 2 = 0.71, B max 876 mL/min, K 50 16.3 kg) and alfentanil (R 2 = 0.70, B max (fixed) 420 mL/min, K 50 28 kg). The allometric exponent for estimation of clearance of sufentanil was 0.99 and 0.75 for alfentanil clearance. Maturation of remifentanil clearance was described by linear regression to bodyweight (R 2 = 0.69). The allometric exponent for estimation of remifentanil clearance was 0.76. For fentanyl, linear regression showed only a weak correlation between clearance and bodyweight in preterm and term neonates (R 2 = 0.22) owing to a lack of data in older age groups. A large heterogeneity regarding study design, clinical setting, drug administration, laboratory assays, and pharmacokinetic estimation was observed between studies introducing bias into the analyses performed in this review. A limitation of this review is that pharmacokinetic data, based on different modes of administration, dosing schemes, and parameter estimation methods, were combined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to describe the anaesthetic management and perianaesthetic complications encountered during hypophysectomy surgery in acromegalic cats. We explored relationships between animal demographic data, the anaesthetic protocol used and presence of perioperative complications. METHODS Cats having undergone hypophysectomy surgery for the treatment of feline acromegaly at a single veterinary referral hospital were identified from hospital records. The anaesthesia records and clinical notes of these animals were retrospectively reviewed. Descriptive statistics were produced and binary logistic regression run to assess for any relationship between patient factors, anaesthetic management and complications during the perioperative period. RESULTS Perianaesthetic complications identified included hypothermia, hypotension, bradycardia and airway obstruction. Mortality at 24 h post-anaesthesia was 8%. The use of alpha (α)2 agonists was associated with a lower incidence of hypotension. Fentanyl infusion was associated with a higher incidence of airway obstruction compared with remifentanil. Subjectively assessed anaesthetic recovery quality had an association with the number of days spent in the intensive care ward postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The anaesthetic management described seems effective for hypophysectomy surgery in cats. Intraoperative complications were common and, while not apparently associated with 24 h patient outcome, drugs and equipment to manage these complications should be available.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Personalized automatic control of medically-induced coma, a critical multi-day therapy in the intensive care unit, could greatly benefit clinical care and further provide a novel scientific tool for investigating how the brain response to anesthetic infusion rate changes during therapy. Personalized control would require real-time tracking of inter- and intra-subject variabilities in the brain response to anesthetic infusion rate while simultaneously delivering the therapy, which has not been achieved. Current control systems for medically-induced coma require a separate offline model fitting experiment to deal with inter-subject variabilities, which would lead to therapy interruption. Removing the need for these offline interruptions could help facilitate clinical feasbility. In addition, current systems do not track intra-subject variabilities. Tracking intra-subject variabilities is essential for studying whether or how the brain response to anesthetic infusion rate changes during therapy. Further, such tracking could enhance control precison and thus help facilitate clinical feasibility. APPROACH Here we develop a personalized closed-loop anesthetic delivery (CLAD) system in a rodent model that tracks both inter- and intra-subject variabilities in real time while simultaneously controlling the anesthetic in closed loop. We tested the CLAD in rats by administrating propofol to control the electroencephalogram (EEG) burst suppression. We first examined whether the CLAD can remove the need for offline model fitting interruption. We then used the CLAD as a tool to study whether and how the brain response to anesthetic infusion rate changes as a function of changes in the depth of medically-induced coma. Finally, we studied whether the CLAD can enhance control compared with prior systems by tracking intra-subject variabilities. MAIN RESULTS The CLAD precisely controlled the EEG burst suppression in each rat without performing offline model fitting experiments. Further, using the CLAD, we discovered that the brain response to anesthetic infusion rate varied during control, and that these variations correlated with the depth of medically-induced coma in a consistent manner across individual rats. Finally, tracking these variations reduced control bias and error by more than 70% compared with prior systems. SIGNIFICANCE This personalized CLAD provides a new tool to study the dynamics of brain response to anesthetic infusion rate and has significant implications for enabling clinically-feasible automatic control of medically-induced coma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The overall goal of this study was to investigate the effects of various anesthetic protocols on the intraoperative responses to intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS). ISMS is a neuroprosthetic approach that targets the motor networks in the ventral horns of the spinal cord to restore function after spinal cord injury. In preclinical studies, ISMS in the lumbosacral enlargement produced standing and walking by activating networks controlling the hindlimb muscles. ISMS implants are placed surgically under anesthesia, and refinements in placement are made based on the evoked responses. Anesthesia can have a significant effect on the responses evoked by spinal neuroprostheses; therefore, in preparation for clinical testing of ISMS, we compared the evoked responses under a common clinical neurosurgical anesthetic protocol with those evoked under protocols commonly used in preclinical studies. APPROACH Experiments were conducted in seven pigs. An ISMS microelectrode array was implanted in the lumbar enlargement and responses to ISMS were measured under three anesthetic protocols: (1) isoflurane, an agent used pre-clinically and clinically, (2) total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol as the main agent commonly used in clinical neurosurgical procedures, (3) TIVA with sodium pentobarbital, an anesthetic agent used mostly preclinically. Responses to ISMS were evaluated based on stimulation thresholds, movement kinematics, and joint torques. Motor evoked potentials (MEP) and plasma concentrations of propofol were also measured. MAIN RESULTS ISMS under propofol anesthesia produced large and functional responses that were not statistically different from those produced under pentobarbital anesthesia. Isoflurane, however, significantly suppressed the ISMS-evoked responses. SIGNIFICANCE This study demonstrated that the choice of anesthesia is critical for intraoperative assessments of motor responses evoked by spinal neuroprostheses. Propofol and pentobarbital anesthesia did not overly suppress the effects of ISMS; therefore, propofol is expected to be a suitable anesthetic agent for clinical intraoperative testing of an intraspinal neuroprosthetic system.

