J Voice 2023:S0892-1997(23)00022-X. [PMID: 36889990 DOI: 10.1016/j.jvoice.2023.01.017] [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: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE In order to establish the ideal anesthetic protocol in thyroplasty type I surgery, where the intraoperative voice test is used to guide the medialization of the paralyzed fold, we have studied the effects of a sedation with midazolam premedication and adjusted intravenous doses of propofol and remifentanil on voice quality in patients without vocal fold pathology undergoing otorhinolaryngology surgery other than thyroplasty. STUDY DESIGN Prospective cross-sectional study included 40 adult patients. METHOD A voice recording was performed when the patient was fully awake and when an appropriate level of conscious sedation was reached. Following premedication with midazolam at anxiolytic doses, remifentanil and propofol were administrated by target controlled infusion pumps (TCI). These results were compared with those obtained in a previous study carried out by the same team using intravenous bolus (IV) according to weight. The recorded voice analysis was performed using the computer program Praat (v.5.3.39) for a sustained vowel. RESULTS All the parameters obtained from the acoustic analysis of the voice were altered after sedation with target controlled infusion in a statistically significant way. Comparing with bolus intravenous, harmonic and noise ratio (HNR) was the only parameter that decreased less in the TCI group. CONCLUSION The state of sedation obtained using midazolam premedication, propofol and remifentanil adjusted intravenous doses alters significantly all the voice parameters, although this alteration is considerably less than the changes produced by the medication administered in bolus IV. According to these results, the sedation and the voice test during thyroplasty surgery would present a series of limitations when it comes to guiding the medialization of the paralyzed vocal fold and therefore it could not be considered as the ideal anesthetic protocol in thyroplasty surgery.

Yu LS, Xie WP, Liu JF, Wang J, Cao H, Wang ZC, Chen Q. A comparison of the outcomes of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil with sufentanil-based general anesthesia in pediatric patients for the transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects. J Cardiothorac Surg 2021; 16:111. [PMID: 33892771 PMCID: PMC8063160 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-021-01498-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil with sufentanil-based general anesthesia for the transthoracic device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) in pediatric patients. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 60 children undergoing the transthoracic device closure of VSDs from January 2019 to June 2020. The patients were divided into two groups based on different anesthesia strategies, including 30 cases in group R (dexmedetomidine- and remifentanil-based general anesthesia) and 30 cases in group S (sufentanil-based general anesthesia). Results There was no significant difference in preoperative clinical information, hemodynamics before induction and after extubation, postoperative pain scores, or length of hospital stay between the two groups. However, the hemodynamic data of group R were significantly lower than those of group S at the time points of anesthesia induction, skin incision, thoracotomy, incision closure, and extubation. The amount of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA), the duration of mechanical ventilation, and the length of the intensive care unit (ICU) stay in group R were significantly less than those in group S. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine combined with remifentanil-based general anesthesia for the transthoracic device closure of VSDs in pediatric patients is safe and effective.
