개에서 많은 주사용 마취제가 있고 그 부작용을 줄이기 위해 다양한 약물들을 혼합하여 사용한다. 개에서 medetomidine-midazolam-ketamine (MMK) 합제에 대한 마취효과를 알아보고, 이 합제에 대한 atipamezole과 yohimbine의 길항효과를 비교하였다. 18마리 수컷 비글견을 사용하였고, 모든 개에서 medetomidine (0.04 mg/kg), midazolam (0.2 mg/kg) 및 ketamine (5 mg/kg)을 근육주사하고, 20분 후 atipamezole (0.24 mg/kg, MMKA), yohimbine (0.2 mg/kg, MMKY) 또는 생리식염수(0.1 ml/kg, MMK)를 정맥주사하였다. 유도 및 회복시간, 진정 및 진통점수, 심박수, 혈압, 직장온도, 호흡수, 동맥혈액가스를 측정하였다. 평균마취, 흉와, 기립 및 보행시간은 MMKA와 MMKY군에서 MMK군보다 유의성있게 짧았다. 그러나 MMKA군과 MMKY군 간의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 모든 군에서 MMK 투여는 개에서 만족스런 진정 및 진통을 일으켰다. 그러나 atipamezole이나 yohimbine 투여 후 자세점수 및 유해자극반응은 MMK군에 비해 MMKA나 MMKY군에서 유의성있게 감소하였다. 본 실험 결과 MMK는 양호한 진정 및 마취효과를 나타냈고, atipamezole과 yohimbine은 개에서 MMK 마취를 길항하는 데 안전하고 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

마취는 의식의 차단 역할을 하는 주 마취제와 감각, 운동, 반사의 차단을 하는 부 마취제인 근이완제로 구분된다. 깊은 의식의 차단만으로는 심한 자극에 대한 반응을 막을 수 없고, 다량의 진통제만으로는 무의식을 보장할 수 없다. 그러므로 마취는 동시에 두 가지를 모두 만족시켜야 한다. 근 이완제는 흡입 또는 정맥마취제의 투여 용량을 감소시키면서 기관지내 삽입관, 수술 시야 및 수술적 환경(operating conditions)을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 수술 중 기계적 조절 환기(controlled mechanical ventilation) 시 호흡 관리를 위하여 매우 중요하다. 이러한 근이완제는 투여 용량이 과다하면 수술 중 신경 검사가 안 되는 영향을 줄 수 있고, 투여 용량이 부족하게 되면 환자가 수술 중 움직일 수 있어서 근 이완 마취 심도와 수술 중 감시 검사는 밀접한 관계가 있다. 근 이완제를 많이 사용하면, 수술 중 신경생리학적 검사가 원활하게 되지 않는 단점과 수술 이후에 완전히 근 이완효과를 제거하기 어렵다는 단점도 갖고 있다. 수술 중 감시 검사를 하는 수술에서 마취과에서는 어떠한 기준으로 근 이완제를 투여하며 유지하는지에 대하여 국내뿐만 아니라 전 세계적인 동향을 살펴 봄으로써 보다 원활한 수술 중 신경 검사가 되길 바란다.

The purpose of this study was to find anatomical variation of each small breed dog's dentition for designing more effective dental chews. Small breed dogs were volunteered for dental impressions with dental stone and alginate under tiletamine-zolazepam, tramadol, and medetomidine intravenous anesthesia. Twenty-two criteria were measured to compare dental impressions. Twenty-five dogs (9 Malteses, 8 Miniature Poodles, and 8 Shih-Tzus) were recruited. Statistically, Shih-Tzus had smaller teeth and shorter interdental spaces than those of Maltese and Miniature Poodles. Grossly, the distance between upper teeth and lower teeth was wider in Shih-Tzus. Shih-Tzu had different dental anatomy in comparative to Miniature Poodle and Maltese. It was recommended to design the dental chew considering these differences.

