Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate whether analgesia nociception index (ANI) could be an indicator of perioperative pain during laparoscopic trocar insertion. Methods A total of 280 participants of anesthesia receiving laparoscopic surgery were enrolled. Anesthesia induction and maintenance were performed using the Marsh model for target propofol and the Minto model for remifentanil. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), heart rate (HR), and ANI were recorded at skin incision, the first-, second, the last-trocar insertion, and 5 min after the last trocar insertion. Results ANI was significantly different among the five groups in the last four time points (all P < 0.05). Pearson's correlation showed that ANI was negatively correlated with SBP (r = -0.114, P = 0.077) and HR (r = -0.247, P < 0.001). The area under the curve of ANI was positively correlated with those of SBP (r = 0.493, P < 0.001) and HR (r = -0.420, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression showed that the ANI was an independent factor associated with intraoperative hemodynamic adverse events only at 5 min after the last trocar insertion. Conclusions Under general anesthesia, the change in ANI was consistent with changes in the balance between analgesia and nociceptive stimuli. The ANI can reflect the extent of transient pain but had a poor predictive performance for hemodynamic adverse events.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), epiglottic collapse (EC) constitutes a major factor in the failure of continuous positive airway pressure therapy and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. This study explored treatments that can improve EC in patients with OSA through drug-induced sleep endoscopy with target-controlled infusion (TCI-DISE). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary center. METHODS This study screened 352 OSA patients who underwent TCI-DISE between 2016 and 2022. Fifty-four patients with EC were included in the final analysis. EC severity was assessed multiple times through TCI-DISE with different interventions. RESULTS The application of these interventions in patients with anteroposterior epiglottic collapse (apEC) led to a significant decrease in apEC severity from total to partial or no obstruction in 60.0% of patients by head rotation, in 53.6% by mouth closure, in 47.4% who received oral appliances (OA), and in 28.0% who received intermittent negative airway pressure (iNAP). With simultaneous head rotation, apEC severity decreased more significantly from total to partial or no obstruction in 77.8% of patients by mouth closure, in 70.3% who received OA, and in 68.0% who received iNAP. Lateral epiglottic collapse (latEC) severity decreased in 53.8% of patients after OA use and in 61.5% of patients with OA use and head rotation. CONCLUSION This study identified head rotation with mouth closure as the most effective treatment for apEC through TCI-DISE. Patients with latEC had higher weight, apnea-hypopnea index, and body mass index compared with patients with apEC. OA use with head rotation appeared more effective in latEC through TCI-DISE.

Abstract
Background and Aims Empirically adjusted, standard drug doses fail to address interindividual pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics variability. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) delivers drugs in calibrated boluses to achieve and maintain a selected target plateau drug level (plasma or effect site). Interactive total intravenous anesthesia (iTIVA™) smartphone software simulates TCI and employs 31 established pharmacokinetic models for 11 different intravenous agents and is coupled with standard volumetric infusion pumps for administering TCI. Material and Methods This prospective, observational, study investigates the degree of agreement between iTIVA and a conventional TCI pump (CTP) for the volume of propofol infused using the Schnider pharmacokinetic model in adult patients of either sex undergoing oncosurgery lasting 1-3 h under total intravenous anesthesia. Bland-Altman analysis of 124 data pairs from 30 patients provided bias, precision, and limits of agreement between the volumes infused by CTP and iTIVA (V-CTP and V-iTIVA) during specific identical time periods. Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau rank correlation coefficients provided the degree of association between V-CTP and V-iTIVA. Results Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau were 0.996 and 0.964, respectively. Bias or the mean of differences was -0.02, while the limits of agreement were 0.58 and -0.63, respectively (Bland-Altman plot). The maximum allowed difference of 2 ml was much larger than the 95% confidence intervals for the limits of agreement. The Mountain plot was short tailed (-1.28 to 1.55) and centred over zero (0.01). Conclusion The volume of propofol infused using TCI pump was similar to that calculated by iTIVA in identical time periods, confirming the clinical applicability of iTIVA.

Abstract
In the target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil intravenous anesthesia, accurate prediction of the depth of anesthesia (DOA) is very challenging. Patients with different physiological characteristics have inconsistent pharmacodynamic responses during different stages of anesthesia. For example, in TCI, older adults transition smoothly from the induction period to the maintenance period, while younger adults are more prone to anesthetic awareness, resulting in different DOA data distributions among patients. To address these problems, a deep learning framework that incorporates domain adaptation and knowledge distillation and uses propofol and remifentanil doses at historical moments to continuously predict the bispectral index (BIS) is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a modified adaptive recurrent neural network (AdaRNN) is adopted to address data distribution differences among patients. Moreover, a knowledge distillation pipeline is developed to train the prediction network by enabling it to learn intermediate feature representations of the teacher network. The experimental results show that our method exhibits better performance than existing approaches during all anesthetic phases in the TCI of propofol and remifentanil intravenous anesthesia. In particular, our method outperforms some state-of-the-art methods in terms of root mean square error and mean absolute error by 1 and 0.8, respectively, in the internal dataset as well as in the publicly available dataset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-induction hypotension frequently occurs and can lead to adverse outcomes. As target-controlled infusion (TCI) obviates the need to calculate the infusion rate manually and helps safer dosing with prompt titration of the drug using complex pharmacokinetic models, the use of TCI may provide a better hemodynamic profile during anesthesia induction. This study aimed to compare TCI versus manual induction and to determine the hemodynamic risk factors for post-induction hypotension. METHODS A total of 200 ASA grade 1-3 patients, aged 24 to 82 years, were recruited and randomly assigned to the TCI (n = 100) or manual induction groups (n = 100). Hemodynamic parameters were monitored with the pressure-recording analytic method. The propofol dosage was adjusted to keep the Bispectral Index between 40 and 60. RESULTS Post-induction hypotension was significantly higher in the manual induction group than in the TCI group (34% vs. 13%; p < 0.001, respectively). The propofol induction dose did not differ between the groups (TCI: 155 (135-180) mg; manual: 150 (120-200) mg; p = 0.719), but the induction time was significantly longer in the TCI group (47 (35-60) s vs. 150 (105-220) s; p < 0.001, respectively). In the multivariable Cox regression model, the presence of hypertension, stroke volume index (SVI), cardiac power output (CPO), and anesthesia induction method were found to predict post-induction hypotension (p = 0.032, p = 0.013, p = 0.024, and p = 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSION TCI induction with propofol provided better hemodynamic stability than manual induction, and the presence of hypertension, a decrease in the pre-induction SVI, and the CPO could predict post-induction hypotension.

