Abstract
Purpose To study the difference between rigid registration and nonrigid registration using two forms of digitization (contact and noncontact) in human in vivo liver surgery. Approach A Conoprobe device attachment and sterilization process was developed to enable prospective noncontact intraoperative acquisition of organ surface data in the operating room (OR). The noncontact Conoprobe digitization method was compared against stylus-based acquisition in the context of image-to-physical registration for image-guided surgical navigation. Data from n = 10 patients undergoing liver resection were analyzed under an Institutional Review Board-approved study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Organ surface coverage of each surface acquisition method was compared. Registration accuracies resulting from the acquisition techniques were compared for (1) rigid registration method (RRM), (2) model-based nonrigid registration method (NRM) using surface data only, and (3) NRM with one subsurface feature (vena cava) from tracked intraoperative ultrasound (NRM-VC). Novel vessel centerline and tumor targets were segmented and compared to their registered preoperative counterparts for accuracy validation. Results Surface data coverage collected by stylus and Conoprobe were 24.6 % ± 6.4 % and 19.6 % ± 5.0 % , respectively. The average difference between stylus data and Conoprobe data using NRM was - 1.05 mm and using NRM-VC was - 1.42 mm , indicating the registrations to Conoprobe data performed worse than to stylus data with both NRM approaches. However, using the stylus and Conoprobe acquisition methods led to significant improvement of NRM-VC over RRM by average differences of 4.48 and 3.66 mm, respectively. Conclusion The first use of a sterile-field amenable Conoprobe surface acquisition strategy in the OR is reported for open liver surgery. Under clinical conditions, the nonrigid registration significantly outperformed standard-of-care rigid registration, and acquisition by contact-based stylus and noncontact-based Conoprobe produced similar registration results. The accuracy benefits of noncontact surface acquisition with a Conoprobe are likely obscured by inferior data coverage and intrinsic noise within acquisition systems.

Abstract
Emerging computational tools such as healthcare digital twin modeling are enabling the creation of patient-specific surgical planning, including microwave ablation to treat primary and secondary liver cancers. Healthcare digital twins (DTs) are anatomically one-to-one biophysical models constructed from structural, functional, and biomarker-based imaging data to simulate patient-specific therapies and guide clinical decision-making. In microwave ablation (MWA), tissue-specific factors including tissue perfusion, hepatic steatosis, and fibrosis affect therapeutic extent, but current thermal dosing guidelines do not account for these parameters. This study establishes an MR imaging framework to construct three-dimensional biophysical digital twins to predict ablation delivery in livers with 5 levels of fat content in the presence of a tumor. Four microwave antenna placement strategies were considered, and simulated microwave ablations were then performed using 915 MHz and 2450 MHz antennae in Tumor Naïve DTs (control), and Tumor Informed DTs at five grades of steatosis. Across the range of fatty liver steatosis grades, fat content was found to significantly increase ablation volumes by approximately 29-l42% in the Tumor Naïve and 55-60% in the Tumor Informed DTs in 915 MHz and 2450 MHz antenna simulations. The presence of tumor did not significantly affect ablation volumes within the same steatosis grade in 915 MHz simulations, but did significantly increase ablation volumes within mild-, moderate-, and high-fat steatosis grades in 2450 MHz simulations. An analysis of signed distance to agreement for placement strategies suggests that accounting for patient-specific tumor tissue properties significantly impacts ablation forecasting for the preoperative evaluation of ablation zone coverage.

