Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Sedation is used in intensive care units (ICU) to improve comfort and tolerance during mechanical ventilation, invasive interventions, and nursing care. In recent years, the use of inhalation anaesthetics for this purpose has increased. Our objective was to obtain and summarise the best evidence on inhaled sedation in adult patients in the ICU, and use this to help physicians choose the most appropriate approach in terms of the impact of sedation on clinical outcomes and the risk-benefit of the chosen strategy. METHODOLOGY Given the overall lack of literature and scientific evidence on various aspects of inhaled sedation in the ICU, we decided to use a Delphi method to achieve consensus among a group of 17 expert panellists. The processes was conducted over a 12-month period between 2022 and 2023, and followed the recommendations of the CREDES guidelines. RESULTS The results of the Delphi survey form the basis of these 39 recommendations - 23 with a strong consensus and 15 with a weak consensus. CONCLUSION The use of inhaled sedation in the ICU is a reliable and appropriate option in a wide variety of clinical scenarios. However, there are numerous aspects of the technique that require further study.

Abstract
Volatile anesthetic agents are increasingly widely used for critical care sedation. There are concerns that sevoflurane presents a risk of renal injury when used in this role. RCTs comparing the use of critical care sevoflurane sedation with any control in humans were systematically identified using MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, web of Science, and CINAHL (until May 2022), if they presented comparative data on renal function or serum inorganic fluoride levels. Pooled SMDs (95% CI) were calculated where possible after assessment of quality with GRADE and risk of bias with ROB-2. Eight studies analyzing 793 patients were included. The median duration of use of critical care sevoflurane sedation was 4.8 [IQR 3.5-9.2] hours; however, most trials also included a period of prior intraoperative use. No significant difference was found in serum creatinine at 1 day (SMD 0.05, 95% CI - 0.12 to 0.21), 48 h (SMD = - 0.04; 95% Cl - 0.25 to 0.17), 72 h (SMD = - 0.15; 95% CI - 0.45 to 0.15), and at discharge (SMD = - 0.1; 95% CI - 0.3 to 0.13) between the sevoflurane group and the control groups. Creatinine clearance was measured in two studies at 48 h with no significant difference (SMD = - 0.13; 95% Cl - 0.38 to 0.11). Levels of serum inorganic fluoride were significantly elevated in patients where sevoflurane was used. Sevoflurane was not associated with renal failure when used for critical care sedation of fewer than 72-h duration, despite the elevation of serum fluoride. Longer-term studies are currently inadequate, including in patients with compromised renal function, to further evaluate the role of sevoflurane in this setting.Trial registration PROSPERO (CRD42022333099).

Renal injury from sevoflurane in noncardiac surgery: a retrospective cohort study. Br J Anaesth 2022; 129:182-190. [PMID: 35688659 DOI: 10.1016/j.bja.2022.04.026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2021] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sevoflurane is metabolised into Compound A and fluoride that carry a hypothetical risk of nephrotoxicity. However, a clinically significant association between sevoflurane use and acute kidney injury (AKI) in humans has not been established. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 15 552 patients who underwent noncardiac surgery under general anaesthesia using a volatile agent lasting >3 h between July 2016 and May 2019 at a single centre. Patients were divided into a sevoflurane group or no sevoflurane group (desflurane or isoflurane). The primary outcome was incidence of postoperative AKI, which was defined based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria using creatinine concentration within 48 h postoperatively. Propensity score analysis using inverse probability of treatment weighting and propensity score matching was designed to compare outcomes between groups. RESULTS Amongst 13 701 included patients, 11 070 (80.8%) received sevoflurane during anaesthesia. The incidence of AKI was 2.3% (257/11 070) and 2.5% (66/2631) in the sevoflurane and no sevoflurane groups, respectvely (P=0.57). After inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment, sevoflurane anaesthesia was not significantly associated with postoperative AKI (odds ratio [OR] 1.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.99-1.76; P=0.059). In the matched cohort, the incidence of AKI was 3.1% (81/2626) and 2.4% (62/2626) in the sevoflurane and no sevoflurane groups, respectively, and sevoflurane anaesthesia was not associated with postoperative AKI (OR 1.32; 95% CI: 0.94-1.86; P=0.11). CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane anaesthesia for >3 h was not associated with postoperative renal injury compared with anaesthesia using other volatile agents.

