Abstract
Severe traumatic damage to the brain-to-body signaling bundle that results in bruising and a partial or total tear of the spinal cord is known as a spinal cord injury (SCI). SCI may develop at the time of an event or after. It can also develop while handling the patient and can worsen during the transportation of the patient. So prehospital care is crucial to prevent or minimize SCI. Prehospital care involves examining the patient, immobilizing the cervical spine (C-spine), providing cardiovascular support (keeping the mean arterial blood pressure over 85 mmHg), and carefully managing the airway (possibly intubating the patient using manual in-line stabilization (MILS)). Methylprednisolone (MPS) and other pharmacological treatments have not been shown to offer clinically meaningful and essential benefits for people with SCI. The therapeutic use of MPS in patients with SCI in the prehospital context is no longer supported. Additionally, whether or not pharmaceutical drugs will be effective in therapeutic hypothermia is unknown. When performing endotracheal intubation on these patients, the potential for C-spine damage is always considered. During intubation, the MILS approach significantly reduces C-spine movement. The MILS method, however, can potentially restrict mouth opening and result in subpar laryngoscopic vision. These issues can be handled using the recently developed video laryngoscope, such as Airtraq laryngoscope and AirWay Scope (AWS). Compared to a direct laryngoscope, the AWS and Airtraq laryngoscope reduced the improvement of intubation conditions and the acceleration of tracheal intubation through the occiput-C1 and C2-C4 levels of the C-spine extension movement.

Abstract
Background Remimazolam tosilate (RT) is a novel ultrashort-acting γ-aminobutyric acid subtype A (GABAA) agonist, with several advantages including rapid induction and recovery, stable haemodynamics, and mild respiratory inhibition. However, studies have not been conducted to explore the haemodynamic effects of RT in elderly hypertensive subjects undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Therefore, we sought to compare the effects of anaesthesia induction using different doses of RT and etomidate on the haemodynamics of this group of patients. Methods Patients were recruited into this single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind trial from October 2022 to June 2023. A total of 150 hypertensive elderly undergoing non-cardiac surgery were randomly assigned into 0.2 mg/kg RT group (Group RL), 0.3 mg/kg RT group (Group RH) and 0.3 mg/kg etomidate group (Group E). The primary outcome of the study was haemodynamic changes (mean arterial pressure fluctuation value -∆MAP and heart rate fluctuation value -∆HR) observed during anaesthesia induction. Secondary outcomes included incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and adverse drug reactions (injection pain and myoclonus), cumulative doses of vasoactive drugs and vital signs at different time points. Results Patients in Group E and Group RL had significantly lower haemodynamic fluctuations (∆MAP), lower incidence of hypotension and cumulative dose of ephedrine than subjects in Group RH. Patients in groups RL and RH had significantly lower incidence of injection pain and myoclonus compared with patients in group E. The results showed no statistically significant differences in ∆HR, hypertension, bradycardia, tachycardia, and time to loss of eye-opening reflex and start of intubation, and vital signs at different time points among the three groups. Conclusion Use of low-dose RT (0.2 mg/kg) for induction of non-cardiac surgical anaesthesia in elderly hypertensive patients is more effective in maintaining haemodynamic stability and has fewer adverse effects compared with etomidate.

Abstract
Background Methoxyflurane is approved for relief of moderate to severe pain in conscious adult trauma patients: it may be self-administrated and is well suited for use in austere environments. Trauma patients may sustain injuries causing occult haemorrhage compromising haemodynamic stability, and it is therefore important to elucidate whether methoxyflurane may adversely affect the haemodynamic response to hypovolaemia. Methods In this randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, three-period crossover study, inhaled methoxyflurane 3 ml, i.v. fentanyl 25 μg, and placebo were administered to 15 healthy volunteers exposed to experimental hypovolaemia in the lower body negative pressure model. The primary endpoint was the effect of treatment on changes in cardiac output, while secondary endpoints were changes in stroke volume and mean arterial pressure and time to haemodynamic decompensation during lower body negative pressure. Results There were no statistically significant effects of treatment on the changes in cardiac output, stroke volume, or mean arterial pressure during lower body negative pressure. The time to decompensation was longer for methoxyflurane compared with fentanyl (hazard ratio 1.9; 95% confidence interval 0.4-3.4; P=0.010), whereas there was no significant difference to placebo (hazard ratio -1.3; 95% confidence interval -2.8 to 0.23; P=0.117). Conclusions The present study does not indicate that methoxyflurane has significant adverse haemodynamic effects in conscious adults experiencing hypovolaemia.