Changes in the cardiovascular and bispectral index score were evaluated in dogs subjected to constant rate infusion (CRI) with alfaxalone. Fifteen dogs were assigned to three groups of 5. Groups and doses of alfaxalone were as follows: group 1, 3 mg/kg for induction and 6 mg/kg/h for CRI; group 2, 3 mg/kg for induction and 8 mg/kg/h for CRI; and group 3, 3 mg/kg for induction and 10 mg/kg/h for CRI. CRI was maintained for 1 h. Respiratory rates and blood pressures showed minimal changes; however, mild tachycardia and mild hypoxemia occurred, especially in group 3. There were some disparities between bispectral index score, electromyography and pedal withdrawal reflex test when measuring anesthetic depth. Additional premedications and/or analgesic agents would be helpful to avoid adverse effects of alfaxalone and provide improved cardiopulmonary functions.

We report a case of a morbidly obese man with an aortic aneurysm, in whom dental surgery was performed before elective cardiac surgery. His aortic aneurysm required emergency surgery. However, because of his morbid obesity, elective cardiac surgery was planned. Considering the high risk of infective endocarditis, dental surgery was required. Our patient was at a high risk of aortic rupture caused by hypertension and breathing difficulty in the supine position. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is an anti-anxiety, sedative, and analgesic medicine that can stabilize circulatory dynamics and minimize blood pressure fluctuations. We administered intravenous DEX for sedation of the patient in Fowler's position. In conclusion, our understanding of the risk factors of DEX enabled us to perform safe invasive oral treatment.

Dental treatment under sedation requires various sedation depths depending on the invasiveness of the procedure and patient drug sensitivity. Inappropriate sedation depth may cause patient discomfort or endangerment. For these reasons, patient-controlled sedation (PCS) pumps are commonly used. Patients are able to control the sedation depths themselves by pushing the demand button after the practitioner sets up the bolus dose and lock-out time. Dexmedetomidine is an ${\alpha}$-2 adrenoreceptor agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties. It has been widely used for sedation for its minimal respiratory depression; however, there are few studies on PCS using dexmedetomidine. This study assessed the applicability of dexmedetomidine to PCS.

Sedation allows patients to maintain their airway independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal command while maintaining a minimum depressed level of consciousness. Drugs commonly used for sedation of pediatric dental patients include a combination of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine, and nitrous oxide-oxygen. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine and currently one of the most commonly used intravenous sedative agents. It can be easily titrated to provide a wide range of sedation, from conscious sedation to deep sedation, and exhibits a wide safety margin without severe respiratory and circulatory depression. At an appropriate dose, it also decreases patient anxiety and induces amnesia. We found that the submucosal administration of midazolam combined with chloral hydrate provided increased sedative effects and decreased the postoperative vomiting response compared with conventional chloral hydrate administration, with no significant difference in physiological responses. The depth of sedation can be titrated using this technique.

Dental treatment under general anesthesia is considered for behavioral control of disabled patients who have severe anxiety or involuntary movement. However, in case of simple treatment, inhalation or intravenous sedation, which has earlier onset and recovery, is preferred. Conventionally, nitric oxide is used for inhalation sedation, nowadays sevoflurane can also be used due to easily titratable for controllable effect and less complications. In this case report, two patients with mental retardation required simple dental treatment. Deep sedation with inhaled sevoflurane were successfully employed and patients were discharged without any complications.

A male patient weighing 2.5 kg was admitted for respiratory difficulty, and a large ventricular septal defect (VSD) was diagnosed. During care, sudden right leg swelling with a femur shaft fracture occurred. The patient's father had a history of recurrent lower extremity fractures; thus, osteogenesis imperfecta was considered. The patient's respiratory difficulty became aggravated, and VSD repair in the neonatal period was therefore performed with gentle sternal traction and great vessel manipulation under total intravenous anesthesia to prevent malignant hyperthermia. The patient was discharged without notable problems, except minor wound dehiscence. Outpatient genetic testing revealed that the patient had a COL1A1/COL1A2 mutation.

Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is commonly used in the operating room and intensive care unit to monitor central venous pressure and secure an intravenous route to deliver medications and nutritional support that cannot be safely infused into peripheral veins. However, CVC insertion may be associated with serious complications such as arterial puncture, hematoma, pneumothorax, hemothorax, catheter infections, and thrombosis. Several methods have been recommended to prevent these complications. Here we report a case of massive hemothorax caused by attempts of CVC insertion into the internal jugular vein and subclavian vein in a patient with multiple trauma. CVC placement should be performed or supervised by an experienced physician to decrease the incidence of CVC-related complications. CVC insertion under ultrasound guidance is recommended.