Abstract
Background and Aims Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) frequently require emergency surgery. There is a paucity of literature with regard to anesthetic requirements in these patients. The aim of the study was to compare the dose of propofol required for induction of anesthesia in patients with different grades of TBI. Material and Methods This prospective, observational study included patients with mild, moderate, and severe grades of TBI undergoing emergency surgery within 48 h of injury. Bispectral Index (BIS) values were recorded using a bilateral BIS sensor. Anesthesia was induced with a target controlled infusion (TCI) pump. Once BIS reached 40, plasma (Cp) and effect-site (Ce) concentration and total dose of propofol required were noted from the TCI pump. Results Of the 96 patients recruited, 27, 36, and 33 patients belonged to mild, moderate, and severe TBI (sTBI) groups, respectively. The Ce of propofol in mild, moderate, and sTBI groups was 6 ± 0.9, 5.82 ± 0.98, and 4.48 ± 1.5 μg/mL (P < 0.001), and the dose of propofol required was 1.9 ± 0.2, 1.8 ± 0.4, 1.41 ± 0.5 mg/kg, respectively (P < 0.001). Baseline BIS on the injured side was 80 ± 7.8, 71 ± 9.4, 55 ± 11.6, and on the uninjured side was 89 ± 5.5, 81 ± 8.4, and 65 ± 12 in mild, moderate, and sTBI groups, respectively. Conclusions The requirement of propofol was reduced in patients with sTBI. The dose of propofol required for induction of anesthesia as determined using Ce was significantly lower only between sTBI and mild TBI and not between patients with sTBI and moderate TBI or between mild and moderate head injury. BIS values were significantly different between the groups (highest in mild TBI and lowest in sTBI) and between normal and injured sides within each group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and postoperative outcomes, according to the remifentanil infusion method, during surgery in patients with a high-risk of PONV. METHODS Ninety patients undergoing elective gynecological pelviscopic surgery were randomly allocated to either target-controlled infusion (TCI, T) or manual (M) infusion. The primary outcome was the incidence of PONV until postoperative day (POD) 2. The secondary outcomes were perioperative heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), numerical rating scale pain scores up to POD2, and postoperative hospital length of stay. RESULTS Forty-four patients in the T group and 45 patients in the M group were analyzed. The total dose of remifentanil infusion was significantly higher in the T group (T group: 0.093 (0.078-0.112) μg/kg/min; M group: 0.062 (0.052-0.076) µg/kg/min, p < 0.001). Within POD2, the overall PONV was not significantly different (27 (61.4%) vs. 27 (60.0%), p = 0.895). The HR (82 ± 11.5/min vs. 87 ± 11.1/min, p = 0.046) and mean BP (83 ± 17.2 mmHg vs. 90 ± 16.7 mmHg, p = 0.035) were significantly lower in the T group after tracheal intubation. The other postoperative outcomes were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Although the total remifentanil infusion dose was higher in the T group than in the M group, the postoperative outcomes were similar. If stable vital signs are desired during tracheal intubation, remifentanil infusion with TCI should be considered.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare a propofol continuous rate infusion (CRI) with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Randomized prospective double-blinded clinical study. ANIMALS A total of 38 healthy client-owned dogs. METHODS Dogs premedicated intramuscularly with acepromazine (0.03 mg kg-1) and an opioid (pethidine 3 mg kg-1, morphine 0.2 mg kg-1 or methadone 0.2 mg kg-1) were allocated to P-CRI group (propofol 4 mg kg-1 intravenously followed by CRI at 0.2 mg kg-1 minute-1), or P-TCI group [propofol predicted plasma concentration (Cp) of 3.5 μg mL-1 for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia via TCI]. Plane of anaesthesia, heart rate, respiratory rate, invasive blood pressure, oxygen haemoglobin saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide and body temperature were monitored by an anaesthetist blinded to the group. Numerical data were analysed by unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney U test, one-way analysis of variance and Dunnett's post hoc test. Categorical data were analysed with Fisher's exact test. Significance was set for p < 0.005. RESULTS Overall, propofol induced a significant incidence of relative hypotension (mean arterial pressure 20% below baseline, 45%), apnoea (71%) and haemoglobin desaturation (65%) at induction of anaesthesia, with a higher incidence of hypotension and apnoea in the P-CRI than P-TCI group (68% versus 21%, p = 0.008; 84% versus 58%, p = 0.0151, respectively). Propofol Cp was significantly higher at intubation in the P-CRI than P-TCI group (4.83 versus 3.5 μg mL-1, p < 0.0001), but decreased during infusion, while Cp remained steady in the P-TCI group. Total propofol administered was similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Both techniques provided a smooth induction of anaesthesia but caused a high incidence of side effects. Titration of anaesthesia with TCI caused fewer fluctuations in Cp and lower risk of hypotension compared with CRI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK) of fentanyl administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI), and to develop a PK model optimized by covariates for TCI in anaesthetized dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS A group of 20 client-owned dogs with spinal pain undergoing anaesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS Fentanyl was administered as an infusion to 20 anaesthetized dogs using a TCI system incorporating a previously described fentanyl two-compartment PK. Arterial blood samples were collected at specific time points during the infusion and over 60 minutes post-infusion for measurement of fentanyl plasma concentrations. The predictive performance of the Sano PK model was assessed by comparing predicted and measured plasma concentrations. A population PK analysis was then performed using a nonlinear mixed-effect modelling approach, allowing inter- and intra-individual variability estimation. Finally, a quantitative stepwise evaluation of the influence of various covariates such as weight, body condition score, size, size-related age, sex and type of premedication on the PK model was considered. RESULTS Overall predictive performance of the Sano PK set of variables was not clinically acceptable in anaesthetized dogs. Fentanyl PK was best described by a three-compartment model. Weight and sex were found to affect the volume of distribution of the central compartment. Addition of these two covariate/variable associations resulted in a reduction of the objective function value (OFV) from -340.18 to -448.34, and of the median population weighted residual and the median population absolute weighted residual from 16.1% and 38.6% to 3.9% and 20.3%, respectively. Fentanyl infusions at measured concentrations up to 5.4 ng mL-1 in sevoflurane-anaesthetized dogs resulted in stable anaesthesia and smooth recoveries without complications. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE A population three-compartment PK model for fentanyl TCI in anaesthetized dogs was developed. Weight and sex have been detected and incorporated as significant covariates.

Abstract
Total intravenous anesthesia is an anesthesiologic technique where all substances are injected intravenously. The main task of the anesthesiologist is to assess the depth of anesthesia, or, more specifically, the depth of hypnosis (DoH), and accordingly adjust the dose of intravenous anesthetic agents. However, it is not possible to directly measure the anesthetic agent concentrations or the DoH, so the anesthesiologist must rely on various vital signs and EEG-based measurements, such as the bispectral (BIS) index. The ability to better measure DoH is directly applicable in clinical practice-it improves the anesthesiologist's assessment of the patient state regarding anesthetic agent concentrations and, consequently, the effects, as well as provides the basis for closed-loop control algorithms. This article introduces a novel structure for modeling DoH, which employs a residual dynamic model. The improved model can take into account the patient's individual sensitivity to the anesthetic agent, which is not the case when using the available population-data-based models. The improved model was tested using real clinical data. The results show that the predictions of the BIS-index trajectory were improved considerably. The proposed model thus seems to provide a good basis for a more patient-oriented individualized assessment of DoH, which should lead to better administration methods that will relieve the anesthesiologist's workload and will benefit the patient by providing improved safety, individualized treatment, and, thus, alleviation of possible adverse effects during and after surgery.

