Propofol (Dipirivan) is an intravenous anaesthetic drug used for general anaesthesia. Although frequently used as a general anaesthetic for ultrasound procedures, its use during transvaginal oocyte retrieval is currently being debated. A total of 202 patients undergoing fertility treatment was included in a prospective, matched, controlled study, in which we compared fertilization rates and embryo development in terms of morphological quality and speed of development and the implications for reproductive outcome and pregnancy following general anaesthesia using either propofol or a paracervical local anaesthetic block during oocyte collection. There were no differences between the fertilization rates and the embryo cleavage characteristics for the two groups. The initial implantation rate per transferred embryo after general anaesthesia was similar to that after paracervical local anaesthetic block (13.4 versus 18.6%; P = 0.10). The ongoing clinical implantation rates per embryo transferred were also similar in the two groups. 相似文献

Two studies were carried out in patients undergoing bilaterally symmetrical lower third molar surgery under general anaesthesia. In the first study observations were carried out in 40 patients, using McGill pain questionnaires and visual analogue scales (VAS), to assess the variation in pain intensity between the two sides in each individual on the morning after surgery. The within-patient variation in pain intensity indicated that a sample size exceeding 30 was required to show a difference of more than 10 mm on the VAS and achieve a power of 90% at the 5% level of significance. The second study was carried out to determine if local anaesthesia administered before rather than after tooth removal rendered any benefit. Each of the 38 patients acted as their own control; one side was allocated randomly to receive the local anaesthetic before operation and the other side after operation. The difference in pain between the pretreated and post-treated sides in each individual was assessed using a McGill pain questionnaire on the morning after surgery in addition to two VAS (one for each operation side) after operation, at 6 h, 1 and 6 days after surgery. There were no significant differences in pain at any time using any of the above methods. 相似文献

The use of local anaesthetic has been shown to reduce the incidence of pain after laparoscopic sterilisation and the need for opioid analgesia from day surgery. We investigated a technique in which a catheter is placed in the pouch of Douglas allowing repeated administration of local anaesthetic in the postoperative period. Forty patients were randomly allocated pre-operatively into one of two groups to receive in a double-blind manner either lignocaine 1% or normal saline. Pain was assessed using visual analogue and subjective scoring systems. Postoperative pain scores were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) after injection of lignocaine through the catheter. There were no complications related to the technique and no evidence of local anaesthetic toxicity. Lignocaine instilled into the Pouch of Douglas is an effective method for postoperative pain relief after laparoscopic sterilisation. 相似文献

Two anaesthetic managements for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were compared in 64 patients in order to investigate some perioperative complications: 1) bowel distension during surgery. 2) recovery from anaesthesia. 3) post-surgery incidence of emesis and pain. In addition, the quality of postoperative peristalsis as well as the time of dimissal were recorded. Group I (n = 30) was treated with NLA in N2O-O2 and Group II (n = 34) received propofol plus fentanyl in air-O2. Bowel distension, evaluated by surgeon at 15 min intervals throughout the operation was similar in both the groups as well as postoperative peristalsis recuperation. During the first 12 hours after laparoscopy no differences were found at any times of observation in the incidence or severity of emesis and pain between the two different anaesthesia patients. In subjects which were given propofol the psychomotor recovery was more rapid than after NLA, particularly during the first 6 hours after surgery. The patients were discharged between 36-48 hours following the operation independently from anaesthetic management. It is concluded that both the anaesthetic techniques provide similar intra/postoperative conditions, except the early recovery that is more rapid for the propofol patients. The overall frequency of emesis and pain was rather high in both the groups, suggesting a routine medication with analgesics and antiemetics. 相似文献