Abstract
Computational tools are beginning to enable patient-specific surgical planning to localize and prescribe thermal dosing for liver cancer ablation therapy. Tissue-specific factors (e.g., tissue perfusion, material properties, disease state, etc.) have been found to affect ablative therapies, but current thermal dosing guidance practices do not account for these differences. Computational modeling of ablation procedures can integrate these sources of patient specificity to guide therapy planning and delivery. This paper establishes an imaging-data-driven framework for patient-specific biophysical modeling to predict ablation extents in livers with varying fat content in the context of microwave ablation (MWA) therapy. Patient anatomic scans were segmented to develop customized three-dimensional computational biophysical models and mDIXON fat-quantification images were acquired and analyzed to establish fat content and determine biophysical properties. Simulated patient-specific microwave ablations of tumor and healthy tissue were performed at four levels of fatty liver disease. Ablation models with greater fat content demonstrated significantly larger treatment volumes compared to livers with less severe disease states. More specifically, the results indicated an eightfold larger difference in necrotic volumes with fatty livers vs. the effects from the presence of more conductive tumor tissue. Additionally, the evolution of necrotic volume formation as a function of the thermal dose was influenced by the presence of a tumor. Fat quantification imaging showed multi-valued spatially heterogeneous distributions of fat deposition, even within their respective disease classifications (e.g., low, mild, moderate, high-fat). Altogether, the results suggest that clinical fatty liver disease levels can affect MWA, and that fat-quantitative imaging data may improve patient specificity for this treatment modality.

Abstract
The Zeus anaesthesia machine includes an auto-control mode which allows targeting of end-tidal volatile and inspired oxygen concentrations. We assessed the clinical benefits and economic impact of this target-controlled anaesthesia compared with conventional manually controlled anaesthesia. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to receive desflurane either with a fresh gas flow set by the anaesthetist or in auto-control mode. Drug delivery was adjusted to maintain bispectral index between 40-60 units and systolic arterial pressure under 15 mmHg above its pre-induction value (upper limit) and over 90 mmHg (lower limit). Blood pressure was maintained in the desired range for 89% and 91% of the maintenance period for auto-control and manual control respectively (p = 0.49). Bispectral index was in the desired range for 82% and 79% of the maintenance period, for auto-control and manual control respectively (p = 0.46). Oxygen consumption was more than halved by the use of auto-control mode, and mean (SD) desflurane consumption during surgery was 0.07 (0.04) vs 0.2 (0.07) ml.min(-1) in auto-control and manual control respectively (p < 0.0001). The number of drug delivery adjustments per hour was significantly lower in auto-control mode (mean (SD) 7 (2) vs 15 (12); p < 0.0001). Thus, the auto-control mode provided similar haemodynamic stability and bispectral control as did conventional manually controlled anaesthesia, but led to a reduction in gas and vapour consumption with a more clinically acceptable workload.