Abstract
The widespread use of remifentanil during total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) has raised concerns about the risk of postoperative remifentanil-associated pain. Although a recent meta-analysis suggests that remifentanil-associated pain is unlikely to occur in patients with TIVA because of the protective effect of co-administered propofol, the evidence is not conclusive. We retrospectively assessed 635 patients who received robotic thyroid surgery under TIVA to evaluate the risk of remifentanil-associated pain. Postoperative pain was evaluated using 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS). Time dependent Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors of treatment-requiring pain (NRS > 4) during the first 48 postoperative hours. Postoperative pain rapidly decreased, and treatment-requiring pain remained in 12.8% (81 out of 635) of patients at 48 hours postoperatively. After adjusting for the time-dependent analgesic consumption, intraoperative use of remifentanil > 0.2 mcg/kg/min was a positive predictor of postoperative pain with a hazard ratio of 1.296 (95% C.I., 1.014–1.656, P = 0.039) during 48 hours after surgery. In conclusion, excessive use of remifentanil during TIVA was associated with increased risk of pain after robotic thyroid surgery. Prospective trials are required to confirm these results and determine whether decreasing remifentanil consumption below the threshold can reduce postoperative pain.

Abstract
Propofol is an intravenous hypnotic drug that is used for induction and maintenance of sedation and general anaesthesia. It exerts its effects through potentiation of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABAA receptor, and has gained widespread use due to its favourable drug effect profile. The main adverse effects are disturbances in cardiopulmonary physiology. Due to its narrow therapeutic margin, propofol should only be administered by practitioners trained and experienced in providing general anaesthesia. Many pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) models for propofol exist. Some are used to inform drug dosing guidelines, and some are also implemented in so-called target-controlled infusion devices, to calculate the infusion rates required for user-defined target plasma or effect-site concentrations. Most of the models were designed for use in a specific and well-defined patient category. However, models applicable in a more general population have recently been developed and published. The most recent example is the general purpose propofol model developed by Eleveld and colleagues. Retrospective predictive performance evaluations show that this model performs as well as, or even better than, PK models developed for specific populations, such as adults, children or the obese; however, prospective evaluation of the model is still required. Propofol undergoes extensive PK and PD interactions with both other hypnotic drugs and opioids. PD interactions are the most clinically significant, and, with other hypnotics, tend to be additive, whereas interactions with opioids tend to be highly synergistic. Response surface modelling provides a tool to gain understanding and explore these complex interactions. Visual displays illustrating the effect of these interactions in real time can aid clinicians in optimal drug dosing while minimizing adverse effects. In this review, we provide an overview of the PK and PD of propofol in order to refresh readers' knowledge of its clinical applications, while discussing the main avenues of research where significant recent advances have been made.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain is one of the major adverse clinical outcomes of cesarean section (CS). In the past few years, researchers and physicians have been optimizing post-operative analgesic modalities, but the results are still undesirable for the parturient. The cytochrome P-450 3A4 (CYP3A4) gene has been reported to contribute significantly to human liver microsomal oxidation of sufentanil and alfentanil. METHODS We detected the frequency of CYP3A4 mutant allele, which is associated with the metabolism of diverse drugs, including opioids used for anesthesia. We then investigated the correlation between sufentanil (an opioid analgesic) consumption and CYP3A4 genetic polymorphism. RESULTS We found the frequency of the CYP3A4∗1G (the mutant form of CYP3A) variant allele to be 0.279 in 71 parturients undergoing cesarean section and 137 age-matched parturients with vaginal delivery. Interestingly, the parturients with homozygous CYP3A4∗1G showed less sufentanil consumption compared with those having the wild-type genotype. CONCLUSION In summary, we found a correlation between CYP3A4 genetic polymorphism and sufentanil consumption. This might be helpful for optimizing the anesthesia strategies and reducing their side effects.