Abstract
Backgroundand Objectives: Remifentanil-based sedation is one of many protocols proposed for endoscopy procedures in spontaneous ventilation, alone or in combination with propofol. However, the effect of these small doses of propofol on the efficacy and safety of remifentanil target-controlled infusion (TCI) deserves to be examined in this context. The objective of this study was to assess the adverse respiratory and cardiovascular effects of small boluses of propofol combined with remifentanil, in comparison with remifentanil alone, and balanced with the quality of sedation and recovery. Materials andMethods: This was an observational bicenter study, representing a subgroup of a larger study describing remifentanil-based procedural sedation. In center 1, patients scheduled for gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy had remifentanil TCI alone. In center 2, patients had a 10 mg propofol bolus before TCI and other boluses were allowed during the procedure. Remifentanil TCI was started at a target of 2 ng/mL then adapted by 0.5 ng/mL steps according to patient response to endoscopy stimulations. Results: Center 1 included 29 patients, while center 2 included 60 patients. No difference was found in the patients’ characteristics, incidence of success, average remifentanil consumption, or cardiovascular variables. Light sedation was achieved when propofol was added. The incidence of respiratory events, such as bradypnea, desaturation < 90%, and apnea requiring rescue maneuvers, were significantly higher with propofol. Conclusions: Adding propofol boluses to a remifentanil TCI for GI endoscopy ensures light sedation that may be necessary for anxiolysis but increases respiratory events, even after administration of small-dose boluses. Its safety is acceptable if the procedure is performed in an equipped environment with sedation providers trained to manage respiratory events and drugs titrated to minimal doses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with midazolam for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy has not been described. Here, we investigate 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with intermittent bolus midazolam for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy under procedural analgesia and sedation. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients who received a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy between February 2019 and January 2021 was conducted. Group 1 and Group 2 were respectively administered an initial effect-site concentration of remifentanil of 1.0 ng/mL and 2.0 ng/mL by a target-controlled infusion pump with Minto model. In both groups, maintenance of the effect-site concentration of remifentanil was adjusted upward and downward by 0.5 ng/mL to keep patient comfort with acceptable pain (remaining moveless), and mean arterial pressure and heart rate within baseline levels ± 30%, and using intermittent bolus midazolam to keep the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale between 2 and 4. The primary outcome was to determine which effect-site concentration of remifentanil provide adequate patient comfort with acceptable pain (remaining moveless) during the procedure. RESULTS A total of 40 patients in Group 1 and 40 patients in Group 2 were eligible for analysis. Most parameters were insignificantly different between Group 1 and Group 2, except Group 1 having higher peripheral oxygen saturation while probe insertion compared with Group 2. Group 2 patients had less intraoperative movements affecting the procedure (2 vs 18; P < .001), and less total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustment (0 [0-1] vs 1 [0-3], P < .001) compared with group 1. However, group 1 patients had less apnea with desaturation (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%; 0 vs 9, P = .002) and less remifentanil consumption (94.9 ± 25.5 μg vs 106.2 ± 21.2 μg, P = .034) compared to Group 2. CONCLUSION In transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, target-controlled infusion with remifentanil Minto model target 2.0 ng/mL with 3 to 4 mg midazolam use provided sufficient analgesia and sedation, and appropriate hemodynamic and respiratory conditions.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with increased anesthetic risks such as cardiovascular events resulting in higher perioperative mortality rates. This study investigated the perioperative and postoperative outcomes in ESRD patients receiving propofol target-controlled infusion with brachial plexus block during arteriovenous (AV) access surgery. Materials and Methods: We recruited fifty consecutive patients scheduled to receive AV access surgery. While all patients received general anesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided brachial plexus block, the patients were randomly assigned to one of two general anesthesia maintenance groups, with 23 receiving propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) and 24 receiving sevoflurane inhalation. We measured perioperative mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, and cardiac output and recorded postoperative pain status and adverse events in both groups. Results: ESRD patients receiving propofol TCI had significantly less reduction in blood pressure than those receiving sevoflurane inhalation (p < 0.05) during AV access surgery. Perioperative cardiac output and heart rate were similar in both groups. Both groups reported relatively low postoperative pain score and a low incidence of adverse events. Conclusions: Propofol TCI with brachial plexus block can be used as an effective anesthesia regimen for ESRD patients receiving AV access surgery. It can be used with less blood pressure fluctuation than inhalational anesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Minto pharmacokinetic model is used for target-controlled infusion of remifentanil. The reliability of this model has never been evaluated during normothermic cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to assess the predictive performance of the model during CPB to determine its reliability during cardiac surgery. METHODS This was a single-centre observational study. Arterial blood samples were drawn at five time points: T1, after tracheal intubation; T2, immediately before CPB; T3, 10 min after starting CPB; T4, 45 min after starting CPB; T5, 10 min after weaning off CPB. Prediction error (PE) and absolute prediction error (APE) were calculated for each sample and used to determine median prediction error (MDPE) and median absolute prediction error (MDAPE) per patient. Risk factors for APE >30% were assessed using multivariable analysis. Results are presented as medians with inter-quartile ranges. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients with 283 blood samples (110 during CPB) were included. In the pre-CPB period, MDPE and MDAPE were -17.3 [-32.9 to 2.3] and 24.6 [12-37.7]%, whereas during CPB, they were -1.8 [-15.6 to 11.1] and 14.0 [6.74-27.1]%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between measured and predicted remifentanil plasma concentrations during CPB. Age, preoperative albumin concentrations, temperature, and haemodilution were not independently associated with MDAPE >30%. CONCLUSIONS The Minto model accurately predicts plasma remifentanil concentrations during cardiac surgery with CPB. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION 2017-A03153-50.

