연구배경: 임상적으로 진정법을 시행할 경우 뇌의 상태에 대한 접근은 매우 중요하다. 환자의 뇌에 대한 마취제의 영향을 측정하기 위해 개발된 Bispectral Index (BIS)는 환자의 진정을 방해하지 않고 객관적인 진정정도를 평가할 수 있다. 그러나 이는 항상 진정 깊이의 임상적인 척도와는 일치하지 않는다. 이번 연구에서는 진정법 시행시 환자의 진정 정도를 측정하기 위한 BIS의 유용성을 검증하기 위하여 BIS, 진정점수, 그리고 midazolam의 혈중 농도와의 관계를 연구하였다. 방법: 25명의 건강한 성인 지원자들을 대상으로 무의식을 유도하기 위하여 midazolam 0.08 mg/kg을 정맥으로 주입하였으며 환자의 의식 상태를 진정 회복 시까지 관하였다. BIS와 진정점수는 진정 전과, midazolam 투여 후 10, 20, 30분 간격으로 측정하였다. Midazolam의 혈중 농도는 주입 후 10분 경과 후에 정맥혈 채취 후 HPLC를 이용하여 측정하였다. BIS는 BISTM monitor (Aspect Medical Systems, USA)으로 측정하였으며 또한 진정 정도는 진정 점수로도 평가하였다. 결과: BIS 수치는 진정점수와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(r = 0.676, p < 0.05). 혈중 midazolam 농도가 감소함에 따라 혈중 농도는 진정점수와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다(r = -0.656). Midazolam 투여 후 10분에서 BIS 수치와 midazolam의 혈중 농도는 유의한 상관관계를 보이지 않았지만(r =0.467) 진정 후 수치는 진정 전 수치와 명확히 구분되었다. 결론: BIS는 환자의 수면상태의 효과적인 척도로 알려져 있으며 진정점수와도 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 그러나 항상 진정 깊이를 나타내는 임상적인 척도와는 일치하지 않았다. 그러므로 진정법 시행동안 BIS 만을 사용하는 것은 더욱 많은 주의가 필요하며 매 주어진 시간마다 다양한 진정 점수 측정방법으로 환자의 의식을 감시하는 것이 추천된다.

The purpose of this study were to evaluate the effect on the reversion of sedation induced by midazolam with flumazenil and to determine the plasma concentration of flumazenil according to the method of administration. Intranasal and intravenous flumazenil were administered to sedated health volunteers aged from 23 to 25 years, in doses typical of those used clinically to induce sedation with midazolam and for reversal with flumazenil. Objective assessment for degree of sedation and vital signs, plasma concentration were made for 2 hours period. 1. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, $SpO_2$ were not changed by adminstration of flumazenil in sedated subject with midazolam, but pulse rate was increased temporarily. 2. Flumazenil showed the reversal of the sedative effect induced by midazolam regardless of administration methods. But intravenous administration showed more effect on the degree and the duration of reversion than intranasal administration with the exception of on set time. 3. Peak plasma concentration of flumazenil administered by intranasal route reached after 2 min and that of flumazenil administered by intravenous route was 4 min. Thus uptake of flumazenil did not showed any difference in accordance with the adminstration route. 4. Administration of flumazenil resulted in the temporary increase of midazolam plasma concentration.

The safety and success of dental sedation for children depend mainly on respiratory status of patients. A special condition, that is, nasal breathing in supine position with their oral airway blocked by rubber dam, should be considered. Therefore, irrespective of medical consultation, pediatric dentists themselves should do respiratory assessment especially adenotonsillar hypertrophy, nasal obstruction, posterior nasal drainage and airway hypersensitivity. Patients with sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma, snoring and OSAS(obstructive sleep apnea syndrome) can induce the sedation failure and complete management of these can improve the safety of dental sedation.

This study was performed to evaluate sedation with quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) analysis in dogs. EEG is used to evaluate objectively the effects of CNS acting with brain and behavioral changes. Especially, spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF 95) parameter is an effective method to determine the sedative status. The SEF 95 is the frequency below 95% of the total power. Twelve healthy intact male Miniature Schnauzer dogs, which did not show any neurological abnormalities and disease, were used for the study. EEG electrodes were inserted in subcutaneous tissue over the calvaria without entering adjacent muscles. The EEG data were acquired and analyzed by EEG raw wave and spectral edge frequency 95 analysis. After the administration of sedatives, the SEF 95 values were shown the significant changes compared with the normal state In all groups (p<0.05). It is suggested that SEF 95 analysis is useful method for assessing the state of sedation in dogs.

Respiration is one of the important vital signs to determine the condition of the patient. Especially during deep sedation, since the patient's apnea and hypopnea are difficult to detect without continuous monitoring, there is a need for a continuous respiration monitoring method that can accurately and simply determine the patient's respiratory condition. Currently, respiration monitoring methods using various devices have been developed, but these methods have not only late response time but also low reliability at the clinical stage. In this study, attachable sensor using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) film and a monitoring device which could detect abnormal symptoms of breathing in early stage during deep sedation. The results of this study can be used in various medical fields including not only in the area of remote monitoring for respiration related sleep monitoring but also in routine monitoring during deep sedation.

