General Anesthesia

General anesthesia is a state of controlled, reversible unconsciousness induced by the administration of one or more anesthetic agents.
It allows for safe and painless medical procedures by depressing the central nervous system and blocking pain sensations throughout the body.
This comprehensive medical intervention is widely used in surgical, obstetric, and other medical settings to facilitate various procedures and ensure patient comfort and safety.
The effects of general anesthesia can be carefully monitored and adjusted by trained healthcare professionals to provide the optimal level of unconsciousness and pain relief for the duration of the medical intervention.

Primate Dopamine Neuron Responses in Pavlovian Conditioning

Cited 22 times

Two adult rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) were used for the experiments. All procedures for animal care and experimentation were approved by the Institute Animal Care and Use Committee and complied with the Public Health Service Policy on the humane care and use of laboratory animals. A plastic head holder and plastic recording chamber were fixed to the skull under general anesthesia and sterile surgical conditions. The recording chamber was placed over the fronto-parietal cortex, tilted laterally by 35 degrees, and was aimed at the SNc and VTA. Two search coils were surgically placed under the conjunctiva of the eyes. The head holder, the recording chamber and the eye coil connectors were all embedded in dental acrylic that covered the top of the skull and were connected to the skull by acrylic screws. We conditioned two monkeys using a Pavlovian procedure with an appetitive US (liquid reward) and an aversive US (airpuff). During the Pavlovian procedure, we recorded the activity of dopamine neurons in and around the SNc and VTA. We estimated the position of the SNc and VTA by MRI and identified dopamine neurons by their electrophysiological properties. After the end of recording sessions in one monkey, we confirmed the recording sites histologically. We analyzed anticipatory licking, anticipatory blinking and neuronal responses during the Pavlovian procedure. We focused on three kinds of neuronal responses: 1) responses elicited by CS presentation, 2) responses elicited by US delivery, and 3) responses elicited by US omission. Details of the Pavlovian procedure, identification of dopamine neurons, analysis methods, and histological procedure can be found in Full Methods.

Measuring Blood Pressure: From Invasive to Noninvasive

Cited 15 times

The first quantitative measurements of blood pressure were performed in animals by Hales in 1733 [24 , 25 (link)]. Early reports of intra-arterial pressure measurement in the human are from 1912, when Bleichröder [26 ] cannulated his own radial artery. It is unlikely that he recorded his BP although it would have been possible at that time: Frank developed accurate and fast manometers that could measure pulsatile pressure in 1903 [27 ]. Invasive measurement of BP was confined to the physiology labs for quite some time [28 (link), 29 (link)]. However in the 1950s and 1960s, with the development of refined insertion techniques [30 (link)] and Teflon catheters it became standard clinical practice. High fidelity catheter-tip manometers, such as used to measure pressure gradients across a coronary stenosis, were introduced by Murgo and Millar in 1972 [31 ]. Table 1 gives an overview of BP methods.Table 1

Practical noninvasive (intermittent) BP measurement became possible when Riva-Rocci presented his air-inflatable arm cuff connected to a manometer in 1896 [32 , 33 (link)]. By deflating the cuff and feeling for the pulse, systolic BP could be determined. In 1905 Korotkoff [34 , 35 (link)] advanced the technique further with the auscultatory method making it possible to determine diastolic pressure as well. In 1903 Cushing recommended BP monitoring using the Riva-Rocci sphygmomanometer for patients under general anesthesia [36 (link)]. Nowadays, automated assessment of BP with oscillometric devices is commonly used. These devices determine BP by analyzing the oscillations measured in the cuff-pressure. The pressure in the cuff is first brought above systolic pressure and then deflated to below diastolic pressure. Oscillations are largest when cuff pressure equals mean arterial pressure. Proprietary algorithms determine systolic and diastolic values from the oscillations. Oscillometers may be inaccurate [37 ], and provided values that are frequently lower than direct BP measurements in critically ill patients, [38 (link), 39 (link)] whereas detection of large BP changes is unreliable [40 (link)]. Due to its intermittent nature hyper- and hypotensive periods may be missed [2 (link)].
“Semi-continuous noninvasive methods” based on radial arterial tonometry require an additional arm cuff to calibrate arterial pressure [41 (link)–43 (link)]. The use of these devices may become problematic under conditions with significant patient motion or surgical manipulation of the limbs [43 (link), 44 (link)]. However, tonometry devices have contributed greatly to the knowledge of the relation between the pressure wave shape and cardiovascular function [45 (link), 46 (link)].

Cyclic Compressive Loading Effect on Murine Joints

Cited 14 times

To test the effects of load duration on the joint changes, we subjected the left tibiae of twenty-one young (10-week-old) C57Bl/6 male mice (Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) to cyclic compressive loading for 1, 2, and 6 weeks at a 9.0N peak load. We also loaded the tibiae of forty-two adult (26-week-old) C57Bl/6 male mice at 4.5N and 9.0N peak loads for 1, 2, and 6 weeks. A load level of 9.0N generates 1200με in the tibial mid-shaft of 10-week-old mice based on in vivo strain gauging (20 (link)). In vivo tibial loading was applied for 1200 cycles at 4 Hz for 5 days per week at each peak load under general anesthesia (2% Isoflurane, 1.0 L/min, Webster). The applied loading was based on protocols demonstrated previously to have an anabolic effect on the tibial metaphysis in growing and adult mice (Supp Figure 1) (20 (link)–22 (link)). The left limb was loaded, and the right limb served as the non-loaded control. In preliminary studies in our laboratory, we found that metaphyseal bone mass and architecture of the non-loaded control (right) limbs were not affected by loading of the left limbs. After the specified duration, the mice were euthanized, and the intact knee joints were dissected and fixed in 10% formalin overnight. All experimental procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