Abstract
Abstract
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
The pharmacokinetics of infused drugs have been modeled without regard for recirculatory or mixing kinetics. We used a unique ketamine dataset with simultaneous arterial and venous blood sampling, during and after separate S(+) and R(–) ketamine infusions, to develop a simplified recirculatory model of arterial and venous plasma drug concentrations.
Methods
S(+) or R(–) ketamine was infused over 30 min on two occasions to 10 healthy male volunteers. Frequent, simultaneous arterial and forearm venous blood samples were obtained for up to 11 h. A multicompartmental pharmacokinetic model with front-end arterial mixing and venous blood components was developed using nonlinear mixed effects analyses.
Results
A three-compartment base pharmacokinetic model with additional arterial mixing and arm venous compartments and with shared S(+)/R(–) distribution kinetics proved superior to standard compartmental modeling approaches. Total pharmacokinetic flow was estimated to be 7.59 ± 0.36 l/min (mean ± standard error of the estimate), and S(+) and R(–) elimination clearances were 1.23 ± 0.04 and 1.06 ± 0.03 l/min, respectively. The arm-tissue link rate constant was 0.18 ± 0.01 min–1, and the fraction of arm blood flow estimated to exchange with arm tissue was 0.04 ± 0.01.
Conclusions
Arterial drug concentrations measured during drug infusion have two kinetically distinct components: partially or lung-mixed drug and fully mixed-recirculated drug. Front-end kinetics suggest the partially mixed concentration is proportional to the ratio of infusion rate and total pharmacokinetic flow. This simplified modeling approach could lead to more generalizable models for target-controlled infusions and improved methods for analyzing pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic data.

Abstract
Although surrogate measures to quantify pain intensity have been commercialised, there is a need to develop a new index with improved accuracy. The aim of this study was to develop a new analgesic index using nasal photoplethysmography data. The specially designed sensor was placed between the columella and the nasal septum to acquire nasal photoplethysmography in surgical patients. Nasal photoplethysmography and Surgical Pleth Index® (GE Healthcare) data were obtained for 14 min both in the absence (pre-operatively) or presence (postoperatively) of pain in a group of surgical patients, each patient acting as their own control. Various dynamic photoplethysmography variables were extracted to quantify pain intensity; the most accurate index was selected using logistic regression as a classifier. The area under the curve of the receiver-operating characteristic curve was measured to evaluate the accuracy of final model predictions. In total, 12,012 heart beats from 89 patients were used to develop a new Nasal Photoplethysmography Index for analgesic depth quantification. The two-variable model (a combination of diastolic peak point variation and heart beat interval variation) was most accurate in discriminating between the presence and absence of pain (numerical rating scale (NRS) ≥ 3). The accuracy and area under the curve of the receiver-operating characteristic curve for the Nasal Photoplethysmography Index were 75.3% and 0.8018, respectively, and 64.8% and 0.7034, respectively, for the Surgical Pleth Index. The Nasal Photoplethysmography Index clearly distinguished pain (NRS ≥ 3) in awake surgical patients with postoperative pain. The Nasal Photoplethysmography Index performed better than the Surgical Pleth Index. Further validation studies are needed to evaluate its feasibility to quantify pain intensity during general anaesthesia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Desirable product attributes for treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain in many medically supervised settings are rapid onset and a route of administration not requiring intravenous access. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of sublingually administered tablets containing 15 or 30 µg of sufentanil are described.
Methods
Blood was sampled from healthy subjects (four studies, 122 subjects) and patients (seven studies, 944 patients). Studies in healthy subjects determined bioavailability, effect of inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4, and the plasma concentration profile with single and hourly sublingual doses. Studies in patients evaluated effects of weight, age, sex, and organ impairment on apparent clearance. Noncompartmental and mixed-effect population methods were used.
Results
Bioavailability of a single sublingual tablet was 52%, decreasing to 35% with repeat dosing. Ketoconazole (CYP3A4 inhibitor) increased maximum plasma concentration 19% and increased the area under the curve 77%. After a single 30-µg dose, plasma concentrations reached the published sufentanil analgesic threshold (24 pg/ml) within 30 min, peaked at 1 h, and then decreased below therapeutic concentrations by ~3 h. With hourly administration, plasma concentrations plateaued by the fifth dose. Time for concentrations to decrease 50% from maximal values was similar after 1 dose (2.5 ± 0.85 h) and 12 doses (2.5 ± 0.72 h). Clearance increased with weight, decreased with age, and was not affected by renal or hepatic impairment.
Conclusions
The time course of a single 30-µg dose was consistent with onset of analgesia and redosing frequency observed in clinical trials. Sublingual sufentanil tablets provide the opportunity to noninvasively and rapidly treat moderate-to-severe pain in a monitored setting.

