Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the nursing needs of elderly patients who got a surgical operation under regional anesthesia(spinal, epidural, nerve block). Methods: The participants were 126 elderly patients who completed a questionnaire. The data were collected October 1 and October 31, 2012, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test. Results: The mean score for the nursing needs of elderly patients administered regional anesthesia during surgery was $3.08{\pm}0.38$, The scores for specific nursing needs were as follows: educational needs ($3.47{\pm}0.50$), spiritual needs ($3.37{\pm}0.78$), physical needs ($3.31{\pm}0.46$), emotional needs ($2.72{\pm}0.50$), and environmental needs ($2.51{\pm}0.47$). There were significant differences in nursing needs relative to gender, religion, and spouse status. Additionally, there were significant differences in nursing needs according to surgery department, the length of time the surgery, and the ASA(American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical classification. of the operation-related characteristics. Conclusion: When caring for elderly patients during the surgery, nurses must provide adequate information about the surgery and anesthesia. Further studies are needed to develop and evaluate nursing interventions to provide quality surgical care for the elderly patients.

치과마취시의 응급사항이란 마취를 시행하는 도중이나, 후에 정상적으로 기대되었던 현상외의 변이로 나타난 합병증과 같다고 생각되며 이들 합병증의 치료를 소홀히 하였을때 치명적인 상태까지도 도달할 수 있다. 마취의 효과는 주사침이 조직내로 자입된 후, 마취액이 주입되어 해당신경이 분포되는 부위에 동통감각이 소실됨으로써 얻어지게 된다. 그러므로 주사침의 자입시나 주입된 마취액에 의한 부작용이 없어야 한다.

In the domain of orthopaedic surgery, application of regional nerve block for surgery or pain control in upper and lower extremities has been increased. By performing regional block of popliteal (sciatic), femoral, proximal saphenous nerve and ankle block under guidance of ultrasound, not only the safety, but also success rate of the procedure has increased, and amount of local anesthetics could be used less, too. Since the perineural single injection or continuous catheterization of diluted local anesthetics was performed more precisely and easily by the guidance of ultrasound, postoperative pain could be controlled without complications of PCA such as nausea, vomiting, etc. We will discuss about this ultrasound guided regional nerve block.

척추마취는 국소마취제를 지주막하강에 주입하여 척수신경 전근과 후근을 차단하는 방법으로 하복부나 하지 수술 뿐 아니라 만성 통증과 암성 통증의 치료에도 이용되고 있는데 마취시간이나 제통시간의 연장 및 적절한 피부분절의 마취나 진통의 달성은 척추마취에서 중요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 morphine정주가 척추마취에 어떤 영향을 주는지 알아보기 위해 척추마취하에서 하지 수술을 받은 40명의 환자를 대상으로 척추마취를 시행한 80분에 척추마취 레벨, 수축기 및 이완기 혈압, 맥박 그리고 호흡수를 조사한후 morphine 10 mg을 정맥내로 주사후 20분후에 척추마취 레벨과 혈압, 맥박, 호흡수를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 척추마취 레벨은 morphine 투여진 $T_{7.5{\pm}0.32}$에 비해 morphine 투여 20분후에 $T_{6.0{\pm}0.31}$로 의의있게 상승하였다 (p<0.005). 2) 수축기 및 이완기 혈압과 맥박수는 morphine투여전과 투여후에 의의있는 변화가 없었다. 3) 호흡수는 morphine 투여전에 비해 투여후 감소가 있었다(p<0.005). 이상의 결과로 척추마취하에서 수술을 시행할 때나 통증치료시 전신적으로 morphne을 투여하여 마취와 진통부위를 넓일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical 5% EMLA cream versus 20% Benzocaine gel in reducing pain from intra oral needle insertion alone as well as injection of anesthetic. The 2 topical anesthetics were tested against each other bilaterally using a randomized, controlled, single blinded, split mouth design. Phase I was conducted to find out the rapidity of onset action of the two agents on anterior/posterior vestibules and anterior/posterior palatal mucosa. Phase II was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the two topical anaesthetic agents in reducing the pain of intraoral injections. The agents were left in anterior/posterior vestibules and anterior/posterior palatal mucosa for the amount of time recorded in phase I. Subjects recorded pain on a 100-mm modified visual analog scale(VAS). A pulse oximeter was used to recorded the preoperative and postoperative pulse rates. In phase I of the study, two topical agents showed the longer onset of action at anterior part and vestibules than posterior part and palatal mucosa. EMLA cream showed the rapidest onset of action compared to benzocaine gel except on anterior palatal mucosa. In phase II of the study, the VAS grading of the pain for anesthetic administration showed EMLA cream was significantly(P<.05) better in elimination or reducing the pain on the anterior/posterior palatal mucosa. In conclusion, EMLA cream showed the rapidest onset of action compared to benzocaine gel except on anterior palatal mucosa. EMLA cream was found to be superior to Benzocaine gel with regards to pain reduction for anesthetic administration especially on anterior and posterior palatal mucosa.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ropivacaine on pain following laparoscopic surgery. Between March 2015 and June 2017, all 97 patients with renal mass who elected to receive laparoscopic nephrectomy were reviewed, retrospectively. Normal saline (0.9%) was used as a control in 45 patients while Ropivacaine was used for local anesthesia in the instillation group (n=52). Pain score (visual analog scale) of the shoulder and upper abdominal area between the two groups was significantly different between recovery time and 24 h (p<0.05), with no significant differences between 48 and 72 h (both p>0.05). In the instillation group, pain score of shoulder and abdominal pain in the two groups according to the amount of CO2 used was not significantly different between recovery time and 24, 48, and 72 h (all p>0.05). Ropivacaine reduced shoulder and upper abdominal pain that occurred within 24 h after surgery. Effective pain control with Ropivacaine is needed in the early postoperative period when a large amount of CO2 is used in laparoscopic surgery.

