    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms carries significant cardiovascular risks. Transvascular insertion of endoluminal prostheses is a new, minimally invasive treatment for aortic aneurysms. The pathophysiology of this novel procedure, risks and benefits of different anaesthetic techniques, and typical complications need to be defined. Methods. With their informed, written consent, 19 male patients aged 48–83 years of ASA physical status III and IV with infrarenal (n=18) or thoracic (n=1) aortic aneurysms underwent 23 stenting procedures under general endotracheal (n=9), epidural (n=8), or local anaesthesia with sedation (n=6). Intra-anaesthetic haemodynamics, indicators of postoperative (p.o.) oxygenation and systemic inflammatory response, and perioperative complications were analysed retrospectively and compared between anaesthetic regimens. Results. Groups were well matched with regard to morphometry and preoperative risk profiles (Table 1). The use of pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, incidence of intraoperative hypotensive episodes, and p.o. intensive care was more frequent with general anaesthesia. Groups did not differ in total duration of anaesthesia care, incidence and duration of intraoperative hypertensive, brady-, or tachycardic periods, incidence of arterial oxygen desaturation, use of vasopressors, colloid volume replacements, or antihypertensives (Table 2). Postoperatively, all groups showed a similar, significant systemic inflammatory response, i.e., rapidly spiking temperature (p.o. evening: mean peak 38.5±1.0° C), leucocytosis, and rise of acute-phase proteins without bacteraemia (Table 3). During this period, despite supplemental oxygen, pulse oximetry revealed temporary arterial desaturation in 13 of 18 patients (70%) (Table 3). In 3 patients, hyperpyrexia was associated with intermittent tachyarrhythmias (n=3) and angina pectoris (n=1). There was no conversion to open aortic surgery, perioperative myocardial infarction, or death. Conclusions. Regional and local anaesthesia with sedation are feasible alternatives to general endotracheal anaesthesia for minimally invasive treatment of aortic aneurysms by endovascular stenting. However, invasive monitoring and close postoperative monitoring are strongly recommended with either method. Specific perioperative risks in patients with limited cardiovascular or pulmonary reserve are introduced by the abacterial systemic inflammatory response to aortic stent implantation. Hyperpyrexia increases myocardial and whole-body oxygen consumption, and can precipitate tachyarrhythmias. Hyperfibrinogenaemia may increase the risk of postoperative arterial and venous thromboses. Close monitoring of vital parameters and prophylactic measures, including oxygen supplementation, low-dose anticoagulation, antipyretics, and fluid replacement are warranted until this syndrome resolves.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die transvaskuläre Plazierung endoluminaler Gefäßprothesen mittels interventionell-radiologischer Methoden ist ein neues, minimal invasives Verfahren zur Therapie von Aortenaneurysmen. Wir analysierten retrospektiv die Praktikabilität verschiedener Anästhesieverfahren, die pathophysiologischen Auswirkungen des Eingriffs und typische Risiken. Bei 19 Patienten mit Aneurysmen der infrarenalen (n=18) oder der thorakalen Aorta (n=1) wurden in 23 Eingriffen aortale Stentprothesen implantiert. Die Eingriffe erfolgten in Allgemeinanästhesie (AA: n=9), in Periduralanästhesie (PDA: n=8) oder Lokalanästhesie (LA: n=6) mit Analgosedierung. Trotz erhöhten Überwachungsaufwands in der Gruppe AA ergaben sich keine Unterschiede in folgenden Parametern: Inzidenz und Dauer intraoperativer hypertensiver, brady- oder tachykarder Phasen; Einsatz von Vasopressoren, Antihypertensiva oder Volumenersatz. Hypotensive Episoden waren bei Allgemeinanästhesien häufiger. Postoperativ zeigten alle Patienten Anstiege der Körpertemperatur sowie laborchemischer Entzündungsparameter. Vom Anästhesieverfahren abhängige Unterschiede im Verlauf der Entzündungsreaktion waren nicht erkennbar. 13 von 18 Patienten zeigten passagere arterielle Desaturationen zwischen 83% und 95%. In 3 Fällen gingen Temperaturanstiege mit kardialen Komplikationen (Tachyarrhythmien, Stenokardie) einher. Perioperative Myokardinfarkte oder Todesfälle traten nicht auf. Zur endovaskulären Therapie ausgewählter Aortenaneurysmen sind neben der Allgemeinanästhesie auch die Regional- oder die Lokalanästhesie mit Analgosedierung praktikable, sichere Verfahren, sofern invasives Monitoring und engmaschige postoperative Überwachung gewährleistet sind. Die eingriffstypische abakterielle Entzündungsreaktion stellt für kardiopulmonal vorgeschädigte Patienten ein Risiko dar.