Hemostatic Changes After Crystalloid or Colloid Fluid Administration During Major Orthopedic Surgery: The Role of Fibrinogen Administration
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 905-917. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Intravascular volume replacement during major orthopedic surgery causes dilutional coagulopathy, primarily by interfering with fibrinogen/fibrin polymerization. This is exacerbated by the administration of hydroxyethyl starch solutions. Administration of fibrinogen concentrate can help correct the coagulopathy.

Clevidipine Effectively and Rapidly Controls Blood Pressure Preoperatively in Cardiac Surgery Patients: The Results of the Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Efficacy Study of Clevidipine Assessing Its Preoperative Antihypertensive Effect in Cardiac Surgery-1
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 918-925. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the ultrashort-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, clevidipine, was shown to be effective for treating preoperative hypertension with a 92.5% success rate in decreasing systolic blood pressure at least 15% from baseline in a high-risk patient population scheduled for cardiac surgery.

Isoflurane Activates Human Cardiac Mitochondrial Adenosine Triphosphate-Sensitive K⁺ Channels Reconstituted in Lipid Bilayers
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 926-932. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Brief exposure to volatile anesthetics protects the heart against subsequent myocardial ischemia, a phenomenon known as "anesthetic-induced cardiac preconditioning." Here we present evidence showing that the human cardiac mitochondrial KATP channel, reconstituted in lipid bilayers, can be directly activated by isoflurane. This activation apparently does not require the translocation of cytosolic kinases, as previously proposed, in anesthetic-induced preconditioning.

Thrombin Generation Assay and Viscoelastic Coagulation Monitors Demonstrate Differences in the Mode of Thrombin Inhibition Between Unfractionated Heparin and Bivalirudin
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 933-939. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: During anticoagulation with bivalirudin, recovery of thrombin activity is observed due to the decay of bivalirudin. Similar prolongations of ACT between heparin and bivalirudin do not reflect the similar extent of thrombin inhibition.

The Narcotrend^TM Monitor and the Electroencephalogram in Propofol-Induced Sedation
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 982-992. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: In a volunteer study, scoring results of the one-channel NarcotrendTM monitor was compared with those from visual expert analysis of five-channel electroencephalogram, which is the basis of NarcotrendTM scoring. Classification differences of more than three substages were noted during more than half of the 24 procedures. Discordant trends for at least five consecutive 20-s epochs were observed in 9 of 24 propofol administrations.

Low Concentrations of Pentobarbital Enhance Excitability of Rat Hippocampal Neurons
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 993-997. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Small doses of anesthetics can induce an excitatory state characterized by activation of the electroencephalogram and increased responsiveness to noxious stimuli. Here we have shown that low concentrations of pentobarbital are associated with an increased excitability of rat hippocampal neurons in vitro.

Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Express Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ, but Not µ, , or Opioid Receptors
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 998-1005. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Opioids depress the immune response, but the involvement of opioid receptors on immune cells is controversial. In the blood of volunteers we failed to detect MOP ({micro}), DOP ({delta}), KOP ({kappa}) or Nociceptin receptor (NOP) protein, but we did find NOP mRNA. Direct immunomodulation by opioids in health is unlikely to involve classical opioid receptors, but the nociceptin system may represent a new clinical target.

Isoflurane Bidirectionally Modulates the Paired-Pulse Responses in the Rat Hippocampal CA1 Field In Vivo
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1006-1011. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Using rats chronically implanted with electrodes, excitatory postsynaptic potential and population spike amplitude were measured in the hippocampal CA1 field by stimulating Schaffer collaterals. Isoflurane depressed excitatory postsynaptic potential responses and enhanced synaptic efficacy, but population spike amplitude was depressed only with high concentrations. This suggests that isoflurane affects multiple sites of CA1 synapses.

The Effects of General Anesthesia on Human Skin Microcirculation Evaluated by Wavelet Transform
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1012-1019. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: We used the wavelet transform of laser Doppler flowmetry signals to detect changes in the microcirculation of the skin induced by anesthesia with propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam. We found that general anesthesia reduced the components of the signals related to inhibition of sympathetic and myogenic activity and endothelial function.

Neurons in the Ventral Spinal Cord Are More Depressed by Isoflurane, Halothane, and Propofol Than Are Neurons in the Dorsal Spinal Cord
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1020-1026. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Isoflurane, halothane, and propofol depress spinal neurons in the ventral horn, but not the dorsal horn, in the 0.8 1.2 minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration range. These data suggest that immobility likely occurs as a result of anesthetic action on ventral neurons, presumably motoneurons, central pattern generators, and premotor interneurons.

