Laser is getting more attention from increasing numbers of dental clinicians by its own several unique characteristics : precision, hemostasis, and bactericidal capacity. It also provides patients with several advantages of minimal tissue damage. faster healing with less postoperative pain and minimal use of local anesthetics. Labial or lingual frenectomies were performed successfully in three pediatric patients using Nd-YAG laser. When compared to the conventional scalpel method, less local anesthetics were needed and the bleeding control was so excellent that any suture was not necessary. The operation sites were completely healed without any infection or complication and discomfort from swelling or pain was not noted in all cases throughout the healing process.

We experienced a case of induction of general anesthesia without using neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in a 40-year-old woman with a history of anaphylaxis immediately after the administration of anesthetics lidocaine, propofol, and rocuronium to perform endoscopic sinus surgery 2 years before. The skin test showed a positive reaction to rocuronium and cis-atracurium. We induced general anesthesia without using NMBAs after inducing airway anesthesia with lidocaine (transtracheal injection and superior laryngeal nerve block). Deep general anesthesia was maintained with end-tidal 4 vol% sevoflurane. Hypotension was treated with phenylephrine infusion. The operation condition was excellent, and patient recovered without complications after surgery. Airway anesthesia with local anesthetics may be helpful when we cannot use NMBAs for any reason, including hypersensitivity to NMBA and surgery that needs neuromuscular monitoring.

The purpose of this study were to evaluate the effect of epinephrine-containing local anesthetics on pulpal blood flow (PBF) and to compare the change of pulpal blood flow after cavity preparation between in non-anesthetized teeth and in anesthetized ones in cats. Nine cats were initially anesthetized with intra-muscular injection of keramine(75mg/kg) and acepromazine(2.5mg/kg). Periapical radiographs of canine teeth were taken, followed by intra-venous injection of alpha-chloralose(40mg/kg) and urethane (500mg/kg) through the femoral vein for the general anesthesia.(중략)

This study was conducted in order to determine the effect of intraoperative hemoglobin changes on intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM). This was a retrospective study that included 339 participants who underwent cerebrovascular surgery. We compared anesthetic agents, intraoperative hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood transfusion, and blood loss. We examined motor evoked potential and sensory evoked potential to patients. There were significant differences in hemoglobin changes, bleeding levels, transfusion, anesthesia time, and postoperative mobility disorders. Moreover, compared with patients who received transfusions, those who did not receive transfusion had a lower average hemoglobin level, as well as a higher bleeding amount, and a need of higher anesthesia time and anesthetic dose. Also, we found vasospasm occurred while surgery can bring adverse results after operation. This study showed that an intraoperative decrease in hemoglobin levels affects the function of cerebral perfusion, which could result in abnormal nerve monitoring results. However, as this study could not find a relation of anesthetics to IONM, there is a need for further research regarding the association between anesthetics and hemoglobin changes and IONM.

Background: Ropivacaine is a new amide local anesthetics, having therapeutic properties similar to those of bupivacaine but less cardiovascular toxicity and motor blockade. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ropivacaine used in stellate ganglion block (SGB) compared with those of lidocaine or bupivacaine. Methods: This prospective and crossover study performed in twenty patients with sudden sensory neural hearing loss. All patients received three times SGB, in the paratracheal approach using 8 ml of 1% lidocaine, 0.2% bupivacaine, and 0.2% ropivacaine respectively without any orders. Onset time and action duration of Horner's syndrome were observed after each SGB. Results: Onset time of ropivacaine was the middle of the three agents; earlier lidocaine and slower bupivacaine. Lidocaine ($3.0{\pm}1.9$ min), bupivacaine ($4.1{\pm}2.9$ min) and ropivacaine ($3.3{\pm}1.3$ min). But there were no significant differences; Action duration of Horner's syndrome of ropivacaine (223.6?105.2 min) was longer than lidocaine ($134.6{\pm}77.3$ min) and shorter than bupivacaine ($241.2{\pm}115.8$ min). There were significant differences in the action duration of each local anesthetics (P<0.05). There was no critical side effects and temporary foreign body sensation was the most common side effect. Conclusions: We conclude that ropivacaine is a good alternative in SGB instead of lidocaine or bupivacaine. Ropivacaine is a long acting local anesthetic similar to those of bupivacaine with wide margin of safety. However, optimal concentration and volume of ropivacaine in SGB should be studied.

