Abstract
PURPOSE Full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) is associated with specific complications, possibly linked to increased intracranial pressure (ICP) resulting from continuous saline infusion into the epidural space. This study aimed to assess the impact of saline irrigation and its correlation with noninvasively obtained ICP waveform changes. METHODS Patients undergoing FESS between January 2019 and November 2020 were included. Noninvasive ICP (n-ICP) monitoring utilized an extracranial strain sensor generating ICP waveforms, from which parameters P2/P1 ratio and time to peak (TTP) values were derived and correlated to irrigation and vital parameters. Documentation occurred at specific surgical intervals (M0-preoperatively; M1 to M4-intraoperatively; M5-postoperatively). Mixed-model analysis of variance and multiple comparisons tests were applied, with M0 as the baseline. RESULTS Among 31 enrolled patients, three experienced headaches unrelated to increased ICP at M5. The P2/P1 ratio and TTP decreased during surgery (p < 0.001 and p < 0.004, respectively). Compared to baseline, P2/P1 ratio and vital parameters remained significantly lower at M5. No significant differences were observed for fluid parameters throughout surgery. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a decline in the n-ICP parameters after anesthetic induction despite the anticipated increase in ICP due to constant epidural irrigation. The n-ICP parameters behaved independently of fluid parameters, suggesting a potential protective effect of anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Improving outcomes after surgery is a major public health research priority for patients, clinicians and the NHS. The greatest burden of perioperative complications, mortality and healthcare costs lies amongst the population of patients aged over 50 years who undergo major non-cardiac surgery. The Volatile vs Total Intravenous Anaesthesia for major non-cardiac surgery (VITAL) trial specifically examines the effect of anaesthetic technique on key patient outcomes: quality of recovery after surgery (quality of recovery after anaesthesia, patient satisfaction and major post-operative complications), survival and patient safety. METHODS A multi-centre pragmatic efficient randomised trial with health economic evaluation comparing total intravenous anaesthesia with volatile-based anaesthesia in adults (aged 50 and over) undergoing elective major non-cardiac surgery under general anaesthesia. DISCUSSION Given the very large number of patients exposed to general anaesthesia every year, even small differences in outcome between the two techniques could result in substantial excess harm. Results from the VITAL trial will ensure patients can benefit from the very safest anaesthesia care, promoting an early return home, reducing healthcare costs and maximising the health benefits of surgical treatments.

Effect of remimazolam versus propofol anesthesia on postoperative delirium in neurovascular surgery: study protocol for a randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial. Perioper Med (Lond) 2024; 13:56. [PMID: 38877533 PMCID: PMC11177377 DOI: 10.1186/s13741-024-00415-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Remimazolam is a short-acting benzodiazepine newly approved for the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Remimazolam emerges as an ideal drug for the neurosurgical population due to its rapid emergence, enabling early neurological assessment, and its ability to maintain perfusion pressure, which is crucial for preventing cerebral ischemia. However, the use of benzodiazepine has been associated with an increased risk of postoperative delirium (POD). There is currently limited evidence about the relationship between remimazolam-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and POD. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial, we plan to include 696 adult patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status class I to III, undergoing elective neurovascular surgery under general anesthesia. After informed consent, the patients will be randomized to receive either remimazolam or propofol-based TIVA with a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the incidence of POD within 5 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes include subtypes, number of positive assessments and severity of POD, emergence agitation, intraoperative awareness and undesirable patient movement, intraoperative hypotension, and postoperative cognitive function. The data will be analyzed in modified intention to treat. DISCUSSION This trial will evaluate the effect of remimazolam on the development of POD compared to propofol anesthesia. The results of this trial will provide evidence regarding the choice of optimal anesthetics to minimize the risk of POD in neurosurgical patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was prospectively registered at the Clinical trials ( https://clinicaltrials.gov , NCT06115031, principal investigator: Jiseon Jeong; date of first registration: November 2, 2023, before the recruitment of the first participant.

Mortality and morbidity after total intravenous anaesthesia versus inhalational anaesthesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 72:102636. [PMID: 38774674 PMCID: PMC11106536 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background General anaesthesia is provided to more than 300 million surgical patients worldwide, every year. It is administered either through total intravenous anaesthesia, using only intravenous agents, or through inhalational anaesthesia, using volatile anaesthetic agents. The debate on how this affects postoperative patient outcome is ongoing, despite an abundance of published trials. The relevance of this topic has grown by the increasing concern about the contribution of anaesthetic gases to the environmental impact of surgery. We aimed to summarise all available evidence on relevant patient outcomes with total intravenous anaesthesia versus inhalational anaesthesia. Methods In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched PubMed/Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled trials for works published from January 1, 1985 to August 1, 2023 for randomised controlled trials comparing total intravenous anaesthesia using propofol versus inhalational anaesthesia using the volatile anaesthetics sevoflurane, desflurane or isoflurane. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts and full text articles, and assessed risk of bias using the Cochrane Collaboration tool. Outcomes were derived from a recent series of publications on consensus definitions for Standardised Endpoints for Perioperative trials (StEP). Primary outcomes covered mortality and organ-related morbidity. Secondary outcomes were related to anaesthetic and surgical morbidity. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023430492). Findings We included 317 randomised controlled trials, comprising 51,107 patients. No difference between total intravenous and inhalational anaesthesia was seen in the primary outcomes of in-hospital mortality (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.67-1.66, 27 trials, 3846 patients), 30-day mortality (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.70-1.36, 23 trials, 9667 patients) and one-year mortality (RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.88-1.48, 13 trials, 9317 patients). Organ-related morbidity was similar between groups except for the subgroup of elderly patients, in which total intravenous anaesthesia was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction (RR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.97, 11 trials, 3834 patients) and a better score on postoperative cognitive dysfunction tests (standardised mean difference 1.68, 95% CI 0.47-2.88, 9 trials, 4917 patients). In the secondary outcomes, total intravenous anaesthesia resulted in a lower incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.56-0.67, 145 trials, 23,172 patients), less emergence delirium (RR 0.40, 95% CI 0.29-0.56, 32 trials, 4203 patients) and a higher quality of recovery score (QoR-40 mean difference 6.45, 95% CI 3.64-9.25, 17 trials, 1835 patients). Interpretation The results indicate that postoperative mortality and organ-related morbidity was similar for intravenous and inhalational anaesthesia. Total intravenous anaesthesia offered advantages in postoperative recovery. Funding Dutch Society for Anaesthesiology (NVA).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at reducing the length of hospital stay, improving patient outcomes, and reducing the overall cost of care. Although ERAS protocols have been widely adopted in various surgical fields, their application in cranial surgery remains relatively limited. METHODS Considering that the aging of the population presents significant challenges to healthcare systems, and there is currently no ERAS protocol available for geriatric patients over the age of 65 requiring cranial surgery, this article proposes a new ERAS protocol for this population by analyzing successful ERAS protocols and optimal perioperative care for geriatric patients described in the literature. RESULTS Our aim is to develop a feasible, safe, and effective protocol for geriatric patients undergoing elective craniotomy, which includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessments and management, as well as outcome measures. CONCLUSIONS This multidisciplinary and evidence-based ERAS protocol has the potential to reduce perioperative morbidity, improve functional recovery, and enhance postoperative outcomes after cranial surgery in elderly. Further research will be necessary to establish strict guidelines.