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The lateral decubitus position is the standard position for nephrectomies. There is a lack of data about the effects of this extreme position upon respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. In 20 patients undergoing surgery in the nephrectomy position, we compared a new closed-loop-controlled ventilation algorithm, adaptive lung ventilation (ALV), which adapts the breathing pattern automatically, to the respiratory mechanics with conventionally controlled mandatory ventilation (CMV). The aims of our study were (1) to describe positioning effects on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, (2) to compary ventilatory parameters selected by the ALV controller with traditional settings of CMV, and (3) to assess the individual adaptation of the ventilatory parameters by the ALV controller. The respirator used was a modified Amadeus ventilator, which is controlled by an external computer and possesses an integrated lung function analyzer. In a first set of measurements, we compared parameters of respiratory mechanics and gas exchange in the horizontal supine position and 20 min after changing to the nephrectomy position. In a second set of measurements, patients were ventilated with ALV and CMV using a randomized crossover design. The CMV settings were a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg body weight, a respiratory rate of 10 breaths/min, an I:E ratio of 1:1.5, and an end-inspiratory pause of 30% of inspiratory time. With both ventilation modes FiO2 was set to 0.5 and PEEP to 3 cm H2O. During ALV a desired alveolar ventilation of 70 ml/kg KG·min was preset. All other ventilatory parameters were determined by the ALV controller according to the instantaneously measured respiratory parameters. Positioning induced a reduction of compliance from 61.6 to 47.9 ml/cm H2O; the respiratory time constant shortened from 1.2 to 1.08 s, whereas physiological dead space increased from 158.9 to 207.5 ml. On average, the ventilatory parameters selected by the ALV controller resembled very closely those used with CMV. However, an adaptation to individual respiratory mechanics was clearly evident with ALV. In conclusion, we found that the effects of positioning for nephrectomy are minor and may give rise to problems only in patients with restrictive lung disease. The novel ALV controller automatically selects ventilatory parameters that are clinically sound and are better adapted to the respiratory mechanics of ventilated patients than the standardized settings of CMV are.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung ALV stellt ein neues automatisches Beatmungsverfahren dar. Wir verglichen an 20 Patienten in Nephrektomielagerung ALV mit der konventionellen CMV-Beatmung. Ziele der Studie waren 1) Auswirkungen der Lagerung auf Atmungsmechanik und Gasaustausch festzustellen, 2) die vom ALV-Regler gewählten Beatmungsparameter mit den traditionell unter CMV eingestellten zu vergleichen und 3) die individuelle Anpassung der Beatmungsparameter unter ALV zu beurteilen. Zunächst wurden Atmungsmechanik- und Gasaustauschwerte in Rückenlage und 20 min nach Umlagerung verglichen. Danach wurden die Patienten nach einem randomisierten Crossover-Design sowohl ALV als auch CMV beatmet. Unter CMV wurde ein Atemzugvolumen von 10 ml/kg KG, eine Atmungsfrequenz von 10 AZ/min, ein I:E-Verhältnis von 1:1,5 und eine endinspiratorische Pause von 30% der Inspirationszeit eingestellt. Unter ALV wurde eine gewünschte alveoläre Ventilation von 70 ml/kg Körpergewicht und Minute vorgegeben. Nach Umlagerung nahm die Compliance von 61,6 auf 47,9 ml/cm H2O ab, die respiratorische Zeitkonstante verkürzte sich von 1,2 auf 1,08 s und der physiologische Totraum nahm von 158,9 auf 207,5 ml zu. Der ALV-Regler beatmete die Patienten mit Beatmungsparametern, die zwar im Mittel weitgehend identisch mit den unter CMV vorgegebenen waren, die aber eine individuelle Anpassung an die unterschiedliche Atmungsmechanik beobachten ließen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Cimetidine is a commonly used H2-receptor antagonist that has been recommended for the prevention of acid aspiration syndrome and has been shown to potentiate vecuronium-induced neuromuscular block. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of a single IV dose of cimetidine on the neuromuscular effects of rocuronium, an analogue of vecuronium with a short onset time. Methods. Twenty adults aged 18–65 years were included in the study with their informed consent and approval of the Ethics Committee. Following oxazepam premedication, 10 patients were randomly allocated to receive cimetidine 400 mg IV 30 min before anaesthesia. After fentanyl and thiopentone induction, single-twitch stimulation of the ulnar nerve was performed every 10 s. Following stabilisation of control responses, patients received rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg for intubation. Anaesthesia was maintained with enflurane ≤0.8 vol.