Objective : Propofol and volatile anesthesia have been associated with metabolic acidosis induced by increased lactate. This study was designed to evaluate changes in pH, base excess (BE), and lactate in response to different anesthetic agents and to characterize propofol infusion-associated lactic acidosis. Methods : The medical records of patients undergoing neurosurgical anesthesia between January 2005 and September 2012 were examined. Patients were divided into 2 groups : those who received propofol (total intravenous anesthesia, TIVA) and those who received sevoflurane (balanced inhalation anesthesia, BIA) anesthesia. Propensity analysis was performed (1 : 1 match, n=47), and the characteristics of the patients who developed severe acidosis were recorded. Results : In the matched TIVA and BIA groups, the incidence of metabolic acidosis (11% vs. 13%, p=1) and base excess (p>0.05) were similar. All patients in the TIVA group who developed severe acidosis did so within 4 hours of the initiation of propofol infusion, and these patients improved when propofol was discontinued. Conclusions : The incidence of metabolic acidosis was similar during neurosurgical anesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane. In addition, severe acidosis associated with propofol infusion appears to be reversible when propofol is discontinued.

Autonomic nervous system of the anesthetized patients can be influenced by the many kinds of stimulations such as intubation, surgical incision and so on. The changes of the heart rates and blood pressures are surrogates of responses of the autonomic system to the external stimulations. Recently, the power spectral analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) made it easy to know the fractions and changes of sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic systems. In this study, the changes of pulse transit time, one of the response of vessels to stimulations, was investigated in relation to the HRV. Ten patients were examined and average age is 22.5 $\pm$ 11.04, average weight is 63 $\pm$ 14.4 kg. The patients were anesthetized only by sevoflurane inhalation. Pulse transit time is determined by calculating the difference of the time between the R peak of ECG and the characteristic point of the plethysmography. Power spectral density (PSD) of the HRV was achieved in the frequency of 0.04-0.15 (LF) and 0.15-0.4 (HF). Compared to preanesthetic period the values of LF and LF/HF ratio of HRV were decreased (p<0.05). HF and PTT was increased in anesthetic state with sevoflurane. Otherwise, after intubation, the HF was decreased and LF, LF/HF ratio and PTT were increased. PSD of the HRV is well-known for the index of the autonomic nervous activity. Not only HRV but PTT analysis also is a useful index reflecting the autonomic responses to various stimulations. And this analysis is useful in bed side monitoring because the calculating method is simple and it takes shorter processing time compared to the HRV analysis.

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.

For dental treatment of children with severe dental phobia, sedation or general anesthesia is usually selected for enhancement of cooperation. But in the case of mouth opening limitation due to temporomandibular disorders, general anesthesia administration is a challenge for anesthesiologist. Because airway management failure was concerned, awake fibroscopic intubation is selected first. But, skillful fibroscopic intubation is not easy in case of uncooprative children patients. In this report, we present two cases of pediatric patients with mouth opening limitation. In the first case, the patient was 52 months old and the maximum opening distance was 1.2 cm, and in the second case the patient was 38 months old and the maximum opening distance was 1.5 cm. Both patients showed severe dental phobia. After sevoflurane inhalation without any intravenous drug, we successfully performed intubation using a fibroscope.

This study was designed to evaluate basic data about dental treatment under general anesthesia in pediatric dentistry of Wonju Severance Christian Hospital. Sex, Age, location, preoperative physical status, intubation methods, inhalation agents, duration of anesthesia and treatment, performed treatment and postoperative follow-up period and frequency were collected based on electronic medical records of 239 patients who visited pediatric dentistry at Wonju Severance Christian Hospital from March 2011 to February 2017. There were the most patients between the ages of 5 - 9, and there was no significant difference between male and female. The largest number of patients visited the hospital from Wonju, where the hospital was located. Most of preoperative status was ASA Class I. Orotracheal intubation was used in 169 of patients (70.7%). As an anesthesia maintenance agent, drug containing sevoflurane was used in 153 of patients (64.0%). In performed treatment, dental restoration, sealant and stainless steel crowns were performed 3.8, 1.8 and 1.1 times per person. 129 patients (54.0%) attended follow-up appointments under 6 months and those of the number of appointments were 1 - 4 times in average. General anesthesia as a behavior guidance in pediatric dentistry is increasing. Clinical guidelines for pediatric patients under general anesthesia are required through follow-up studies.

Background: Dental disabilities mean the poor cooperation for dental treatment because of patient's inherent disability, severe fear and anxiety, and communication problem. Sedation and general anesthesia are usually used for behavioral control in dentally disabled patients. In particular, sedation (conscious and deep) can help them to tolerate the proper dental treatment effectively and safely. Methods: From March 2002 to September 2007, total 35 sedation were carried out in 33 patients (male : female = 20 : 13) with dental disabilities at Seoul National University Dental Hospital and Hanyang University Medical Center. Patients' dental charts and sedation records were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Tooth extraction (19 cases) was the most common dental treatment performed under intravenous sedation (30 cases). Occasionally, inhalation sedation using Sevoflurane 1-2% was adapted (5 cases). Deep sedation (28 cases) was carried out using midazolam 2-3 mg bolus injection and propofol infusion via TCI (4.2 ${\pm}$ 0.9 mg/kg/h), and conscious sedation (7 cases) was carried out using midazolam bolus onlywithout severe complications. The duration of dental treatment was 25.5 ${\pm}$ 12.3 min and that of sedation was 43.2 ${\pm}$ 9.7 min. Conclusion: Sedation for dentally disabledpatients should be selected for effective behavioral control in conjunction with general anesthesia, considering the duration and pain-evoking potentials of dental treatment, the type and severity of patients' disabilities, and the experience of dental anesthesiologists altogether.
