    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Ketamine and midazolam, applied as intravenous medication for conscious sedation in day-case maxillo-facial surgery, has been proven to be superior to pentazocine and midazolam concerning cardiovascular parameters and respiratory depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low-dose ketamine/midazolam on anxiety, analgesia, amnesia and subjective feelings. Methods. 140 out-patients (ASA I) were randomly divided into four groups. The double-blind study was prospective. Control group: Local anaesthesia (LA), articaine 4% plus epinephrine 1:200000 (n=35); test group P/M: LA, additional pentazocine 0.40 mg/kg bw and midazolam 0.075 mg/kg bw i.v. (n=35); test group K25/M: LA, additionally ketamine 0.25 mg/kg bw and midazolam 0.075 mg/kg bw i.v. (n=35), test group K50/M: LA, additionally ketamine 0.5 mg/kg bw and midazolam 0.075 mg/kg bw i.v. (n=35). LA was injected 3 min after application of the systemic medication in the test groups or application of a placebo (saline 0.9%) in the control group. Three further minutes later, operation was started. For evaluation questionnaires, visual analogue scales (VAS) and the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) were used. For testing retrograde and anterograde amnesia, acoustic sensations were delivered before application of the systemic medication (a Christmas carol) and during operation (the German national anthem). Results. The control group and the test groups were comparable with regard to biological data, duration of operation, applied dosage of local anaesthetics and actual anxiety before operation. The patients in all test groups rated intraoperative anxiety as mild, in contrast to the control group. Nearly no pain sensation during the operation was remembered in all test groups. Retrograde amnesia was not found in any group. Complete anterograde amnesia was observed in all test groups with respect to the intraoperative sensation, but even in the control group 50% of the patients did not remember having heard the national anthem. As subjective feelings negative criteria were mainly reported in the control group, where as in all test groups positive sensations dominated. Dreams were reported mostly after the higher dosage of ketamine, but no patient experienced any unpleasant dreams. The clinical assessment of the different regimes were excellent for test groups P/M and K50/M, modest for the control group and test group K25/M. Postoperatively, patients of test group P/M were remarkably sedated, but no clinically relevant sedation or motor weakness were observed in the other groups. Postoperative pain sensations were rated more intense in all test groups than in the control group. In test groups P/M and K25/M an increasing pain level was recorded during the postoperative period, with the consequence of a higher demand rate for analgesics. Conclusions. Dental surgery can be performed safely with low-dose ketamine/midazolam. Compared to pentazocine/midazolam, the higher dosage of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg bw) showed identical results intraoperatively, but was superior during the postoperative period (vigilance), and thus may represent a suitable dosage. The lower dosage of ketamine resulted in worse operating conditions, but a dosage higher than 0.5 mg/kg bw might lead to unconscious sedation and might increase the frequency of unpleasant dreams.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Ketamin/Midazolam zur Analgosedierung erwies sich in bezug auf Kreislauf und Atmung gegenüber Pentazocin/Midazolam überlegen [23]. Diese Studie sollte klären, ob 0,25 oder 0,5 mg/kg KG Ketamin, 0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam, unter den Aspekten Anxiolyse, Analgesie, Sedierung und Amnesie eine Alternative zu Pentazocin/Midazolam ist. Kontrollgruppe (KG): Lokalanästhesie (LA) mit Articain 4%/Adrenalinzusatz 1:200.000 (n=35); Testgruppe P/M: LA und 0,40 mg/kg KG Pentazocin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35); Testgruppe K25/M: LA und 0,25 mg/kg KG Ketamin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35); Testgruppe K50/M: LA und 0,50 mg/kg KG Ketamin/0,075 mg/kg KG Midazolam i.v. (n=35). Die LA wurde 3 min nach Analgosedierung injiziert. In den Testgruppen empfanden die Patienten intraoperativ nur geringe Angst und minimale Schmerzen. Negative Empfindungen wurden in der KG benannt, nicht in den Testgruppen. Träume (K50/M) hatten einen angenehmen Charakter. Operateur und Prüfer beurteilten Anästhesie, Kooperation und Gesamteindruck sehr gut in P/M und K50/M, schlechter in KG und K25/M. Postoperativ fiel in P/M eine stärkere Sedierung auf. Bei den postoperativen Schmerzen zeigte sich eine steigende Tendenz in den P/M und K25/M (Konsequenz: häufigere Analgetikaanforderungen). Midazolam/Ketamin ist für zahnärztlich-chirurgische Operationen geeignet: P/M und K50/M zeigten intraoperativ identische Ergebnisse, postoperativ sind K25/M und K50/M bezüglich der Vigilanz überlegen. Als ideale Dosierung von Ketamin können 0,5 mg/kg KG angesehen werden – 0,25 mg/kg KG verschlechtert die operativen Bedingungen – höhere Dosen könnten zu unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen führen.

