Background: Sevoflurane sedation in pediatric and disabled patients has the advantage of faster induction and recovery compared to general anesthesia, as well as minimum influence on the respiratory and cardiovascular functions, and airway protective reflexes. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of sevoflurane sedation used in dental treatment at one provincial dental clinic center for the disabled. Methods: We investigated patients' gender, age, reasons for undergoing sedation, medication history prior to treatment, duration of anesthesia, treatment length, type of treatment, and yearly patterns, for 387 cases of dental treatment performed using sevoflurane sedation from January 2013 to October 2016. Results: We analyzed 387 cases (215 male patients, 172 female patients). Male patients aged 20 year or older accounted for 39.0% of all patients, marking the highest proportion. Patient's lack of cooperation was the most common reason for performing dental sedation. Prosthetic treatment was the most frequently practiced, accounting for 174 treatment cases. The mean lengths of the entire treatment and of the dental procedure were 55.2 min and 39.8 min, respectively. Conclusions: Sevoflurane sedation has the advantage of fast anesthesia induction and recovery compared to general anesthesia; therefore, it can be used efficiently to induce anesthesia in pediatric and disabled patients during short dental procedures, enabling stable treatment of these patients.

세보플루란에 의한 일회 환기량은 낮은 용량에서는 호흡수의 증가로 안정적이다. 그러나 진정 깊이가 증가하면 폐포 환기는 세보플루란에 의해 감소되어 결과적으로는 $PaCO_2$가 증가한다. 호흡 억제의 발생은 깊이 진정된 장애 환자에서 심한 저산소증과 고탄산혈증의 위험을 증가시킨다. 세보플루란 흡입 마취는 여러 위험성이 내제되어 있으며 체내 산 염기 상태에 따라 혈역학적 변화가 발생하기에 예기치 못한 문제 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 세보플루란으로 장애인의 마취 유도 시 발생하는 호흡 억제로 인한 체내 산 염기 상태가 안정한지 알아보고자 이 연구를 진행하였다. 마취 유도는 4 vol% 세보플루란, 4 L/min 아산화질소, 4 L/min 산소를 자발 호흡 하에서 환자 안면부에 마스크를 거치하여 유도하였다. 그 뒤 환자의 의식소실 및 근육 긴장 완화 후 즉시 전문가에 의해 IV line을 거치한 뒤 정맥 채혈을 하여 정맥 내 혈액가스 분석을 하였다. 깊은 진정 상태에서 전체 환자의 평균 pH는 $7.36{\pm}0.06$으로 측정되었다. $PvCO_2$는 전체 환자에서는 평균 $48.8{\pm}8.50mmHg$로 측정되었다. $HCO_3{^-}$는 전체 환자에서 평균 $27.2{\pm}3.0mmol/L$로 측정되었다. 결론적으로 장애인을 대상으로 한 치과 진료시 세보플루란을 이용한 흡입 진정에 대한 체내 산 염기 반응은 비교적 안정적이었다.

Wolff-Hirschorn syndrome is a condition that is caused by a deletion of genetic material near the end of the short (p) arm of chromosome 4. The major features of this disorder include a characteristic facial appearance, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, and seizures. A 9-year-old girl was brought to the clinic with a chief complaint of dental examination. The child was diagnosed as WHS at Samsung medical center. The child was under Sodium valproate, Atrovastatin medication for epilepsy, hyperlipidemia and had a history of heart surgery. So prophylactic antibiotics were recommended. The child was mentally retarded and had seizure so it was difficult to manage her behavior effectively. Thus dental treatment was carried out under general anesthesia. For prompt sedation induction we used 8% sevoflurane shortly. This report presents the case of a 9-year-old girl with WHS, who has received treatment for extensive caries under general anesthesia.

EEG 신호에 내포된 상관특성을 알 수 있는 스케일 분석 기법인 DFA를 이용하여 수술 중 마취심도를 분석하고자하였다. 마취과 학회에서 제공하는 신체 분류 등급 1(건강한 환자), 2(경한 전신 질환, 기능 제한 없음) 등급의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 정신병력이나 신경계 이상이 있는 환자는 제외하였다. 수술 중 마취 환자의 평균 연령은 $48.9{\pm}10.9$ 세이고, 평균체중은 $57.1{\pm}8.2$ kg, 평균 신장은 $158{\pm}6.6$cm 였다. 수술을 위한 마취 약제로는 Sevoflurane를 사용하였고, 수술단계는 수술전, 마취유도, 마취유도 직후, 수술중, 마취제 중지, 수술 후의 6단계로 나누어 분석하였다. DFA의 ��${\alpha}1$, ${\alpha}2$, ${\alpha}3$ 중 ${\alpha}1$, ${\alpha}3$는 수술전단계, 마취 유도 단계, 마취 유도 단계 직후, 마취제 중지 단계, 수술후 단계를 구별 할 수 있는 파라미터들로 수술 중 마취 심도를 평가 할 수 있는 파라미터로 이용될 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