Efficacy of propofol-based anesthesia against risk of brain swelling during craniotomy: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies. J Clin Anesth 2024; 92:111306. [PMID: 37883902 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to compare the risk of brain swelling during craniotomy between propofol-based and volatile-based anesthesia. DESIGN Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). SETTING Operating room. INTERVENTION Propofol-based anesthesia. PATIENTS Adult patients undergoing craniotomy. MEASUREMENTS Databases, including EMBASE, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, were searched from inception to April 2023. The primary outcome was the risk of brain swelling, while the secondary outcomes included the impact of anesthetic regimens on surgical and recovery outcomes, as well as the risk of hemodynamic instability. MAIN RESULTS Our meta-analysis of 17 RCTs showed a significantly lower risk of brain swelling (risk ratio [RR]: 0.85, p = 0.03, I2 = 21%, n = 1976) in patients receiving propofol than in those using volatile agents, without significant differences in surgical time or blood loss between the two groups. Moreover, propofol was associated with a lower intracranial pressure (ICP) (mean difference: -4.06 mmHg, p < 0.00001, I2 = 44%, n = 409) as well as a lower risk of tachycardia (RR = 0.54, p = 0.005, I2 = 0%, n = 822) and postoperative nausea/vomiting (PONV) (RR = 0.59, p = 0.002, I2 = 19%, n = 1382). There were no significant differences in other recovery outcomes (e.g., extubation time), risk of bradycardia, hypertension, or hypotension between the two groups. Subgroup analysis indicated that propofol was not associated with a reduced risk of brain swelling when compared to individual volatile agents. Stratified by craniotomy indications, propofol reduced brain swelling in elective craniotomy, but not in emergency craniotomy (e.g., traumatic brain injury), when compared to volatile anesthetics. CONCLUSIONS By reviewing the available evidence, our results demonstrate the beneficial effects of propofol on the risk of brain swelling, ICP, PONV, and intraoperative tachycardia. In emergency craniotomy for traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain swelling showed no significant difference between propofol and volatile agents. Further large-scale studies are warranted for verification.

Total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil is associated with reduction in operative time in surgery for glioblastoma when compared with inhalational anaesthesia with sevoflurane. J Clin Neurosci 2024; 120:191-195. [PMID: 38266592 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocn.2024.01.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is emerging as a preferred neuroanaesthetic agent compared with inhalational anaesthetic (IA) agents. We asked if TIVA with propofol and remifentanil was associated with shorter operative times compared to IA using sevoflurane in brain tumour surgery under GA. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing surgery for glioblastoma (GBM). We assessed choice of GA agent (TIVA or IA) with total time patient was under GA (anaesthetic time), operative time and time taken to recover fully from GA (recovery time). RESULTS Over a two year period 263 patients underwent surgery under GA for their GBM including 188 craniotomy operations, 63 burr hole biopsy procedures and 12 open biopsy procedures. Of these, 79 operations took place under TIVA and 184 operations under IA. TIVA was associated with significantly reduced mean operative time including time taken to wake up in theatre (104 min with TIVA, 129 min with IA; p = 0.02). TIVA was also associated with trends toward shorter mean recovery time (118 min, versus 135 min with IA; p = 0.08) and shorter mean anaesthetic time (163 min, versus 181 min with IA; p = 0.07). There was no difference between TIVA and IA groups as regards duration of inpatient stay, readmission rates, complications or survival. CONCLUSIONS TIVA with propofol and remifentanil may reduce anaesthetic, operative and recovery times in patients undergoing surgery for their GBM. These findings may be attributable to favourable effects on intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion, as well as rapid recovery from GA. In addition to clinical advantages, there may be financial and logistical benefits.

[PMID: 38093254 PMCID: PMC10717748 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-023-04297-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniotomy aneurysm clipping is one of the main treatments for intracranial aneurysm (IA). Endotracheal intubation and intraoperative operation may induce dramatic hemodynamic fluctuations and increase the risk of aneurysm rupture. Intraoperative high-dose opioid use is the main measure to reduce the intraoperative stress response, but it increases the incidence of complications such as postoperative vomiting and delayed awakening. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) stimulates β-endorphin expression levels and reduces opioid requirements. In this study, we aimed to assess the effects of TEAS on remifentanil dosage and oxidative stress (OS) in craniotomy aneurysm clipping. METHOD Forty-two patients with craniotomy aneurysm clipping were randomized into two groups: the TEAS group (T group) and the sham TEAS group (S group). "Hegu" (LI4), "Neiguan" (PC6) and "Zusanli" points (ST36) were selected, and a "HANS" percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulator was used for intervention 30 min before anesthesia induction until the end of the operation. The primary outcome was intraoperative remifentanil dosage. The secondary outcomes were intraoperative propofol dosage, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) 5 min before the TEAS intervention (T0), 5 min before head holder pinning (T1), immediately after pinning (T2), 5 min before craniotomy (T3), immediately after craniotomy (T4), at craniotomy (T5), and at the end of surgery (T6), as well as serum β-endorphin levels at T1, T2 and T6 and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), S100β, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels at T1, T2 and 24 h after surgery (T7). RESULTS The dosage of remifentanil in the T group was reduced compared to that in the S group (P < 0.05). At T2, T4 and T5, the MAP and HR in the T group were lower than those in the S group (P < 0.05). At T2 and T7, the levels of NSE, S100β and MDA in group T were lower than those in group S (P < 0.05), while the SOD levels in group T were higher than those in group S (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The use of TEAS can reduce the dosage of remifentanil and reduce hemodynamic fluctuations during craniotomy aneurysm clipping. It reduces the occurrence of OS and central nervous system damage during surgery and has a certain brain protective effect. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR2100052353. https://www.chictr.org.cn/about.html .

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile and intravenous anesthetics have substantial effects on physiological functions, notably influencing neurological function and susceptibility to injury. Despite the importance of the anesthetic approach, data on its relative risks or benefits during surgical clipping or endovascular treatments for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains scant. We investigated whether using volatile anesthetics alone or in combination with propofol infusion yields superior neurological outcomes following UIA obliteration. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 1001 patients who underwent open or endovascular treatment for UIA, of whom 596 had short- and long-term neurological outcome data (modified Rankin Scale) recorded. Multivariable ordinal regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the anesthetic approach and outcomes. RESULTS Of 1001 patients, 765 received volatile anesthetics alone, while 236 received propofol infusion and volatile anesthetics (combined anesthetic group). Short-term neurological outcome data were available for 619 patients and long-term data for 596. No significant correlation was found between the anesthetic approach and neurologic outcomes, irrespective of the type of procedure (open craniotomy or endovascular treatment). The combined anesthetic group had a higher rate of ICU admission (p < 0.001) and longer ICU and hospital length of stay (LOS, p < 0.001). Similarly, a subgroup analysis revealed longer ICU and hospital LOS (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.001, respectively) in patients who underwent endovascular UIA obliteration under a combined anesthetic approach (n = 678). CONCLUSIONS The addition of propofol to volatile anesthetics during UIA obliteration does not provide short- or long-term benefits to neurologic outcomes. Compared to volatile anesthetics alone, the combination of propofol and volatile anesthetics may be associated with an increased rate of ICU admission, as well as longer ICU and hospital LOS.

[PMID: 37510925 PMCID: PMC10381519 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12144810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
In this review, we aim to discuss current information on drug interactions in the perioperative period. During this period, patients receive several drugs that may interact with each other and affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. There are three types of drug interactions: pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmaceutical. It is important to recognize that drug interactions may increase the toxicity of the drug or reduce its efficacy, increasing the risk of complications in the perioperative period. This review describes the most commonly used perioperative drugs approved by the FDA and some of the described interactions between them. Thoroughly reviewing a patient's medication list and identifying potential interactions are essential steps in minimizing risks. Additionally, vigilant monitoring of patients during and after surgery plays a pivotal role in early detection of any signs of drug interactions. This article emphasizes the significance of addressing DDIs in the perioperative period to ensure patient well-being and advocates for the implementation of careful monitoring protocols to promptly identify and manage potential interactions.