The aim of this investigation was to study the role of the nasal airway in mediating upper airway reflexes during induction of anaesthesia when the commonly used irritant inhalational anaesthetic agent enflurane is used. In a prospective randomised study, 40 ASA 1 & 2 day-case patients undergoing body surface surgery were recruited. Following intravenous induction using propofol, 20 patients received enflurane administered via a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), the anaesthetic vapour therefore bypassing the nasal airway. In the other group, 20 patients received enflurane anaesthesia administered using a face mask, the nasal airway therefore being exposed to inhalation anaesthetic. We were unable to demonstrate any significant (p < 0.05) differences between the two groups in relation to upper airway complications (cough, breath holding, laryngeal spasm, bronchospasm and excitement). Previous work has identified the nose as a possible important reflexogenic site for upper airway reflexes in humans during anaesthesia. We have been unable to demonstrate any difference in upper airway complications when the nasal airway was included or excluded from exposure to irritant anaesthetic vapours, when administered in a clinical setting. 相似文献

Thresholds to noxious mechanical and thermal stimulation were measured in 6 groups of sheep prior to induction of anaesthesia and subsequently for a period of 2 h in the post-anaesthetic period. Groups 1-4 were anaesthetised using thiopentone and underwent ventral midline laparotomy. Four animals (group 5) underwent anaesthesia but not surgery, and a further 6 sheep (group 6) undergoing surgery were anaesthetised using ketamine. Groups 1-3 were intravenously administered the following drugs intra-operatively: flunixin meglumine, carprofen and buprenorphine, respectively. Groups 4-6 received no additional treatment. Thresholds to the mechanical test were not changed in the post-anaesthetic period for any group. There was a significant reduction in the responses to thermal stimulation after surgery for sheep in group 4 (45 and 60 min), while sheep in group 2 had thresholds to thermal stimulation greater than those recorded in the remaining groups at all time points post-operatively. Responses to thermal stimulation in sheep undergoing anaesthesia but not surgery (group 5) were unaltered during the 2 h recording period after anaesthesia ended. These data indicate that abdominal surgery induces thermal but not mechanical hyperalgesia in sheep, which appears to be centrally mediated. Moreover, the absence of mechanical hyperalgesia raises the possibility that central changes in noxious information processing may not be detected using mechanical stimuli in the same time course as thermal stimuli. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dexamethasone decreases chemotherapy-induced emesis when added to an antiemetic regimen. This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of granisetron-dexamethasone combination for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in female patients undergoing general anaesthesia for breast surgery. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind manner, 135 ASA I patients, aged 40-65 years, were assigned to receive placebo (saline), granisetron 40 micrograms.kg-1 or granisetron 40 micrograms.kg-1 plus dexamethasone 8 mg i.v. (n = 45 of each) immediately before the induction of anaesthesia. A standard general anaesthetic technique and postoperative analgesia were used. The PONV and safety assessments were performed continuously during the first 3 h (0-3 h) and the next 21 h (3-24 h) after anaesthesia. RESULTS: A complete response, defined as no PONV and no administration of rescue antiemetic medication, during 0-3 h after anaesthesia was 51%, 82% and 96% in patients who had received placebo, granisetron and granisetron-dexamethasone combination, respectively; the corresponding incidence during 3-24 h after anaesthesia was 56%, 84% and 98% (P < 0.05; overall Fisher's exact probability test). No clinically important adverse events were observed in any of the groups. CONCLUSION: Prophylactic use of granisetron-dexamethasone combination is more effective than granisetron alone for the prevention of PONV after breast surgery. 相似文献