Abstract
This multicentre, non-comparative study investigated the range of target blood propofol concentrations required to sedate 122 adult intensive care patients when propofol was administered using Diprifusor target-controlled infusion systems together with opioid analgesia. Depth of sedation was assessed with a modified Ramsay score and the target blood propofol setting was adjusted to achieve the sedation desired for each patient. A desired level of sedation was achieved for 84% of the sedation period. In postcardiac surgery patients the median time-weighted average propofol target setting was 1.34 microg.ml(-1) (10th - 90th percentiles: 0.79-1.93 microg.ml(-1)). Values in brain injured and general ICU patients were 0.98 (10th - 90th percentiles: 0.60-2.55) microg.ml(-1) and 0.42 (10th - 90th percentiles: 0.16-1.19) microg.ml(-1), respectively. Measured propofol concentrations were generally close to values predicted by the Diprifusor system. Target settings in the range of 0.2-2.0 microg.ml(-1) are proposed for propofol sedation in this setting with titration as required in individual patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative combinations of volatile and opioid agents are used to achieve unconsciousness, hypnotic sparing, haemodynamic stability and uneventful recovery. This study describes the influence of different remifentanil concentrations on these variables when combined with desflurane during abdominal surgery. METHODS Sixty-one healthy adult patients were randomly allocated to one of five predefined remifentanil target concentrations (3, 5, 7, 10 or 15 ng ml(-1)). Anaesthesia was titrated to maintain mean blood pressure (MBP), heart rate (HR) and BIS trade mark within predetermined values by adjusting desflurane delivery. Postoperative analgesia using propacetamol and morphine was initiated 30-45 min before skin closure, and continued using morphine PCA. RESULTS Desflurane requirements adjusted to both BIS and haemodynamics were not significantly modified by the remifentanil concentration (median Fet(DES) 2.7% before incision, 2.5% intraoperatively, and 2.2% during closure), resulting in a calculated drug consumption of 0.22-0.25 ml min(-1) (with 1.5 l min(-1) fresh gas flow). High remifentanil concentration decreased MBP and HR, and reduced the duration of tachycardia, but increased the duration of hypotension. The optimal balance was obtained with a remifentanil concentration of 5-7 ng ml(-1) for intubation, 3 ng ml(-1) until incision, 10 ng ml(-1) during intra-abdominal surgery and 5-7 ng ml(-1) during closure. Post-operative morphine requirements were not significantly modified by intraoperative remifentanil concentrations (median 30 mg/24 h, range [2-88]). CONCLUSION Remifentanil target concentrations from 3 to 15 ng ml(-1) had little influence on desflurane requirements or postoperative morphine consumption, but markedly modified intraoperative haemodynamic stability, suggesting that the target concentration should closely follow the successive noxious stimulations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate overall awareness of TCI and the need for training in the TCI technique. To assess, among trained anaesthetists, the value of the session and the impact of TCI technique on their working practice. STUDY DESIGN Two prospective domestic surveys during the first quarter of 1999. METHODS Three hundred anaesthetists representative of French anaesthetists as a whole, and 336 anaesthetists who had taken part in a training course. RESULTS The notoriety of TCI was high and greater in the public sector compared with the private sector. Almost 3/4 of anaesthetists believed that training was necessary but only four anaesthetists out of ten TCI users said they had taken part in training sessions. After the training session nine anaesthetists out of ten became TCI users and would have recommended the training course despite the low number and variety of anaesthetic procedures observed during the practical part of training. The main difficulties reported during initial use were the choice of target concentrations and the management of drug interactions. Familiarisation to the technique was rapid (less than 20 procedures). Despite the lack of long experience (< 6 months for more than 2/3 of them), TCI appeared to be more likely used for anaesthesia of average duration. CONCLUSIONS TCI was perceived to be an innovative concept with a requirement of a specific training. This preliminary appraisal of training sessions was generally satisfactory but underline a need for future training sessions focused on practical aspects.

Abstract
Accessory or ancillary anaesthesia breathing systems can be defined as all those connected to the fresh gas outlet of the anaesthetic apparatus and used instead of the circle system associated with the ventilator, which is the main circuit. They include: the Mapleson systems, the systems with a nonrebreathing valve and the disposable systems with a carbon dioxide absorber. They can be a cause of major accidents when not checked before and monitored during use. This technical note describes techniques of preanaesthetic checking and monitoring during anaesthesia.

Abstract
In addition to the circle breathing system, which represents the main circuit of the anaesthetic machine, the use of an accessory breathing system (ABS), either a partial rebreathing system according to Mapleson's classification, or a system including a non-rebreathing valve, is appropriate for the anaesthetic management of many patients, depending on their physical status, age, indication and duration of surgery. The same safety rules, namely full checking procedure before use of the system and monitoring of inhaled gases and end-tidal CO2 must be applied as for the main circle system. Potential complications resulting from non compliance with these rules cannot be considered valuable reasons for denying the use of breathing systems that have safely been used for decades in millions of patients.