Abstract
Background: Volatile anesthetics were used as sedative agents in COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) invasively ventilated patients for their potentially beneficial pharmacological effects and due to the temporary shortages of intravenous agents during the pandemic crisis. Methods: Online databases (PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trial) and the “clinicaltrials.gov” website were searched for studies reporting the use of isoflurane, sevoflurane or desflurane. Results: We identified three manuscripts describing the beneficial effects of isoflurane on 41 COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Germany (n = 2) and in the USA (n = 1), in terms of reduction in the use of opioids and other sedatives. We also found a case report of two patients with transient nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, which started after 6 and 8 days of sevoflurane sedation. We identified two randomized controlled trials (RCTs; 92 patients overall), two observational studies (238 patients) on the use of volatile anesthetics in COVID-19 patients that were completed but not yet published, and one RCT interrupted for a low recruitment ratio (19 patients) and thus not published. We also identified five ongoing RCTs on the use of inhaled sedation in ARDS, which are also likely to be recruiting COVID-19 patients and which have currently enrolled a total of >1643 patients. Conclusion: Isoflurane was the most frequently used volatile agent in COVID-19 patients and allowed a reduction in the use of other sedative and analgesic drugs. Randomized evidence is building up and will be useful to confirm or challenge these findings.

Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus following an Off-Label Administration of Sevoflurane for Prolonged Sedation in a COVID-19 Patient and Possible Influence on Aquaporin-2 Renal Expression.

Abstract
During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the rapidly progressive shortage of intravenous sedative drugs led numerous intensive care units to look for potential alternatives in patients requiring mechanical ventilation for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Inhalational sedation using the AnaConDa® device for sevoflurane administration is a possible option. In a 54-year-old COVID-19 patient with severe ARDS requiring extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO), sevoflurane on AnaConDa® device was administered for 8 days but was complicated by the development of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). Other causes of NDI or central diabetes insipidus were reasonably excluded, as in other previously published cases of NDI in ICU patients receiving prolonged sevoflurane-based sedation. In addition, the postmortem examination suggested a lower expression of aquaporin-2 in renal tubules. This observation should prompt further investigations to elucidate the role of aquaporin-2 in sevoflurane-related NDI. Inhaled isoflurane sedation is a possible alternative.

Abstract
Anaesthesiologists and non-anaesthesiologist sedationists have a limited set of available i.v. hypnotics, further reduced by the withdrawal of thiopental in the USA and its near disappearance in Europe. Meanwhile, demand for sedation increases and new clinical groups are using what traditionally are anaesthesiologists' drugs. Improved understanding of the determinants of perioperative morbidity and mortality has spotlighted hypotension as a potent cause of patient harm, and practice must be adjusted to respect this. High-dose propofol sedation may be harmful, and a critical reappraisal of drug choices and doses is needed. The development of remimazolam, initially for procedural sedation, allows reconsideration of benzodiazepines as the hypnotic component of a general anaesthetic even if their characterisation as i.v. anaesthetics is questionable. Early data suggest that a combination of remimazolam and remifentanil can induce and maintain anaesthesia. Further work is needed to define use cases for this technique and to determine the impact on patient outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon perioperative complication that can occur secondary to medications or surgical manipulation and can cause significant hypovolemia and electrolyte abnormalities. We reviewed and evaluated the current literature and identified 24 cases of DI related to medications commonly used in anesthesia such as propofol, dexmedetomidine, sevoflurane, ketamine, and opioids. This review summarizes the case reports and frequency of DI with each medication and presents possible pathophysiology. Medication-induced DI should be included in the differential diagnosis when intraoperative polyuria is identified. Early identification, removal of the agent, and treatment of intraoperative DI are critical to minimize complications.