A total of 102 patients with phaeochromocytoma who underwent surgery by the same team between 1964 and 1976 were allocated to three groups according to the anaesthetic protocol used: (1) balanced anaesthesia and control of hypotension with noradrenaline; (2) anaesthesia with halothane and replacement of blood volume; (3) neuroleptanalgesia (droperidol and phenoperidine) and replacement of blood volume. None of the patients in any of the three groups received adrenergic inhibitors before anaesthesia. Comparison of the results in the three groups revealed that the major factor responsible for reduction of operative mortality to almost zero was control of hypotension by replacement of blood volume rather than by the use of noradrenaline following resection of the tumour, whereas the type of anaesthetic agent used was of secondary importance. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the use of topical anaesthesia and transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation (TENS) as means of reducing the discomfort of inferior dental block injections. METHODS: One hundred adult dental patients received 2% lignocaine with 1:80,000 adrenaline for long buccal and inferior dental block anaesthesia. The long buccal injections were given first with no prior mucosal preparation. Patients received inferior dental blocks after one of the following mucosal preparations: (1) no pretreatment; (2) a 2 min application of 20% benzocaine topical anaesthetic; (3) application of patient-controlled TENS at the injection site. Patients scored injection discomfort after each administration on a 100 mm visual analogue scale. RESULTS: The discomfort of the long buccal injection did not differ between the three groups of patients (F2,97 = 1.0). There were significant differences in the pain scores for the inferior dental block injections (F2,97 = 5.3; p < 0.01). Injection discomfort following TENS was less than that following no pretreatment (p < 0.01) and after topical anaesthetic application (p < 0.05). The use of topical anaesthesia did not produce a significant change in injection discomfort compared with no pretreatment. CONCLUSION: The use of TENS reduces injection discomfort during inferior dental block anaesthesia. 相似文献

In a randomized, double-blind study, we have compared the prophylactic antiemetic efficacy of ondansetron with that of metoclopramide in 123 patients undergoing general anaesthesia for day-case gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. The patients received either i.v. ondansetron 4 mg or metoclopramide 10 mg immediately before a standard anaesthetic. The number of patients with no nausea or vomiting in the ondansteron group was 50 (82%) compared with 29 (47%) in the metoclopramide group (P < 0.001). In those patients with a previous history of postoperative nausea and vomiting, nausea was less severe in those receiving ondansetron compared with those receiving metoclopramide (P < 0.05). We conclude that preoperative prophylactic administration of i.v. ondansetron was superior to metoclopramide in preventing nausea and vomiting after general anaesthesia for day-case gynaecological laparoscopic surgery. 相似文献

In a randomized, double-blind study, we have investigated the effect of dose and timing of administration of morphine on postoperative pain and analgesic requirements in 60 patients undergoing hysterectomy, with or without salpingo-oophorectomy. Patients were allocated randomly to one of three groups: during standardized general anaesthesia, group post received morphine 0.15 mg kg-1 i.v. at peritoneal closure after hysterectomy; group pre-low received morphine 0.15 mg kg-1 on induction of anaesthesia; and group pre-high received morphine 0.3 mg kg-1 on induction of anaesthesia. Median postoperative morphine consumption (first 24 h) from a PCA system was 68 mg (group post), 56 mg (group pre-low) and 43 mg (group pre-high), and total perioperative morphine consumption (induction of anaesthesia to end of 24 h after surgery) was 77 mg (group post), 65 mg (group pre-low) and 63 mg (group pre-high). Pain scores (at rest and on movement) were similar in the three groups. A large dose of morphine 0.3 mg kg-1 i.v. on induction of anaesthesia significantly reduced postoperative PCA morphine requirements compared with the smaller dose (0.15 mg kg-1) administered at induction or peritoneal closure, in patients undergoing hysterectomy, with or without salpingo-oophorectomy. 相似文献

We have determined the effectiveness and degree of motor block produced by the new local anaesthetic, ropivacaine, when used for caudal anaesthesia in children. We studied 60 children, aged 3-6 yr, ASA I, allocated randomly in a double-blind manner, to receive one of two local anaesthetics: 0.375% ropivacaine 1.0 ml kg-1 or 0.375% bupivacaine 1.0 ml kg-1. Patients were anaesthetized with continuous infusion of propofol 200 micrograms kg-1 min-1. The lungs were ventilated with 50% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Heart rate and arterial pressure were measured every 5 min after administration of local anaesthetic until discharge from the recovery room. The extent of motor block in the recovery room was scored as 1-3. Adverse events and time to first analgesic requirements were recorded. Patients in the two groups did not differ in age, weight or height. There were no differences in heart rate or arterial pressure between the two groups. No adverse events were observed. The degree of motor block was significantly different between the two groups. The ropivacaine group showed a shorter duration of motor block than the bupivacaine group (P < 0.05). Postoperative analgesia was required at a mean time of 5 (SD 3.2) h in the ropivacaine group compared with 5 (2.8) h in the bupivacaine group. These findings suggest that caudal anaesthesia with ropivacaine in paediatric patients is effective and produces less motor block in the postoperative period. 相似文献