Abstract
Target-controlled infusion (TCI) is a new delivery system for i.v. anaesthetic agents with which the anaesthetist targets a plasma drug concentration to achieve a predetermined effect. With this system, the tedious task of calculating the amount of administered drug required to achieve the target concentration is left in charge of a microprocessor which commands the infusion device. TCI has long been used only by a few research teams, but this year a much wider field opens to this delivery system through marketing of Diprifusor, a TCI system specifically designed for administration of propofol in everyday practice. This article describes the rationale for administering i.v. agents through TCI delivery systems, the pharmacokinetic basis of TCI, the regulations and a broad overview of clinical applications, both recent and yet to come.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recovery from prolonged anesthesia might be compromised in elderly patients. Desflurane (DES) may be particularly well suited to achieve a rapid postoperative recovery because of its low lipid solubility. Postoperative recovery was compared in 45 elderly patients randomized to receive either DES, isoflurane (ISO), or propofol (PRO) to maintain anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with PRO, vecuronium, and fentanyl and maintained with N2O, fentanyl, and the study drug. Times from end of anesthesia to tracheal extubation, eye opening and hand squeezing on command, and ability to state name and date of birth were recorded. Sedation and psychometric evaluation were tested 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 24 h postoperatively. Results are given as means +/- SD. Differences among were analyzed by chi2 or analysis of variance. P < 0.05 compared with DES was considered significant. After a prolonged anesthesia (199 +/- 57 min with DES), immediate recovery times were significantly shorter with DES than with ISO or PRO (times to eye opening: 5.6 +/- 3.4 min, 11.5 +/- 8.4 min, and 11.9 +/- 7.6 min; times to extubation: 6.9 +/- 3 min, 13.1 +/- 8.9 min, 9.9 +/- 6.5 min for DES, ISO, and PRO, respectively). Intermediate recovery, as measured by psychometric testing, sedation levels, and time to discharge from the postanesthesia care unit, was similar in the three groups. In this study, DES provided a transient advantage compared with ISO or PRO with respect to early recovery after prolonged general anesthesia in elderly patients. IMPLICATIONS Recovery from prolonged anesthesia can sometimes be problematic in elderly patients. We evaluated 45 elderly patients who received either desflurane, isoflurane, or propofol for anesthesia. We found that desflurane provided a transient advantage in terms of postoperative recovery, but whether this difference is clinically important remains to be demonstrated.

Abstract
Remifentanil is a new potent mu-agonist with a unique pharmacokinetic profile due to a rapid metabolism by non-specific tissue esterases. As a consequence, remifentanil pharmacokinetics are not modified by severe renal or hepatic dysfunction. During general anaesthesia, any dosage of remifentanil may be used without undue lengthening of emergence times. In cardiac surgery, remifentanil combines the requirement for intra-operative control of stress responses and rapid recovery. The rapid termination of remifentanil action warrants modifications of the current practice concerning early postoperative pain control. Remifentanil may be used as a sedative during monitored analgesia, or as a postoperative analgesic in spontaneously breathing patients, provided bolus doses are avoided. Remifentanil may increase patients' safety by eliminating the risk of delayed respiratory depression, but its correct use requires major changes in our prescribing habits.

Abstract
It has been suggested that nasal administration of ketamine may be used to induce anaesthesia in paediatric patients. We have examined the pharmacokinetics of ketamine and norketamine after nasal administration compared with rectal and i.v. administration in young children. During halothane anaesthesia, 32 children, aged 2-9 yr, weight 10-30 kg, were allocated randomly to receive ketamine 3 mg kg-1 nasally (group IN3) or ketamine 9 mg kg-1 nasally (group IN9); ketamine 9 mg kg-1 rectally (group IR9); or ketamine 3 mg kg-1 i.v. (group IV3). Venous blood samples were obtained before and up to 360 min after administration of ketamine. Plasma concentrations of ketamine and norketamine were measured by gas liquid chromatography. Statistical comparisons were performed using ANOVA and the Kruskall-Wallis test, with P < 0.05 as significant. Mean plasma concentrations of ketamine peaked at 496 ng ml-1 in group IN3 within 20 min, 2104 ng ml-1 in group IN9 within 21 min, and 632 ng ml-1 in group IR9 within 42 min. Plasma concentrations of norketamine peaked at approximately 120 min after nasal ketamine, but appeared more rapidly after rectal administration of ketamine and were always higher than ketamine concentrations in the same situation. Calculated bioavailability was 0.50 in groups IN3 and IN9 and 0.25 in group IR9. We conclude that nasal administration of low doses of ketamine produced plasma concentrations associated with analgesia, but using high doses via the nasal route produced high plasma concentrations of ketamine similar to those that induce anaesthesia. However, the large volume of ketamine required was partly swallowed and led to an unacceptable variability of effect that precludes this route for induction of anaesthesia.

