Objective To explore the effect of epidural analgesia for labor on maternal temperature and the newborns. Methods This randomized trial was performed in West China Second Hospital between December 2015 and July 2016. Fifty puerperants were randomly divided into epidural analgesia (EA) group (natural labor under EA, n=25) or the control group (natural labor using Ramaze breathing method, n=25). Maternal tympanic temperature was recorded once per hour after treating with painless labor or blank control. The serum interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) level were measured from the blood of the umbilical cord after the delivery. Apgar scores of the newborns were also recorded. Results There was a significant difference in the temperature between EA and control group one hour after the treatment of painless labor [ (36.9±0.7) and (36.4±0.5)℃]. The level of serum IL-1β and HSP70 were significantly higher in EA group [IL-1β: (0.308±0.036) ng/mL; HSP70: 1.175±0.196] than those in the control group [IL-1β: (0.244±0.031) ng/mL; HSP70: 0.935±0.308] (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the neonatal Apgar score (P>0.05). Conclusions The increase of maternal temperature is greater in the EA labor puerperants compared with that in the controls, which may be related to the increase of IL-1β and HSP70. No adverse effect of labor analgesia on new borns is found
Objective To investigate change of bispectral index(BIS) and hemodynamic index during induction and orotracheal intubation of sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods This study was a prospective before-after study in the same patients. A total of 30 ASA physical status I and II adult patients without airway abnormalities were enrolled to receive inhalation induction of anesthesia with 8% sevoflurane. Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR) and BIS were recorded before anesthesia(T1),when patients loss of consciousness(T2), before intubation (T3),at 1 min(T4) and 3 min(T5) after intubation. Results BIS at T1-T5 were 96.8±1.7,70.4±8.8,39.2±8.4,43.6±12.9 and 41.6±9.3 respectively, the measurements at T2-T5 were all markedly lower than at T1(Plt;0.05). HR at T3-T5 were all markedly higher than at T1(Plt;0.05). MAP at T2 and T3 were markedly lower than at T1, but at T4 was higher than at T1(Plt;0.05), and recovered to the level at T1 at T5(Pgt;0.05).BIS,HR and MAP at T4 were all significantly higher than T3(Plt;0.05). Conclusion Anesthesia induction with sevoflurane and small dose of succinylchoiline we used can provide adequate depth of general anesthesia,but can not prevent cardiovascular adverse reactions to intubation.
Objective To investigate the preventive effect of rapid preoxygenation technique on hypoxia caused by respiratory depression during outpatient obstetrics-gynecology operations. Methods According to a computer-generated random sequence, a total of 120 ASA I-II patients undergoing outpatient obstetrics-gynecology operations were randomly allocated into the trial group or the control group, 60 in each group. Patients in the control group received preoxygenation with tidal volume breathing. Patients in the trial group received preoxygenation with eight deep breaths (DB) in 1 min before anesthesia. All patients were induced with midazolam 1 mg, fentanyl 1μg /kg and propofol 2 mg/kg, and were maintained with propofol when needed. The following parameters were observed, including the incidences of respiratory depression and apnea, the onset time of anesthesia, the total doses of propofol as well as the changes in PetCO2 and SpO2. Results No significant differences were observed in demographic characteristics, the onset time of anesthesia, the total doses of propofol, and the incidences of respiratory depression and apnea between the two groups (P gt;0.05). However, the SpO2 in the control group was decreased significantly with a higher incidence of hypoxia (Plt;0.05). Conclusions Rapid preoxygenation technique may increase the oxygen reserves and improve the tolerance to hypoxia. It is effective in avoiding hypoxia caused by respiratory depression and apnea during outpatient obstetrics-gynecology operations.
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of local versus systemic application of opioids for labor analgesia. Methods We searched PubMed (1966 to January 2008), EMBASE (1980 to January 2008), The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2008), CBM (1978 to January 2008), CNKI (1979 to January 2008) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving local versus systemic application of opioids for labor analgesia. Quality assessment and data extraction were conducted by two reviewers independently. Meta-analyses were conducted with The Cochrane Collaboration’s RevMan 4.2.10 software. Results A total of 12 trials involving 5909 participants met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses showed that local application of opioids was superior to systemic application in terms of maternal satisfaction with pain relief during labor (RR 1.63, 95% CI 1.27 to 2.09). No significant difference was found between the two groups in the incidence of low neonatal Apgar score at 5 minutes (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.40 to 1.01). Conclusion Local application of opioids for labor analgesia appears to be more effective than systematic use in reducing pain during labor. But as for safety concerns, maternal and neonatal adverse effects are observed in both groups. Thus, more high-quality and large-scale RCTs are needed.
Objective To evaluate the analgesic effect of intra-articular ropivacaine with lidocaine. Methods A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Ninety patients receiving selective knee arthroscopy were randomized into three groups of 30 patients. At the end of the operation, before the release of the tourniquet, an intra-articular injection was administered to each patient through arthroscope, in accordance with their random allocation: 0.9% normal saline (normal saline group); 100 mg ropivacaine (ropivacaine alone group) and 100 mg ropivacaine and 100 mg 2% lidocaine (ropivacaine with lidocaine group). Pain intensity was assessed after the operation using the 100-mm visual-analog scale (VAS), and the amount of supplemental analgesics used within the following 24 hours were recorded. Results The VAS scores of 2 hours postoperatively at rest, and 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours postoperatively at motion, were significantly higher in the normal saline group than in ropivacaine alone group (Plt;0.05). The VAS scores 0.5, 1 and 2 hours postoperatively at rest, and at the awaking moment, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours postoperatively at motion, were significantly higher in the normal saline group than in ropivacaine with lidocaine group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Intra-articular ropivacaine can reduce a patient’s pain after operation. The combination of lidocaine with intra-articular ropivacaine can reduce the patient’s pain severity immediately after the operation and achieve an early analgesic effect.

Objective To investigate the curve correlation between ventilation pressure and tidal volume in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction. Methods Between January and August 2015, 120 patients, American Society of Anesthesiology Ⅰ-Ⅱ, undergoing selective gynecological surgery were randomly divided into four groups: groups P5, P10, P15 and P20, with 30 patients in each group. Mask ventilation pressure for the four groups were respectively 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa). Patients were ventilated by preset ventilation pressure and frequency based on different groups after loss of consciousness. Mean ventilation volume (mean value of three tidal volumes) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PetCO2) were recorded for analysis. Results There was no significant difference among the four groups in patient’s general condition (P>0.05). The tidal volume of assisted mechanical ventilation increased with ventilation pressure degrees, and the differences among the four groups were significant (P<0.05). After curve regression analysis, tidal volume and ventilation pressure showed a positive linear correlation when ventilation pressure was set at 5-20 cm H2O, and the correlation equation was: tidal volume = 33.612×ventilation pressure-53.155. PetCO2 in P5 group was lower than those in the other three groups (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences among groups P10, P15 and P20 (P>0.05). Conclusion When ventilation pressure is set at 5-20 cm H2O in assisted mechanical ventilation with facemask during anesthesia induction, tidal volume and ventilation pressure show a positive linear correlation.