Abstract
Fentanyl and its derivatives sufentanil, alfentanil, and remifentanil are potent opioids. A comprehensive review of the use of fentanyl and its derivatives in the pediatric population was performed using the National Library of Medicine PubMed. Studies were included if they contained original pharmacokinetic parameters or models using established routes of administration in patients younger than 18 years of age. Of 372 retrieved articles, 44 eligible pharmacokinetic studies contained data of 821 patients younger than 18 years of age, including more than 46 preterm infants, 64 full-term neonates, 115 infants/toddlers, 188 children, and 28 adolescents. Underlying diagnoses included congenital heart and pulmonary disease and abdominal disorders. Routes of drug administration were intravenous, epidural, oral-transmucosal, intranasal, and transdermal. Despite extensive use in daily clinical practice, few studies have been performed. Preterm and term infants have lower clearance and protein binding. Pharmacokinetics was not altered by chronic renal or hepatic disease. Analyses of the pooled individual patients' data revealed that clearance maturation relating to body weight could be best described by the Hill function for sufentanil (R 2 = 0.71, B max 876 mL/min, K 50 16.3 kg) and alfentanil (R 2 = 0.70, B max (fixed) 420 mL/min, K 50 28 kg). The allometric exponent for estimation of clearance of sufentanil was 0.99 and 0.75 for alfentanil clearance. Maturation of remifentanil clearance was described by linear regression to bodyweight (R 2 = 0.69). The allometric exponent for estimation of remifentanil clearance was 0.76. For fentanyl, linear regression showed only a weak correlation between clearance and bodyweight in preterm and term neonates (R 2 = 0.22) owing to a lack of data in older age groups. A large heterogeneity regarding study design, clinical setting, drug administration, laboratory assays, and pharmacokinetic estimation was observed between studies introducing bias into the analyses performed in this review. A limitation of this review is that pharmacokinetic data, based on different modes of administration, dosing schemes, and parameter estimation methods, were combined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Renal replacement therapy may enhance the elimination of barbiturates. Pentobarbital clearance during continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) has not been described previously. We report a patient case involving the measurement of serial pentobarbital levels during CVVH and review relevant literature characterizing extracorporeal pentobarbital elimination. METHODS: The following is a retrospective report of a previously healthy 26-year-old woman who sustained a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and required administration of pentobarbital on hospital day 0 for intracranial pressure (ICP) control. Given concern for interference with the patient's ongoing neurologic assessments, pentobarbital was discontinued on hospital day 4. The patient's hospital course was complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI), requiring initiation of CVVH on hospital day 5. Daily serum pentobarbital levels were obtained during CVVH. RESULTS: While on CVVH, the patient's estimated pentobarbital clearance ranged from 6 to 44 mL/min and the elimination half-life ranged from 17.7 to 65.9 hours. Based on reductions in pentobarbital clearance during CVVH interruption, the elimination of drug was dependent upon extracorporeal removal in this patient. CVVH facilitated pentobarbital elimination in a manner approaching endogenous clearance in healthy individuals. CONCLUSION: We report clinically significant pentobarbital removal by CVVH in a patient with severe TBI. Application of CVVH may expedite reliable neurologic assessments and facilitate the application of clinical brain death examination following pentobarbital exposure.

Abstract
Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has emerged as an alternative to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for removal of renal tumors. Several advantages of robotic surgery have been reported, but there is no comparative study on postoperative pain between the 2 techniques. Therefore, we compared the postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) of pain intensity between patients who underwent LPN and those who underwent RAPN.We included 705 patients who underwent either LPN (n = 200) or RAPN (n = 505) for renal tumors between January 2000 and September 2016. After 1:1 propensity score matching, the final analysis included 142 patients each in the LPN and RAPN groups. The primary endpoint was postoperative NRS of pain intensity. The secondary endpoints were opioid requirement, opioid-related complications, and duration of hospital stay.Preoperative and intraoperative values of propensity score matched patients (n = 284) were not significantly different between the LPN and RAPN groups. There was no significant difference in NRS of pain intensity between the 2 groups. Opioid requirement was different between the 2 groups on postoperative day (POD) 0 (12.4 vs 11.3 mg of morphine-equivalent dose), but not from POD 1 to POD 4. The incidence of opioid-related complications and duration of hospital stay were not significantly different between the 2 groups.Postoperative pain was not significantly different between patients who underwent RAPN and those who underwent LPN. This result provides a potentially useful knowledge of postoperative pain characteristics in RAPN and LPN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative and analgesic properties which is also used in pediatric anesthesia. Although the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine have been studied in pediatric patients, there are no data for Chinese children available. As alterations in pharmacokinetics due to ethnicity cannot be ruled out, it was the aim of this study to characterize the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine in Chinese pediatric patients. METHODS Thirty-nine children aged 1-9 years undergoing surgery were enrolled in the study. Dexmedetomidine was administered as short intravenous infusion of 1-2 µg/kg in 10 min. Venous blood samples were drawn until 480 min after stopping of infusion. Dexmedetomidine plasma concentrations were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic modeling was performed by population analysis using linear compartment models. RESULTS Data of 36 patients (age 1-9 years, weight 10-27 kg) were analyzed. The pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine were best described by a two-compartment model with an allometric power model and estimates standardized to 70 kg body weight. The population estimates (95 % CI) per 70 kg bodyweight were: clearance 36.2 (33.3-41.1) l/h, central volume of distribution 84.3 (70.3-91.4) l, intercompartmental clearance 82.8 (63.6-136.6) l/h, peripheral volume of distribution 114 (95-149) l, and terminal half-life 4.4 (3.6-5.3) h. Age did not show any influence on weight-adjusted parameters. CONCLUSIONS Chinese children showed a similar clearance, but larger volumes of distribution and longer terminal half-life when compared to studies in Caucasians.