Abstract
No evidence of hepatoxicity has been demonstrated with propofol. Propofol can be used for anaesthesia in patients suffering from moderate cirrhosis of the liver. Liver blood flow is preserved. Propofol dosage must be titrated to each patient's needs. Data concerning the use of propofol in patients suffering from severe hepatic failure or cholestasis are lacking. Propofol dosage in chronic alcoholic patients without cirrhosis must be increased.

Abstract
The doses of propofol that produce loss of consciousness were investigated in 26 patients with chronic alcoholism and in 20 patients with a history of small alcoholic intake undergoing ear, nose, and throat surgery under general anesthesia. Last ethanol consumption by the alcoholics was 24 h preoperatively, as they had no access to alcohol when admitted to the hospital. Propofol was infused at a rate of 1200 mL/h (200 mg/min). The doses required to produce (a) loss of verbal contact and (b) loss of ability to grasp a 20-mL syringe filled with water were recorded. At this time a 2-mL venous blood sample was collected to detect propofol blood concentrations. A painful stimulus was applied to the abdomen, and a positive or negative response was noted. The mean +/- SD dose of propofol required for loss of verbal contact was 2.7 +/- 0.42 mg/kg in the alcoholic group and 2.2 +/- 0.43 mg/kg in the control group (P < 0.001). The dose of propofol required for dropping the syringe was significantly higher in the alcoholic group, 4.2 +/- 1.02 mg/kg versus 3.2 +/- 0.75 mg/kg in the control group (P < 0.01). The two groups did not differ significantly regarding the propofol blood concentrations at loss of consciousness, or the frequency of response or no response to painful stimulus. These findings suggest that the doses of propofol required to induce anesthesia in chronic alcoholic patients are more than in patients who drink socially.

Abstract
Midazolam is used frequently for premedication in children, preferably by non-parenteral administration. We have compared plasma concentrations of midazolam after nasal, rectal and i.v. administration in 45 children (aged 2-9 yr; weight 10-30 kg) undergoing minor urological surgery. General anaesthesia consisted of spontaneous respiration of halothane and nitrous oxide in oxygen via a face mask. After administration of atropine and fentanyl i.v., children were allocated randomly to receive midazolam 0.2 mg kg-1 by the nasal, rectal or i.v. route. In the nasal group, children received 50% of the dose of midazolam in each nostril. In the rectal group, midazolam was given rectally via a cannula. Venous blood samples were obtained before and up to 360 min after administration of the drug. Plasma concentrations of midazolam were measured by gas chromatography and electron capture detection. After nasal and rectal administration, midazolam Cmax was 182 (SD 57) ng ml-1 within 12.6 (5.9) min, and 48 (16) ng ml-1 within 12.1 (6.4) min, respectively. Rectal administration resulted in smaller plasma concentrations. In the nasal group, a plasma concentration of midazolam 100 ng ml-1 occurred at about 6 min. After 45 min, the concentration curves after i.v. and nasal midazolam were similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of propofol indicate that this may be an appropriate agent for induction and maintenance of anesthesia in obese patients. This study was designed to assess the rates of recovery and the pharmacokinetics of propofol infusions in morbidly obese patients. METHODS Anesthesia was induced and maintained using a stepwise infusion regimen of propofol in eight morbidly obese patients. The patients' lungs were ventilated with nitrous oxide:oxygen (66:34%). Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from iterative blood sampling during the propofol infusion and during 8 h after its completion. RESULTS Results were compared with those from a concurrent study of propofol pharmacokinetics in nonobese adults. The initial volume of distribution of propofol was not modified in obese patients. Total body clearance increase was correlated to body weight (R = 0.76, 25.4 +/- 6.5 ml.kg-1.min-1, mean +/- SD). Volume of distribution at steady state was also correlated to body weight (R = 0.61, 1.63 +/- 0.54 l.kg-1, mean +/- SD). Propofol concentration at the time of eye opening in response to verbal command was 0.94 +/- 0.26 mg.l-1. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study confirm the absence of propofol accumulation in morbidly obese patients when the current dosing scheme is used. Dosing schemes expressed in mg.kg-1 are the same as those in normal patients.

