Background: The most important reason for pre-operative administration of medication is to reduce anxiety. Alleviation of fear and anxiety about surgery enables patients to remain comfortable during treatment. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a fast-acting drug that is used as a premedication in different circumstances because it has sedative and anti-anxiolytic effects, and stable hemodynamics. It also has the advantage of intranasal administration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and hemodynamic stability of DEX by retrospectively analyzing cases in which DEX was administered nasally as a premedication. Methods: Ten patients treated at Dankook University Dental Hospital, recruited between February and April 2015, received intranasal delivery of $2{\mu}g/kg$ DEX, 30 minutes prior to general anesthesia. Anesthesia records of anxiety, blood pressure, respiration, pulse, estimated arterial oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), and partial pressure, or maximum concentration, of carbon dioxide ($ETCO_2$) were analyzed. Results: Administration of DEX prior to a general anesthetic effectively relieved anxiety. Respiratory depression, the most severe adverse effect of other sedatives, was not observed. Hemodynamic stability under general anesthesia was maintained during treatment and a reduction in emergence delirium was observed upon completion of treatment. Conclusions: Premedication administration of DEX is safe for pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia.

A 1.86 kg, 3-year-old, female, Maltese was presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University after being hit by a car. The patient was diagnosed with urinary bladder rupture, diaphragmatic hernia and fracture of ilium, tibia and fibula. Repair surgery was performed after stabilizing treatment. During the surgery, hypoxia was identified and it worsened after positive pressure ventilation (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood ($PaO_2$): 52 mmHg, pulse oximetry ($SpO_2$): 87%, arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$): 85.8%). In addition to hypoxia, blood pressure decreased to 30 mmHg. Positive pressure ventilation was discontinued because hypoxia and hypotension were aggravated. After suturing the diaphragm, air was withdrawn to form negative pressure within the thorax. However, negative pressure was not attained despite continuous withdrawal of air. A thoracostomy tube was placed because tension pneumothorax was strongly suspected. The patient recovered through close monitoring with the tube for 3 days. Due to limitation of evaluation of the lung, predicting occurrence of tension pneumothorax is difficult in patient of diaphragmatic hernia. Therefore, it is recommended that indicators of tension pneumothorax should be closely monitored during diagnosis and repair procedures of diaphragmatic hernia.

Background: Intravenous sedation is effective for dental patients who are anxious. Recently, target-controlled infusion (TCI) has begun to be used widely to administer and titrate propofol and remifentanil during sedation. To investigate the effect and safety of the pharmacologic agents used in anesthetic department, we performed a retrospective study. Methods: Retrospective study of a series of dental procedure under intravenous sedation performed in department of anesthesiology in Dental Hospital of Dankook University was carried out with propofol or propofol/remifentanil between January and August 2011 and January and April 2012. All patients received oxygen by nasal cannula. The average propofol and remifentanil target was 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 1.0 ng/ml, respectively using a TCI pump. The average peripheral oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, nasal end-tidal $CO_2$ were recorded at 5-10 minute intervals. The age, gender, weight, procedure and sedation time, type of procedure were also recorded. Results: We included 22 cases of 19 adults (group A) and 6 cases of children (group B). In group A, 4 patients received propofol (group A-P), and 15 patients received propofol with remifentanil (group A-PR). In group B, 6 patients received propofol only. The mean age of group A was 41.1 years old and that of group B was 9.5 years old. No clinically significant complications were noted. There were no case of de-saturation <90%. The median respiratory rate was 13.1 (range 6 to 36) in group A and 19 (range 13 to 25) in group B. The median end tidal $CO_2$ was 36.7 mmHg(range 8 mmHg to 56 mmHg) in group A and 41.7 mmHg (range 30 mmHg to 53 mmHg) in group B. Conclusions: Based on our results, dental sedation using propofol/remifentanil in adult and propofol in children with TCI pump seems to appear as a safe and effective procedure while performing dental procedure.

Due to population aging, an increase in the number of patients with chronic illnesses, and an increase in the number of single-person households, monitoring of health status in everyday life without the need for a hospital has become very important. For this reason, researches on various health care devices have been attempted, among which wearable devices are attracting much attention. In this paper, we propose a new ring-type wearable device for next generation healthcare. On the inner side of the ring, a metal electrodes for GSR measurement and an optical sensor for measurement of pulse wave signals of two wavelengths of red and near-infrared light were mounted. In addition, it was equipped with an acceleration sensor, and information about the degree of motion could be obtained. In this paper, it is shown that a health monitoring device can be implemented in the form of a ring, and the measured signals can be used to calculate heart rate, oxygen saturation, sleep time and sleep efficiency. Through the advanced algorithm, it is expected that we can extract various health information, especially sleep related health information by using the ring device, and it is also expected that it can contribute to the implementation of wearable healthcare effectively.

Background: The causes of exertional desaturation in patients with COPD can be multifactorial. We aimed to investigate factors predict exertional desaturation in patients with moderate to severe COPD. Methods: We tested 51 consecutive patients with stable COPD (FEV1/FVC, $40{\pm}13%$ predicted). Patients performed a six minute walk test (6MWT). Pulse oxymetric saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate were recorded. Results: Oxygen desaturation was found in 15 subjects after 6MWT, while 36 subjects were not desaturated. Lung diffusing capacity was significantly lower in desaturation (DS) group ($62{\pm}18%$ predicted) compared with not desaturated (ND) group ($84{\pm}20$, p<0.01). However there was no statistical difference of FEV1/FVC ratio or residual volume between two groups. The pulse rate change was significantly higher in the desaturated compared with the not desaturated group. Six minute walking distance, subjective dyspnea scale, airflow obstruction, and residual volume did not predict exertional oxygen desaturation. Independent factors assessed by multiple logistic regression revealed that a pulse rate increment (odd ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01~1.40; p=0.02), a decrease in baseline PaO2 (OR, 1.105; 95% CI, 1.003~1.218; p=0.04) and a decrease in lung diffusing capacity (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01~1.19; p=0.01) were significantly associated with oxygen desaturation. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that an absolute increment in pulse rate of 16/min gave optimal discrimination between desaturated and not desaturated patients after 6MWT. Conclusion: Pulse rate increment and diffusion capacity can predict exertional oxygen desaturation in stable COPD patients with moderate to severe airflow obstruction.

