Abstract
Objective The role of esketamine in pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of esketamine for pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods Clinical trials of esketamine for pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy were searched in eight common databases, up to October 2023. These clinical trials were included in the meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA). The risk ratio (RR) and weighted mean difference (WMD) were used as the effect sizes for dichotomous variables and continuity variables, respectively. When the heterogeneity test showed I2 < 50%, the fixed effects model was used for the meta-analysis and TSA; Otherwise, the random effects model was used for them. Results In terms of efficacy endpoints, the meta-analysis showed that compared with placebo or blank, esketamine significantly decreased recovery time by 2.34 min (WMD -2.34; 95% Confidence interval [CI] -3.65, -1.02; p = 0.0005) and propofol consumption by 0.70 mg/kg (WMD -0.70; 95% CI -0.98, -0.43; p < 0.00001), and increased mean heart rate by 4.77 beats/min (WMD 4.77; 95% CI 2.67, 6.87; p < 0.00001) and mean arterial pressure by 3.10 mmHg (WMD 3.10; 95% CI 1.52, 4.67; p = 0.0001), while induction time and mean blood oxygen remained comparable. TSA indicated conclusive evidence for these benefits. In terms of safety endpoints, the meta-analysis revealed that esketamine significantly reduced involuntary movements by 59% (RR 0.41; 95% CI 0.22, 0.76; p = 0.005) and choking by 51% (RR 0.49; 95% CI 0.26, 0.92; p = 0.03), while significantly increasing dizziness by 98% (RR 1.98; 95% CI 1.11, 3.56; p = 0.02) and there were no significant differences in total adverse events, respiratory depression, and vomiting. TSA demonstrated conclusive evidence for involuntary movements and dizziness. Low-dose analysis showed that esketamine at ≤0.3 mg/kg significantly reduced recovery time, propofol consumption and involuntary movements, and significantly increasing mean heart rate, with no increase in dizziness. The Begg's test (p = 0.327) and the Egger's test (p = 0.413) indicated no significant publication bias, yet the funnel plot suggested potential publication bias. Conclusion Esketamine is an effective adjuvant anesthesia for children undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. However, the general dose of esketamine may increase the risk of dizziness, which can be avoided by administering a low dose (≤0.3 mg/kg).

Abstract
Analyzing the vast data from FAERS database to evaluate the association between Esketamine and specific adverse events to guide clinical practice and regulatory decisions. Data related to Esketamine adverse events from 2019 Q1 to 2023 Q1 were collected from FAERS database. After data standardization, various signal quantification technologies, such as ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and MGPS, were employed to identify and evaluate adverse reaction signals closely related to the use of Esketamine comprehensively. A total of 5061 reports with Esketamine as the primary suspected drug were obtained, identifying 117 adverse reaction terms (PT) involving 27 system organ class (SOC) categories. Apart from the adverse events already mentioned in the drug's instructions, this study identified some new, clinically valuable potential AE signals, such as Flashback, Tachyphylaxis, and Autoscopy. In addition, high-ranking results included euphoric mood, feeling of relaxation, and feeling drunk. Notably, the occurrence frequencies of suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were relatively high, so clinicians should be particularly vigilant about these potential adverse reactions when using Esketamine. Moreover, since this drug is administered as a nasal spray, issues such as drug monitoring procedure incorrectly performed and nasal discomfort may arise. This study underscores the potential adverse reactions and risks of Esketamine in clinical applications, especially regarding long-term efficacy, addiction risks, and suicidal risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to estimate the safety, efficacy, and median effective dose (ED50) of esketamine for preventing early postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS 54 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were prospectively randomized into two groups (group C and group E). Different doses of esketamine were intravenously administered before the skin incision in Group E. The patients in group C received the same dose of saline at the same time. General population characteristics were recorded. The median effective dose (ED50) and 95% effective dose (ED95) were calculated using Dixon's up-and-down method. Hemodynamic parameters were monitored, and pain intensity was assessed using a visual analog scale. We also recorded the condition of anesthesia recovery period and postoperative adverse reactions. RESULTS The ED50 of esketamine for preventing early postoperative pain was 0.301 mg/kg (95%CI: 0.265-0.342 mg/kg), and the ED95 was 0.379 mg/kg (95%CI: 0.340-0.618 mg/kg), calculated by probability unit regression. Heart rate (HR) was significantly lower in the esketamine group compared to the control at the skin incision (p < 0.05). The total VAS score at resting was significantly lower in the esketamine group compared to the control group during the awakening period (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the incidence of adverse reactions (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In this study, esketamine can prevent early postoperative pain effectively. The ED50 and ED95 of esketamine for controlling early postoperative pain were 0.301 mg/kg and 0.379 mg/kg, respectively. TRIAL REGISTRATION ChiCTR2200066663, 13/12/2022.