Abstract
We have compared the pharmacokinetics of propofol as an infusion in 10 control and 10 patients with cirrhosis. Anaesthesia was induced within 3-4 min during administration of an infusion of propofol 21 mg kg-1 h-1. After 5 min, the infusion was decreased in a stepwise manner to 12 mg kg-1 h-1 and subsequently 6 mg kg-1 h-1. The mean recovery time after discontinuation of the infusion was significantly longer in the cirrhotic group; however, when patients opened their eyes, blood concentrations of propofol were similar in both groups (1 micrograms ml-1). Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed from the beginning of infusion to 8 h after termination. Total body clearance was not reduced significantly in cirrhotic (1.56 (SD 0.48) litre min-1) compared with control (1.75 (0.32) litre min-1) patients. The volume of distribution at steady state was significantly greater in patients with cirrhosis than in control patients (202 (82) litre vs 121 (49) litre). However, this difference did not change terminal elimination half-life. The pharmacokinetics of propofol given by infusion to maintain general anaesthesia were not affected markedly by moderate cirrhosis.

Abstract
The increasing population of elderly patients has special anesthesia care needs. In order to meet those, the pharmacological aspects of aging must be defined. A drug entering the body will generate a blood concentration, then be distributed to the tissues, inducing a pharmacological response. The determinants of blood concentration are absorption when the drug is not administered intravenously, distribution and elimination. Absorption is scarcely affected by ageing. On the contrary, the reduction of the lean mass as well as modifications of the plasma protein concentrations of binding deeply modify distribution. The main organ of drug metabolism is liver. Liver size and hepatic blood flow are reduced in elderly patients. Ageing induces heterogeneous modifications of metabolic pathways. Phase I reactions (oxidation, reduction and hydrolysis) are often slowed down, while phase II reactions (acetylation and conjugation) remain unaffected. Glomerular filtration rate is also reduced in elderly patients. Nevertheless plasma creatinine concentration remains close to the values observed in young healthy patients because of the reduction of the lean mass. The pharmacological response can be affected by the physiological modifications observed with ageing: metabolic rate is reduced, which diminishes the amount of drug necessary to achieve anesthesia. Cardiac index is very often reduced, but the major fact is a very large variability of cardiovascular function and an important reduction of functional reserve. Vascular compliance is diminished, and peroperative arterial pressure can be unstable. Respiratory function is also altered: vital capacity is reduced and hypoxemia frequently observed. Airway protective reflexes are impaired, enhancing the risk of inhalation particularly during recovery.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics and protein binding of propofol were studied in ten patients with cirrhosis and in ten control patients undergoing elective surgery. All patients received 2.5 mg.kg-1 propofol as an intravenous bolus injection for the induction of anesthesia. Whole blood propofol concentrations were measured at intervals up to 12 h, using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. Propofol protein binding was estimated by equilibrium dialysis 10 min after injection of propofol. Individual propofol profiles for all patients were best described by a three-compartment open mammillary model. Rapid and slow propofol distribution half-times were observed, followed by an elimination phase with a half-time of 4-5 h. Propofol total body clearance was reduced (1.99 +/- 0.68 l.min-1) in the patients with cirrhosis but did not differ significantly from that in the control patients (2.30 +/- 0.61 l.min-1). The apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) was similar in the two groups. No significant difference in elimination half-life was observed between the two groups. Propofol was extensively bound (mean: 97-98%) to the plasma protein of both cirrhotic and control groups. This study shows that propofol pharmacokinetics and protein binding of propofol following a single intravenous bolus dose were not markedly affected by uncomplicated cirrhosis of the liver.

