A 65-year-old man underwent thoracotomy and left upper lobe resection. Intraoperative and postoperative pain was managed with intermittent boluses of bupivacaine through the erector spinae plane catheter. Effective analgesia was achieved with minimal morphine consumption in postoperative period. Although central neuraxial blocks are considered to be gold standard for major thoracic surgery but where applicable, alternatives can be opted for better patient outcomes. \u0000Key words: Analgesia; Erector spinae plane block; Thoracotomy; Pain control; Neuraxial analgesia \u0000Citation: Usman A, Khan AW, Ijaz MK.

The bispectral index (BIS) monitoring to guide anesthetic agents' doses may play a significant role in the recovery time. This study compared recovery time after Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) of propofol with sevoflurane anesthesia by using BIS monitoring during vitrectomy surgery.  \u0000Methodology: This was a prospective observational, randomized study on 40 patients aged 18–65 y, physical status ASA I–II, body mass index (BMI) 18–30 kg/m2, who underwent vitrectomy surgery. Subjects were randomly assigned into two groups, Group P – the TCI propofol group, and Group S – the sevoflurane group. Subjects in the Group P received TCI propofol (Schnider), and subjects in the Group S received sevoflurane for anesthesia maintenance, with a targeted BIS score of 40–60. Inj. fentanyl 1 µg/kg was administered if there was an increase in blood pressure, heart rate and/or BIS that could not be overcome by increasing the dose of TCI propofol or sevoflurane. Recovery time was calculated from when the maintenance regimen was stopped until the patient was able to obey simple commands. Recovery time, fentanyl consumption, postoperative agitation, nausea and vomiting incidence were noted and analyzed with SPSS v21.0 for Windows. T–Test or Mann–Whitney U test was performed to analyze the data.  \u0000Result: Recovery time in the Group P [11.5 (5–25) min)] was not significantly different from the Group S [9 (4–18) min, p = 0.139]. Total fentanyl consumption was higher in the Group P than in the Group S (1.765 vs. 1.428 µg/kg). The frequency of agitation during recovery was higher in the Group S than in the Group P (30% vs. 20%) \u0000Conclusion: There was no significant difference in recovery time between target controlled infusion of propofol and BIS controlled sevoflurane anesthesia in vitrectomy. Total fentanyl consumption was higher in the Group P than in the sevoflurane group. The impact of these anesthetic regimens on postoperative agitation needs further investigation. \u0000Key words: Intravenous anesthesia; Bispectral index monitoring; BIS;  Propofol; Sevoflurane; Target Controlled Infusion; TCI; Vitrectomy \u0000Citation: Tantri AR, Sukmono RB, Atmadja LS.

The overall mortality among patients with COVID-19 was 9.3%, in the intensive care unit (ICU) – 48.4%. The most common causes of death in patients with COVID-19 were: respiratory failure (RF) – 100% of cases, pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute heart failure (AHF) - about 60%.

The majority of cases of primary hyperparathyreosis (PHPT) due to solitary adenoma and require the target surgery. Research of new anesthesia/analgesia methods, which afford to have an opioid-sparing effect, is going. Methods. 127 patients with PHPT were divided into 3 groups: the group STI-BCSPB (n=26) was used combined general anesthesia (GA) with sevoflurane (SEV), the tracheal intubation (TI) with the myorelaxant introduction and bilateral cervical superficial plexus blockade (BCSPB); the group STI (n=82) was used SEV anaesthesia with IT and no BCSPB; the group PLM-BCSPB (n=19) was provided propofol (P) GA with protection air-ways by laryngeal mask (LM) and BCSPB. In both groups (STI-BCSPB and PLM-BCSPB) were used co-analgesics, such as dexamethasone (DXM) 8 mg IV, 2% lidocaine (L) 1,0-1,5 mg/kg IV, metamizole (M) or paracetamol (P) 1 g IV, dexketoprofen (DKTP) 50 mg IV as pre-emptive analgesia 30 min before surgery. Ketamine 25 mg IV was used for induction anaesthesia in these groups. In STI group only opioid with P were used for induction of GA. Duration of surgery (DoS), anaesthesia (DoA), opioid consumption, time from the operation ending until the eyes opening (EyOp), desaturation was measured. All data M±m\u0000Results. DoS for STI-BCSPB, STI and PLM-BCSPB was respectively 38.7±2.7, 37.8±1.3 and 35.6±1.7 min (NS), DoA was respectively 63.8±3.1, 59.4±1.4 m and 53,8±2.7 min (p= 0.028 STI vs PLM-BCSPB, p= 0.024 STI-BCSPB vs PLM-BCSPB, the difference is significant (DS).

Desaturation (SpO2 below 92%) due to residual sedation and the effect of muscles relaxants was observed in 39 (47.6%) and 11 (42,3%) patients in STI and STI-BCSPB during the first 30 min postop compared to 2 cases (10.5%) in PLM-BCSPB (both STI groups were DS vs PLM-BCSPB, chi-square test).

Combine methods GA with BCSPB have some benefits over mono GA. Co-analgesics afford to achieve an opioidsparing effect. Under ectomy of single parathyroid adenoma, the use of propofol and BSCPB with the laryngeal mask without muscles relaxants seems more preferable compared to sevoflurane anesthesia with BBSCP and tracheal intubation due to the shorter anesthesia duration, time to eye-opening after surgery, lower desaturation frequency.","PeriodicalId":7735,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesia, Pain & Intensive Care","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80821166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pancreatoduodenectomy (PDR or Whipple’s operation) remains the only effective radical method of surgery for tumors of the pancreatic head, distal common bile duct and Vater’s papilla. The most frequent complications of the early postoperative period are: gastrostasis, pancreatic fistula, postoperative bleeding and pulmonary complications. According to World Health Organization (WHO) and reviews, severe COVID-19 usually occurs in older age patients, and in patients with oncological diseases.\u0000Case description. Patient V., 64 years old, due to a tumor of the head of the pancreas with invasion of the distal common bile duct and the development of obstructive jaundice, underwent PDR. Histopathologically, ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreatic head, G-2, was confirmed. The PDR operation was performed within healthy tissues, which was confirmed by histopathology.\u0000On the second day after surgery, patient was admitted to ICU because of respiratory failure, the SARS-CoV-2 antigen test was positive, we suggest that the patient was in the latent period of COVID-19 disease during the surgery. Patient received hormone therapy, anticoagulants in therapeutic doses, O2-therapy. On the 5th day, because of severe ARDS, the patient was intubated, on the 7th day - convalescent plasma transfused (1 dose). On the 9th day, a tracheostomy was applied for airways care and early activation. Respiratory support was provided twelve days. Patient received early activation, exercises, as well as early enteral nutrition.