Abstract
Background and Aim Pneumoperitoneum (PP) and the Trendelenburg position (TP) in laparoscopic surgeries are associated with rise in intracranial pressure (ICP). The optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is a surrogate marker of ICP. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of sevoflurane, propofol and propofol with dexmedetomidine as maintenance agent on ICP in TP during laparoscopic surgeries. Material and Methods A total of 120 American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I/II patients, aged 18-65 years were randomly allocated into three groups: sevoflurane as group S, propofol as group P, and propofol with dexmedetomidine as group PD. The intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was kept in the range of 12-14 mmHg and TP varied between 15°- 45° angle. The primary objective was comparison of ICP and secondary objectives were IOP, intraoperative hemodynamic and postoperative recovery characteristics among groups. The ONSD and IOP were measured in both eyes 10 min after endotracheal intubation (T0), 5 min after CO2 insufflation (T1), 5 min after TP (T2) and 5 min after deflation of gas (T3). The data were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. Results ONSD and IOP at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than T0 in all groups, but no significant difference was found among the intergroup groups. Significantly lower heart rate and mean blood pressure were observed in PD group at T1 and T2 compared to group S and group P. Conclusion The rise in ICP was comparable among sevoflurane, propofol, and propofol-dexmedetomidine combination as a maintenance agent during laparoscopic surgeries in TP.

Abstract
AIM The "2023 Guideline for the Management of Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage" replaces the 2012 "Guidelines for the Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage." The 2023 guideline is intended to provide patient-centric recommendations for clinicians to prevent, diagnose, and manage patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS A comprehensive search for literature published since the 2012 guideline, derived from research principally involving human subjects, published in English, and indexed in MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and other selected databases relevant to this guideline, was conducted between March 2022 and June 2022. In addition, the guideline writing group reviewed documents on related subject matter previously published by the American Heart Association. Newer studies published between July 2022 and November 2022 that affected recommendation content, Class of Recommendation, or Level of Evidence were included if appropriate. Structure: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a significant global public health threat and a severely morbid and often deadly condition. The 2023 aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage guideline provides recommendations based on current evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to preventing, diagnosing, and managing patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' and their families' and caregivers' interests. Many recommendations from the previous aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage guidelines have been updated with new evidence, and new recommendations have been created when supported by published data.

[PMID: 37084650 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2023.107719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND When general anesthesia is used for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the choice of anesthetic agents for maintenance remains inconclusive. The different effects of intravenous anesthetic and volatiles agents on cerebral hemodynamics are known and may explain differences in outcomes of patients with cerebral pathologies exposed to the different anesthetic modalities. In this single institutional retrospective study, we assessed the impact of total intravenous (TIVA) and inhalational anesthesia on outcomes after EVT. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients ≥ 18 years who underwent EVT for AIS of the anterior or posterior circulation under general anesthesia. Baseline patient characteristics, anesthetic agents, intra operative hemodynamics, stroke characteristics, time intervals and clinical outcome data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The study cohort consisted of 191 patients. After excluding 76 patients who were lost to follow up at 90 days, 51 patients received inhalational anesthesia and 64 patients who received TIVA were analyzed. The clinical characteristics between the groups were comparable. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of outcome measures for TIVA versus inhalational anesthesia showed significantly increased odds of good functional outcome (mRS 0-2) at 90 days (adjusted odds ratio, 3.24; 95% CI, 1.25-8.36; p = 0.015) and a non-significant trend towards decreased mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.73; CI, 0.15-3.6; p = 0.70). CONCLUSION Patients who had TIVA for mechanical thrombectomy had significantly increased odds of good functional outcome at 90 days and a non-significant trend towards decrease in mortality. These findings warrant further investigation with large randomized, prospective trials.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Supraglottic airway devices (SADs) are known to be useful in eliminating the drawbacks of laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, especially ocular pressure and stress responses. The ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) reflects increases in intracranial pressure (ICP). In our study, we aimed to compare the effects of SADs on hemodynamic response and ONSD. Materials and Methods: Our prospective study included 90 ASA I-II patients over the age of 18 who did not have a history of difficult intubation or ophthalmic pathology. The patients were randomly divided into three groups based on the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) devices used: ProSeal LMA (pLMA, n = 30), LMA Supreme (sLMA, n = 30), and I-gel (n = 30). The bilateral ONSD measurements and hemodynamic data of the patients who underwent standard anesthesia induction and monitoring were recorded before induction (T0) and 1 min (T1), 5 min (T5), and 10 min (T10) after SAD placement. Results: At all measurement times, the hemodynamic responses and ONSD values of the groups were similar. In all three groups, intergroup hemodynamic changes at T0 and T1 were similar and higher than those at other times of measurement (p < 0.001). The ONSD values of all groups increased at T1, and they tended to return to baseline values afterward (p < 0.001). Conclusions: We concluded that all three SADs could be used safely because they preserved both hemodynamic stability and ONSD changes in their placement processes, and they did not cause elevations in ONSD to an extent that would lead to increased ICP.

Abstract
Anesthesia in neurosurgery embodies a vital element in the development of neurosurgical intervention. This undisputed interest has offered surgeons and anesthesiologists an array of anesthetic selections to utilize, though with this allowance comes the equally essential requirement of implementing a maximally appropriate agent. To date, there remains a lack of consensus and official guidance on optimizing anesthetic choice based on operating priorities including hemodynamic parameters (e.g., CPP, ICP, MAP) in addition to the route of procedure and pathology. In this review, the authors detail the development of neuroanesthesia, summarize the advantages and drawbacks of various anesthetic classes and agents, while lastly cohesively organizing the current literature of randomized trials on neuroanesthesia across various procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Satisfactory brain relaxation is essential in neurosurgery. Desflurane anesthesia and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) have different effects on cerebral hemodynamics, potentially contributing to discrepant brain relaxation. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of desflurane and TIVA on brain relaxation in patients undergoing craniotomy for supratentorial tumors. METHODS In this randomized, controlled study, we enrolled patients aged 18-60 years, with ASA I-III, who were scheduled to undergo elective craniotomy for supratentorial tumors. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive desflurane anesthesia or TIVA. The primary outcome was the proportion of satisfactory brain relaxation. Secondary outcomes included emergence and extubation times, recovery of cognitive function and postoperative complications. RESULTS Of 369 patients who were assessed for eligibility, 111 were randomized and 110 were included in the modified intention-to-treat analysis (55 in the desflurane group and 55 in the TIVA group). The proportion of satisfactory brain relaxation was similar between the two groups: 69% in the desflurane group and 73% in the TIVA group (RR: 0.950, 95% CI: 0.748-1.207; P = 0.675). Patients assigned to the desflurane group had shorter emergence (10 [8-13] min vs. 13 [10-20] min, P < 0.001) and extubation times (13 [10-18] min vs. 17 [13-23] min, P < 0.001), and better recovery of cognitive function at 15 min after extubation (16 [0-24] vs. 0 [0-20], P = 0.003), but experienced increased postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) (16 [29%] vs. 6 [11%] P = 0.017) and tachycardia (22 [40%] vs. 9 [16%], P = 0.006) during recovery. CONCLUSIONS Desflurane anesthesia and TIVA provide similar brain relaxation in patients without intracranial hypertension undergoing elective craniotomy. Desflurane accelerates the recovery from anesthesia but is associated with increased PONV and tachycardia during the recovery period. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrial.gov (NCT04691128).