Abstract
Cardiac injuries are rare but potentially life-threatening, with a significant proportion of victims dying before arrival at the hospital. The in-hospital mortality among patients who arrive in-hospital alive also remains significantly high, despite major advancements in trauma care including the continuous updating of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program. Stab and gunshot wounds due to assault or self-inflicted injuries are the common causes of penetrating cardiac injuries, while motor vehicular accidents and fall from height are attributable causes of blunt cardiac injury. Rapid transport of victim to trauma care facility, prompt recognition of cardiac trauma by clinical evaluation and focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination, quick decision-making to perform emergency department thoracotomy, and/or shifting the patient expeditiously to the operating room for operative intervention with ongoing resuscitation are the key components for a successful outcome in cardiac injury victims with cardiac tamponade or exsanguinating hemorrhage. Blunt cardiac injury with arrhythmias, myocardial dysfunction, or cardiac failure may need continuous cardiac monitoring or anesthetic care for operative procedure of other associated injuries. This mandates a multidisciplinary approach working in concert with agreed local protocols and shared goals. An anesthesiologist has a pivotal role to play as a team leader or member in the trauma pathway of severely injured patients. They are not only involved in in-hospital care as a perioperative physician but also participate in the organizational aspects of prehospital trauma systems and training of prehospital care providers/paramedics. There is sparse literature available on the anesthetic management of cardiac injury (penetrating as well as blunt) patients. This narrative review discusses the comprehensive management of cardiac injury patients, focusing on the anesthetic concerns and is guided by our experience in managing cardiac injury cases at Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Center (JPNATC), All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. JPNATC is the only level 1 trauma center in north India, providing services to a population of approximately 30 million with around 9000 operations being performed annually.

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in a Patient with Acutely Decompensated Liver Disease and Personal History of Malignant Hyperthermia. Case Rep Anesthesiol 2022; 2022:4996977.

Abstract
Introduction Orthotopic liver transplants are characterized by sudden changes in hemodynamics, intraoperative hemorrhage, metabolic and electrolyte derangements, and arrhythmias. Many of these features are also hallmarks of malignant hyperthermia episodes and make differentiation difficult intraoperatively. Additionally, the treatment for malignant hyperthermia, dantrolene, can cause hepatotoxicity in already damaged native livers and newly reperfused organ allografts. Thus, it is imperative to avoid a triggering anesthetic in these patients. Here we report on a successful total intravenous anesthetic in a malignant hyperthermia susceptible individual undergoing an orthotopic liver transplant for acutely decompensated end-stage liver disease. Case Presentation. A 49-year-old male with a past medical history significant for malignant hyperthermia episodes as a child was admitted with decompensated alcoholic cirrhosis. He underwent uneventful total intravenous general anesthesia with propofol and sufentanil continuous infusions for an orthotopic liver transplant. He required minimal vasoactive agents to maintain a mean arterial blood pressure >65 mmHg and was extubated on postoperative day 1. Conclusions Total intravenous anesthesia is necessary for patients with a personal history of malignant hyperthermia. However, this type of general anesthesia is difficult in the setting of fluctuating hemodynamics, hemorrhage, and changes in drug metabolism and clearance during the anhepatic and reperfusion phases of an orthotopic liver transplant. Propofol and sufentanil continuous infusions provided stable hemodynamics and an excellent plane of anesthesia throughout the case and should be considered in other individuals undergoing this procedure who require a total intravenous anesthetic.

