This study was performed to compare propofol, thiopental, etomidate and diazepam plus ketamin as induction agents for the isoflurane anesthesia in dogs. Experimental groups were divided into low groups (thiopental group: thiopental 15 mg/kg IV, propofol group: propofol mg/kg IV, etomidate group: etomidate 1.5 mg/kg IV, DZP+KET group: diazepam 0.5 mg/kg + ketamine 5 mg/kg, IV) and each group was consisted of 4 dogs. Cardiorespiratory changes (heart rate, $SpO_2$, respiratory rate, End-tidal $CO_2$ and body temperature), blood serum chemistry values (alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransforase, and total protein), and recovery and walking time were measured. The end tidal carbon dioxide level was significantly increased in the thiopental group (P<0.05). Heart rate and respiratory rate higher in the DZP+KET groups. There was hypothermia in all groups and significant decrease in body temperature was showed in thiopental group (p<0.05). Mean arousal time and mean walking time were significantly longer in thiopental group (P<0.05). Cardiovascular stimulating effects were minimal in etomidate group. Etomidate provides uneventful and rapid recovery.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of anesthetics on waveform of SEPs and to authorize possible anesthetic protocol for measurement of the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs). Thirteen anesthetic methods were used. The SEPs were recorded on two channels (between the 5th and 6th lumbar vertebra as the channel 1 and between the 11th and 12th thoracic vertebra as the channel 2) following stimulation of posterior tibial nerve. ID analyze SEPs wave, latency and conduction velocity were measured. Among thirteen anesthetic methods, standard SEPs waveforms were observed in dogs anesthetized with following six methods: Acepromazine + Thiepfntal Na + Isoflurane, Acepronazine + Propofol + Isoflurane, Diazepam + Xylazine, Xylazine + Ketamine, Acepromazine + Propofol infusion and Propofol infusion. Above six methods could be used with sufficient anesthetic depth. The differences of latency and conduction velocity among six groups were minimal compared to general waveform of SEPs. These results indicate that the six anesthetic methods can be used for recording SEPs in the dog. In particular, Diazepam + Xylazine and XylaBine + Ketamine as injectable anesthesia are considered more convenient than other four methods in veterinary medicine.

We studied the effects of adding a single bolus(500 mg) of sodium thiopental to a continuous infusion of low-dose fentanyl on plasma beta-endorphin immunoreactivity(iBE) responses to cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) in 28 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting or valve procedures. Thiopental was injected just prior to the initiation of CPB. The iBE levels and the hemodynamic indices such, as mean arterial pressure, cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance were measured before CPB, at 30 min and again at 60 min after the initiation of the bypass. The results were as follows. After the initiation of CPB, iBE levels increased at 30 min and 60 min(P=0.006, P=0.004 respectively) in the control group, but not in the thiopental group. There were significant differences in the changes of iBE levels between the groups(F=8.7, G-G=0.002, P=0.001). The hemodynamic indices were similar in both groups. In conclusion, pretreatment with thiopental just before the initiation of CPB prevents the stress-induced beta-endorphin response to CPB.

A 6-month-old intact male Jindo dog was underwent surgery for hip fracture caused by hit by a car. Routine laboratory tests performed prior to surgery found no significant abnormalities, which might increase risks associated with general anesthesia. The dog was premedicated with atropine, induced general anesthesia with thiopental sodium and maintained with isoflurane. Forty minutes after surgery, the dog was suddenly bradycardic. Atropine (18 ug/kg) was slowly infused intravenously to normalize heart rate. However, paradoxically the dog showed slower heart rate with intermittent atrioventricular block ($2^{nd}$ degree type I) after atropine infusion. The dog's rhythm was returned to normal rate 7 minutes after ephedrine was infused. This is a rare case of paradoxical atrioventricular block induced by high dose of atropine in a dog.

Patients in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic renal failure present a number of challenges to the anesthesiologist. They may be chronically iii and debilitated and have the potential for multiorgan dysfunction. A 65-year-old male patient with ESRD was scheduled for oral cancer surgery under general anesthesia. He was in regular hemodialysis three times a week and secondary hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy was accompanied. He also had chronic metabolic acidosis and hyperkalemia. The day after hemodialysis, general anesthesia was carried out. Uneventful anesthetic induction using thiopental and vecuronium and nasotracheal intubation were carried out. General anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane for 9 hours. During the anesthesia, he did not have any problem but persistently increasing serum potassium level. After anesthetic emergence, he was transferred to intensive care unit for mechanical ventilation. So we report this successful case of anesthetic management in a patient with ESRD for oral cancer surgery, which massive bleeding and long anesthetic time were inevitable in, from the preoperative preparation to anesthetic emergence.

연구배경: 장애인의 치과치료는 일반인의 치과치료와는 달리 많은 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 이러한 장애인 환자의 치과치료를 위하여 서울대학교 치과병원에서는 치과마취과를 중심으로 임상 각과가 협진하여 외래마취 기반 하에 1999년부터 장애인 진료실을 운영하고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 서울대학교 치과병원 장애인 진료실의 치료방법을 소개하고 그 동안 치료받은 장애인 환자들의 자료를 바탕으로 마취과적인 특징을 분석하였다. 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2002년 5월까지 치료받은 총 54명의 장애인 환자들의 치료기록지와 마취, 그리고 회복실 기록지를 검토하였다. 환자의 성별, 나이, 전신질환, 수술 전 시행된 검사, 치료에 참여한 협진과, 마취 유도제와 유지제, 총 마취시간과 회복실 체류시간, 그리고 회복실에서 관찰된 합병증을 조사하였다. 결과: 총 54명의 환자들을 대상으로 58건 치과치료가 시행되었다. 한 건의 의식진정 법을 제외하고는 모두 전신마취 하에서 치과치료가 시행되었다. 마취유도제는 thiopental sodium, 근이완제는 vecuronium과 succinylcholine가 가장 많이 사용되었으며 마취 유지를 위해서는 enflurane과 isoflurane의 흡입마취제를 이용하거나 TCI를 이용한 propofol 지속정주를 이용하였다. 총 마취지속시간은 $160.2{\pm}55.5$분이었으며 회복실에서의 체류시간은 $132.8{\pm}50.1$분, 그리고 완전한 회복을 확인하기 위해 병동에 단기 입원시킨 소아환자에서는 $58.7{\pm}16.8$분이었다. 회복실에서 심각한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 지속적인 감시를 위하여 4명의 환자가 입원을 권유받았으나 특별한 합병증 없이 다음 날 퇴원하였다. 결론: 서울대학교 치과병원 장애인 진료실은 외래마취에 대한 기존의 연구들보다 긴 마취시간과 회복실 체류시간을 보였다. 그러나 별다른 합병증 없이 일회 방문으로 장애인 환자들에게 필요한 치과치료를 모두 제공할 수 있었다.