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, many reports have indicated that propofol is safe to administer to patients with egg/soybean allergy in Western countries. Egg allergy is more frequent in Asia, but there are limited reports regarding allergic reactions to propofol use among adults. This study aimed to determine whether propofol causes allergic reactions in patients with egg/soybean allergy. METHODS Adult patients who underwent surgery involving anesthesiologists from 2018 to 2021 were included. In all patients, we reviewed food allergy information in their electronic medical record and extracted anesthetics. Patients with egg/soybean allergy were subdivided into two groups on the basis of intraoperative use of propofol. We evaluated each group for allergic reactions within 24 h after the induction of anesthesia. The primary outcome was a relative risk of allergic reactions after propofol use for patients with egg/soybean allergy. RESULTS In total, 22,111 patients with 28,710 anesthesia records were identified. Among patients with egg/soybean allergy, 173 (0.8%) patients and 237 (0.8%) anesthesia records were included in the study. Among the records of egg-/soybean-allergic patients, 151 were administered propofol, and 86 were not. The relative risk of allergic reactions after propofol use for patients with egg/soybean allergy was 1.14 (95% confidence interval, 0.10-12.4; p = 0.74). CONCLUSION The use of propofol in patients with egg/soybean allergy does not significantly increase the relative risk of allergic reactions. Therefore, anesthesiologists can appropriately determine the indication for propofol, even in patients with egg/soybean allergy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-grade glioma (HGG) is the most malignant brain tumor with poor outcomes. Whether anesthetic methods have an impact on the outcome of these patients is still unknown. Retrospective study has found no difference between intravenous and inhalation anesthesia on the overall survival (OS) of the HGG patients, however, intravenous anesthesia with propofol might be beneficial in a subgroup of patients with a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) Scale less than 80. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the results. METHODS This is a single-centered, randomized controlled, parallel-group trial. Three hundred forty-four patients with primary HGG for tumor resection will be randomly assigned to receive either intravenous anesthesia with propofol or inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane. The primary outcome is the OS of the patients within 18 months. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival (PFS), the numerical rating scale (NRS) of pain intensity and sleep quality, the postoperative encephaloedema volume, complications, and the length of hospital stay of the patients. DISCUSSION This is a randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of intravenous and inhalation anesthesia maintenance on the outcome of supratentorial HGG patients. The results will contribute to optimizing the anesthesia methods in these patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02756312. Registered on 29 April 2016 and last updated on 9 Sep 2020.

Abstract
Population aging is an unprecedented, multifactorial, and global process that poses significant challenges to healthcare systems. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols aim to optimize perioperative care. The first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for elective craniotomy has contributed to a shortened postoperative hospital stay, accelerated functional recovery, improved patient satisfaction, and reduced medical care cost in adult patients aged 18 to 65 years compared with conventional perioperative care. However, ERAS protocols for geriatric patients over 65 years of age undergoing cranial surgery are lacking. In this paper, we propose a novel ERAS protocol for such patients by reviewing and summarizing the key elements of successful ERAS protocols/guidelines and optimal perioperative care for geriatric patients described in the literature, as well as our experience in applying the first neurosurgical ERAS protocol for a quality improvement initiative. This proposal aimed to establish an applicable protocol for geriatric patients undergoing elective craniotomy, with evidence addressing its feasibility, safety, and potential efficacy. This multimodal, multidisciplinary, and evidence-based ERAS protocol includes preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative assessment and management as well as outcome measures. The implementation of the current protocol may hold promise in reducing perioperative morbidity, enhancing functional recovery, improving postoperative outcomes in geriatric patients scheduled for elective craniotomy, and serving as a stepping stone to promote further research into the advancement of geriatric patient care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The introduction of clot removement by endovascular treatment (EVT) in 2015 has improved the clinical outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to a large vessel occlusion (LVO). Anesthetic strategies during EVT vary widely between hospitals, with some departments employing local anesthesia (LA), others performing conscious sedation (CS) or general anesthesia (GA). The optimal anesthetic strategy remains debated. This review will describe the effects of anesthetic strategy on clinical and radiological outcomes and hemodynamic parameters in patients with AIS undergoing EVT. RECENT FINDINGS Small single-center randomized controlled trails (RCTs) found either no difference or favored GA, while large observational cohort studies favored CS or LA. RCTs using LA as separate comparator arm are still lacking and a meta-analysis of observational studies failed to show differences in functional outcome between LA vs. other anesthetic strategies. Advantages of LA were shorter door-to-groin time in patients and less intraprocedural hypotension, which are both variables that are known to impact functional outcome. SUMMARY The optimal anesthetic approach in patients undergoing EVT for stroke therapy is still unclear, but based on logistics and peri-procedural hemodynamics, LA may be the optimal choice. Multicenter RCTs are warranted comparing LA, CS and GS with strict blood pressure targets and use of the same anesthetic agents to minimize confounding variables.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sevoflurane-remifentanil (SR) vs propofol-remifentanil (PR) as inhalation anesthesia or total intravenous anesthesia in patients undergoing craniotomy, respectively. METHODS Electronic databases included PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, and Wanfang data were searched using suitable search items. Randomized clinical controlled trials comparing the combination of SR and PR as anesthetics for neurosurgery were included. The outcomes included wake-up time, spontaneous respiration time, extubation time, and safety. RESULTS Seventeen studies were included in this meta-analysis. There were no statistically significant differences in wake-up time (P = .25, standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.29, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.77), extubation time (P = .1, SMD = 0.52, 95% CI -0.11 to 1.14) and spontaneous respiration time (P = .58, SMD = 0.43, 95% CI -1.07 to 1.93) when patients with SF and PF for anesthesia maintenance. Moreover, the changes of hemodynamic parameters are similar between the 2 groups. During anesthesia maintenance, SF could significantly increase the incidence of hypotension and brain edema than PF (P = .02, SMD = 1.68, 95% CI 1.07 to 2.62; P < .0001, SMD = 3.37, 95% CI 1.86 to 6.12), PF markedly promoted the incidence of hypertension (P = .001, SMD = 0.55, 95% CI 0.39 to 0.79). The postoperative adverse reactions were similar between the 2 groups (P > .05), but the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting proved to be higher in SF group (P < .0001, SMD = 2.12, 95% CI 1.47 to 3.07). CONCLUSIONS SR and PR as anesthetics in patients underwent craniotomy had similar effects, but PR was superior to SR in terms of safety of intraoperation and postoperation.

Anesthetic management of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a qualitative systematic review. Neurosurg Rev 2021; 44:2477-2492. [PMID: 33415519 PMCID: PMC9157460 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-020-01441-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Intracranial aneurysms (IA) occur in 3-5% of the general population and may require surgical or endovascular obliteration if the patient is symptomatic or has an increased risk of rupture. These procedures carry an inherent risk of neurological complications, and the outcome can be influenced by the physiological and pharmacological effects of the administered anesthetics. Despite the critical role of anesthetic agents, however, there are no current studies to systematically assess the intraoperative anesthetic risks, benefits, and outcome effects in this population. In this systematic review of the literature, we carefully examine the existing evidence on the risks and benefits of common anesthetic agents during IA obliteration, their physiological and clinical characteristics, and effects on neurological outcome. The initial search strategy captured a total of 287 published studies. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, 28 studies were included in the final report. Our data showed that both volatile and intravenous anesthetics are commonly employed, without evidence that either is superior. Although no specific anesthetic regimens are promoted, their unique neurological, cardiovascular, and physiological properties may be critical to the outcome in vulnerable patients. In particular, patients at risk for perioperative ischemia may benefit from timely administration of anesthetic agents with neuroprotective properties and optimization of their physiological parameters. Further studies are warranted to examine if these anesthetic regimens can reduce the risk of neurological injury and improve the overall outcome in these patients.