Abstract
Question Does etomidate compared with propofol provide a noninferior effect on in-hospital morbidity when used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in older patients undergoing abdominal surgery? Findings In this randomized clinical trial involving 1944 older patients who underwent elective abdominal surgery, the rate of major in-hospital complications was noninferior between patients who received etomidate and those who received propofol for general anesthesia (9.3% vs 8.7%). Meaning Findings of this trial indicate that etomidate anesthesia does not increase postoperative morbidity in older patients compared with propofol. Importance Older patients may benefit from the hemodynamic stability of etomidate for general anesthesia. However, it remains uncertain whether the potential for adrenocortical suppression with etomidate may increase morbidity. Objective To test the primary hypothesis that etomidate vs propofol for anesthesia does not increase in-hospital morbidity after abdominal surgery in older patients. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, parallel-group, noninferiority randomized clinical trial (Etomidate vs Propofol for In-hospital Complications [EPIC]) was conducted between August 15, 2017, and November 20, 2020, at 22 tertiary hospitals in China. Participants were aged 65 to 80 years and were scheduled for elective abdominal surgery. Patients and outcome assessors were blinded to group allocation. Data analysis followed a modified intention-to-treat principle. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either etomidate or propofol for general anesthesia by target-controlled infusion. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was a composite of major in-hospital postoperative complications (with a noninferiority margin of 3%). Secondary outcomes included intraoperative hemodynamic measurements; postoperative adrenocortical hormone levels; self-reported postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting; and mortality at postoperative months 6 and 12. Results A total of 1944 participants were randomized, of whom 1917 (98.6%) completed the trial. Patients were randomized to the etomidate group (n = 967; mean [SD] age, 70.3 [4.0] years; 578 men [59.8%]) or propofol group (n = 950; mean [SD] age, 70.6 [4.2] years; 533 men [56.1%]). The primary end point occurred in 90 of 967 patients (9.3%) in the etomidate group and 83 of 950 patients (8.7%) in the propofol group, which met the noninferiority criterion (risk difference [RD], 0.6%; 95% CI, –1.6% to 2.7%; P = .66). In the etomidate group, mean (SD) cortisol levels were lower at the end of surgery (4.8 [2.7] μg/dL vs 6.1 [3.4] μg/dL; P < .001), and mean (SD) aldosterone levels were lower at the end of surgery (0.13 [0.05] ng/dL vs 0.15 [0.07] ng/dL; P = .02) and on postoperative day 1 (0.14 [0.04] ng/dL vs 0.16 [0.06] ng/dL; P = .001) compared with the propofol group. No difference in mortality was observed between the etomidate and propofol groups at postoperative month 6 (2.2% vs 3.0%; RD, –0.8%; 95% CI, –2.2% to 0.7%) and 12 (3.3% vs 3.9%; RD, –0.6%; 95% CI, –2.3% to 1.0%). More patients had pneumonia in the etomidate group than in the propofol group (2.0% vs 0.3%; RD, 1.7%; 95% CI, 0.7% to 2.8%; P = .001). Results were consistent in the per-protocol population. Conclusions and Relevance Results of this trial showed that, compared with propofol, etomidate anesthesia did not increase overall major in-hospital morbidity after abdominal surgery in older patients, although it induced transient adrenocortical suppression.

Abstract
Introduction: Hemorrhagic shock (HS) is a severe medical emergency. Early diagnosis of HS is important for clinical treatment. In this paper, we report a flexible material-based heart sound monitoring device which can evaluate the degree of HS through a phonocardiogram (PCG) change. Methods: Progressive hemorrhage treatments (H1, H2, and H3 stage) were used in swine to build animal models. The PCG sensor was mounted on the chest of the swine. Routine monitoring was used at the same time. Results: This study showed that arterial blood pressure decreased significantly from the H1 phase, while second heart sound amplitude (S2A) and energy (S2E) decreased significantly from the H2 phase. Both S2A and S2E correlated well with BP (p < 0.001). The heart rate, pulse pressure variation and serum hemoglobin level significantly changed in the H3 stage (p < 0.05). Discussion: The change of second heart sound (S2) was at the H2 stage and was earlier than routine monitoring methods. Therefore, PCG change may be a new indicator for the early detection of HS severity.

