패혈증 환자에 흡입마취제를 투여하는 것은 혈역동학에 심각한 영향을 초래할 수 있다. 흡입마취제 투여시 내독소혈증흰쥐 대동맥 수축반응에 미치는 hydroxocobalamin의 영향을 알아보기위해, 내독소 (1.5 mg/kg)를 복강내 투여한 뒤 18시간 후에 대동맥을 적출하여 phenylephrine에 대한 수축반응과 이에 대한 흡입마취제 및 hydroxocobalamin의 작용을 알아보았다. 패혈증이 적절히 유발되었는 지를 확인하기 위해 RT-PCR을 이용하여 혈관 평활근에서 iNOS유도를 확인하였다. 내독소 처치에 의해 수축기 및 확장기 혈압이 대조군에 비해 유의하게 감소되었으나, 심박동수는 영향이 없었다. Phenylephrine에 대한 수축반응은 $10^{-8}\;M$부터 $10^{-5}\;M$까지 용량 의존적으로 증가했으며, 내독소혈증흰쥐 대동맥에서 수축반응이 억제되었다. halothane과 enflurane은 1 MAC 농도에서 phenylephrine에 의한 수축반응을 유의하게 억제했으나 isoflurane은 영향이 없었다. Hydroxocobalamin $(10^{-5}\;M)$은 흡입마취제의 종류 및 투여 유무에 관계없이 내독소혈증흰쥐 대동맥 수축반응을 증가시켰다. 이상의 결과로 미루어보아 hydroxocobalamin은 패혈증 환자의 흡입마취시 혈역동을 개선시킬 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) is a common problem after general anesthesia. The aim of this prospective, double-blind randomized study was to compare the effect of Propofol-Remifentanil vs. Sevoflurane inhalational anesthetics on PONV after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Forty patients (ASA physical status 1, 2) scheduled for elective surgery participated in the study. Twenty of them received total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA group) with Propofol-Remifentanil, and the rest were given Sevoflurane inhalational anesthetics (inhalation group). The TIVA group was induced with Propofol 5mcg/ml and Remifentanil 3~4mcg/ml. The anesthesia was maintained with the continuous infusion of Propofol 2~3mcg/ml and Remifentanil 2~3mcg/ml IV. The inhalation group was induced with Pentotal Sodium 5mg/kg and 3~4mcg/kg/hr IV Remifentanil. Maintenance was obtained with 1.5~2.0 vol% Sevoflurane. Results: The subjects in TIVA group reported less PONV than those in Sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia group. Conclusion: Propofol-Remifentanil anesthesia (TIVA group) was considered a satisfactory anesthetic technique in reducing PONV in patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Malignant hyperthermia has been reported by many authors since Denborough [1960] first described concerning anesthetic death in a family. Malignant hyperthermia is characterized by a hypermetabolic state [tachycardia, tachypnea, hypercarbia, hypoxia, cyanosis, hypotension, high fever and muscle rigidity] and is related to a hereditary defect of skeletal muscle. In susceptible individuals, it is triggered by potent inhalational anesthetics, depolarizing muscle relaxant [Succinylcholine], amide type local anesthetics [prototype lidocaine] and occasionally by stress due to emotional and environmental factors. Unrecognized and untreated malignant hyperthermia is associated with a very high mortality rate. Recently authors have experienced malignant hyperthermia in 5 year old male child who was diagnosed to have patent ductus arteriosus and interatrial septal defect associated with congenital physical deformities such as short stature, hypotrophic muscles and genu valgus deformity of lower extremity, indirect inguinal hernia and Ramphant caries.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the sedation technique for implant surgery by combining the use of inhalation of nitrous oxide/oxygen with intravenous midazolam. Methods: Patients requiring surgery for the placement of dental implants were randomly allocated to two groups receiving intravenous midazolam or a combined technique using nitrous oxide/oxide and intravenous midazolam. Safety parameters, cooperation scores, anxiety scales, total amount of midazolam administered and recovery time were recorded and compared. Results: There were a statistically significant reduction in the amount of midazolam required to achieve optimal sedation (P<0.01), an overall significant reduction in recovery time (P<0.01), a significant reduction in anxiety scales (P<0.05), and a significant improvement in cooperation (P<0.05) and peripheral oxygen saturation (P<0.05) when a combined technique of inhalational $N_2O/O_2$ and midazolam was used. Conclusions: For implant surgery, this combining sedation technique could be safe and reliable, demonstrating reduction of total dose of midazolam and level of patient's anxiety and improvement in patient's recovery and cooperation.