Abstract
Sevoflurane is familiar to anesthesiologists as an inhaled anesthetic to induce and maintain anesthesia; however, it has not been widely used for sedation. Recently, the use of sevoflurane for inhalational sedation has been increasing. Moreover, in Korea, the use of sevoflurane for conscious or deep sedation in dental care for children and the disabled is increasing, primarily by dental anesthesiologists. In this article, we reviewed a sedation method using sevoflurane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Types of general anesthesia may affect the quality of recovery, but few studies have investigated the quality of postoperative recovery, and none has focused on patients undergoing breast augmentation. METHODS This prospective, parallel, randomized controlled study enrolled 104 patients undergoing transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive inhalation anesthesia (IH, n = 52) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA, n = 52). Quality of recovery was assessed on the first and on the second postoperative days using the 15-item Quality of Recovery questionnaire (QoR-15). Baseline demographic, clinical characteristics, and operative data were also collected. RESULTS The IH and TIVA groups had similar QoR-15 total scores on the first postoperative day (P = .921) and on the second postoperative day (P = .960), but the IH group had a significantly higher proportion of patients receiving antiemetics than the TIVA group (53.6% vs 23.1%, P = .002). Multivariate analysis revealed that the type of general anesthesia was not significantly associated with QoR-15 total scores on the first postoperative day (β = 0.68, P = .874) and with QoR-15 total scores on the second postoperative day (β = 0.56, P = .892), after adjusting for age, BMI, operation time, steroids use, and antiemetics use. CONCLUSION For the patients undergoing transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation, the type of general anesthesia did not significantly impact the quality of recovery. Both IH or TIVA could provide good quality of recovery demonstrated by high QoR-15 total scores. The results suggested that the type of general anesthesia may not be the most critical factors of quality of recovery in the patients undergoing transaxillary endoscopic breast augmentation.

Abstract
One of the most common and distressing symptoms after craniotomy is postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). PONV could generate delayed postanesthesia care and hospitalization discharge, lower patient satisfaction, and an increase in overall hospitalization costs. The incidence of reported PONV after craniotomy is 22% to 70% without prophylaxis, and a multimodal regimen of medication has been recommended. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of the clinical evidence related to PONV prevention and management after craniotomy. All clinical trials in adult populations relevant to PONV after craniotomy available in English language and indexed in PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library databases from January 1997 up to September 2018 were retrieved using a combination of free-text words related to PONV in craniotomy. After screening manuscripts identified in the initial search, 23 clinical trials investigating systemic pharmacological intervention versus placebo or active control in patients undergoing craniotomy under general anesthesia met the criteria for inclusion in this comprehensive narrative review. The pathophysiology and mechanisms of PONV after craniotomy could be multifactorial in etiology. Therefore, based on current evidence, PONV management after craniotomy should focus on perioperative patient assessment, surgical, and anesthesia-related risk factors and the selection of systemic pharmacological considerations to reduce its incidence and complications. A multimodal regimen of medication targeting different chemoreceptors in the vomiting center is recommended. Ondansetron and dexamethasone, or their combination, are the most frequently used and effective agents. Further randomized clinical trials comparing different regimens that significantly reduce the incidence of PONV in craniotomy would provide relevant evidence-based data for PONV management in this patient population.

Abstract
Over the past 10-20 years, neuroscience witnessed an explosion in the use of non-invasive imaging methods, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to study brain structure and function. Simultaneously, with access to MRI in many research institutions, MRI has become an indispensable tool for researchers and veterinarians to guide improvements in surgical procedures and implants and thus, experimental as well as clinical outcomes, given that access to MRI also allows for improved diagnosis and monitoring for brain disease. As part of the PRIMEatE Data Exchange, we gathered expert scientists, veterinarians, and clinicians who treat humans, to provide an overview of the use of non-invasive imaging tools, primarily MRI, to enhance experimental and welfare outcomes for laboratory non-human primates engaged in neuroscientific experiments. We aimed to provide guidance for other researchers, scientists and veterinarians in the use of this powerful imaging technology as well as to foster a larger conversation and community of scientists and veterinarians with a shared goal of improving the well-being and experimental outcomes for laboratory animals.

Abstract
Understanding how anesthetics impact cerebral physiology, cerebral blood flow, brain metabolism, brain relaxation, and neurologic recovery is crucial for optimizing anesthesia during supratentorial craniotomies. Intraoperative goals for supratentorial tumor resection include maintaining cerebral perfusion pressure and cerebral autoregulation, optimizing surgical access and neuromonitoring, and facilitating rapid, cooperative emergence. Evidence-based studies increasingly expand the impact of anesthetic care beyond immediate perioperative care into both preoperative optimization and minimizing postoperative consequences. New evidence is needed for neuroanesthesia's role in neurooncology, in preventing conversion from acute to chronic pain, and in decreasing risk of intraoperative ischemia and postoperative delirium.

Abstract
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces major insult to the normal cerebral physiology. The anesthetic agents may infrequently produce deleterious effects and further aggravate damage to the injured brain. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on cerebral oxygenation, brain relaxation, systemic hemodynamic parameters and levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with severe TBI undergoing decompressive craniectomy. Methods: A prospective randomized comparative study was conducted on 42 patients undergoing surgery for severe TBI. Patients were randomized into two groups, Group P received propofol and Group S received sevoflurane for maintenance of anesthesia. All patients were induced with fentanyl, propofol, and vecuronium. The effect of these agents on cerebral oxygenation was assessed by jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2). Hemodynamic changes and quality of intraoperative brain relaxation were also assessed. The serum levels of IL-6 were quantitated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Results: SjVO2 values were comparable and mean arterial pressure (MAP) was found to be significantly lower in Group P as compared to those in Group S (P < 0.05). Brain relaxation scores were comparable between the groups. The level of IL-6 decreased significantly at the end of surgery compared to baseline in patients receiving sevoflurane (P = 0.040). Conclusions: Cerebral oxygenation measured by SjVO2 was comparable when anesthesia was maintained with propofol or sevoflurane. However, significant reduction in MAP by propofol needs attention in patients with severe TBI. The decrease in IL-6 level reflects anti-inflammatory effect and probable neuroprotective potential of propofol and sevoflurane.

Comparison of Ketofol (Combination of Ketamine and Propofol) and Propofol Anesthesia in Aneurysmal Clipping Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Control Trial. Asian J Neurosurg 2020; 15:608-613. [PMID: 33145214 PMCID: PMC7591164 DOI: 10.4103/ajns.ajns_346_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The maintenance of hemodynamic stability is of pivotal importance in aneurysm surgeries. While administering anesthesia in these patients, the fluctuations in blood pressure may directly affect transmural pressure, thereby precipitating rupture of aneurysm and various other associated complications. We aimed to compare the effects of ketofol with propofol alone when used as an induction and maintenance anesthetic agent during surgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms. Materials and Methods: Forty adult, good-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients posted for aneurysm neck clipping were included in the study. The patients were randomized into two groups. One group received a combination of ketamine and propofol (1:5 ratio) and the other group received propofol for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. Intraoperative hemodynamic stability, intraventricular pressure, and quality of brain relaxation were studied in both the groups. Results: The patients were comparable with respect to demographic profile, Hunt and Hess grade, world federation of neurological surgeons (WFNS) grade, Fisher grade, duration of anesthesia, duration of surgery, optic nerve sheath diameter, and baseline hemoglobin. Intraoperative hemodynamics were better maintained in the ketofol group during induction, with only 15% of patients having >20% fall in mean arterial pressure (from baseline) intraoperatively, compared to 45% of patients receiving propofol alone (P = 0.038). The mean intraventricular pressure values in both the groups were in the normal range and the quality of brain relaxation was similar, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Ketofol combination (1:5) as compared to propofol alone provides better hemodynamic stability on induction as well as maintenance anesthesia without causing an increase in intracranial pressure. Effect of ketofol on cerebral oxygenation and quality of emergence need to be evaluated further by larger multicentric, randomized control trials.

Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing microvascular decompression are often accompanied with high risk of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV). In this study, we compare the antiemetic efficacy of butorphanol or sufentanil combined with dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing microvascular decompression. Methods: Patients undergoing microvascular decompression were randomized into two groups. The primary outcome was the occurrence and severity of PONV during the 72 h after surgery. Secondary outcomes included levels of pain intensity and sedation and consumption of opioids at 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after surgery. We also recorded the intraoperative hemodynamics, consumption of narcotic drugs, operation and anesthesia time, estimated blood loss, infusion volume and urine output, requirements of rescue antiemetics or analgesics, the satisfaction scores of patients and surgeons, complications, and length of stay. Results: The overall incidence rates of nausea and vomiting during the 72 h after surgery were significantly reduced in group DB (76.00 and 44.00% in group DS vs. 54.17% and 22.92% in group DB, P < 0.05). Patients in group DB had a lower incidence of nausea than those in group DS at intervals of 1–6 and 6–24 h (P < 0.05). However, patients in group DB had a lower incidence of vomiting than those in group DS only at intervals of 1–6 h (P < 0.05). Similarly, the number of patients requiring rescue antiemetics was also significantly reduced in group DB compared with that in group DS at intervals of 1–6 h (P < 0.05). The number of patients experiencing moderate to severe PONV was comparable between the two groups during 72 h after surgery (P > 0.05). The consumption of opioid morphine equivalent was significantly reduced in group DB (P < 0.05). Compared with those in group DS, the satisfaction scores of both patients and surgeons were significantly increased in group DB (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Butorphanol combined with dexmedetomidine could reduce early PONV and the number of patients requiring rescue antiemetics, especially at intervals of 1–6 h, while the satisfaction scores of both patients and surgeons were significantly increased.

Abstract
In patients undergoing craniotomy, general anesthesia should be addressed to warrant good hypnosis, immobility, and analgesia, to ensure systemic and cerebral physiological status and provide the best possible surgical field. Regarding craniotomies, it is unclear if there are substantial differences in providing general anesthesia using total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or balanced anesthesia (BA) accomplished using the third generation halogenates. New evidence highlighted that the last generation of halogenated agents has possible advantages compared with intravenous drugs: rapid induction, minimal absorption and metabolization, reproducible pharmacokinetic, faster recovery, cardioprotective effect, and opioid spare analgesia. This review aims to report evidence related to the use of the latest halogenated agents in patients undergoing craniotomy and to present available clinical evidence on their effects: cerebral and systemic hemodynamic, neurophysiological monitoring, and timing and quality of recovery after anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic subdural haematoma (cSDH) tends to occur in older patients, often with significant comorbidity. The incidence and effect of medical complications as well as the impact of intraoperative management strategies are now attracting increasing interest. OBJECTIVES We used electronic health record data to study the profile of in-hospital morbidity and examine associations between various intraoperative events and postoperative stay. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Single-centre, retrospective cohort of 530 cases of cSDH (2014-2019) surgically evacuated under general anaesthesia at a neurosciences centre in Cambridge, UK. METHODS AND OUTCOME DEFINITION Complications were defined using a modified Electronic Postoperative Morbidity Score. Association between complications and intraoperative care (time with mean arterial pressure <80 mm Hg, time outside of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) range of 3-5 kPa, maintenance anaesthetic, operative time and opioid dose) on postoperative stay was assessed using Cox regression. RESULTS 53 (10%) patients suffered myocardial injury, while 24 (4.5%) suffered acute renal injury. On postoperative day 3 (D3), 280 (58% of remaining) inpatients suffered at least 1 complication. D7 rate was comparable (57%). Operative time was the only intraoperative event associated with postoperative stay (HR for discharge: 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95 to 0.99)). On multivariable analysis, postoperative complications (0.61 (0.55 to 0.68)), anticoagulation (0.45 (0.37 to 0.54)) and cognitive impairment (0.71 (0.58 to 0.87)) were associated with time to discharge. CONCLUSIONS There is a high postoperative morbidity burden in this cohort, which was associated with postoperative stay. We found no evidence of an association between intraoperative events and postoperative stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe neurological impairment is a problem after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Although volatile anaesthetics, such as sevoflurane, have demonstrated protective properties in many organs, their use in cerebral injury is controversial. Cerebral vasodilation may lead to increased intracranial pressure (ICP), but at the same time volatile anaesthetics are known to stabilise the SAH-injured endothelial barrier. OBJECTIVE To test the effect of sevoflurane on ICP and blood-brain barrier function. DESIGN Randomised study. PARTICIPANTS One hundred male Wistar rats included, 96 analysed. INTERVENTIONS SAH was induced by the endoluminal filament method under ketamine/xylazine anaesthesia. Fifteen minutes after sham surgery or induction of SAH, adult male Wistar rats were randomised to 4 h sedation with either propofol or sevoflurane. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mean arterial pressure (MAP), ICP, extravasation of water (small), Evan's blue (intermediate) and IgG (large molecule) were measured. Zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) and beta-catenin (β-catenin), as important representatives of tight and adherens junction proteins, were determined by western blot. RESULTS Propofol and sevoflurane sedation did not affect MAP or ICP in SAH animals. Extravasation of small molecules was higher in SAH-propofol compared with SAH-sevoflurane animals (79.1 ± 0.9 vs. 78.0 ± 0.7%, P = 0.04). For intermediate and large molecules, no difference was detected (P = 0.6 and P = 0.2). Both membrane and cytosolic fractions of ZO-1 as well as membrane β-catenin remained unaffected by the injury and type of sedation. Decreased cytosolic fraction of β-catenin in propofol-SAH animals (59 ± 15%) was found to reach values of sham animals (100%) in the presence of sevoflurane in SAH animals (89 ± 21%; P = 0.04). CONCLUSION This experiment demonstrates that low-dose short-term sevoflurane sedation after SAH in vivo did not affect ICP and MAP and at the same time may attenuate early brain oedema formation, potentially by preserving adherens junctions.

Abstract
Intraoperative relaxation of brain tissue is one of the important factors affecting the quality and successful outcome of neurosurgical interventions. Despite many clinical studies on the problem of brain bulging, many issues remain not fully resolved. First of all, these are safety aspects of the preventive and therapeutic use of various strategies to fight this phenomenon, development of indications for introduction of hyperosmotic solutions, and use of hyperventilation or lifting of the head end of the operating table.

Abstract
Propofol-based total intravenous anaesthesia is well known for its smooth, clear-headed recovery and anti-emetic properties, but there are also many lesser known beneficial properties that can potentially influence surgical outcome. We will discuss the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of propofol and their roles in pain, organ protection and immunity. We will also discuss the use of propofol in cancer surgery, neurosurgery and older patients.

Abstract
Background: The effects of ketofol (a combination of ketamine and propofol) on systemic hemodynamics and requirement of opioids/Propofol have already been studied and published. However, there is paucity in the literature on the effects of ketofol on cerebral oxygenation. This study aims to compare the effects of ketofol (ketamine + propofol [1:5]) with propofol on cerebral oxygenation using jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2), in patients undergoing surgical clipping of intracranial aneurysms. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 World Federation of Neurosurgeons I and II patients were randomized into ketofol (n = 20) and propofol (n = 20) groups. Postinduction, SjVO2 catheter was inserted, and anesthesia was maintained with propofol and fentanyl in the propofol group and ketofol and fentanyl in the ketofol group. Jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjVO2) was obtained at baseline, 1 h and 2 h intraoperatively, and at 6 h after the surgery. Intraoperative hemodynamics and brain relaxation scores were also noted. Results: Entire SjVO2 values in both groups were within the normal limits. Higher SjVO2 values were observed in ketofol group compared to propofol at 1 and 2 h after starting of the drug and at 6 h after surgery (P < 0.05). In propofol group, a significant fall in SjVO2 was recorded at 2 h after beginning the drug as compared to the baseline (P = 0.001). More than 20% fall in mean arterial pressure (MAP) compared to baseline MAP was noted in 75% of patients in propofol group and 15% of patients in ketofol group (P = 0.002). In propofol group, 55% of patients required rescue drug phenylephrine to treat hypotension, whereas only 15% of patients required it in ketofol group (P = 0.02). Fentanyl requirement in ketofol group was less as compared to the propofol group (P = 0.022). Brain relaxation scores were comparable in both the study groups (P = 0.887). Conclusion: Maintenance of anesthesia with ketofol provides better cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamic stability compared to propofol in neurosurgical patients.