Abstract
Definitive management of trauma is not possible in the out-of-hospital environment. Rapid treatment and transport of trauma casualties to a trauma center are vital to improve survival and outcomes. Prioritization and management of airway, oxygenation, ventilation, protection from gross aspiration, and physiologic optimization must be balanced against timely patient delivery to definitive care. The optimal prehospital airway management strategy for trauma has not been clearly defined; the best choice should be patient-specific. NAEMSP recommends:The approach to airway management and the choice of airway interventions in a trauma patient requires an iterative, individualized assessment that considers patient, clinician, and environmental factors.Optimal trauma airway management should focus on meeting the goals of adequate oxygenation and ventilation rather than on specific interventions. Emergency medical services (EMS) clinicians should perform frequent reassessments to determine if there is a need to escalate from basic to advanced airway interventions.Management of immediately life-threatening injuries should take priority over advanced airway insertion.Drug-assisted airway management should be considered within a comprehensive algorithm incorporating failed airway options and balanced management of pain, agitation, and delirium.EMS medical directors must be highly engaged in assuring clinician competence in trauma airway assessment, management, and interventions.

Abstract
Etomidate is a hypnotic agent that is used for the induction of anesthesia. It produces its effect by acting as a positive allosteric modulator on the γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor and thus enhancing the effect of the inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid. Etomidate stands out among other anesthetic agents by having a remarkably stable cardiorespiratory profile, producing no cardiovascular or respiratory depression. However, etomidate suppresses the adrenocortical axis by the inhibition of the enzyme 11β-hydroxylase. This makes the drug unsuitable for administration by a prolonged infusion. It also makes the drug unsuitable for administration to critically ill patients. Etomidate has relatively large volumes of distributions and is rapidly metabolized by hepatic esterases into an inactive carboxylic acid through hydrolyzation. Because of the decrease in popularity of etomidate, few modern extensive pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic studies exist. Over the last decade, several analogs of etomidate have been developed, with the aim of retaining its stable cardiorespiratory profile, whilst eliminating its suppressive effect on the adrenocortical axis. One of these molecules, ABP-700, was studied in extensive phase I clinical trials. These found that ABP-700 is characterized by small volumes of distribution and rapid clearance. ABP-700 is metabolized similarly to etomidate, by hydrolyzation into an inactive carboxylic acid. Furthermore, ABP-700 showed a rapid onset and offset of clinical effect. One side effect observed with both etomidate and ABP-700 is the occurrence of involuntary muscle movements. The origin of these movements is unclear and warrants further research.

Abstract
The evidence supporting the intraoperative use of processed electroencephalography (pEEG) monitoring to guide anesthetic delivery is growing rapidly. This article reviews the key features of electroencephalography (EEG) waveforms and their clinical implications in select patient populations and anesthetic techniques. The first patient topic reviewed is the vulnerable brain. This term has emerged as a description of patients who may exhibit increased sensitivity to anesthetics and/or may develop adverse neurocognitive effects following anesthesia. pEEG monitoring of patients who are known to have or are suspected of having vulnerable brains, with focused attention on the suppression ratio, alpha band power, and pEEG indices, may prove useful. Second, pEEG monitoring along with vigilant attention to anesthetic delivery may minimize the risk of intraoperative awareness when administering a total intravenous anesthesia in combination with a neuromuscular blockade. Third, we suggest that processed EEG monitoring may play a role in anesthetic and resuscitative management when adverse changes in blood pressure occur. Fourth, pEEG monitoring can be used to better identify anesthesia requirements and guide anesthetic titration in patients with known or suspected substance use.