Propofol Reduces Apoptosis and Up-Regulates Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Protein Expression in Hydrogen Peroxide-Stimulated Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1027-1033. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: We evaluated the effects of propofol on oxidative stress-induced endothelial cell insults and the possible protection by Akt modulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Our results show that propofol can reduce hydrogen peroxide-induced damage and apoptosis in endothelial cells, by suppressing caspase-3 activity and increasing eNOS expression via an Akt-independent mechanism.

The Antiproliferative Effect of Sildenafil on Pulmonary Artery Smooth Muscle Cells Is Mediated via Upregulation of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 and Degradation of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2 Phosphorylation
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1034-1041. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Sildenafil, as a selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, prevents pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation via upregulation of MKP-1 and degradation of phosphorylation of ERK1/2. This suggests the potential utility of the drug in patients with congenital heart disease complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vascular remodeling.

A Simple Method to Determine Mixed Exhaled CO₂ Using a Standard Circle Breathing Circuit
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1048-1052. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Mixed exhaled CO2 (PECO2) is difficult to measure using standard anesthesia equipment. In this study, we demonstrated that mixed exhaled CO2 can be measured by sampling gas from within the bellows of an anesthesia ventilator and used to calculate CO2 production.

Development of a Scheduled Drug Diversion Surveillance System Based on an Analysis of Atypical Drug Transactions
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1053-1060. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: We combined data from an anesthesia or operating room information management system and a pharmacy dispensing system to identify two anesthesia care providers known to have diverted drugs. The methodology, if in use at the time, would have identified their addiction earlier than was actually recognized. This approach may be a useful method to detect drug diversion in the operating room.

Discrepancies in Medication Entries Between Anesthetic and Pharmacy Records Using Electronic Databases
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1061-1065. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Linking anesthesia information management systems to medication dispensing systems may facilitate automated reconciliation of controlled substances. In practice, there were too many data entry errors in both the automated dispensing and anesthesia information systems for useful automation.

A Survey of Propofol Abuse in Academic Anesthesia Programs
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1066-1071. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF] [CME]  

IMPLICATIONS: The academic anesthesiology training programs in the United States reported 25 cases of propofol abuse during the past decade, including 7 deaths, 6 among residents. Programs with lack of control of propofol (e.g. pharmacy accounting) had a significantly higher incidence of abuse (P = 0.048).

The Influence of Venovenous Renal Replacement Therapy on Measurements by the Transpulmonary Thermodilution Technique
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1079-1082. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Venovenous renal replacement therapy with relatively low flow rates has no clinically relevant effect on the measurement of cardiac index, intrathoracic blood volume, and extravascular lung water by the transpulmonary thermodilution technique in hemodynamically stable patients with sepsis. Furthermore, the position of the dialysis catheter tip (superior vena cava versus inferior vena cava) does not have a significantly different influence under these conditions.

The Preoperative Use of Gabapentin, Dexamethasone, and Their Combination in Varicocele Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1137-1142. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Gabapentin and dexamethasone administered together an hour before varicocele operation results in less laryngeal and tracheal intubation response, better postoperative analgesia, and prevents postoperative nausea and vomiting better than individual administration of each drug.

Opioid-Induced Sedation in the Postanesthesia Care Unit Does Not Insure Adequate Pain Relief: A Case-Control Study
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1143-1147. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: Sedation associated with high pain scores occurred during morphine titration in the postanesthesia care unit. Sedated patients in pain frequently reported the memory of moderate-to-severe pain in the postanesthesia care unit and at 24 h after surgery. Concern over side effects associated to morphine sedation is likely to have caused under-treatment of postoperative pain.

The Episure^TM Syringe: A Novel Loss of Resistance Syringe for Locating the Epidural Space (Brief Report)
Anesth Analg 2007 105: 1164-1166. [Abstract] [Full Text] [PDF]  

IMPLICATIONS: The EpisureTM syringe is a new loss-of-resistance syringe for locating the epidural space. The pressure on the plunger of the syringe is supplied by a spring. The syringe reliably detected needle entry into the epidural space in a laboratory and an animal model and, clinically, in women receiving labor epidural analgesia.