Optic nerve sheath diameter changes during gynecologic surgery in the Trendelenburg position: comparison of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia and sevoflurane anesthesia. Anesth Pain Med (Seoul) 2019; 14:393-400.

Abstract
Background Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), a disadvantage of laparoscopic or robotic surgery, is caused by the steep angle of the Trendelenburg position and the CO2 pneumoperitoneum. Recently, sonographically measured optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was suggested as a simple and non-invasive method for detecting increased ICP. This study aimed to explore the changes in ONSD in relation to different anesthetic agents used in gynecologic surgery. Methods Fifty patients were randomly allocated to two groups, sevoflurane (group SEV, n = 25) and propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) group (group TIVA, n = 25). The ONSD was measured at five time points (T0–T4): T0 was measured 5 min after induction of anesthesia in the supine position; T1, T2, and T3 were measured at 5, 15, and 30 min after CO2 pneumoperitoneum induction in the Trendelenburg position; and T4 was measured at 5 min after discontinuation of CO2 pneumoperitoneum in the supine position. Respiratory and hemodynamic variables were also recorded. Results The intra-group changes in mean ONSD in the Trendelenburg position were significantly increased in both groups. However, inter-group changes in mean ONSD were not significantly different at T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4. Heart rates in group TIVA were significantly lower than those in group SEV at points T1–T4. Conclusions There was no significant difference in the ONSD between the two groups until 30 min into the gynecologic surgery with CO2 pneumoperitoneum in the Trendelenburg position. This study suggests that there is no difference in the ONSD between the two anesthetic methods.

Abstract
Palatoplasty is performed with neck extension in patients with a cleft palate. The neck extension required for a better surgical view during palatoplasty can affect intracranial pressure. We evaluated the effect of neck extension on intracranial pressure by measuring the optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasonography during palatoplasty. The optic nerve sheath diameter was measured in 30 patients at 10 min after anesthetic induction in the supine position (T1), at 10 min after neck extension before preparing for a sterile field (T2), at the end of surgery with neck extension (T3), and at 10 min after the supine position (T4). Hemodynamic and respiratory variables such as systolic blood pressure, heart rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure, and peak airway pressure were also measured at the same time points. In comparison with the optic nerve sheath diameter measured at 10 min after anesthetic induction in the supine position (T1), the mean optic nerve sheath diameters were significantly increased at 10 min after neck extension before preparing for a sterile field (T2), at the end of surgery with neck extension (T3), and at 10 min after the supine position (T4; 4.19 ± 0.26, 5.20 ± 0.29, 4.38 ± 0.36, and 4.35 ± 0.30 mm, respectively). However, hemodynamic and respiratory variables were not significantly different at all time points. We found that the optic nerve sheath diameter, an indicator of intracranial pressure, was increased during palatoplasty with neck extension, which suggests that the position may affect the intracranial pressure of patients with a cleft palate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balanced crystalloid solutions induce less hyperchloremia than normal saline, but their role as primary fluid replacement for children undergoing surgery is unestablished. We hypothesized that balanced crystalloids induce less chloride and metabolic derangements than 0.9% saline solutions in children undergoing brain tumor resection. METHODS In total, 53 patients (age range, 6 mo to 12 y) were randomized to receive balanced crystalloid (balanced group) or 0.9% saline solution (saline group) during and after (for 24 h) brain tumor resection. Serum electrolyte and arterial blood gas analyses were performed at the beginning of surgery (baseline), after surgery, and at postoperative day 1. The primary trial outcome was the absolute difference in serum chloride concentrations (post-preopΔCl) measured after surgery and at baseline. Secondary outcomes included the post-preopΔ of other electrolytes and base excess (BE); hyperchloremic acidosis incidence; and the brain relaxation score, a 4-point scale evaluated by the surgeon for assessing brain edema. RESULTS Saline infusion increased post-preopΔCl (6 [3.5; 8.5] mmol/L) compared with balanced crystalloid (0 [-1.0; 3.0] mmol/L; P<0.001). Saline use also resulted in increased post-preopΔBE (-4.4 [-5.0; -2.3] vs. -0.4 [-2.7; 1.3] mmol/L; P<0.001) and hyperchloremic acidosis incidence (6/25 [24%] vs. 0; P=0.022) compared with balanced crystalloid. Brain relaxation score was comparable between groups. CONCLUSIONS In children undergoing brain tumor resection, saline infusion increased variation in serum chloride compared with balanced crystalloid. These findings support the use of balanced crystalloid solutions in children undergoing brain tumor resection.

Abstract
Background It is unclear if anaesthesia maintenance with propofol is advantageous or beneficial over inhalational agents. This study is intended to compare the effects of propofol vs. inhalational agents in maintaining general anaesthesia on patient-relevant outcomes and patient satisfaction. Methods Studies were identified by electronic database searches in PubMed™, EMBASE™ and the Cochrane™ library between 01/01/1985 and 01/08/2016. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of peer-reviewed journals were studied. Of 6688 studies identified, 229 RCTs were included with a total of 20,991 patients. Quality control, assessment of risk of bias, meta-bias, meta-regression and certainty in evidence were performed according to Cochrane. Common estimates were derived from fixed or random-effects models depending on the presence of heterogeneity. Post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was the primary outcome. Post-operative pain, emergence agitation, time to recovery, hospital length of stay, post-anaesthetic shivering and haemodynamic instability were considered key secondary outcomes. Results The risk for PONV was lower with propofol than with inhalational agents (relative risk (RR) 0.61 [0.53, 0.69], p < 0.00001). Additionally, pain score after extubation and time in the post-operative anaesthesia care unit (PACU) were reduced with propofol (mean difference (MD) − 0.51 [− 0.81, − 0.20], p = 0.001; MD − 2.91 min [− 5.47, − 0.35], p = 0.03). In turn, time to respiratory recovery and tracheal extubation were longer with propofol than with inhalational agents (MD 0.82 min [0.20, 1.45], p = 0.01; MD 0.70 min [0.03, 1.38], p = 0.04, respectively). Notably, patient satisfaction, as reported by the number of satisfied patients and scores, was higher with propofol (RR 1.06 [1.01, 1.10], p = 0.02; MD 0.13 [0.00, 0.26], p = 0.05). Secondary analyses supported the primary results. Conclusions Based on the present meta-analysis there are several advantages of anaesthesia maintenance with propofol over inhalational agents. While these benefits result in an increased patient satisfaction, the clinical and economic relevance of these findings still need to be addressed in adequately powered prospective clinical trials.

