Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of sevoflurane versus ketamine in the anesthesia of child short period surgery. Methods Such databases as EMbase, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CBMdisc, Ongoing Controlled Trial and Conference Articles were searched from their establishment to April 2011 to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and the quasi-RCTs. The quality of those studies meeting the inclusive criteria was assessed, the data were extracted and the meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.1.1 software. Results Ten studies involving 600 participants were included. Seven studies showed that the intraoperative heart rate of the sevoflurane group was lower than that of the ketamine group (MD= –11.85, 95%CI –16.47 to –7.23, Plt;0.000 01). Nine studies showed that the revival time of the sevoflurane group was shorter than that of the ketamine group (MD= –29.05, 95%CI –37.98 to –20.12, Plt;0.000 01). Three studies showed that the anesthesia induction time of the sevoflurane group was shorter than that of the ketamine group (MD= –208.45, 95%CI –359.22 to –57.68, P=0.007). Six studies showed that the influence on mean arterial pressure (MAP) had no significante difference (MD= –4.86, 95%CI –10.02 to 0.29, P=0.06). Meanwhile, seven studies showed that the adverse events of the sevoflurane group were fewer than those of the ketamine group (Peto OR=0.29, 95%CI 0.20 to 0.40, Plt;0.000 01). Conclusion The results of this system review show that sevoflurane is more effective than ketamine with fewer adverse reactions, and it provides a new choice for clinical anesthesia for child short period surgery. However, ketamine is still the main drug in clinical anesthesia for the child short period surgery at present, so high quality studies are needed for further clinical researches.
Objective To study the differences of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)-related indexes between Uyghur and Han, and to provide evidence for the development of individualized treatment measures for different ethnic groups. Methods 224 Han OSAHS patients were collected from Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, and 178 Uygur OSAHS patients were collected from The First People’s Hospital of Kashi between January 2018 and December 2019. The collected data information included age, sex, nationality, body mass index (BMI), apnea hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2), OSAHS stage, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc). After using propensity matching scores to reduce confounding factors, differences in above indicators between different nationalities were compared. Results The mean values of MCHC, TC and HDL in Uygur OSAHS patients were lower than those in Han patients at the same stage, and the mean values of LSaO2 and LDL in mild and severe Uygur OSAHS patients were lower than those in Han patients at the same stage, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in AHI, TG, FBG or HbAlc between Uygur and Han patients with OSAHS. Conclusion There are significant differences in LSaO2, LDL, MCHC, TC and HDL between Uygur and Han Chinese patients with OSAHS.