Abstract
This study was designed to: (1) determine plasma midazolam concentrations producing adequate sedation in ICU patients; (2) establish an intravenous regimen to provide continuous sedation and rapid recovery after discontinuation of infusion. Initially, 13 ICU patients were given midazolam as a bolus injection, 0.20 mg.kg-1 over 30 s in order to define the midazolam plasma concentration corresponding to an adequate level of sedation. The optimal level was reached in a mean time of 61 +/- 26 min and the mean corresponding midazolam plasma concentration was 163 +/- 62 ng.ml-1. Estimations of the main pharmacokinetic parameters (elimination half life: 230 +/- 102 min, total body clearance: 520 +/- 283 ml.min-1, total volume of distribution: 2.23 +/- 1.15 l.kg-1) showed no marked differences with normal patients. From those variables, an infusion regimen (loading dose and maintenance rate) to provide long term (24 to 80 h) sedation was derived in 9 patients. The mean loading dose was 0.33 +/- 0.18 mg.kg-1 over 30 min and the mean continuous infusion dose was 0.06 +/- 0.02 mg.kg-1.h-1. The mean midazolam plasma concentration during infusion was 215 +/- 61 ng.ml-1, and the mean midazolam plasma concentration at the end of infusion was 199 +/- 93 ng.ml-1. The level of sedation was considered as optimal in most patients throughout the study. After discontinuation of infusion, the mean time for normalization of the mental state was 97 min.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of midazolam were compared in cirrhotic patients (n = 10) and control patients (n = 9), during general anaesthesia. Total plasma clearance was 637 +/- 223 ml min-1 (mean +/- SD) in control patients and 402 +/- 170 ml min-1 in cirrhotic patients (P less than 0.05). The total volume of distribution was similar. Elimination half-life was 135 +/- 40 min in controls and 168 +/- 30 min in cirrhosis (P less than 0.05). Protein binding was evaluated by equilibrium dialysis in both groups at two concentrations of midazolam: 20 and 500 micrograms litre-1. No saturation occurred, but the free fraction was 4.9 +/- 1.7% in cirrhotic patients, compared with 1.9 +/- 0.6% in controls (P less than 0.01). Despite its mainly hepatic elimination, midazolam disposition appears to be only slightly impaired in cirrhotic patients.

Abstract
Anaesthesia was provided by an infusion of propofol in six healthy patients and six patients with hepatic cirrhosis. There were no significant differences between the groups with regard to the central compartment volume, distribution volume at steady state, total apparent distribution volume, total body clearance or elimination half-life, although the values were always greater in the cirrhotic patients. Recovery times were significantly longer in the patients with cirrhosis.

Abstract
This open, non comparative study was designed to establish a suitable dose regime for propofol when used as the main anaesthetic agent and given as a continuous infusion. Thirty patients (ASA I and II) were studied; five received muscle relaxants and were excluded from the analysis of maintenance and recovery. Immediately after an i.v. bolus dose of fentanyl (2 micrograms X kg-1), anaesthesia was induced in all patients with a mean dose of 2.03 mg X kg-1 propofol. Apnoea at induction was seen in 14 patients, with a mean duration of 151 s (range: 20 to 360 s). Mean, systolic and diastolic arterial pressures and heart rate decreased slightly but statistically significantly following induction. Fourteen patients, four of whom received propofol into a vein of the hand, noted pain on the injection site without venous sequelae immediately nor 24 h after anaesthesia. The mean duration of anaesthesia from induction to the patient ability to obey a simple command was approximately 40 min (range: 10 to 95 min). The mean infusion rate of propofol during maintenance was 0.86 +/- 0.04 mg X kg-1 X min-1. During maintenance, a satisfactory depth of anaesthesia was achieved in 23 patients without any further bolus injection of propofol. The mean time from stopping the infusion to eye opening on verbal command was 6.2 min, whilst that for orientation was 8.4 min. The anaesthesist assessed the quality of recovery as good or adequate in all the patients, who all were satisfied by the anaesthesia. No major adverse reactions occurred during or after anaesthesia and the incidence of minor side-effects was low.