Background: No study has compared lidocaine with articaine, each at a concentration of 4% and combined with epinephrine. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 4% lidocaine with that of 4% articaine, with a concentration of 1:100,000 epinephrine added to each, in an inferior alveolar nerve block for surgery on impacted lower third molars. Method: This study was conducted at the Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand. The randomized, single-blind, comparative split-mouth study was carried out in patients with symmetrically impacted lower third molars, as identified on panoramic radiographs. Each patient underwent surgery for the removal of the lower third molars by the same surgeon under local anesthesia at two separate visits, 3 weeks apart. The onset and duration of local anesthesia, intra-operative pain, surgical duration, and number of additional anesthetics administered were recorded. Results: The subjective and objective onset of action for the local anesthetics showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). However, the intra-operative pain, surgical duration, duration of local anesthesia, and number of additional anesthetics administered did not show statistically significant differences. Conclusion: The use of 4% articaine for the inferior alveolar nerve block was clinically more effective in the onset of subjective and objective anesthesia as compared with the use of 4% lidocaine. Based on the pain scores from the visual analogue scale, 4% lidocaine provided more analgesia during the procedure, and patients noted less intra-operative pain than with 4% articaine; however, the difference was not clinically significant.

lntrarenal resistive index (RI) was determined in normal, sedated and diuretic kidneys. The mean RI values of normal dogs were $0.64{\pm}0.03$ without statistically significant difference between left and right kidney. Interrenal RI difference (${\Delta}RI$) was $0.03{\pm}0.01$. No significant relationship was found between mean intrarenal RI versus body weight. The mean intrarenal RI values after administration of acepromazine, xylazine, thiopental, and ketamine were $0.66{\pm}0.03$, $0.64{\pm}0.03$, $0.56{\pm}0.05$, and $0.50{\pm}0.05$, respectively. After administration of acepromazine or xylazine, a significant change of the RI was not found. But, a significant decrease of the RI following thiopental or ketamine administration could be observed as compared with the normal RI. The mean intrarenal RI values were $0.63{\pm}0.06$ and $0.62{\pm}0.04$ at 10 minutes and 30 minutes after injection of furosemide, respectively. No significant change of intrarenal RI was found after administration of furosemide. But, mannitol significantly decreased mean intrarenal RI to $0.57{\pm}0.02$ and $0.58{\pm}0.03$ at 30 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. Based on the obtained results, values of 0.72 and 0.05 may be proposed as the reasonable upper limits of RI and ${\Delta}RI$ of normal average. Acepromazine or xylazine are recommended as anesthetics for renal diseases because they have less effect on the RI. Further study using mannitol injection to increase ${\Delta}RI$ may be suggested in unilateral urinary tract obstruction since mannitol more effectively changed mean RI than furosemide.

Recently, continuous epidural infusion of narcotics and local anesthetics have been used for postoperative pain relief. This study was designed to compare the analgesic efficacy and side effects of continuous epidural infusion of narcotics and local anesthetics with those of intramuscular administration of meperidine, for postoperative pain relief after cesarean section. Forty patients were divided into 2 groups of 20 patients each ; Continuous epidural group and control (IM meperidine) group. Before each operation, the epidural group had an epidural catheter placed (L1-2) and following each operation, a bolus of 1%~8ml of lidocaine was injected, followed by continuous infusion of morphine 3 mg/day, fentanyl 300g, 2% mepivacaine 20 ml, 0.5% bupivacaine 20 ml and normal saline 40 ml. The control group received meperidine 50mg IM injection as needed. We evaluated analgesic efficacy with VAS (Visual analogue scale) and side effect at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hour intervals after the operation. The results were as follows: 1) Continuous epidural group was superior to the control group with respect to postoperative analgesia. 2) Side effects (pruritus, nausea & vomiting) were more frequent in the epidural group.

The efficiency of clove oil, MS-222, and 2-phenoxyethanol was evaluated as anesthetics in juvenile Scomber japonicus. Stage A5 of anesthesia was assumed to be sufficient for conducting routine aquaculture procedures in less than 3 min, with recovery (stage R5) in less than 5 min. The lowest effective doses of the three anesthetics were 50 mg $L^{-1}$ clove oil (anesthetic time of 71.3 s and recovery time of 167.0 s), 100 mg $L^{-1}$ MS-222 (anesthetic time of 70.7 s and recovery time of 115.7 s), and 400 mg $L^{-1}$ 2-phenoxyethanol (anesthetic time of 86.7 s and recovery time of 95.0 s). Anesthetic times decreased with increasing doses for all three anesthetic agents, and fish anesthetized with clove oil exhibited the longest recovery times. After 30 min, the highest plasma cortisol and lactate levels were detected with the use of clove oil, whereas the lowest values were observed with 2-phenoxyethanol. In addition, high glucose levels were maintained during recovery with clove oil, but the treatments did not significantly differ. The most effective of the three anesthetic agents was 2-phenoxyethanol, although all were considered acceptable for use in cultures of juvenile Scomber japonicus.