% (end-tidal) and 65% nitrous oxide. Onset time and recovery times to 25% and 75% of the twitch control values were recorded. Results. Onset and recovery times did not differ between groups. Conclusions. The results of the present study demonstrate that cimetidine does not increase the duration of rocuronium neuromuscular blockade. Inhibition of the cytochrome P450 system or a direct effect at the neuromuscular junction have been suggested as the mechanisms of drug interaction associated with cimetidine. Impairment of hepatic microsomal drug metabolism results in a prolonged duration of action of vecuronium, which appears to be eliminated primarily via the liver. Data on the elimination pathway of rocuronium in humans are not available. The fact that cimetidine does not alter the recovery from rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block confirms a previous suggestion that rocuronium may not be eliminated principally by the liver. A direct effect of cimetidine on the neuromuscular junction could not be confirmed by this study. Therefore, cimetidine can be given as premedication without a risk of prolonged rocuronium block.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nach Gabe von Cimetidin kann die Wirkungszeit nichtdepolarisierender Muskelrelaxanzien verlängert sein. Wir untersuchten diesen Zusammenhang für Rocuronium nach einer Einzeldosis von 400 mg Cimetidin intravenös im Vergleich mit einer Kontrollgruppe. Die Antwort des M. adductor pollicis nach Stimulation des N. ulnaris wurde elektromyographisch registriert. Die Anschlags- und Erholungszeiten sind in beiden Gruppen vergleichbar. Der fehlende Einfluß von Cimetidin auf die neuromuskuläre Blockade von Rocuronium könnte darauf hindeuten, daß die Elimination von Rocuronium nicht nur in der Leber stattfindet. Eine mögliche direkte Beeinflussung der neuromuskulären Endplatte durch Cimetidin, wie sie für Vecuronium postuliert worden ist, trifft nach unseren Ergebnissen nicht für Rocuronium zu. Die Anwendung von Cimetidin in der Prämedikation verlängert nicht die Dauer der neuromuskulären Blockade durch Rocuronium.

    Notes: Abstract High frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) was used in a patient who developed the acute respiratory distress syndrome 5 days following a right pneumonectomy for bronchogenic carcinoma. When conventional pressure-controlled ventilation failed to maintain adequate oxygenation, HFOV dramatically improved oxygenation within the first few hours of therapy. Pulmonary function and gas exchange recovered during a 10-day period of HFOV. No negative side effects were observed. Early use of HFOV may be a beneficial ventilation strategy for adults with acute pulmonary failure, even in the postoperative period after lung resection.

    Notes: An oxygen microdetector suitable for respiratory experiments with small laboratory animals is described. Its principle structure is an O2-sensitive dye layer. To measure pO2 the capability of O2 to quench the fluorescence of dyes is used. The instrumental dead space of the detector amounts to 0.1 ml only. The detector indicates 90% of a concentration jump from 20 to 15 vol. % O2 in less than 20 ms without any dead time. Neither O2 nor sample volume are consumed. The special setup of the dye layer prevents CO2, N2O, and the humidity of the gas from affecting the fluorescence quenching of oxygen. The mean standard deviation is 0.95% of the relative fluorescence signal between 9.99 and 59.62 kPa pO2. The detector is suitable to measure rapid changes of pO2 in inspired and expired gases and may be enlarged for use in man.

    Notes: Abstract The Adaptive Lung Ventilation Controller (ALV-Controller) represents a new approach to closed loop control of ventilation. It is based on a pressure controlled ventilation mode. Adaptive lung ventilation signifies automatic breath by breath adaptation of breathing patterns to the lung mechanics of an individual patient. The specific goals are to minimize work of breathing, to maintain a preset alveolar ventilation to prevent the occurrence of intrinsic PEEP. We ventilated 5 patients undergoing major abdominal procedures using ALV. ALV was tolerated well in all patients. Alveolar ventilation was preset between 5500 and 6500 ml/min. Serial dead space (Vds) and respiratory time constant (resistence* compliance) of the patients ranged from 104 to 164 ml and 0.74 to 1.5 s, respectively. The resulting respiratory rates ranged from 8 to 15 breaths/min, the tidal volumes from 542 to 829 ml, and the applied maximum inspiratory pressures from 15.5 to 18.9 mbar. Expiratory time was sufficient in all cases to allow complete expiration and to avoid intrinsic PEEP. I: E-relations ranged from 0.36 to 0.76. After a step change in alveolar ventrilation rise times of the breathing patterns were recorded at values from 7 to 67 s. Overshoot did not reach statisic significance compared to the variations in breathing patterns which occurred during stable measuring periods. Accuracy of the controller was high (27.8 ml difference between preset and applied alveolar ventilation in the mean) and stability was sufficient for clinical purposes. The results of this preliminary study show that the breathing patterns selected by the controller were well adapted to the lung mechanics of the patients. Respiratory rates, inspiratory pressures and tidal volumes were within the clinically acceptable range in all patients.