The pharmacokinetic profile of 0.2 mg kg-1 midazolam given i.v., for induction of anaesthesia, was compared in young subjects and in those who were over 80 years of age. Thirty-five patients were allocated into four groups according to their sex and age. Plasma samples were drawn before midazolam injection and at regular intervals over 24 h following injection. Plasma midazolam concentrations were measured by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography. Equilibrium dialysis was used to assess the plasma protein binding of midazolam. Distribution volume (Vdss) was significantly increased in elderly subjects when compared to young subjects of the same sex (young vs. elderly males, Vdss = 1.22 +/- 0.31 l kg-1 and 2.47 +/- 0.98 l kg-1 respectively; and young vs. elderly females, Vdss = 0.91 +/- 0.29 l kg-1 and 1.70 +/- 0.78 l kg-1 respectively). Total body clearance was significantly reduced in elderly males compared with young males (5.60 +/- 1.77 ml min-1 kg-1 vs. 8.10 +/- 3.58 ml min-1 kg-1). No significant difference in clearance was found between young and elderly females (6.08 +/- 2.04 ml min-1 kg-1 vs. 9.14 +/- 3.36 ml min-1 kg-1). As a consequence, elimination half-life (T1/2E) was significantly prolonged in elderly compared to young males (8.52 +/- 5.4 h vs. 2.77 +/- 0.80 h). In contrast, T1/2E was unchanged in elderly compared to young females (2.99 +/- 0.86 h vs. 2.86 +/- 1.04 h). Midazolam plasma protein binding was not influenced by age and sex.

Abstract
A very rare diagnosis before a terminal hemorrhagic accident, aorto-esophageal fistula (FAO) is almost always fatal. Three cases of this exceptional lesion are reported. The first patient died within a few minutes of admission from a cataclysmic hematemesis. This 52 year old man had a recurring adenocarcinoma of the cardia that had been treated by laser. A "premonitory hematemesis" of bright red blood had occurred eight hours before admission. In the two other cases the problem arose with an "open abdomen" in exsanguinated patients operated upon as emergencies for massive hematemesis. In both cases, an intra-esophageal balloon catheter and controlled hypotension allowed performance of a left thoracotomy and aortic clamping. One patient had a cancer of middle third of esophagus that had perforated into the descending aorta. A resection-graft of the aortic isthmus and a retrosternal gastric esophagoplasty was successfully carried out at the time of exploration. The other patient had an FAO in the aortic isthmus region probably due to a foreign body. Operation involved an esophagectomy with cervical esophagotomy and gastrotomy combined with a resection-graft of aortic isthmus using a Dacron prosthesis. This patient died on the 21st postoperative day from rupture of the brachiocephalic trunk over a tracheotomy tube. In both of these patients a "premonitory hematemesis" with dysphagia had preceded the severe hemorrhagic accident. Successful treatment is rarely obtained with such lesions, since difficulties in ensuring rapid hemostasis in exsanguinated patients operated upon usually without diagnosis and for massive hemorrhage only, are associated with the risks of aortic repair surgery in a hemorrhagic field and with a mediastinum infected from the esophageal wound.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of enflurane on systemic vascular resistance and venous capacitance, and its biotransformation during hypothermia, were studied in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with enflurane anaesthesia. When administered during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), cardiac regulatory mechanisms being therefore excluded, enflurane induced an arteriolar vasodilation related to the concentration inhaled. An inspired concentration of 2.5% in hypothermia (28 degrees C) produced a drop in systemic vascular resistance of 30% from control level. In the same conditions, venous capacitance was not altered. The rise in the blood gas solubility coefficient during hypothermia was only partly balanced by haemodilution. Therefore, inspired enflurane concentration should be higher during hypothermic CPB than during normothermic anaesthesia to obtain the same effects. For the same amount of enflurane inhaled, the fraction of enflurane metabolized was higher in hypothermia than in normothermia, but the inorganic fluoride plasma concentration at its highest never reached the level of 50 mumol X 1(-1) regarded as the nephrotoxic threshold.