Pediatric caudal anesthesia was done in 50 infants and children under 10 years of age, who were to undergo surgery of inguinal region. All cases were given 10mg/kg body weight of 1% lidocaine solution with epinephrine 1:200,000. The results were as follows : 1) Pediatric caudal anesthesia was simple, easy and reliable in technique. 2) Additional intravenous administration of Ketamine or pentothal sodium was needed. ie, to provide a more cooperative state. 3) Anesthetic effect was judged very Excellent. 4) Cardiovascular and respiratory changes were minimal. Author's came to conclusion that caudal anesthesia for pediatric inguinal region surgery is reliable, simple in technique, favorable to surgeon, and is considered to be a good technique for pediatric anesthesia.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2-step needle insertion technique to reduce pain during local anesthesia in children. Local anesthesia was performed bilaterally using conventional technique and a 2-step technique, and to compare the degree of pain using the 2-step with that using the conventional technique during local anesthesia using a pain scale. The pain scores were significantly different between the conventional technique and the 2-step insertion technique at 5.82 ± 2.14 and 2.57 ± 2.09, respectively (p < 0.001). The subjective degree of pain based on gender, age, and Frankl's behavior rating scale was significantly lower in the 2-step insertion technique (p < 0.001). Subjective pain levels in the area of maxilla and mandible, anterior and posterior parts were lower in the group treated using the 2-step insertion technique (p < 0.001). The 2-step insertion technique is a simple and effective way to reduce pain during local anesthesia not only in children with a positive attitude to dental treatment, but also in children with negative attitudes, and is thought to be more effective if combined with application of topical anesthesia or distraction.

세포막에서 마취제의 작용점을 규명하기 위하여, 마취제의 많은 부분을 차지하는 n-Alkanol을 이용하여, 소의 synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles(SPMV)에서 n-Alkanol의 침투 정도를 형광 probe를 이용한 형광소광법을 통하여 검색하였다. n-Alkanols는 SPMV 외부 단층(outer monolayer)의 표면에 주로 분포하되 그 탄소수에 비례하여 소수성 부위에 분포되는 양이 증가되는 경향을 나타내었다(1-decanol은 제외). Methanol, Ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, 1-pentano, 1-hexanol, 1-heptanol, 1-octanol, 1-nonanol 및 1-decanil은 SPMV 외부 단층의 표면(친수성 부위)에 분포되는 것에 비하여 각각 949, 416.8, 214.8, 90.3, 53.7, 15.20, 6.80, 2.00, 1.03 및 2.40 배가 된다는 것을 확인하였다. 1-decanol은 $C_{10}$인데도 불구하고 $C_8$인 1-octanol에 비하여 적은 양이 소수성 부위에 침투 분포한다는 것이 확인되었다.