Abstract
The use of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic models has improved anaesthesia practice in children through a better understanding of dose-concentration-response relationships, developmental pharmacokinetic changes, quantification of drug interactions and insights into how covariates (e.g., age, size, organ dysfunction, pharmacogenomics) impact drug prescription. Simulation using information from these models has enabled the prediction and learning of beneficial and adverse effects and decision-making around clinical scenarios. Covariate information, including the use of allometric size scaling, age and consideration of fat mass, has reduced population parameter variability. The target concentration approach has rationalised dose calculation. Paediatric pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic insights have led to better drug delivery systems for total intravenous anaesthesia and an expectation about drug offset when delivery is stopped. Understanding concentration-dependent adverse effects have tempered dose regimens. Quantification of drug interactions has improved the understanding of the effects of drug combinations. Repurposed drugs (e.g., antiviral drugs used for COVID-19) within the community can have important effects on drugs used in paediatric anaesthesia, and the use of simulation educates about these drug vagaries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of general anesthesia-assisted target-controlled plasma infusion of lidocaine in patients with vocal cord polypectomy using a supporting laryngoscope. METHODS In total, 80 patients undergoing vocal cord polypectomy using a supporting laryngoscope were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group; each group contained 40 subjects: both groups received general anesthesia; subjects in the intervention also received an additional 3 mg/L of lidocaine by target-controlled plasma infusion during induction and maintenance of anesthesia; heart rate (HR) mean arterial pressure (MAP), propofol and urapidil consumption (Uradil, which is a blood pressure drug that blocks alpha-1, is called Urapidi Hydrochloride Injection. It is produced by Germany, the enterprise name is Nycomed Deutschland GmbH, the import drug registration number is H20090715, and it is widely used in China), recovery time, and cough score (measured by Minogue et al's 5-grade scoring method) during extubation, and throat pain score (measured by visual analogue scale,[VAS]) after extubation and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Significant differences were observed in HR (P < .05) and MAP (P < .05) immediately after intubation (T2), immediately after the operation starting to support laryngoscope exposure (T3), immediately after operation field adrenergic tampon hemostasis (T4), and 5 minutes after hemostasis (T5) between the 2 groups, and significant differences were also observed in HR (P < .05) before intubation (T1). Moreover, significant differences were observed in propofol consumption (P < .05), urapidil consumption (P < .05), cough score during extubation (P < .05), and throat pain score after extubation (P < .05). However, no significant difference was observed in the recovery time (P > .05). Furthermore, no adverse events were detected in either group. CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that target-controlled plasma infusion of lidocaine can reduce propofol consumption in patients undergoing vocal cord polypectomy by supporting laryngoscopy, and the hemodynamics are more stable and reduce the coughing reaction in the wake period and throat pain after extubation without adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-maintained propofol TCI sedation (PMPS) allows patients to titrate their own target-controlled infusion (TCI) delivery of propofol sedation using a handheld button. The aim of this RCT was to compare PMPS with anaesthetist-controlled propofol TCI sedation (ACPS) in patients undergoing elective primary lower-limb arthroplasty surgery under spinal anaesthesia. METHODS In this single-centre open-label investigator-led study, adult patients were randomly assigned to either PMPS or ACPS during their surgery. Both sedation regimes used Schnider effect-site TCI modelling. The primary outcome measure was infusion rate adjusted for weight (expressed as mg kg-1 h-1). Secondary outcomes measures included depth of sedation, occurrence of sedation-related adverse events and time to medical readiness for discharge from the postanaesthsia care unit (PACU). RESULTS Eighty patients (48 female) were randomised. Subjects using PMPS used 39.3% less propofol during the sedation period compared with subjects in group ACPS (1.56 [0.57] vs 2.57 [1.33] mg kg-1 h-1; P<0.001), experienced fewer discrete episodes of deep sedation (0 vs 6; P=0.0256), fewer airway/breathing adverse events (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 2.94 [1.31-6.64]; P=0.009) and were ready for discharge from PACU more quickly (8.94 [5.5] vs 13.51 [7.2] min; P=0.0027). CONCLUSIONS Patient-maintained propofol sedation during lower-limb arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia results in reduced drug exposure and fewer episodes of sedation-related adverse events compared with anaesthetist-controlled propofol TCI sedation. To facilitate further investigation of this procedural sedation technique, PMPS-capable TCI infusion devices should be submitted for regulatory approval for clinical use.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic parameter estimates are used in mathematical equations (pharmacokinetic models) to describe concentration changes with time in a population and are specific to that population. Simulation using these models and their parameter estimates can enrich understanding of drug behavior and serve as a basis for study design. Pharmacokinetic concepts are presented pertaining to future designs of dexmedetomidine target-controlled infusion pumps in children. This manuscript provides the pediatric anesthesiologist with an understanding of the nuances that should be considered when using target-controlled infusion pumps; how the central volume may differ between populations, how clearance changes with age, and the impact of adverse effects on dose. In addition, the ideal loading dose and rate of delivery to achieve target concentration without adverse cardiovascular effects are reviewed, and finally, dose considerations for obese children, based on contact-sensitive half-time, are introduced. An understanding of context-sensitive half-time changes with age enables anesthetic practitioners to better estimate duration of effect after cessation of dexmedetomidine infusion. Use of these known pharmacokinetic parameters and covariate information for the pediatric patient could readily be incorporated into commercial target-controlled infusion pumps to allow effective and safe open-loop administration of dexmedetomidine in children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, target-controlled infusion of remifentanil with midazolam in percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas has not been described. Here, we investigate 2 effect-site concentrations of remifentanil with intermittent bolus midazolam for percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty under monitored anesthesia care. METHODS A prospective, randomized controlled trial including patients who received a percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty between March 2019 and March 2021 was conducted. Group 1 and Group 2 were, respectively, administered an initial effect-site concentration of remifentanil of 1.0 and 2.0 ng/mL by a target-controlled infusion pump with Minto model. In both groups, maintenance of the effect-site concentration of remifentanil was adjusted upward and downward by 0.5 ng/mL with intermittent bolus midazolam to keep the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale between 2 and 4, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at baseline levels ± 30%, and patient comfort (remaining moveless). The primary outcome was to determine the appropriate effect-site concentration of remifentanil for the procedure in terms of patient comfort (remaining moveless), hemodynamic conditions, and adverse events. Secondary endpoints included the total dosage of anesthetics and total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustments. RESULTS A total of 40 patients in Group 1 and 40 patients in Group 2 were eligible for analysis. Most parameters were insignificantly different between 2 groups, except Group 1 having higher peripheral oxygen saturation, while local anesthetic injection compared with Group 2. In addition, Group 1 patients had less apnea with desaturation (peripheral oxygen saturation < 90%; 0 vs 6, P = .034), less remifentanil consumption (189.65 ± 69.7 vs 243.8 ± 76.1 μg, P = .001), but more intraoperative movements affecting the procedure (14 vs 4; P = .016), total times of target-controlled infusion pump adjustment [2 (1-4) vs 1 (1-2), P < .001] compared with Group 2. CONCLUSION In percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas, target-controlled infusion with remifentanil Minto model target 2.0 ng/mL with 3 to 4 mg midazolam use provided appropriate hemodynamic conditions, sufficient sedation and analgesia, and acceptable apnea with desaturation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems incorporating pharmacokinetic (PK) or PK-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) models can be used to facilitate drug administration. Existing models were developed using data from select populations, the use of which is, strictly speaking, limited to these populations. Recently a propofol PK-PD model was developed for a broad population range. The aim of the study was to prospectively validate this model in children, adults, older subjects, and obese adults undergoing general anaesthesia. METHODS The 25 subjects included in each of four groups were stratified by age and weight. Subjects received propofol through TCI with the Eleveld model, titrated to a bispectral index (BIS) of 40-60. Arterial blood samples were collected at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 min after the start of propofol infusion, and every 30 min thereafter, to a maximum of 10 samples. BIS was recorded continuously. Predictive performance was assessed using the Varvel criteria. RESULTS For PK, the Eleveld model showed a bias < ±20% in children, adults, and obese adults, but a greater bias (-27%) in older subjects. Precision was <30% in all groups. For PD, the bias and wobble were <5 BIS units and the precision was close to 10 BIS units in all groups. Anaesthetists were able to achieve intraoperative BIS values of 40-60 using effect-site target concentrations about 85-140% of the age-adjusted Ce50. CONCLUSIONS The Eleveld propofol PK-PD model showed predictive precision <30% for arterial plasma concentrations and BIS predictions with a low (population) bias when used in TCI in clinical anaesthesia practice.

Abstract
A universal pharmacokinetic model was developed from pooled paediatric and adult data (40.6 postmenstrual weeks, 70.8 years, 3.1-152 kg). A three-compartment pharmacokinetic model with first-order elimination was superior to a two-compartment model to describe these pooled dexmedetomidine data. Population parameter estimates (population parameter variability%) were clearance (CL) 0.9 L/min/70 kg (36); intercompartmental clearances (Q2) 1.68 L/min/70 kg (63); Q3 0.62 L/min/70 kg (90); volume of distribution in the central compartment (V1) 25.2 L/70 kg (103.9); rapidly equilibrating peripheral compartment (V2) 34.4 L/70 kg (41.8); slow equilibrating peripheral compartment (V3) 65.4 L/70 kg (62). Obesity was best described by fat-free mass for clearances and normal fat mass for volumes with a factor for fat mass (FfatV) of 0.293. Models describing dexmedetomidine pharmacokinetics in adults can be applied to children by accounting for size (allometry) and age (maturation). This universal dexmedetomidine model is applicable to a broad range of ages and weights: neonates through to obese adults. Lean body weight is a better size descriptor for dexmedetomidine clearance than total body weight. This parameter set could be programmed into target-controlled infusion pumps for use in a broad population.