Background: Inappropriate use of intravenous and inhaled anesthetics may be dangerous in infants undergoing facial cleft surgeries. This study primarily aimed to compare the effect of infraorbital nerve block on sevoflurane requirement in infants undergoing cheiloplasty. Intraoperative opioid consumption, hemodynamics, blood glucose levels, extubation time, and delirium were also compared. Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blinded study was conducted in 34 infants undergoing cheiloplasty under general anesthesia. After induction, group A received bilateral infraorbital nerve block with 0.5 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine and group B 0.5 mL saline. An increase in heart rate or blood pressure > 20% was managed by increasing sevoflurane by 2-2.5%, followed by fentanyl 0.5 ㎍/kg bolus. The chi-square test and independent-sample t-test were used where applicable. Results: Demographics, duration of surgery, and intravenous fluids used were comparable between the groups. Compared to group A, patients in group B had significantly higher consumption of fentanyl (14.2 ± 4.4 ㎍ vs. 22.1 ± 6.2 ㎍) and sevoflurane (14.2 ± 4.8 mL vs. 26.8 ± 15.6 mL). Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters were significantly lower in group A, the number of times increases in hemodynamic parameters occurred, and fentanyl supplemental bolus was required remained significantly lower in group A than in group B. Intraoperative glycemic levels remained higher in group B, and the extubation time was significantly shorter in group A than in group B (4.40 ± 1.60 min vs. 9.2 ± 2.18 min). Group A had a lesser occurrence of postoperative delirium. Conclusion: Supplemental infraorbital block in infants undergoing cheiloplasty under general anesthesia resulted in significantly decreased anesthetic requirements and optimal hemodynamic and glycemic levels with faster extubation and lesser delirium.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze outpatient anesthesia for dental treatment in handicapped patients with behavior disorder in order to use data for carrying out better and safe anesthetic management. Methods: The data were drawn from the 100 patients with behavior disorder who visited CNUDH dental clinic for disabled based on anesthesia record to investigate patient's systemic condition, cooperative level, anesthesia method according to patients cooperation, and side effects after recovery time. Results: Mental retardation (58%) is the most reason to choose general anesthesia. The methods of induction according to cooperative level are intravenous propofol injection in 22 cases and inhalation of sevoflurane in 78 cases. Induction time of anesthesia were within 10 seconds in cases of propofol induction and average $48.8{\pm}18.5$ seconds in cases of inhalation induction. The time spent on dental treatment was average $3.2{\pm}1.1$ hours. After the end of treatment, average time to move from unit chair to recovery bed, to recliner, and to discharge from hospital are $10.4{\pm}5.1$, $36.9{\pm}17.1$ and $72.4{\pm}16.0$ minutes, respectively. During recovery, there are nausea with 9%, vomiting with 4%, dizziness with 2%, finger injury with 1%. Conclusions: This study showed our successful anesthetic outcomes without any severe side effects or complications. Through this study, it will be used for safe anesthetic management as useful reference data.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is non-progressive disorder of motion and posture. In CP patient, there are difficulties in dental treatment because of uncontrolled movement of limb and head, and conjoined disabilities such as cognitive impairment, sensory loss, seizures, communication and behavioral disturbances. It is reported that CP patients have high incidence in caries and a higher prevalence of periodontal disease. But, despite the need for oro-dental care, these patients often are unlikely to receive adequate treatment without sedation or general anesthesia because of uncontrolled movements of the trunk or head. Methods: We reviewed the 58 cases of 56 patients with CP who underwent outpatient general anesthesia for dental treatment at the clinic for the disabled in Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Results: The mean age was 19 (2-54) years. The number of male patient was 40 and that of female was 18. They all had severe spastic cerebral palsy and 22 had sever mental retardation, 15 epilepsy, 8 organic brain disorder, 1 blindness, 2 deafness and cleft palate. For anesthesia induction, 14 cases was needed physical restriction who had sever mental retardation and cooperation difficulty, but 44 cases showed good or moderate cooperation. Drugs used for anesthesia induction were thiopental (37 cases), sevoflurane (14 cases), ketamine (3 cases ) and propofol (4 cases). All patients except one were done nasotracheal intubation for airway management and 4 cases were needed difficult airway management and 1 patient already had tracheostomy tube. Mean total anesthetic time was $174{\pm}56$ min and staying time at PACU was $88{\pm}39$ min. There was no death or long term hospitalization because of severe complications. Conclusion: If general anesthesia is needed, pertinent diagnostic tests and workup about anomaly, and appropriate anesthetic planning are essential for safety.