Abstract
This review focuses on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in neonates and infants. The unique physiology of this population differs from that of adults and impacts drug handling. Morphine and remifentanil are described as examples of older versus recently developed opiates to compare and contrast pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in infants. Exploration of genetics affecting both pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of opiates is an area of active research, as is the investigation of a new class of mu-opiate-binding agents which seem selective for analgesic pathways while having less activity in pathways linked to side effects. The kinetics of acetaminophen and of ketorolac as examples of parenteral non-steroidal analgesics in infants are also discussed. The growth in regional anesthesia for peri-operative analgesia in infants can fill an important role minimizing intra-operative anesthetic exposure to opioids and transitioning to post-operative care. Use of multi-modal techniques is recommended to decrease undesirable opiate-related side effects in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Patients in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU) are subject to numerous physical and mental stresses. While most of these cannot be completely eliminated, intensivists have many tools in their armamentarium to alleviate patients' pain and suffering. This chapter will consider the importance of analgesia and sedation in the CTICU and the relevant consequences of over- or under-treatment. We will examine the tools available for monitoring and titrating analgesia and sedation in critically ill patients. The major classes of medications available will be reviewed, with particular attention to their clinical effects, metabolism and excretion, and hemodynamic characteristics. Lastly, experimental evidence will be assessed regarding the best strategies for treatment of pain and agitation in the CTICU, including use of non-pharmacologic adjuvants.

Abstract
Australian guidelines state “Following brief surgery or procedures with short acting anaesthetic drugs, the patient may be fit to drive after a normal night's sleep. After long surgery or procedures requiring longer lasting anaesthesia, it may not be safe to drive for 24 hours or more”. The increasing use of the short-acting anaesthetic drug propofol as a solitary sedative medication for simple endoscopy procedures suggests a need to review this blanket policy. Thirty patients presenting for elective day surgery were recruited as volunteers for a pre-procedure driving simulation study and randomised to propofol or placebo arms. Driving ability was assessed at baseline and then, in the propofol group, at three effect-site concentrations. Driving impairment at these concentrations of propofol was compared to that of a third group of volunteers with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.05% (g/100 ml). Driving impairment at 0.2 μg/ml propofol effect-site concentration was not statistically different to placebo. Impairment increased with propofol effect-site concentration ( P=0.002) and at 0.4 μg/ml it was similar to that found with a blood alcohol concentration of 50 mg/100 ml (0.05%). Plasma propofol concentrations of 0.2 μg/ml, as might be found approximately an hour after short (<1 hour duration) propofol-only sedation for endoscopy, were not associated with driving impairment in our young cohort of volunteers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review will focus on the pharmacokinetics (with an emphasis on the context-sensitive half-time), pharmacodynamics, and hemodynamic characteristics of the most commonly used sedative/hypnotic, analgesic, and IV anesthetics used in cardiac intensive care. In addition, the assessment of pain and agitation and withdrawal will be reviewed. DATA SOURCE MEDLINE, PubMed. CONCLUSIONS Children in the cardiac ICU often require one or more components of general anesthesia: analgesia, amnesia (sedation and hypnosis), and muscle relaxation to facilitate mechanical ventilation, to manage postoperative pain, to perform necessary procedures, and to alleviate fear and anxiety. Furthermore, these same children are often vulnerable to hemodynamic instability due to unique underlying physiologic vulnerabilities. An assessment of hemodynamic goals, postoperative procedures to be performed, physiologic vulnerabilities, and the intended duration of mechanical ventilation should be made. Based on this assessment, the optimal selection of sedatives, analgesics, and if necessary, muscle relaxants can then be made.