Background and Objectives: Knowing the ototoxic potential of the agents used in medical treatments is important for the protection of hearing. Although we have knowledge regarding some effects of dexmedetomidine, which is an anesthetic-sparing drug, its influence over the hearing system has never been studied and is obscure yet. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine application during sevoflurane anesthesia on otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Subjects and Methods: This prospective randomized study was performed on 60 patients (34 male, 26 female, mean age: 30.6±9.2 years) who were scheduled for an elective surgery under general anesthesia and the patients were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups. They received dexmedetomidine (Group D) or Saline (Group S) infusion during a standardized Sevoflurane anesthesia. Transient and distortion product OAEs were measured preoperatively and postoperatively (24th hour). OAE results were compared within and between groups. Results: In group D postoperative OAEs were lower than preoperative OAEs and postoperative levels of group S, especially at low frequencies (p<0.05). Conclusions: Dexmedetomidine infusion affects the micromechanical function of cochlea especially in the low-frequency region. Dexmedetomidine should be carefully used during general anesthesia to avoid its probable harmful effects on cochlear micromechanics.

Malignant hyperthermia is a catastrophic, hypermetabolic syndrome that arises in susceptible individuals when they are exposed to certain inhalational anesthetics or muscle relaxants. It is characterized by hyperthermia, tachycardia, acidosis, and muscle rigidity. It has been noted that the majority of cases of malignant hyperthermia are fatal unless early diagnosis and treatment are performed. We experienced a 24 year old male Malignant hyperthermia presented for orthognathic surgery under $O_2-N_2O$-sevoflurane anesthesia without succinylcholine. Two half hours after induction, tachycardia developed and was followed by unstable blood pressure and hyperpyrexia. Anesthesia was terminated and vigorous emergency treatment was attempted. The patient was treated by the intravenous administration of dantrolene sodium. The diagnosis of an acute malignant hyperthermia reaction by clinical criteria can be difficult because of the nonspecific nature and variable incidence of many of the clinical signs and laboratory findings. So the malignant hyperthermia clinical grading scale is recommended for use as an aid to the objective definition of this disease. This clinical grading system provides a new and comprehensive clinical case definition for the malignant hyperthermia syndrome. We recently encountered a case of delayed malignant hyperthermia during sevoflurane anesthesia that was successfully treated by the intravenous administration of dantrolene sodium. In conclusion, exposure to sevoflurane should be avoided in patients thought to be susceprible to malignant hyperthermia.

Objective : Isoflurane, a widely used common inhalational anesthetic agent, can induce brain toxicity. The challenge lies in protecting neurologically compromised patients from neurotoxic anesthetics. Choline alfoscerate (L-α-Glycerophosphorylcholine, α-GPC) is recognized for its neuroprotective properties against oxidative stress and inflammation, but its optimal therapeutic window and indications are still under investigation. This study explores the impact of α-GPC on human astrocytes, the most abundant cells in the brain that protect against oxidative stress, under isoflurane exposure. Methods : This study was designed to examine changes in factors related to isoflurane-induced toxicity following α-GPC administration. Primary human astrocytes were pretreated with varying doses of α-GPC (ranging from 0.1 to 10.0 µM) for 24 hours prior to 2.5% isoflurane exposure. In vitro analysis of cell morphology, water-soluble tetrazolium salt-1 assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, proteome profiler array, and transcriptome sequencing were conducted. Results : A significant morphological damage to human astrocytes was observed in the group that had been pretreated with 10.0 mM of α-GPC and exposed to 2.5% isoflurane. A decrease in cell viability was identified in the group pretreated with 10.0 µM of α-GPC and exposed to 2.5% isoflurane compared to the group exposed only to 2.5% isoflurane. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction revealed that mRNA expression of heme-oxygenase 1 and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, which were reduced by isoflurane, was further suppressed by 10.0 µM α-GPC pretreatment. The proteome profiler array demonstrated that α-GPC pretreatment influenced a variety of factors associated with apoptosis induced by oxidative stress. Additionally, transcriptome sequencing identified pathways significantly related to changes in isoflurane-induced toxicity caused by α-GPC pretreatment. Conclusion : The findings suggest that α-GPC pretreatment could potentially enhance the vulnerability of primary human astrocytes to isoflurane-induced toxicity by diminishing the expression of antioxidant factors, potentially leading to amplified cell damage.