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical safety and effect with and without additional submucosal midazolam to oral chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine when used for pediatric conscious sedation in a clinical dental environment. Methods: Thirty one cases of pediatric conscious sedations were performed in this study. Selection criteria included good health (ASA I), under 6 years old, 20 kg of body weight, uncooperative behavior and the need for sedation to receive dental treatment including anesthesia and restorative or surgical procedure for at least two teeth. In each visit, patients were randomly assigned into one of two groups; CH group: chloral hydrate (60 mg/kg), hydroxyzine (1 mg/kg), CH-M group: chloral hydrate (60 mg/kg). hydroxyzine (1 mg/kg) and submucoal midazolam (0.1 mg/kg). 50% nitrous oxide-oxygen was maintained during the sedation period Sedations were monitored using a pulse oximeter for estimating pulse rate (PR) and percutaneous oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$). Behavior response rated using Houpt's scale and need of restraint was assessed every 2 minutes through 30 minutes of operative procedure reviewing the videotape recording. Evaluation of overall behavior success was performed using modified overall behavior rate of Houpt's scale. Data was analyzed using t-test. Results: PR and $SpO_2$ for both groups remained within the normal values. The mean scores for sleep and movement of CH-M group were higher than those of CH group (P < 0.05). There were no significant difference in mean score for crying between two groups. The mean scores of overall behavior of CH-M group was higher than those of CH group (P < 0.01). Reinstraint of CH-M group was less required than that of CH group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Oral chloral hydrate (60 mg/kg) and hydroxyzine (1 mg/kg) combined with submucosal injection of midazolam was safer and showed more improved sedation effect than oral chloral hydrate (60 mg/kg) and hydroxyzine (1 mg/kg) without midazolam for sedation of pediatric dental patients.

This study was conducted to compare the anesthetic effects of 2,2,2-tribromoethanol (TBE, $Avertin^{(R)}$) in ICR mice obtained from three different sources. TBE (2.5%) was intraperitoneally injected at three doses: high-dose group (500 mg/kg), intermediate-dose group (250 mg/kg), and low-dose group (125 mg/kg). Anesthesia time, recovery time, end-tidal peak $CO_2$ ($ETCO_2$), mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), body temperature, pH, $PCO_2$, and $PO_2$ of the arterial blood were measured. Stable anesthesia was induced by all doses of TBE and the anesthesia time was maintained exhibited dose dependency. No significant differences in anesthetic duration were found among the three different strains. However, the anesthesia time was longer in female than in male mice, and the duration of anesthesia was significantly longer in female than in male mice in the high-dose group. The recovery time was significantly longer for female than male mice in the intermediate- and high-dose groups. In the ICR strains tested, there were no significant differences in the mean arterial blood pressure, $SPO_2$, arterial blood $PCO_2$, and $PO_2$, which decreased after TBE anesthesia, or in heart rate and $ETCO_2$, which increased after TBE anesthesia. In addition, body temperature, blood biochemical markers, and histopathological changes of the liver, kidney, and lung were not significantly changed by TBE anesthesia. These results suggested that ICR mice from different sources exhibited similar overall responses to a single exposure to TBE anesthesia. In conclusion, TBE is a useful drug that can induce similar anesthetic effects in three different strains of ICR mice.

본 연구의 목적은 소아 환자의 치과 진료를 위한 진정요법 시 chloral hydrate와 hydroxyzine의 경구 투여와 midazolam과 meperidine의 경구 투여간의 임상적인 진정효과 및 합병증 발생 여부를 비교하는 것이다. 삼성서울병원 소아치과를 내원한 환아 중 ASA I 또는 II에 해당하는 4세 미만의 아동 15명을 대상으로 하여 한 달여 간격으로 두 차례에 걸친 진정요법을 시행하였다. 2회의 진정요법 중 1회는 chloral hydrate (60mg/kg)/hydroxyzine(25mg)을 경구 투여하고 나머지 1회는 midazolam(1mg/kg)/meperidine(1mg/kg)을 경구 투여하였으며 투여 순서는 무작위로 정하였다. 두 차례 모두 $N_2O-O_2$ 흡입진정을 병용하였다. 각 치료과정에 따른 진정효과는 Houpt Scale(수면, 움직임, 울음, 전반적인 행동 지수)로 측정하였고 pulse oximeter를 이용하여 저산소증의 유무를 비교, 평가하고 약물 투여 후 구토의 여부를 함께 평가하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Chloral hydrate와 hydroxyzine을 경구 투여한 군이 midazolam과 meperidine을 경구 투여한 군보다 전반적인 행동 지수에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 우수한 결과를 보였으며 어느 군에서도 저산소증은 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 chloral hydrate와 hydroxyzine의 경구 투여가 midazolam과 meperidine의 경구 투여보다 우수한 진정효과를 보이는 것으로 판단된다.