Epidural Injection Distribution Pattern Evaluation

Prior to administration, the data regarding the demographic characteristics, such as, pain duration, pain severity, and involved nerve root were extracted. Two radiologists retrospectively analyzed and recorded the IDP on postintervention CT scanning images. The injection spread patterns in the cross-sectional CT images included the following: Zone I: extra-foraminal; Zone II: the foraminal spaces; Zone III: intra-foraminal (Figure 3).
Figure 3

The injection distribution area in the cross section of CT image: Line A is from anterolateral vertebral body to the lateral margin of the facet. Line B is from posterior-lateral vertebral body to the interior margin of the facet. Line C is the axial centerline of the epidural space. Zone I The out space of line A is extra-foraminal; Zone II: Between line A and B is the foraminal spaces; Zone III: Between line B and C is intra-foraminal/epidural spaces.

An investigator blinded to the patient assignments/treatments performed patient follow-ups, and recorded pain scores, particularly, NRS during hospital visits at 2 hours, 1 week, and 4 weeks after injection.
Safety was assessed as follows: ① Bleeding situation: Prior to drug injection, we recorded whether there was blood upon withdrawal, and verified the presence or absence of hematoma via CT scan. ② Other adverse reactions, including, puncture point pain, shortness of breath, paresthesias, motor deficit, hematoma, dizziness, headache, vomiting, general spinal anesthesia, and so on.

Tailored Approaches for Rectal Prolapse

In the case of recurrence after rectal prolapse surgery, the surgical procedures were performed with the opposite approaches considering the patient’s condition. If the patient initially underwent an abdominal approach, reoperation was performed with a perineal approach. When the risks of general anesthesia are high, such as when the patient is elderly, has a high ASA PS classification, or has a severe underlying disease, perineal approach surgery under spinal anesthesia was performed according to the recommendation of the anesthesiologist. For patients who underwent radiotherapy in the abdominal cavity, abdominal approach was selected. All elective rectal prolapse surgeries were performed by 2 experienced colorectal surgeons.

Perineal Approach for Rectal Prolapse

In general, the perineal approach to rectal prolapse is performed in fragile patients who cannot tolerate the abdominal approach, such as elderly patients, patients with severe heart or lung disease, patients at high risk of general anesthesia, or patients with a history of abdominal surgery. The authors performed Delorme procedure, Altemeier procedure, and the stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR) procedure through a perineal approach, depending on the degree of rectal prolapse. The STARR procedure was used for mucosal prolapses less than 3 cm from the anus, Delorme procedure for prolapses larger than 3 cm, and Altemeier procedure for full-thickness prolapses.

Laparoscopic Ventral Rectopexy Technique

All abdominal surgical approaches were performed using the laparoscopic ventral rectopexy method under general anesthesia regardless of the degree of rectal prolapse. All patients were placed in the lithotomy and Trendelenburg position after anesthesia, and a 12-mm trocar was inserted into the umbilicus for laparoscopic camera insertion, and four 5-mm trocars were inserted in each of the left and right upper and lower abdominal quadrants. The bowel was pulled out of the pelvis and the sigmoid colon was retracted to the left lateral side. The peritoneal opening was made in an inverted J-shape from the sacral cape to the left edge of the peritoneal reflex. The sterile polypropylene mesh (Prolene, Ethicon) was designed to have a length of 15 cm and a width of 2 cm. The mesh was properly positioned in the peritoneal opening, the lower end was sutured to the anterior wall of the rectum 2–3 cm from the edge of the anus, and the upper end was fixed to the right side of the periosteum of the sacral cape using ProTack (Covidien). The peritoneum opening was closed with continuous sutures using V-loc (Covidien) to prevent contact of the mesh with other organs in the abdomen.

What are the different types of general anesthesia?

General anesthesia can be broadly classified into two main types: inhalational anesthesia and intravenous anesthesia. Inhalational anesthesia involves the administration of volatile anesthetic agents, such as isoflurane or sevoflurane, through the respiratory system. Intravenous anesthesia, on the other hand, involves the administration of anesthetic drugs directly into the bloodstream, such as propofol or etomidate. The choice between these two types depends on the specific medical procedure, the patient's health status, and the preferences of the anesthesia provider.

What are the common uses of general anesthesia?

General anesthesia is commonly used in a variety of medical procedures, including: 1. Surgeyr: General anesthesia is the standard approach for most major surgical procedures, such as abdominal, orthopedic, cardiac, and neurological surgeries, to ensure patient comfort and safety. 2. Obstetrics: General anesthesia may be used during cesarean sections or other obstetric procedures to provide pain relief and unconsciousness for the mother. 3. Emegency care: General anesthesia is often used in emergency situations, such as trauma or acute medical conditions, to facilitate necessary interventions and ensure patient stability.

What are the potential risks associated with general anesthesia?

While general anesthesia is generally safe, there are some potential risks associated with its use, including: 1. Respiratory depression: General anesthesia can cause a temporary suppression of the respiratory system, which may require assisted breathing during the procedure. 2. Cardiovascular effects: Anesthesia can affect blood pressure and heart rate, which may require monitoring and adjustments by the anesthesia provider. 3. Postoperative nausea and vomiting: Some patients may experience nausea and vomiting after general anesthesia, which can be managed with antiemetic medications.