    Notes: Abstract When perfusion pressure is reduced, red blood cell flow in the capillaries of skeletal muscle ceases at a positive pressure difference across the vascular bed, while arterioles dilate and venules are not constricted. This flow cessation (i.e., cessation of red blood cell flow) and luminal diameter changes in capillaries following femoral arterial pressure reduction were investigated in the rabbit tenuissimus muscle in situ (n=42) using intravital video microscopy. Arterial pressure was reduced by occlusion of the aorta distal to the renal arteries. During the experiments, leg and muscle were placed in a sealed box. The muscle was exposed to low PO2 by leading a gas mixture deprived of O2 through the box. Locally at the muscle surface, i.e., under the microscope objective, PO2 was varied by varying the PO2 in the superfusion solution. In all experiments, the remainder of the muscle was kept at low (〈 20 mm Hg) PO2. The incidence of flow cessation was virtually zero at low local (〈 20 mm Hg) PO2 and became almost 100% at local values above 70 mm Hg. Initial equivalent capillary diameters were 3.1–5.8 μm (median 4.0 μm) and did not correlate with local O2 tension. During aorta occlusion, capillary diameters significantly (P 〈 0.0001) decreased by a median value of 8% at all local PO2 values; in 14 out of 54 capillaries local diameter became less than 2.8 μm. The extent of diameter reduction did not correlate with PO2. In the 14 capillaries in which the diameter became less than 2.8 μm flow cessation occurred in only four cases. The minimal diameter reached was always at the site of an endothelial nucleus. The capillary diameter reductions are probably due to passive recoil. In the 48 capillaries in which flow ceased, only in four cases did a red blood cell stop at the site of the nucleus. We conclude that capillary diameter reductions (local and generalized) lead to a considerable increase in capillary resistance which contributes to the occurrence of flow cessation but cannot solely explain it.

    Notes: Abstract The purpose of this work was to obtain more quantitative knowledge about the yield of fluorescence from retinal vessles during indocyanine green angiography (ICG). The yield of fluorescence from blood was investigated for various shear rates, concentrations of ICG, and layer thicknesses. Measurements were performed in vitro on samples of human blood in a cone-plate shear chamber using frontal illumination as in scanning laser angiography. In blood and in plasma, the yield of fluorescence of ICG increased with concentration up to 0.05 and 0.1 mg/ml, respectively. At higher concentrations, the yield decreased for all layer thicknesses. For increasing layer thicknesses, both in plasma and in blood, the yield of ICG fluorescence increased nonlinearly for concentrations higher than 0.012 mg/ml. Saturation occurred for layers thicker than 200 μm in combination with ICG concentrations of 0.4 mg/ml and higher. Application of shear rates within the physiological range of the microcirculation (88/sec and 528/sec) increased the yield of fluorescence from the blood sample compared with stasis. The high transparency of blood for the excitation and emission light of ICG that was demonstrated will lead to superposition of fluorescence from superficial and deeper layers. This superposition precludes quantitative indocyanine angiography of ocular vessels.