Abstract
Microvascular decompression (MVD) is associated with a particularly high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) among craniotomy patients. However, there is no information regarding the effect of prophylactic palonosetron and sugammadex on PONV in patients undergoing MVD under propofol-maintained anesthesia.Medical records of 274 adults who had undergone MVD under propofol-maintained anesthesia were reviewed. Patients were classified into 4 groups, based on the reversal agent used (sugammadex/pyridostigmine) and whether or not prophylactic palonosetron was used. The PONV incidence and risk factors were analyzed according to the use of these agents.The overall incidence of PONV was 30.7% during the first 24 hours postoperatively. The incidence of PONV was lower in the group using combination of prophylactic palonosetron and sugammadex (19.3%) compared with the group not using both agents (37.2%). The combined use of the prophylactic palonosetron and sugammadex was identified as a factor affecting the occurrence of PONV in both univariable (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21-0.77, P = .006) and multivariable (OR = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.20-0.75, P = .005) logistic regression analyses. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, female sex was also significant independent risk factor in PONV (OR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.35-5.08, P = .004).In this retrospective observational study, the combined use of prophylactic palonosetron before anesthetic induction and sugammadex as a reversal of neuromuscular blockade are associated with a reduction in the incidence of PONV in patients undergoing MVD under propofol-maintained anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the requirement of propofol in children is increasing, propofol for induction and maintenance of anesthesia below 3 years old has not been approved in Korea. This study can provide a clinical evidence to increase the range of approval. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients below 3 years of age who underwent surgery between September 2013 and December 2016. Safety was evaluated on the basis of vital signs, and laboratory findings and efficacy were evaluated on the basis of the bispectral index (BIS). Adverse events were examined. RESULTS A total of 109 patients anesthetized with propofol (propofol group) were compared with 109 patients with volatile anesthetics (volatile group) after propensity score matching. There was a difference in the proportion of patients showing decreased systolic pressure (P < 0.001) and heart rate (P = 0.03), but there was no difference in diastolic pressure (P = 0.238), mean arterial pressure (P = 0.175) during surgery. After surgery, there was no difference in all vital signs and the proportion patients who experienced adverse events of two groups. CONCLUSIONS Propofol anesthesia by target-controlled infusion was effective and didn't show serious propofol-related perioperative adverse events.

Abstract
Background and Aims: In contrast to propofol, volatile agents are often considered harmful to maintain anesthesia due to increasing brain volume and potential deleterious effects. Patients for cranioplasty, including patients with large bone defects, could be susceptible for intraoperative complications but have not properly been investigated so far. The aim of the present study was to evaluate brain swelling, intraoperative conditions, surgical course, and postoperative complication rates of propofol-based vs. volatile-based anesthesia. Material and Methods: In this monocentric, retrospective, and observational study, we collected demographic, clinical, and outcome data of patients undergoing cranioplasty between December 2010 and September 2014. According to the hypnotic drug used, patients were assigned to either a propofol or a volatile group. The primary outcome parameter was brain swelling. For comparison of the groups, univariate analysis was performed using Chi-square and Mann–Whitney-U test. Results: One hundred and one patients were identified in the period. Twenty-three patients were excluded due to cerebrospinal fluid diversion. Baseline characteristics and preoperative conditions did not vary between the groups except a higher body mass index and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in the propofol group. The choice of anesthesia (volatile or intravenous) influence neither the intraoperative local conditions nor postoperative complication rate. No significant risk factor for impaired bone flap placement was identified. Conclusions: In a well-defined cohort, the choice of the anesthetic agent does not influence the degree of intraoperative brain swelling, bone flap fit, and postoperative course.

Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery can cause raised intracranial pressures (ICP) due to steep trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum. The choice of anesthetic agents can influence the ICP, which can be measured indirectly by correlating it with the sonographically measured optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD). In this study, our primary aim was to compare the change from baseline of the ONSD during propofol versus sevoflurane-maintained anesthesia in patients undergoing robotic pelvic surgery. In this prospective, interventional, double-blinded study, we randomised 50 patients into two groups P and S. Subjects in group P received intravenous propofol infusion while those in group S received inhalation sevoflurane for maintenance of anesthesia. The ONSD at fixed intervals was noted as the mean of four values measured using ultrasound in both eyes by two independent anesthesiologists who were blinded to the group allocation. The patient demographics and baseline parameters were similar. The mean maximum rise in ONSD from baseline was 0.01 ± 0.01 cm in group P while it was 0.03 ± 0.01 cm in group S (p = 0.001). Percentage change from baseline in group P was 3.41 ± 1.81% and 8.00 ± 2.95% in group S (p = 0.001). We found a positive correlation between the duration of surgery and the maximum rise in ONSD in group S (p = 0.003), but not in group P. Propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia is more effective than inhalation sevoflurane in attenuating the increase in ICP as correlated with the ONSD during robotic pelvic surgery.Clinical trial registration: Yes; Principal investigator: Nambiath Sujata; Trial number: REF/2016/11/012713 (registered); Trial registry: CTRI- http://ctri.nic.in .

Abstract
Background Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) requires pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position to optimize surgical exposure, which can increase intracranial pressure (ICP). Anesthetic agents also influence ICP. We compared the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) as a surrogate for ICP in prostate cancer patients who underwent RALP. Methods Thirty-six patients were randomly allocated to groups receiving propofol (propofol group, n = 18) or sevoflurane (sevoflurane group, n = 18) anesthesia. The ONSD was measured 10 min after induction of anesthesia in the supine position (T1); 5 min (T2), 30 min (T3), and 60 min (T4) after establishing pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position; and at the end of surgery after desufflation in the supine position (T5). Respiratory and hemodynamic variables were also evaluated. Results The ONSD was significantly different between the propofol group and the sevoflurane group at T4 (5.27 ± 0.35 mm vs. 5.57 ± 0.28 mm, P = 0.007), but not at other time points. The ONSDs at T2, T3, T4, and T5 were significantly greater than at T1 in both groups (all P < 0.001). Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure, arterial oxygen partial pressure, peak airway pressure, plateau airway pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure variation, body temperature and regional cerebral oxygen saturation, except heart rate, were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusions The ONSD was significantly lower during propofol anesthesia than during sevoflurane anesthesia 60 min after pneumoperitoneum and the Trendelenburg position, suggesting that propofol anesthesia may help minimize ICP changes in robotic prostatectomy patients.

Abstract
Volatile anesthetic-induced preconditioning (APC) has shown to have cardiac and cerebral protective properties in both pre-clinical models and clinical trials. Interestingly, accumulating evidences demonstrate that, except from some specific characters, the underlying molecular mechanisms of APC-induced protective effects in myocytes and neurons are very similar; they share several major intracellular signaling pathways, including mediating mitochondrial function, release of inflammatory cytokines and cell apoptosis. Among all the experimental results, cortical spreading depolarization is a relative newly discovered cellular mechanism of APC, which, however, just exists in central nervous system. Applying volatile anesthetic preconditioning to clinical practice seems to be a promising cardio-and neuroprotective strategy. In this review, we also summarized and discussed the results of recent clinical research of APC. Despite all the positive experimental evidences, large-scale, long-term, more precisely controlled clinical trials focusing on the perioperative use of volatile anesthetics for organ protection are still needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile sedation in the intensive care unit (ICU) may reduce the number of adverse events and improve patient outcomes compared with intravenous (IV) sedation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the effects of volatile and IV sedation in adult ICU patients. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register, and Web of Science databases for all randomized trials comparing volatile sedation using an anesthetic-conserving device (ACD) with IV sedation in terms of awakening and extubation times, lengths of ICU and hospital stay, and pharmacologic end-organ effects. RESULTS Thirteen trials with a total of 1027 patients were included. Volatile sedation (sevoflurane or isoflurane) administered through an ACD shortened the awakening time [mean difference (MD), -80.0 minutes; 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs), -134.5 to -25.6; P = .004] and extubation time (MD, -196.0 minutes; 95% CIs, -305.2 to -86.8; P < .001) compared with IV sedation (midazolam or propofol). No differences in the lengths of ICU and hospital stay were noted between the 2 groups. In the analysis of cardiac effects of sedation from 5 studies, patients who received volatile sedation showed lower serum troponin levels 6 hours after ICU admission than patients who received IV sedation (P < .05). The effect size of troponin was largest between 12 and 24 hours after ICU admission (MD, -0.27 μg/L; 95% CIs, -0.44 to -0.09; P = .003). CONCLUSION Compared with IV sedation, volatile sedation administered through an ACD in the ICU shortened the awakening and extubation times. Considering the difference in serum troponin levels between both arms, volatile anesthetics might have a myocardial protective effect after cardiac surgery even at a subanesthetic dose. Because the included studies used small sample sizes with high heterogeneity, further large, high-quality prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm our findings.
