Background and objective: To compare the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane anaesthesia on lipid peroxidation. Methods: We studied 40 healthy patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were randomly allocated to be anaesthetized either with sevoflurane (n = 20) or desflurane (n = 20). Anaesthesia was maintained with inspiratory concentrations of sevoflurane 1-1.5 MAC (n = 20) or desflurane (n = 20). Samples were taken for plasma malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase assays before induction of anaesthesia, before skin incision and at the end of surgery. Alveolar cell samples were obtained from the lungs using the technique of protective blind bronchoalveolar lavage, after induction of anaesthesia and at the end of surgery for malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase concentrations. Results: Plasma malondialdehyde increased more after the administration of desflurane than after sevoflurane: after induction 5.9 ± 0.6 nmol mL−1 for desflurane vs. 3.8 ± 0.5 nmol L−1 for sevoflurane (P < 0.001); at the end of the surgery: 6.7 ± 0.4 nmol mL−1 for desflurane vs. 4.2 ± 0.3 nmol mL−1 for sevoflurane (P < 0.001). There was a small but significant increase in plasma superoxide dismutase concentration after desflurane - from 24.2 ± 1.2 to 24.9 ± 0.9 U mL−1 after induction and 25 ± 1 U mL−1 at the end of the surgery (P < 0.01) - but no increase with sevoflurane. Malondialdehyde concentrations increased significantly in the cells obtained by protective blind bronchoalveolar lavage at the end of surgery in the desflurane group (from 0.3 ± 0.1 to 1.7 ± 0.2 nmol mL−1 (P < 0.001)), but not in the sevoflurane group. There were no significant differences between the two anaesthetics in the amounts of superoxide dismutase in the samples obtained by protective blind bronchoalveolar lavage. Conclusions: Desflurane may cause more systemic and regional lipid peroxidation than sevoflurane during laparoscopic cholecystectomy in healthy human beings.

IntroductionThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the stress response on plasma insulin, cortisol, glucose, and urinary vanilmandelic acid during weaning and after extubation, using pressure support (PS), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and T-piece modes.MethodsSixty patients were randomly divided into three groups (n = 20). The PS group received FiO2 ≤ 0.4, PS ≤ 10 cmH2O, and positive end expiratory pressure ≤ 5 cmH2O for 2 hours. The CPAP group was given FiO2 ≤ 0.4 and CPAP 5 ≤ cmH2O for 2 hours. The T-piece group (group T) received 4 l/min oxygen via a T-piece for 2 hours. After 1 hour and 2 hours in their respective weaning modes, blood and urine samples were taken for insulin, cortisol, glucose and vanilmandelic acid measurements. Forty-eight hours after extubation, blood and urine samples were again taken.ResultsPlasma insulin was greater in group T than in the PS and CPAP groups (P < 0.01 and P < 0.01). The plasma cortisol concentration was greater in group T than in group PS during weaning (P < 0.05) and after extubation (P < 0.05). Blood glucose concentrations were greater in group T than in the other groups (both P < 0.01) both during weaning and post extubation. Urine vanilmandelic acid was greater in group T than in the other groups during weaning and after extubation (both P < 0.001).ConclusionWeaning via the T-piece caused a greater stress response than the PS and CPAP modes.

Our aim was to compare the effects of intravenous, enteral, and enteral plus intravenous supplemented glutamine on plasma transferrin, nitrogen balance, and creatinine/height index in septic patients with malnutrition. Blood and urine samples were collected for transferrin, urea and creatinine measurements. Samples, SOFA score and protein-calorie intake values were repeated on days 7 and 15. Patients (n:120) were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group I received 30 g/day IV glutamine, group II received 30 g/day enteral glutamine, group III received 15 g/day IV and 15 g/day enteral glutamine. Group IV received only enteral feeding as a control group. Transferrin levels decreased in group IV (p<0.01 0-7 days, p<0.01 7-15 days, p<0.01 0-15 days). Nitrogen balance levels were highest in group IV when compared with group I (p<0.05, p<0.001), group II (p<0.001), and group III (p<0.05, p<0.001) on days 7-15. Creatinine/height indexes increased in group I (p<0.001), group II (p<0.001), group III (p<0.001), and group IV (p<0.05) on day 15. In group III the creatinine/height index was higher than in groups I and II (p<0.05). In group IV, creatinine/height index was lower than in group I (p<0.01) and group II (p<0.001). Protein-calorie intake in group IV was higher than others on day 7 (p<0.05). SOFA scores of group IV were higher than the other groups on day 15 (p<0.05). This study demonstrated, that combined route of gln supplementation resulted in the most positive outcome to transferrin, creatine/height index and nitrogen balance (on days 7 and 15) during the catabolic phase of septic patients with malnutrition.

OBJECTIVE The local anesthetics may cause neurotoxicity. We aimed to compare the neurotoxic potential of different local anesthetics, local anesthetic induced nerve damage and pathological changes of a peripheral nerve. METHODS Sixty Wistar rats weighing 200-350g were studied. Rats were assigned into 3 groups and 26-gauge needle was inserted under magnification into the left sciatic nerve and 0.2mL of 0.5% bupivacaine, 5% levobupivacaine, and 2% lidocaine were injected intraneurally. An individual who was blind to the specifics of the injection monitored the neurologic function on postoperative 1st day, and daily thereafter. Neurologic examination included assessment for the presence and severity of nociception and grasping reflexes. At the 7th day sciatic nerve specimen was taken for evaluation of histopathologic changes. RESULTS There was no statistical difference detected among groups regarding grasping reflex and histopathologic evaluation. Two cases in bupivacaine group, 1 case in levobupivacaine group and 2 cases in lidocaine group had slight grasping, while 1 case in lidocaine group had no grasping reflex on the seventh day. Severe axonal degeneration was observed in all groups, respectively in bupivacaine group 4 (20%), levobupivacaine group 3 (15%), and lidocaine group 6 (30%). CONCLUSION In all groups, histopathological damage frequency and severity were more than the motor deficiency.

BACKGROUND The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of a single dose of etomidate and the use of a steroid injection prior to etomidate during rapid sequence intubation on hemodynamics and cortisol levels. METHODS Sixty patients were divided into three groups (n=20). Before intubation, and at 4 and 24 hours, blood samples were taken for cortisol measurements and hemodynamic parameters (systolic-diastolic-mean arterial pressure, heart rate), and SOFA scores were recorded. Intubation was achieved with 0.3 mg/kg etomidate IV in Group I, 0.3 mg/kg etomidate following 2 mg/kg methylprednisolone IV in Group II, and 0.15 mg/kg IV midazolam in Group III. RESULTS Mean arterial pressure values were lower in Group I at the 24th hour when compared to Groups II and III. In Group I, heart rate values were higher compared to the other Groups. Cortisol levels were lower in Group I at the 4th and at the 24th hour in Groups II and III. CONCLUSION Administration of methylprednisolone 2-4 minutes prior to etomidate use in emergency situations can prevent adrenal insufficiency in patients undergoing rapid sequence intubation. Moreover, midazolam can be used in low induction doses as an alternative to etomidate.