Liver function tests were performed in 41 patients who required repeated anaesthetics for genito-urinary surgery, and who had received multiple halothane anaesthetics in the past, first following anaesthesia using halothane and then following an anaesthetic without halothane. There was a smaller frequency of disturbance of liver function after halothane than after the non-halothane anaesthetic. There was no obvious relationship between the number of anaesthetics, or the total duration of anaesthesia, and the disturbance of liver function tests. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: A high incidence of backache with radiating pains to the lower extremities, termed transient radicular irritation (TRI), has been reported following the use of 5% hyperbaric lidocaine. This has been attributed to a neurotoxic reaction. METHODS: A retrospective audit has been carried out in our hospital on the postoperative anaesthetic records of all patients from the 1st of January 1993 to the 1st of September 1996, who received spinal anaesthesia with either hyperbaric lidocaine or hyperbaric bupivacaine for day-care surgery. RESULTS: Backache was reported in 1.9% of patients (6/322) receiving hyperbaric lidocaine and in 2.4% of patients (1/41) receiving hyperbaric bupivacaine. This was not associated with any sensory, motor or sphincter disturbances. One patient complained of backache with bilateral pain referred to the gluteal area (TRI), which was assessed as acute facet joint syndrome. Unilateral accidental block of the femoral nerve was observed in 3 patients, sensory disturbances in the L2/3 dermatome was reported in a further 3 patients at 24 h, following wound infiltration with local anaesthetic during hernia repair. CONCLUSIONS: The low incidence of backache at 24 h and the absence of associated symptoms of neurogenic pain, sensory and motor disturbances, does not support the hypothesis that TRI is a neurotoxic reaction, subsequent to the use of hyperbaric lidocaine. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate sub-Tenon's anaesthesia as an alternative to peribulbar anaesthesia. METHODS: 109 consecutive patients listed for various eye operations (including cataract, trabeculectomy, and vitrectomy) under peribulbar anaesthesia were operated on under sub-Tenon's anaesthesia instead. After topical anaesthesia a buttonhole was fashioned through the conjunctiva and Tenon's capsule 10 mm posterior to the limbus. 1.5 ml of lignocaine 2% was then delivered to the posterior sub-Tenon's space using a blunt cannula. The surgical procedure was performed immediately after the completion of the anaesthetic procedure. Chemosis, conjunctival haemorrhage, degree of akinesia, and pain scoring were analysed. RESULTS: There were no anaesthesia related complications. The administration of the block was painless for 99.1% of the patients. In all, 97.3% reported no pain during surgery. There was no akinesia when assessed just after the completion of the block and akinesia was limited when assessed after surgery. Chemosis and conjunctival haemorrhage were frequent but caused no intraoperative problems. CONCLUSION: Sub-Tenon's anaesthesia is an efficient and safe anaesthetic technique. It is a good alternative to peribulbar anaesthesia. 相似文献