Abstract
Anxiety and phobia in dental procedures are common deterrents for patients visiting the dental care unit. For these individuals, procedural sedation may aid in completion of dental treatments. In most cases, the patients are conscious during sedation, thereby allowing spontaneous ventilation. Intravenous sedation (IVS) is widely used during dental treatment to relieve patient anxiety. IVS is the most effective route of administration to achieve this goal, but it requires advanced training, more than that provided during undergraduate education. During IVS, rapid onset, repetitive drug administration, easy titration, and rapid recovery from sedation can be achieved. However, conscious sedation during IVS can result in deep sedation that can cause respiratory and cardiovascular depression. Therefore, the characteristics of intravenous sedatives should be known. The purpose of this review is to discuss the characteristics and usage of intravenous sedatives currently used for dental procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbed brain metabolism is a signature of primary damage and/or precipitates secondary injury processes after severe brain injury. Sedatives and analgesics target electrophysiological functioning and are as such well-known modulators of brain energy metabolism. Still unclear, however, is how sedatives impact glucose metabolism and whether they differentially influence brain metabolism in normally active, healthy brain and critically impaired, injured brain. We therefore examined and compared the effects of anesthetic drugs under both critical (<1 mmol/L) and noncritical (>1 mmol/L) extracellular brain glucose levels. METHODS We performed an explorative, retrospective analysis of anesthetic drug administration and brain glucose concentrations, obtained by bedside microdialysis, in 19 brain-injured patients. RESULT Our investigations revealed an inverse linear correlation between brain glucose and both the concentration of extracellular glutamate (Pearson r=-0.58, P=0.01) and the lactate/glucose ratio (Pearson r=-0.55, P=0.01). For noncritical brain glucose levels, we observed a positive linear correlation between midazolam dose and brain glucose (P<0.05). For critical brain glucose levels, extracellular brain glucose was unaffected by any type of sedative. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the use of anesthetic drugs may be of limited value in attempts to influence brain glucose metabolism in injured brain tissue.

Abstract
Opioid administration delivered intravenously (IV) by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) devices has been an important development in addressing insufficient management of acute pain in the postsurgical setting. However, IV PCA has several disadvantages, including operator error, risk of patient exposure to analgesic gaps, IV line patency issues, and risk of catheter-related infection, all of which contribute to the total cost of care. Morphine, the most commonly used opioid in IV PCA, has a relatively slow onset of analgesia, which may leave patients with inadequate initial pain control and at risk of opioid dose-stacking. Sufentanil is an opioid with no major active metabolites and a rapid onset of analgesia. The sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) with a 20-minute lockout and other safety features is a novel noninvasive PCA system in development for on-demand relief of moderate to severe acute pain in the hospital setting. Data from phase 3 trials of the use of SSTS after elective major open abdominal and orthopedic surgery show that analgesia is rapidly achieved, with a longer mean interdosing interval compared with IV PCA morphine (81 vs 47 minutes) and a high level of patient and nurse satisfaction. These data suggest that SSTS may also aid in the avoidance of some of the pitfalls inherent with IV PCA, which may help reduce hospital costs associated with IV PCA-related issues. This article describes the evolution, benefits, issues, and costs associated with IV PCA and reviews data from preclinical studies of sufentanil through SSTS phase 3 trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This article reviews pharmacotherapies currently available to manage sedation, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade for pediatric cardiac critical patients. DATA SOURCES The knowledge base of an expert panel of pharmacists, cardiac anesthesiologists, and a cardiac critical care physician involved in the care of pediatric cardiac critical patients was combined with a comprehensive search of the medical literature to generate the data source. STUDY SELECTION The panel examined all studies relevant to management of sedation, analgesia, and neuromuscular blockade in pediatric cardiac critical patients. DATA EXTRACTION Each member of the panel was assigned a specific subset of the studies relevant to their particular area of expertise (pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and clinical care) to review and analyze. DATA SYNTHESIS The panel members each crafted a comprehensive summary of the literature relevant to their area of expertise. The panel, as a whole, then collaborated to cohesively summarize all the available, relevant literature. CONCLUSIONS In the cardiac ICU, management of the cardiac patient requires an individualized sedative and analgesic strategy that maintains hemodynamic stability. Multiple pharmacological therapies exist to achieve these goals and should be selected based on the patient's underlying physiology, hemodynamic vulnerabilities, desired level of sedation and analgesia, and the projected short- or long-term recovery trajectory.

Abstract
The use of opioids may seem to be a double-edged sword; they provide straight analgesic and antihyperalgesic effects initially, but subsequently are associated with the expression of acute opioid tolerance (AOT) and opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH) that have been reported in experimental studies and clinical observations. It has been suggested that opioids can induce an acute tolerance and hyperalgesia in dose- and/or time-dependent manners even when used within the clinically accepted doses. Recently, remifentanil has been used for pain management in clinical anesthesia and in the intensive care units because of its rapid onset and offset. We reviewed articles analyzing AOT and/or OIH by remifentanil and focused on the following issues: (1) evidence of remifentanil inducing AOT and/or OIH and (2) importance of AOT and/or OIH in considering the reduction of remifentanil dosage or adopting preventive modulations. Twenty-four experimental and clinical studies were identified using electronic searches of MEDLINE (PubMed, Ovid, Springer, and Elsevier). However, the development of AOT and OIH by remifentanil administration remains controversial. There is no sufficient evidence to support or refute the existence of OIH in humans.