Abstract
Patient-maintained propofol sedation (PMPS) is the delivery of procedural propofol sedation by target-controlled infusion with the patient exerting an element of control over their target-site propofol concentration. This scoping review aims to establish the extent and nature of current knowledge regarding PMPS from both a clinical and technological perspective, thereby identifying knowledge gaps to guide future research. We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and OpenGrey databases, identifying 17 clinical studies for analysis. PMPS is described in the context of healthy volunteers and in orthopaedic, general surgical, dental, and endoscopic clinical settings. All studies used modifications to existing commercially-available infusion devices to achieve prototype systems capable of PMPS. The current literature precludes rigorous generalisable conclusions regarding the safety or comparative clinical effectiveness of PMPS, however cautious acknowledgement of efficacy in specific clinical settings is appropriate. Based on the existing literature, together with new standardised outcome reporting recommendations for sedation research and frameworks designed to assess novel health technologies research, we have made recommendations for future pharmacological, clinical, behavioural, and health economic research on PMPS. We conclude that high-quality experimental clinical trials with relevant comparator groups assessing the impact of PMPS on standardised patient-orientated outcome measures are urgently required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems use pharmacokinetic (PK) models to predict the drug infusion rates necessary to achieve a desired target plasma or effect-site concentration. As new PK models are developed and implemented in TCI systems, there can be uncertainty as to which target concentrations are appropriate. Existing dose recommendations can serve as a point of reference to identify target concentrations suitable for clinical applications. METHODS Simulations of remifentanil TCI were performed using three PK models (Minto, Eleveld, and Kim). We sought to identify models and target concentrations for remifentanil administration in children, adult, older people, and severely obese individuals, consistent with the remifentanil product label. In a typical adult this is an induction dose of 0.5-1 μg kg-1 and starting maintenance infusion rate of 0.25 μg kg-1 min-1. RESULTS For the Minto, Eleveld, and Kim remifentanil models, a plasma target concentration of ∼ 4 ng ml-1 achieves drug administration consistent with product label recommended initial doses for all groups with minor exceptions. With effect-site targeting in older individuals, a target concentration of ∼2 ng ml-1 is required for induction and ∼4 ng ml-1 for starting maintenance to achieve drug dosages close to product label recommendations. CONCLUSIONS We identified remifentanil TCI target concentrations that resulted in drug administration similar to product label dosing recommendations. This approach did not necessarily identify target concentrations that achieve desired clinical effect, only those that are consistent with the product label recommended doses. We estimate that plasma target concentrations of 3.1-5.3 ng ml-1 are suitable for initial dosing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Target-controlled infusion (TCI) uses averaged pharmacokinetic datasets derived from population samples to automatically control the infusion rate. Bispectral index (BIS) technology non-invasively measures levels of consciousness during surgical procedures. We compared the efficacy and safety of propofol TCI with or without BIS monitoring for sedation during advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy. METHODS This prospective study enrolled 200 patients who were premedicated with midazolam 2 mg and alfentanil 0.4 mg before undergoing advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy. The initial target blood concentration of propofol was set at 1.0 μg/mL, and adjustments of 0.2 μg/mL were made as necessary to maintain moderate-to-deep sedation. Patients were randomized to either the BIS-blind group and evaluated for depth of anesthesia by monitoring scores of 1-2 on the Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation scale (n = 100) or to the BIS-open group and monitored by BIS scores of 60-80 (n = 100). The primary outcome was the total amount of propofol required to maintain anesthesia. Secondary outcomes were sedation-induced adverse events, recovery, and quality of sedation (endoscopist and patient satisfaction). RESULTS The mean propofol infusion rate was significantly higher in patients not monitored by BIS scores than in those who were (5.44 ± 2.12 vs 4.76 ± 1.84 mg/kg/h; P = 0.016). Levels of satisfaction were higher for endoscopists who used BIS monitoring than in those who did not. CONCLUSIONS Mean infusion rates were higher in propofol TCI without BIS monitoring compared with propofol TCI with BIS during advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy. Endoscopists expressed satisfaction with BIS monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous work shows that transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) has analgesic and sedative effects. However, it is unclear whether TES can affect the sedative effect of propofol or not. This study was designed to assess the effect of TES on median effective plasma concentration (Cp50) of propofol and haemodynamic changes before and after tracheal intubation. METHODS 48 patients belonging to ASA I or II posted for thyroidectomy were randomly allocated into control and TES groups. Up-and-down method was used to determine Cp50 of propofol. The average concentration of propofol in each crossover was calculated and the average concentration of those six values was defined as Cp50 of propofol. RESULTS Cp50 of propofol was 3.70 ± 0.28 μg/mL and 3.08 ± 0.31 μg/mL in control and TES groups, respectively (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in MAP (90.3 ± 12.4 mmHg vs. 97.0 ± 10.8 mmHg, 94.2 ± 18.7 mmHg vs. 98.3 ± 16.6 mmHg and 84.9 ± 14.1 mmHg vs. 91.6 ± 16.2 mmHg) and HR (78.2 ± 11.3 b/min vs. 75.6 ± 9.5 b/min, 90.9 ± 15.4 b/min vs. 90.4 ± 14.9 b/min and 86.7 ± 13.7 b/min vs. 84.0 ± 15.9 b/min) at T0, T1 and T2 between two groups. In TES group, HR changes at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than those at T0. CONCLUSION TES can make an assistant effect on sedation and decrease Cp50 of propofol. But the haemodynamic fluctuations in TES group, especially the HR changes, seem to be more obvious than those in control group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Assess different remifentanil effect-site concentrations (Ce) for readiness for extubation time after cardiac surgery. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled study. DESIGN Single university hospital. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-three patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. INTERVENTIONS After ethical approval, patients scheduled for cardiac surgery with target-controlled propofol infusion were randomly assigned to receive remifentanil effect-site concentrations (Ce) of 1, 2, or 3 ng/mL (n = 25, 25, and 23, respectively). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary endpoint was readiness for extubation. Secondary outcomes were also recorded, including the cumulative doses and number of changes of propofol and remifentanil, hemodynamic variables, time to spontaneous eye opening and breathing, actual extubation, incidences of light anesthesia and myocardial ischemia, need for vasopressors and inotropes, and intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital stays. There was no difference in the time to readiness for extubation in any of the groups (0.1 ng/mL: 11.5 min (5-37); 0.2 ng/mL: 22 min (10-35); and 0.3 ng/mL: 21 min (10-49), p < 0.532); however, there was a significant difference among the 3 groups regarding the cumulative remifentanil doses (p < 0.001). Time to spontaneous eye opening and breathing, actual extubation, use of vasopressors and inotropes, incidences of light anesthesia and myocardial ischemia, and length of ICU and hospital stay were similar for all groups. Forty-six of the 73 patients were extubated on-table. CONCLUSION Remifentanil Ce 1, 2, and 3 ng/mL produced comparative effects on time to extubation and hemodynamic responses to cardiac surgery. The 3 Ce resulted in immediate on-table extubation in 50% of patients.

Abstract
Attainment of appropriate pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) targets for antimicrobial treatment is challenging in critically ill patients, particularly for cefepime, which exhibits a relative narrow therapeutic-toxic window compared to other beta-lactam antibiotics. Target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems, which deliver drugs to achieve specific target drug concentrations, have successfully been implemented for improved dosing of sedatives and analgesics in anesthesia. We conducted a clinical trial in an intensive care unit (ICU) to investigate the performance of TCI for adequate target attainment of cefepime. Twenty-one patients treated with cefepime according to the standard of care were included. Cefepime was administered through continuous infusion using TCI for a median duration of 4.5 days. TCI was based on a previously developed population PK model incorporating the estimated creatinine clearance based on the Cockcroft-Gault formula as the input variable to calculate cefepime clearance. A cefepime blood concentration of 16 mg/liter was targeted. To evaluate the measured versus predicted plasma concentrations, blood samples were taken (median of 10 samples per patient), and total cefepime concentrations were measured using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The performance of the TCI system was evaluated using Varvel criteria. Half (50.3%) of the measured cefepime concentrations were within ±30% around the target value of 16 mg liter-1 The wobble was 11.4%, the median performance error (MdPE) was 21.1%, the median absolute performance error (MdAPE) was 32.0%, and the divergence was -3.72% h-1 Based on these results, we conclude that TCI is useful for dose optimization of cefepime in ICU patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a population pharmacokinetic model for propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) in dogs and to evaluate its performance for use in the clinical setting. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS A group of 40 client-owned dogs undergoing general anaesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS Propofol was administered to 26 premedicated dogs and arterial blood samples were collected during the infusion and over 240 minutes after terminating the infusion. Propofol concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. A population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using a nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach, allowing inter- and intra-individual variability estimation and quantitative evaluation of the influence of the following covariates: weight, body condition score, age, size-related age (Age_size), sex, premedication type, size and contrast agent administration. A final model was obtained using a stepwise approach in which individual covariate effects on each pharmacokinetic variable were incorporated. The performance of the developed TCI model was subsequently evaluated while inducing and maintaining anaesthesia in 14 premedicated dogs and assessed by comparing predicted and measured concentrations at specific time points. RESULTS Propofol pharmacokinetics was best described by a three-compartment model. Weight, Age_size, premedication and sex showed significant pharmacokinetic effects. Addition of the significant covariate/variable associations to the final model resulted in a reduction of the objective function value from 285.53 to -22.34. The median values of prediction error and absolute performance error were 3.1% and 28.4%, respectively. Induction targets between 4.0 and 6.5 μg mL-1 allowed intubation within 5.0 ± 0.9 minutes. Anaesthesia was achieved with targets between 3.0 and 6.5 μg mL-1. Mean time to extubation was 9.7 ± 2.6 minutes. All dogs recovered smoothly and without complications. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Overall predictive performance of the pharmacokinetic model-driven infusion developed was clinically acceptable for administering propofol to dogs in routine anaesthesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol and remifentanil are commonly combined during total intravenous anesthesia. The impact of remifentanil in this relationship is poorly quantified in children. Derivation of an integrated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic propofol model, containing remifentanil pharmacodynamic interaction information, enables propofol effect-site target-controlled infusion in children with a better prediction of its hypnotic effect when both drugs are combined. AIMS We designed this study to derive an integrated propofol pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model in children and to describe the pharmacodynamic interaction between propofol and remifentanil on the electroencephalographic bispectral index effect. METHODS Thirty children (mean age: 5.45 years, range 1.3-11.9; mean weight: 23.5 kg, range 8.5-61) scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia were studied. After sevoflurane induction, maintenance of anesthesia was based on propofol and remifentanil. Blood samples to measure propofol concentration were collected during anesthesia maintenance and up to 6 hours in the postoperative period. Bispectral index data were continuously recorded throughout the study. A pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model was developed using population modeling. The Greco model was used to examine the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic interaction between propofol and remifentanil for BIS response RESULTS: Propofol pharmacokinetic data from a previous study in 53 children were pooled with current data and simultaneously analyzed. Propofol pharmacokinetics were adequately described by a three-compartment distribution model with first-order elimination. Theory-based allometric relationships based on TBW improved the model fit. The Greco model supported an additive interaction between propofol and remifentanil. Remifentanil showed only a minor effect in BIS response. CONCLUSION We have developed an integrated propofol pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic model that can describe the pharmacodynamic interaction between propofol and remifentanil for BIS response. An additive interaction was supported by our modeling analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the requirement of propofol in children is increasing, propofol for induction and maintenance of anesthesia below 3 years old has not been approved in Korea. This study can provide a clinical evidence to increase the range of approval. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients below 3 years of age who underwent surgery between September 2013 and December 2016. Safety was evaluated on the basis of vital signs, and laboratory findings and efficacy were evaluated on the basis of the bispectral index (BIS). Adverse events were examined. RESULTS A total of 109 patients anesthetized with propofol (propofol group) were compared with 109 patients with volatile anesthetics (volatile group) after propensity score matching. There was a difference in the proportion of patients showing decreased systolic pressure (P < 0.001) and heart rate (P = 0.03), but there was no difference in diastolic pressure (P = 0.238), mean arterial pressure (P = 0.175) during surgery. After surgery, there was no difference in all vital signs and the proportion patients who experienced adverse events of two groups. CONCLUSIONS Propofol anesthesia by target-controlled infusion was effective and didn't show serious propofol-related perioperative adverse events.