Innate and acquired immunity plays a pivotal role in the host defense response. Pain, stress, necrotic tissue and invading microorganisms are known modulators of the complex immune response of patients undergoing major surgery. Anaesthesia itself or perioperative interventions of the anaesthesiologist may substantially alter the immune function with potential impact on the postoperative course. For instance, transfusion of allogenic blood and administration of dopamine or metoclopramide may interfere with immunity. Stress and pain are associated with immune tolerance, increased susceptibility to infection and tumor spreading in animal models. Thus, anaesthesia may--through modulation of the neurohumoral stress response--indirectly affect immunity of the surgical patient. In particular epidural anaesthesia and/or administration of epidural or spinal opioids seem to attenuate the stress response with beneficial effects on cellular and humoral immunity. In addition, anaesthetics, such as etomidate, propofol, or thiopentone and opioid analgesics may directly affect function of immune competent cells. However, these actions may only be apparent with high or supraclinical concentrations and/or long-term exposure. Regarding the latter, evidence suggests that long-term sedation using thiopentone in neurosurgical patients is paralleled by infectious complications in a dose-dependent manner. At present, no data are available regarding the significance of the observed alterations associated with various anaesthetic procedures of the incidence of postoperative complications associated with impaired immunity, such as infection or metastatic spreading in oncological surgery. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To measure plasma cortisol responses in calves dehorned using a scoop after administration of local anaesthesia and/or cautery of the wounds. DESIGN: A physiological study with controls. PROCEDURE: There were six treatments: control handling with and without local anaesthesia, dehorning, dehorning after local anaesthesia, dehorning followed by wound cautery, and dehorning after local anaesthesia followed by wound cautery. Blood samples were taken before and after dehorning. RESULTS: Dehorning caused an increase in plasma cortisol concentrations, which decreased a little to plateau values and then declined to pretreatment values 3 to 4 h after dehorning. The peak was smaller after local anaesthesia was administered but when its effects wore off, cortisol concentrations increased and thereafter were similar to those in the dehorned animals. The combination of local anaesthesia and cautery resulted in a plasma cortisol response similar to those in control calves with or without local anaesthesia. CONCLUSIONS: If plasma cortisol concentrations reflect the distress being experienced by the calves, then local anaesthesia reduces the acute distress for about 3 h after dehorning but not during the subsequent 3 to 4 h. Combining local anaesthetic and cautery prevented the significant increase in plasma cortisol following dehorning and may eliminate the acute distress caused by scoop dehorning. 相似文献

We have studied the incidence and duration of perioperative myocardial ischaemia using ambulatory ECG monitoring in 100 patients undergoing transurethral surgery, who were allocated randomly to receive either general or spinal anaesthesia. The overall incidence of myocardial ischaemia increased from 18% to 26% between the preoperative and postoperative periods. Patients with ischaemic heart disease had a significantly greater incidence of myocardial ischaemia after operation than patients without known ischaemic heart disease (P < 0.05). There was an increase in both the incidence and duration of myocardial ischaemia after operation with both anaesthetic techniques, but no significant difference between the two. 相似文献

Recovery following different types of inguinal hernia repair has been objectively assessed by measuring reaction times when the subject performs an emergency stop in a driving simulator. A control group of patients who underwent varicose vein surgery to the groin under general anaesthetic without any muscle dissection demonstrated no alteration in response times. Eighty-two percent of those who underwent laparoscopic repair and 64% of those who underwent Lichtenstein repair returned to their preoperative times by 7 days after surgery. There was no difference in recovery of response times after Lichtenstein repair performed under local or general anaesthetic, in comparison with 33% of patients after Bassini repair. These results may influence the advice given by surgeons to patients after inguinal hernia surgery. 相似文献

We have performed a retrospective analysis of the peri-operative course of 218 consecutive patients who underwent routine coronary artery bypass graft surgery in this institution. All patients received a standardised general anaesthetic using target-controlled infusions of alfentanil and propofol. One hundred patients also received thoracic epidural anaesthesia with bupivacaine and clonidine, started before surgery and continued for 5 days after surgery. The remaining 118 patients received target-controlled infusion of alfentanil for analgesia for the first 24 h after surgery, followed by intravenous patient-controlled morphine analgesia for a further 48 h. Using computerised patient medical records, we analysed the frequency of respiratory, neurological, renal, gastrointestinal, haematological and cardiovascular complications in these two groups. New arrhythmias requiring treatment occurred in 18% of the thoracic epidural anaesthesia group of patients compared with 32% of the general anaesthesia group (p = 0.02). There was also a trend towards a reduced incidence of respiratory complications in the thoracic epidural anaesthesia group. The time to tracheal extubation was decreased in the epidural group, with the tracheas of 21% of the patients being extubated immediately after surgery compared with 2% in the general anaesthesia group (p < 0.001). There were no serious neurological problems resulting from the use of thoracic epidural analgesia. 相似文献