Abstract
Background. There are a few papers that compared the lateral transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block with the posterior TAP block. Our study aimed to compare retrospectively the quality of analgesia after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery using the lateral TAP block with general anesthesia versus the posterior TAP block with general anesthesia. Method. Sixty-seven adult female patients were included in this retrospective study. Of these patients, thirty-four patients received the lateral TAP block with general anesthesia (lat. TAP group), and the rest of thirty-three patients received the posterior TAP block with general anesthesia (pos. TAP group). Pain scores both at rest and at movement and the use of additional analgesic drugs were recorded in the postoperative care unit within twenty-four hours after the operation. Postoperative complications were noted. Results. Patients who received pos. TAP reported lower visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores in all points, within twenty-four hours after the operation, than patients who received lat. TAP. Moreover, with the use of additional analgesic drugs, the incidence of nausea and vomiting during the first twenty-four hours after surgery was lower in the pos. TAP group than in the lat. TAP group. Conclusion. The posterior TAP block provided more effective analgesia than the lateral TAP block in patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery.

Abstract
Conventional, intravenous, patient-controlled analgesia, which is only administered by demand bolus without basal continuous infusion, is closely associated with inappropriate analgesia. Pharmacokinetic model-based dosing schemes can quantitatively describe the time course of drug effects and achieve optimal drug therapy. We compared the efficacy and safety of a conventional dosing regimen for intravenous patient-controlled analgesia that was administered by demand bolus without basal continuous infusion (group A) versus a pharmacokinetic model-based dosing scheme performed by decreasing the dosage of basal continuous infusion according to the model-based simulation used to achieve a targeted concentration (group B) following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy.In total, 70 patients were analyzed: 34 patients in group A and 36 patients in group B. The postoperative opioid requirements, pain scores assessed by the visual analog scale, and adverse events (eg, nausea, vomiting, pruritis, respiratory depression, desaturation, sedation, confusion, and urinary retention) were compared on admission to the postanesthesia care unit and at 0.5, 1, 4, 24, and 48 h after surgery between the 2 groups. All patients were kept for close observation in the postanesthesia care unit for 1 h, and then transferred to the general ward.The fentanyl requirements in the postanesthesia care unit for groups A and B were 110.0 ± 46.4 μg and 77.5 ± 35.3 μg, respectively. The pain scores assessed by visual analog scale at 0.5, 1, 4, and 24 h after surgery in group B were significantly lower than in group A (all P < 0.05). There were no differences in the adverse events between the 2 groups.We found that the pharmacokinetic model-based dosing scheme resulted in lower opioid requirements, lower pain scores, and no significant adverse events in the postanesthesia care unit following robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy in comparison with conventional dosing regimen.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine which anesthetic was preferable for ambulatory anesthesia: propofol alone or sevoflurane alone. A crossover study was performed to compare the recovery profile and patient satisfaction after 2 anesthesia methods. Twenty healthy patients with severe anxiety toward dental treatment undergoing 2 sessions of day-case dental treatment received either propofol or sevoflurane anesthesia. The order of these methods was randomized. The depths of anesthesia were kept constant using bispectral index (BIS) monitoring. Observations on recovery profiles were performed in the emergence phase, in the recovery phase, and 24 hours after discharge. Patient satisfaction and preference were obtained by a questionnaire. Most of the recovery profiles in the emergence phase such as time to eye opening to respond to verbal command, time to BIS ≥ 75, and time to extubation were shorter in the sevoflurane group than in the propofol group. All recovery profiles in the recovery phase showed no differences between the 2 groups. Based on the subject's satisfaction and preference, propofol was evaluated as a better anesthetic for ambulatory anesthesia than sevoflurane. Higher patient satisfaction and a greater preference for future dental treatment were revealed for propofol anesthesia. Propofol may be more suitable for ambulatory anesthesia for dental treatment.

Abstract
Anaesthesiologists adjust drug dosing, administration system and kind of drug to the characteristics of the patient. They then observe the expected response and adjust dosing to the specific requirements according to the difference between observed response, expected response and the context of the surgery and the patient. The approach above can be achieved because on one hand quantification technology has made significant advances allowing the anaesthesiologist to measure almost any effect by using noninvasive, continuous measuring systems. On the other the knowledge on the relations between dosing, concentration, biophase dynamics and effect as well as detection of variability sources has been achieved as being the benchmark specialty for pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modelling. The aim of the review is to revisit the most common PKPD models applied in the field of anaesthesia (i.e. effect compartmental, turnover, drug-receptor binding and drug interaction models) through representative examples. The effect compartmental model has been widely used in this field and there are multiple applications and examples. The use of turnover models has been limited mainly to describe respiratory effects. Similarly, cases in which the dissociation process of the drug-receptor complex is slow compared with other processes relevant to the time course of the anaesthetic effect are not frequent in anaesthesia, where in addition to a rapid onset, a fast offset of the response is required. With respect to the characterization of PD drug interactions different response surface models are discussed. Relevant applications that have changed the way modern anaesthesia is practiced are also provided.