Abstract
Smooth emergence or cough prevention is a clinically important concern in patients undergoing laryngomicroscopic surgery (LMS). The purpose of this study was to estimate the effective concentration of remifentanil in 95% of patients (EC95) for the prevention of emergence cough after LMS under propofol anesthesia using the biased coin design (BCD) up-down method.A total of 40 adult patients scheduled to undergo elective LMS were enrolled. Anesthesia induction and maintenance were performed with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. Effective effect-site concentration (Ce) of remifentanil in 95% of patients for preventing emergence cough was estimated using a BCD method (starting from 1 ng/mL with a step size of 0.4 ng/mL). Hemodynamic and recovery profiles were observed after anesthesia.According to the study protocol, 20 patients were allocated to receive remifentanil Ce of 3.0 ng/mL, and 20 patients were assigned to receive lower concentrations of remifentanil, from 1.0 to 2.6 ng/mL. Based on isotonic regression with a bootstrapping method, EC95 (95% CI) of remifentanil Ce for the prevention of emergence cough from LMS was found to be 2.92 ng/mL (2.72-2.97 ng/mL). Compared with patients receiving lower concentrations of remifentanil, the incidence of hypoventilation before extubation and extubation time were significantly higher in those receiving remifentanil Ce of 3.0 ng/mL. However, hypoventilation incidence after extubation and staying time in the recovery room were comparable between the 2 groups.Using a BCD method, the EC95 of remifentanil Ce for the prevention of emergence cough was estimated to be 2.92 ng/mL (95% CI: 2.72-2.97 ng/mL) after LMS under propofol anesthesia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The highly selective α2-agonist dexmedetomidine has become a popular sedative for neurointensive care patients. However, earlier studies have raised concern that dexmedetomidine might reduce cerebral blood flow without a concomitant decrease in metabolism. Here, we compared the effects of dexmedetomidine on the regional cerebral metabolic rate of glucose (CMRglu) with three commonly used anaesthetic drugs at equi-sedative doses. METHODS One hundred and sixty healthy male subjects were randomised to EC50 for verbal command of dexmedetomidine (1.5 ng ml-1; n=40), propofol (1.7 μg ml-1; n=40), sevoflurane (0.9% end-tidal; n=40) or S-ketamine (0.75 μg ml-1; n=20) or placebo (n=20). Anaesthetics were administered using target-controlled infusion or vapouriser with end-tidal monitoring. 18F-labelled fluorodeoxyglucose was administered 20 min after commencement of anaesthetic administration, and high-resolution positron emission tomography with arterial blood activity samples was used to quantify absolute CMRglu for whole brain and 15 brain regions. RESULTS At the time of [F18]fluorodeoxyglucose injection, 55% of dexmedetomidine, 45% of propofol, 85% of sevoflurane, 45% of S-ketamine, and 0% of placebo subjects were unresponsive. Whole brain CMRglu was 63%, 71%, 71%, and 96% of placebo in the dexmedetomidine, propofol, sevoflurane, and S-ketamine groups, respectively (P<0.001 between the groups). The lowest CMRglu was observed in nearly all brain regions with dexmedetomidine (P<0.05 compared with all other groups). With S-ketamine, CMRglu did not differ from placebo. CONCLUSIONS At equi-sedative doses in humans, potency in reducing CMRglu was dexmedetomidine>propofol>ketamine=placebo. These findings alleviate concerns for dexmedetomidine-induced vasoconstriction and cerebral ischaemia. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02624401.

Abstract
Background The study aimed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine on the induction of anaesthesia using different models (Marsh and Schnider) of propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI). Methods Sixty-four patients aged 18-60 years, American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) class I-II who underwent elective surgery were randomised to a Marsh group (n = 32) or Schnider group (n = 32). All the patients received a 1 μg/kg loading dose of dexmedetomidine, followed by TCI anaesthesia with remifentanil at 2 ng/mL. After the effect-site concentration (Ce) of remifentanil reached 2 ng/mL, propofol TCI induction was started. Anaesthesia induction commenced in the Marsh group at a target plasma concentration (Cpt) of 2 μg/mL, whereas it started in the Schnider group at a target effect-site concentration (Cet) of 2 μg/mL. If induction was delayed after 3 min, the target concentration (Ct) was gradually increased to 0.5 μg/mL every 30 sec until successful induction. The Ct at successful induction, induction time, Ce at successful induction and haemodynamic parameters were recorded. Results The Ct for successful induction in the Schnider group was significantly lower than in the Marsh group (3.48 [0.90] versus 4.02 [0.67] μg/mL; P = 0.01). The induction time was also shorter in the Schnider group as compared with the Marsh group (134.96 [50.91] versus 161.59 [39.64]) sec; P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in haemodynamic parameters and Ce at successful induction. Conclusion In the between-group comparison, dexmedetomidine reduced the Ct requirement for induction and shortened the induction time in the Schnider group. The inclusion of baseline groups without dexmedetomidine in a four-arm comparison of the two models would enhance the validity of the findings.