Effect of pre-use of Dexmedetomidine on the effective inhibitory dose of remimazolam tosilate on positive cardiovascular response in double-lumen endobronchial intubation: a clinical study. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:382. [PMID: 37996787 PMCID: PMC10666458 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02305-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Herein, the effect of pre-use of Dexmedetomidine(Dex) on the half-effective dose (ED50) and 95%-effective dose (ED95) of Remimazolam tosilate(RT) in inhibiting the positive cardiovascular response(CR) which means blood pressure or heart rate rises above a critical threshold induced by double-lumen bronchial intubation was evaluated. METHODS Patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery were divided into groups A (0), B (0.5 µg/kg), and C (1 µg/kg) based on different Dex doses. Group A included subgroups comprising young (A-Y) and elderly (A-O) patients. Neither groups B nor C included elderly patients due of the sedative effect of Dex. Based on the previous subject's CR, the dose of RT was increased or decreased in the next patient using the sequential method. This trial would be terminated when the seventh crossover occurred, at which point the sample size met the stable estimate of the target dose. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were monitored throughout the trial, and sedation was assessed using the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S) scale. HR and MAP were recorded at baseline (T1), the end of Dex (T2), and the end of RT (T3), the maximum HR and MAP were recorded within 3 min of intubation from beginning to end (T4). There was a positive CR when the T4 levels rose above 15% of the baseline. The ED50/ED95 and corresponding confidence interval were calculated using probability regression. RESULTS In total, 114 patients completed the trial. Without the use of Dex, the ED50/ED95 of TR inhibiting the positive CR caused by double-lumen bronchial intubation was 0.198/0.227 and 0.155/0.181 mg/kg in groups A-Y and A-O, respectively. The changes in vital signs from T1 to T3 were similar in the subgroups, indicating that the elderly patients were more sensitive to the dose of RT. The ED50/ED95 of RT inhibiting the positive CR caused by double-lumen endobronchial intubation was 0.122/0.150 and 0.068/0.084 mg/kg in groups B and C, respectively. And, the fluctuation of blood pressure from T3 to T4 was reduced by using Dex. RT was 100% effective in sedation with no significant inhibition of circulation. Apart from one case of hypotension occurred in group A-Y, two cases of low HR in group B, and one case of low HR in group C, no other adverse events were noted. CONCLUSIONS The optimal dose of RT to inhibit positive CR induced by double-lumen bronchial intubation in elderly patients was 0.18 mg/kg and 0.23 mg/kg in younger patients. When the pre-use dose of Dex was 0.5 µg/kg, the optimal dose to inhibit positive CR of RT was 0.15 mg/kg. And, when the pre-use dose of Dex was 1 µg/kg, the optimal dose of RT was 0.9 mg/kg.

Luo J, Yin K, Zhao D, Zhang Z, Sun R. Effect of intravenous induction with different doses of Esketamine combined with propofol and sufentanil on intraocular pressure among pediatric strabismus surgery: a randomized clinical trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:275. [PMID: 37582704 PMCID: PMC10426143 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02238-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well-established that maintaining stable intraocular pressure (IOP) within the normal range during ophthalmic surgery is important. Esketamine is a commonly used drug in pediatric general anesthesia due to its good analgesic and sedative effects. However, its application in ophthalmic surgery is limited because it can increase IOP. The effect of esketamine combined with other common anesthetics on IOP has been underinvestigated. This study aimed to investigate the effect of different doses of esketamine combined with propofol and sufentanil on IOP during intravenous induction of general anesthesia for pediatric strabismus surgery. METHODS A total of 181 children with strabismus undergoing unilateral eye surgery under general anesthesia were recruited. Intravenous induction included the use of sufentanil 0.1 µg/kg, propofol 3 mg/kg, and esketamine. Base on the dosage of esketamine, the patients were randomly allocated into three groups: esketamine low (EL) group with 0.25 mg/kg (n = 62), esketamine high (EH) group with 0.5 mg/kg (n = 60), and normal saline (NS) group (n = 59). Hemodynamic parameters, respiratory parameters, and IOP of the non-surgical eye were recorded and compared among the three groups at different time points: before induction (T0), 1 min after induction but before laryngeal mask insertion (T1), immediately after laryngeal mask insertion (T2), and 2 min after laryngeal mask insertion (T3). RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and respiratory parameters among the three groups at T0. The IOP at T1, T2, and T3 was lower than that at T0 in all three groups. The EH group (12.6 ± 1.6 mmHg) had a significantly higher IOP than the EL group (12.0 ± 1.6 mmHg) and the NS group (11.6 ± 1.7 mmHg) at T1. However, no difference was found between the EL and NS groups at any time point. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) at T1, T2, and T3 were lower than at baseline, and SBP and HR were higher at T2 than at T1. Additionally, the EH group had a significantly higher HR at T1 than the other two groups. There was no significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) among the three groups at any time point. CONCLUSION Propofol combined with sufentanil significantly decreased IOP during the induction of general anesthesia. Although a dose of 0.5 mg/kg esketamine elevated IOP compared to the low-dose and control groups after induction, the IOP remained lower than baseline. 0.25 mg/kg esketamine combined with propofol and sufentanil had little effect on IOP. Therefore, we advocate that a maximum dose of 0.5 mg/kg esketamine combined with propofol and sufentanil will not elevate IOP compared to baseline in pediatric strabismus surgery.