연구배경: 일반적으로 자가통증조절기가 자가진정조절을 위해 적합한 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이 장치들은 몇몇 진정제 투여 시 너무 긴 최소 폐쇄간격을 가지고 있다 WalkMed사(Medex inc, USA)의 자가통증조절기는 폐쇄간격을 0으로 설정할 수 있으며 30 ml/h로 추가용량을 투여할 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 환자 개개인의 요구에 맞추어 환자의 진정을 조절하기 위하여 위장치를 이용한 propofol 자가진정조절기의 가능성를 조사하였다. 방법: Propofol과 전산 프로그램된 WalkMed 주입장치를 이용한 자가진정조절법이 치과치료를 받는 24명의 건강한 환자에게 시행되었다. Propofol 지속 주입량은 2 mg/kg/h로, 추가용량은 5 mg으로 조절되었으며 치소 폐쇄간격은 0으로 설정하였다. Ketoloac 30 mg이 통증 조절을 위하여 진정법 시행 전에 근주되었다. 결과: 진정법 시행 동안 주입된 propofol의 평균량은 3.4 mg/kg/h이었으며 평균 추가용량은 1.6 mg/kg/h이었다. 시간 당 추가용량에는 많은 변이가 있었다(0-32). 모든 환자는 진정법 시행 동안 완전한 각성상태였으며 이러한 진정 법에 만족하였다. 진정 법과 관련된 주요한 합병증은 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: WalkMed사의 자가통증조절기를 이용한 propofol 자가진정조절법이 치과 치료를 받는 환자들에게 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

The concepts of authenticity and integrity are very important standards to be satisfied in the conservation and utilization of Scenic Site (名勝), literally meaning the places of scenic beauty, as a public heritage. These concepts, which are frequently used in the conservation and utilization of the World Heritage inscribed by UNESCO, can be applied to all kinds of heritages. Recently, it has been widely recognized that the concepts of authenticity and integrity are not separable but interconnected. Accordingly, the maintenance of authenticity in Scenic Site should include not only the physical preservation but also the succession of historical tradition of enjoyment. The integrity in Scenic Site refers to the physical and social conditions under which authenticity can be satisfactorily protected. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the traditional ways of enjoying historical and cultural Scenic Site with emphasis on the Yeongnam Region and make a critical examination of cultural property protection areas that have been designated. Then, this study aims to find the ways to utilize Scenic Site to secure the standards of authenticity and integrity. As a result it was discovered that cultural property protection areas are not designated well enough to satisfy the standards of authenticity and integrity. Considering the fact that cultural property protection areas are the minimal institutional systems to maintain the original value of Scenic Site, it is necessary to pay more careful attention to the ways of securing the authenticity and integrity in Scenic Site.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine twenty four hour postsedation events after discharge in children sedated for dental treatment. The sedation sheets of 355 children were selected. Selection criteria excluded no midazolam or nasal route of midazolam, no ASA class I, absent or incomplete questionnaire. Children received orally chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine, nitrous oxide was maintained during the sedation. Midazolam was injected to buccal submucosa with titration. Parents were interviewed via telephone within twenty four hours after sedation. Questionnaire included sleeping response, sleeping time, sleeping behavior, vomiting response at home. Two hundred twenty four (67.8%) children slept and twenty one(6.3%) children had abnormal sleeping behavior. One hundred four(31.0%) children had abnormal behavior after sleep and ten(3.0%) children had vomiting response. In the children took the higher dose of midazolam, there were the great tendency to sleep after discharge (p<0.05), the more negative response to sleeping behavior(p = 0.055), the longer sleeping time(p=0.054). In this study many children slept after sedation and a few children showed negative response. However there were not any considerable emergency events. Further study is required to determine the postsedation safety for the use of submucosal midazolam combination with chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine.

Sedative method and its effect are affected by diverse variables: dosage and intake method of drug, weight, gender, patient compliance, sleeping hours prior to procedure, treatment hours, health status, type of used drugs are the factors. This study is conducted with empirical observation that shorter the sleeping hours before the day of chloral hydrate sedation, the effectiveness is larger; and therefore to actually recognize the correlation between chloral hydrate/hydroxyzine sedation and sleeping hours of child patient prior to sedation. The subjects were those children whose sleeping hours were similar to each other at the ages ranging from 2 to 5 years old totaling 37 children. Total 11 of them received pulp treatment. Sedative effect was evaluated by the same assessor with Houpt's rating scale. Sedative effect in relation with prior day's sleeping hours evaluated with simple regression analysis. Sedative effect in relation with pulp treatment was analyzed with independent t-test. Sleeping hours prior to sedation and sedation effect have negative correlation. No significant correlation is found between pulp treatment and sedation effect(p>0.05).

Purpose: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a very useful procedure in diagnosing gastrointestinal diseases. However, there can be some difficulty in performing this procedure in children due to the associated discomfort. Recently, sedative agents such as midazolam have been introduced to alleviate this problem quite successfully. In our study, we attempted to confirm the safety and efficacy of midazolam use by monitoring the vital signs of children undergoing endoscopy. Methods: We analyzed data on 244 children who received EGD in the department of pediatrics at Severance Hospital, Yonsei University between August 2003 and July 2005. We evaluated $O_2$ saturation, heart rate and change of mental status before and during the procedure and analyzed the results using the SPSS 12.0 package (Chi-square test, cross table method, etc.). Results: There was no significant difference in vital signs measured before and during EGD between midazolam treated and non treated children. There was no significant relationship between the amount of midazolam given and $O_2$ saturation or a change of mental status. Regarding the $O_2$ saturation, it was decreased during EGD in both groups with p<0.01 though no difference was noted between the groups; the $O_2$ level was maintained above 95% in all patients. The heart rate was also increased during EGD in both groups with a p<0.01; however, no significant difference was noted between the groups. Conclusion: We confirmed the safety of low dose midazolam by evaluating the vital signs of children during endoscopies. However, the doses used were not sufficient for sedation or to obtain an amnestic effect.