Abstract
Anesthesia is a combination of unconsciousness, amnesia, and analgesia, expressed in sleeping patients by limited reaction to noxious stimulations. It is achieved by several classes of drugs, acting mainly on central nervous system. Compared to other therapeutic families, the anesthetic drugs, administered by intravenous or pulmonary route, are quickly distributed in the blood and induce in a few minutes effects that are fully reversible within minutes or hours. These effects change in parallel with the concentration of the drug, and the concentration time course of the drug follows with a reasonable precision mathematical models based on the Fick principle. Therefore, understanding concentration time course allows adjusting the dosing delivery scheme in order to control the effects. The purpose of this short review is to describe the basis of pharmacokinetics and modeling, the concentration-effects relationship, and drug interactions modeling to offer to anesthesiologists and non-anesthesiologists an overview of the rules to follow to optimize anesthetic drug delivery.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a population pharmacokinetic model of sufentanil and to assess the influence of covariates in critically ill children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit. After institutional approval, 41 children were enrolled in the study. Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment were collected from routinely placed arterial catheters during and after discontinuation of infusion. Population nonlinear mixed-effects modeling was performed using NONMEM. A 2-compartment model described sufentanil PK sufficiently. Typical values of the central and peripheral volume of distribution and the metabolic and intercompartmental clearance for a theoretical patient weighing 70 kg were VC = 7.90 l, VT = 481 L, Cl = 5.3 L/h, and Q = 38.3 L/h, respectively. High interindividual variability of all PK parameters was noted. Allometric/isometric principles to scale sufentanil PK revealed that to achieve the same steady-state sufentanil concentrations in plasma for pediatric patients of different body weights, the infusion rate should follow the formula (infusion rate for a 70-kg adult patient, μg/h) × (body weight/70 kg)(0.75). Severity of illness described by PRISM score, the monitored physiological and laboratory parameters, and coadministered drugs such as vasopressors were not found to be significant covariates.

Abstract
The sufentanil sublingual tablet system (SSTS) is a novel patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) system that is pending approval from the US FDA for the management of moderate to severe acute pain in hospitalized patients. SSTS offers a noninvasive alternative to intravenous (iv.) PCA and optimized on-demand analgesia with the rapid onset and titratibility of sublingual sufentanil. Phase III clinical trials have demonstrated that SSTS has greater efficacy for the treatment of pain during the 72-h postoperative period after open abdominal and major orthopedic (total knee or total hip arthroplasty) surgery compared with iv. PCA with morphine sulfate (MS) or a placebo system. Safety assessments indicate that adverse events are typical for postoperative patients taking opioid analgesics. While the frequency of adverse events is comparable between patients using SSTS and iv. PCA MS, the incidence of oxygen desaturation is lower in those using SSTS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of a prolonged constant rate infusion (CRI) of fentanyl on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of isoflurane (ISOMAC ) and to establish whether concurrent atropine administration influences ISOMAC in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, crossover study. ANIMALS Six healthy dogs weighing 13.0 ± 4.1 kg. METHODS Dogs were anesthetized with isoflurane under conditions of normocapnia and normothermia. Arterial blood pressure was monitored invasively. Each dog was administered two treatments, on different occasions, in a crossover design. The dogs were administered intravenously (IV) an atropine bolus 0.02 mg kg(-1) and CRI at 0.04 mg kg(-1) hour(-1) (fentanyl-atropine treatment) or no atropine (fentanyl treatment). For each dog, baseline ISOMAC was measured in duplicate using a tail clamp technique. Subsequently, all dogs were administered a fentanyl bolus (5 μg kg(-1)) and CRI (9 μg kg(-1) hour(-1)) IV, and ISOMAC was re-determined at 120 and 300 minutes after initiation of the fentanyl CRI. RESULTS Baseline ISOMAC values in the fentanyl and fentanyl-atropine treatments were 1.38 ± 0.16% and 1.39 ± 0.14%, respectively. Fentanyl significantly decreased the ISOMAC by 50 ± 9% and 47 ± 13% after 120 minutes and by 51 ± 14% and 50 ± 9% after 300 minutes (p < 0.001) in the fentanyl and fentanyl-atropine treatments, respectively. Compared with baseline, heart rate decreased significantly in the fentanyl treatment by 35% and 43% at 120 and 300 minutes, respectively. In the fentanyl-atropine treatment, heart rate did not change significantly over time. In both treatments, systolic arterial pressure increased from baseline after fentanyl. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this study, fentanyl reduced the ISOMAC by approximately 50%. The ISOMAC remained stable throughout the 300 minute CRI of fentanyl, suggesting no cumulative effect of the opioid. Atropine did not influence ISOMAC in dogs.