Abstract
Background: The recommended treatment for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is the use of anesthetic agents, but evidence regarding the agent of choice is lacking. This study was designed to compare target-controlled infusion of propofol versus midazolam for the treatment of RSE regarding seizure control and complications. Methods: This prospective, randomized study recruited 23 adult patients with RSE due to any etiology and treated with either propofol or midazolam titrated to clinical seizure cessation and gradual tapering thereafter. The primary outcome measure was seizure control and the secondary outcomes were duration of the Intensive Care Unit stay and duration of mechanical ventilation, occurrence of super RSE (SRSE), and complications. Results: We recruited 23 patients (male:female = 18:5) into this study (propofol Group-11; midazolam Group-12). Overall, seizure control was noted in 34.8%, with successful seizure control in 45% of patients in the propofol group and 25% in midazolam group (P = 0.4). Mortality was similar in both the groups (propofol group [8/11; 72.7%] compared to the midazolam group [7/12; 58.3%] [P = 0.667]). The duration of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the propofol group compared to midazolam (P = 0.02). The overall incidence of SRSE was 69.5% in this study. The complication rate was not significantly different between the groups. Conclusions: The choice of anesthetic agent does not seem to affect the overall outcome in RSE and SRSE. Target-controlled propofol infusion was found to be equal in its efficacy to midazolam for the treatment of RSE. High mortality might be due to SRSE secondary to the underlying brain pathology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This pilot study aimed to evaluate the performance of target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol using the Schnider pharmacokinetic model in patients undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. DESIGN This was a prospective pharmacokinetic study. SETTING A tertiary care hospital. PARTICIPANTS This study is comprised of 10 patients, aged between 46 and 81, who underwent elective cardiac surgery requiring the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. INTERVENTIONS Anesthetic technique was standardized. Hypnosis was maintained using TCI of propofol, titrated to achieve a bispectral index of 30 to 60. Calculated plasma propofol concentrations were recorded at 5 time points in total, before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass. Blood propofol concentration was measured at each of these time points. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The prediction errors and absolute prediction errors were calculated for each sample. From these, the median prediction error (MDPE) and its absolute value (MDAPE) were derived. Agreement between predicted and measured propofol concentrations was assessed using a Bland-Altman plot. Mean prediction errors were also compared pre-, on, and post-bypass using the generalized linear latent and mixed model. The MDPE and MDAPE were both found to be 45%, indicating significant bias toward under-prediction in the Schnider pharmacokinetic model. This bias was increased at an average propofol concentration of 4.5 μg/mL and above. A significant decrease in mean prediction error was noted while on bypass (45.6%, 95% confidence intervals 9.2-82.1). CONCLUSIONS The performance of the Schnider pharmacokinetic model for TCI propofol was poor, with a tendency toward under-prediction of blood propofol concentration, especially at higher average concentrations of propofol. While mitigating the risk of awareness, the risk of other adverse effects like hypotension and cardiorespiratory depression is increased. Patients should therefore be adequately monitored, and predicted plasma propofol concentrations taken in context with other patient parameters. A lower target concentration of propofol is probably sufficient to maintain an adequate depth of anesthesia as measured by BIS.

Abstract
Objective This study was performed to analyse factors influencing the effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol at return of consciousness (ROC) with target-controlled infusion of propofol–remifentanil after laparoscopic surgery. Methods In total, 112 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anaesthesia were given propofol at the target concentration of 3.5 µg/ml. Remifentanil (Ce: 4.0 ng/ml) and 0.9 mg/kg of rocuronium were administered when the Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation score reached 1. Two minutes after injection of rocuronium, tracheal intubation was initiated. The bispectral index (BIS) was maintained between 45 and 55. Results Ce values of propofol at loss of consciousness (LOC) and ROC were significantly correlated. Age was significantly correlated with Ce of propofol at ROC. At LOC, propofol Ce values of patients aged 65–80, 45–64, and 20–44 years were 1.8 ± 0.8, 2.2 ± 0.7, and 2.3 ± 0.8 µg/ml, respectively, and the BIS was 70 ± 10, 68 ± 7, and 69 ± 10, respectively. At ROC, the propofol Ce values of the three groups were 1.2 ± 0.3, 1.4 ± 0.3, and 1.5 ± 0.3 µg/ml, respectively, and the BIS was 80 ± 5, 82 ± 6, and 83 ± 6, respectively. Conclusions The concentration of propofol at ROC was significantly affected by age, and ROC of propofol–remifentanil anaesthesia after laparoscopic surgery was well predicted by the concentration at LOC.

Abstract
The effect of liver dysfunction on target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol remains poorly documented. The pharmacodynamic performance of propofol TCI was evaluated in a cohort of Chinese patients with hepatic insufficiency. Fifty-three patients with hepatic insufficiency were enrolled in the current prospective, observational study. Anesthesia was induced with propofol via TCI to a plasma concentration of 3 µg/ml. Following loss of consciousness (LOC), fentanyl and cisatracurium were administered. Pharmacodynamic parameters were recorded during TCI, including time to LOC, bispectral index (BIS), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure. Patients were divided into two groups based on model of end stage liver disease (MELD) score: Those with a MELD score of ≤9 and those with a MELD score of ≥10. BIS, mean arterial pressure and HR were demonstrated to vary according to time, but were not affected by liver dysfunction. Hypotension was prominent in patients with a MELD score of ≥10 30 min after induction. The proportion of bradycardia and hypotension at the other time points was not significantly different between MELD scores of ≤9 and ≥10. Notably, no bradycardia was observed in MELD of ≥10. Thus, bradycardia and hypotension was observed in patients with hepatic insufficiency over time, although patients with different severities of hepatic insufficiency did not present with different depths of anesthesia. TCI of propofol to 3 µg/ml may be not suitable for patients with hepatic insufficiency, particularly those with severe liver dysfunction. Predictive concentrations (Cp) of TCI propofol requires further investigation and adjustment in patients with hepatic insufficiency (trial registration no. ChiCTR-OCH-12002255).

Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish a standardized protocol for drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) to differentiate obstruction patterns in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Target-controlled infusion (TCI) of the sedative propofol was combined with real-time monitoring of the depth of sedation using bispectral analysis. In an observational study 57 patients (mean age 44.8 years, ± SD 10.5; mean apnea hypopnea Index (AHI) 30.8/hr, ± SD 21.6, mean BMI 28.2 kg/m2, ± SD 5.3) underwent cardiorespiratory polysomnography followed by DISE with TCI and bispectral analysis. Sleep was induced solely by the intravenous infusion of propofol with a TCI-pump, with an initial target plasma level of 2.0 µg/ml. Under continuous monitoring of the patient's respiration, state of consciousness and value of the bispectral analysis, the target plasma propofol level was raised in steps of 0.2 µg/ml/2 min until the desired depth of sedation was reached. The mean value of the bispectral analysis at the target depth of sedation was determined and the obstruction patterns during DISE-TCI-bispectral analysis then classified according to the VOTE-system. Subsequently the results were analyzed according to polysomnographic and anthropometric data. The occurrence of multilevel obstruction sites across all degrees of severity of OSA clarifies the need for sleep endoscopy prior to upper airway surgery. The advantage of this technique is the reproducibility of the protocol even for heterogeneous groups of patients. In addition, the gradual controlled and standardized increase of the plasma level of propofol with real-time control of the bispectral index leads to a precisely controllable depth of sedation. The DISE-TCI-bispectral analysis procedure is a step towards a required reproducible protocol of sleep endoscopy - capable of standardization. However it is not yet known whether these observed obstruction patterns also correspond to findings in natural sleep.

Abstract
Objective To determine the effect-site concentration (Ce) of remifentanil target-controlled infusion required for a smooth inhalational induction without airway irritation using desflurane in a stepwise incremental manner for 50% of patients (EC50) and 95% of patients (EC95). Methods Patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II, aged 19-60 years undergoing elective surgery were enrolled in this study. When target Ce of remifentanil was reached, desflurane was inhaled at 4 vol% initially and then it was increased to 8 and 12 vol% at intervals of 30 s. Smooth induction was regarded as an absence of airway irritation signs and excitatory movements. The EC50 and EC95 values for remifentanil were determined using a modified Dixon's up-and-down method as well as an isotonic regression method with a bootstrapping approach. Results The EC50 and EC95 of remifentanil for smooth induction during inhalation of desflurane were 3.40 ng/ml (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.42, 4.38 ng/ml) and 4.31 ng/ml (95% CI 2.15, 5.98 ng/ml), respectively. Conclusion Prior administration of remifentanil could provide smooth inhalational induction with desflurane in a stepwise increment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil is widely used in neuroanaesthesiology and enables the quick recovery and early neurological assessment of patients. The administration of muscle relaxants carries a risk of residual relaxation following surgery. The administration of a suitable dose of sugammadex reverses the neuromuscular block irrespective of its depth and has none of the side effects associated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of sugammadex for the reversal of vecuronium-induced effects following intracranial surgery. METHODS The study involved 38 women who underwent supratentorial tumour removal. These women were randomly divided into two groups. Total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol and remifentanil using target-controlled infusion was administered according to the Schnider and Minto models, respectively. Endotracheal intubation was performed after the target concentrations of propofol and remifentanil reached 4 μg mL⁻¹ and 4 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. Vecuronium (100 μg kg⁻¹) was administered, and no response to TOF stimulation was observed. Relaxation was continued via the continuous infusion of vecuronium (0.8-1.2 μg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹) to provide a TOF of 2 throughout the surgery. In group I, neuromuscular conduction was restored with intravenous sugammadex (2 mg kg⁻¹), whereas in group II, no reversal agents were administered. RESULTS The times of the return of spontaneous breathing, extubation, eye opening (both spontaneous and in response to a verbal command) were found to be longer in group II than group I. CONCLUSION The use of sugammadex following craniotomy accelerates the achievement of optimal extubation conditions.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish a new propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) model in animals so as to study the general anesthetic mechanism at multi-levels in vivo. Twenty Japanese white rabbits were enrolled and propofol (10 mg/kg) was administrated intravenously. Artery blood samples were collected at various time points after injection, and plasma concentrations of propofol were measured. Pharmacokinetic modeling was performed using WinNonlin software. Propofol TCI within the acquired parameters integrated was conducted to achieve different anesthetic depths in rabbits, monitored by narcotrend. The pharmacodynamics was analyzed using a sigmoidal inhibitory maximal effect model for narcotrend index (NI) versus effect-site concentration. The results showed the pharmacokinetics of propofol in Japanese white rabbits was best described by a two-compartment model. The target plasma concentrations of propofol required at light anesthetic depth was 9.77±0.23 μg/mL, while 12.52±0.69 μg/mL at deep anesthetic depth. NI was 76.17±4.25 at light anesthetic depth, while 27.41±5.77 at deep anesthetic depth. The effect-site elimination rate constant (ke0) was 0.263/min, and the propofol dose required to achieve a 50% decrease in the NI value from baseline was 11.19 μg/mL (95% CI, 10.25-13.67). Our results established a new propofol TCI animal model and proved the model controlled the anesthetic depth accurately and stably in rabbits. The study provides a powerful method for exploring general anesthetic mechanisms at different anesthetic depths in vivo.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to calculate the median effective concentration (EC50) of remifentanil (Rem) for the inhibition of laryngoscope-induced cardiovascular responses, and to observe its effects on the cardiovascular system and stress system. The study included 20 patients, who underwent time-scheduled vocal cord polyp resection with monitoring of heart rate (HR), mean blood pressure (MBP) and auditory evoked potential (AEP)-based A-line ARX Index (AAI). The Rem concentration was initially 5 ng/ml in the first patient, and the concentration selected for each subsequent patient was calculated from the previous case on the basis of whether or not cardiovascular reactions occurred. The HR, MBP and AAI at baseline, after the induction of anesthesia, and before and after the insertion of a self-retaining laryngoscope were recorded, with a change >15% recorded as a positive cardiovascular response. The EC50 sequential method was used to calculate the EC50 of Rem for the inhibition of laryngoscope-induced responses. Cortisol, interleukin-6 and blood glucose levels before and after laryngoscope insertion were also measured. The target-controlled concentrations for the 20 patients were as follows: 2 cases at 5 ng/ml, 6 cases at 4.2 ng/ml, 6 cases at 3.5 ng/ml, 4 cases at 2.9 ng/ml and 2 cases at 2.4 ng/ml. The EC50 of Rem for the inhibition of laryngoscope-induced responses was 3.5 ng/ml with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 3.47-3.60 ng/ml. A reasonable dose for inhibiting laryngoscope-induced responses was within the range 2.9-4.2 ng/ml. In conclusion, Rem exhibited an EC50 of 3.5 ng/ml for the inhibition of laryngoscope-induced cardiovascular responses, with a 95% CI of 3.47-3.60 ng/ml, and a reasonable dose for the inhibition of such responses was 2.9-4.2 ng/ml.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the relationship between effect-site concentration (CE) of propofol during total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) and cardiac systolic function using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in patients undergoing cardiovascular procedures. Methods Stepwise increments of CE of propofol of 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 µg/ml (modified Marsh model) were achieved using a target-controlled infusion device. Transthoracic echocardiographic assessments using TDI were performed for each CE of propofol and corresponding systolic myocardial velocity (s′), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and bispectral index (BIS) were evaluated. Results Data from 31 patients were analysed in this prospective study. The s′ velocity decreased with increasing propofol CE and values recorded at propofol CE 3.0 and 4.0 µg/ml were near or below 8 cm/s indicating abnormal cardiac systolic function. MAP, HR and BIS also decreased with each propofol CE increment. Conclusion Although the recommended dosage for propofol is up to 4.0 µg/ml, caution should be taken when using propofol concentrations above 2.0 µg/ml during TIVA in patients with underlying cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the propofol requirement, cardiovascular and respiratory variables using midazolam or lidocaine with a propofol target-controlled infusion (PTCI) for induction of anaesthesia in healthy dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, randomized, controlled blinded clinical trial. ANIMALS Sixty client-owned dogs [American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-II] undergoing surgical procedures. METHODS Thirty minutes after premedication with acepromazine (0.03 mg kg(-1) ) and morphine (0.2 mg kg(-1) ), PTCI was started and maintained at a plasma target concentration of 1 μg mL(-1) . Three minutes later, dogs (n = 20 per group) received either 5 mL 0.9% sodium chloride (SG), 2 mg kg(-1) of lidocaine (LG) or 0.2 mg kg(-1) of midazolam (MG) intravenously (IV) as a co-induction agent. Two minutes later, suitability for endotracheal intubation was assessed. If intubation was not possible, the propofol target was increased by 0.5 μg mL(-1) every 60 seconds until it was successfully achieved. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (fR ), and oscillometric systolic arterial pressure (SAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) were recorded immediately prior to commencing PTCI (B0), prior to intubation (BI), immediately after (T0), and at 3 (T3) and 5 (T5) minutes post-intubation. End-tidal partial pressures of carbon dioxide (PE(') CO2 ) were recorded at T0, T3 and T5. The occurrence of excitement at any time point was noted. RESULTS The median (range) propofol target concentration for endotracheal intubation was significantly lower in MG, 1.5 (1.0-4.0) μg mL(-1) compared with LG, 2.5 (1.5-4.5) μg mL(-1) or SG, 3.0 (2.0-5.0) μg mL(-1) . Heart rate, MAP, fR and PE(') CO2 were similar in the three groups at all time points. No excitement was reported in any dog. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Midazolam, but not lidocaine, provided a significant reduction in PTCI requirement for induction of anaesthesia thereby allowing successful intubation. However, cardiovascular and respiratory effects were not different between the groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sedatives must be carefully titrated for patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) as oversedation may lead to disastrous respiratory outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the relations between the effect-site concentration (Ce) of propofol and sedation and airway obstruction levels in patients with OSAHS. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 25 patients with OSAHS, sedation was induced by 2% propofol using target-controlled infusion. Sedation and airway obstruction levels were assessed using the Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale and a four-category scale, respectively. The relationships between propofol Ce and sedation and airway obstruction were evaluated using a sigmoid Emax model. Pharmacodynamic modeling incorporating covariates was performed using the Nonlinear Mixed Effects Modeling VII software. RESULTS Increased propofol Ce correlated with the depth of sedation and the severity of airway obstruction. Predicted Ce50(m) (Ce associated with 50% probability of an effect≥m) for sedation scores (m≥2, 3, 4, and 5) and airway-obstruction scores (m≥2, 3, and 4) were 1.61, 1.78, 1.91, and 2.17 μg/mL and 1.53, 1.64, and 2.09 μg/mL, respectively. Including the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) as a covariate in the analysis of Ce50(4) for airway obstruction significantly improved the performance of the basic model (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The probability of each sedation and airway obstruction score was properly described using a sigmoid Emax model with a narrow therapeutic range of propofol Ce in OSAHS patients. Patients with high AHI values need close monitoring to ensure that airway patency is maintained during propofol sedation.
