Methods: All of the 120 subjects in this survey underwent surgery, using waist-hard-soft anesthesia, during the hospital stay of our hospital.[September 2020, August 2021], grouped by lottery, group A (n40), B (n40) at speeds of 10s, 15s, 20s and C (n40), respectively. The anesthesia effect of the three groups was evaluated, and the main parameters selected were: maximum block plane, T6 block time, anesthesia effect, action block, etc., and the patient was monitored for blood dynamics.(1) Comparison: Group A (maximum block plane between groups) and T6 block (T6 block) (no significant difference between groups) (no significant difference between groups) (maximum block plane 8.28 ± 1.26 min, T6) (no significant difference between groups) were significantly better than Group A (8.28 ± 1.26 min, T6 block 7.47 ± 1.45 min), P 0.05. (2) Anesthesia (Group A 97.50%, Group B 100.00%, Group C) anesthesia block (Group A 2.540.58), Group B (Bromage) score (2.720.39), Group C (Bromage) (2.63 + 0.64), and Group C (Bromage) (2.63 + 0.64).(3) Three groups of patients before anesthesia heart rate, arterial pressure, oxygen saturation hemodynamic index level is similar, there is no significant statistical significance (P> 0.05), the index after anesthesia level changes larger, and there are significant statistical significance (P 0.05), the lowest in heart rate, the highest in arterial pressure and oxygen saturation group C, p 0.05. Conclusion: In clinical practice, hard lumbar puncture anesthesia should maintain the anesthesia rate of 15 seconds or 20 seconds, while the hemodynamic effect is at least within 20 seconds, and the optimal injection rate can be determined according to the patients condition.展开更多

Epidural anesthesia is the injection of a local anesthetic into the epidural cavity to block the spinal nerve root and temporarily paralyze the innervated area. Combined lumbar anesthetic-epidural block anesthesia is the injection of a local anesthetic into the cerebrospinal fluid. Blocking is produced by acting directly on the anterior and posterior roots of the spinal nerve and spinal cord. Waist anesthesia-epidural combined block anesthesia is effective in maintaining normal cardiopulmonary function and works quickly. In this study, 100 patients treated from April 2018 to June 2021 were randomly divided into observation and control groups, with 50 patients in each group. The control group underwent epidural anesthesia, and the observation group performed both lumbar anesthesia and epidural anesthesia to analyze the anesthesia effect. The results are reported as follows.展开更多

Methods: 60 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected as samples. After they were enrolled into the group, they were divided into standardized groups, and different anesthesia schemes were given to carry out the comparative analysis, namely the control group (Levantin anesthesia maintenance) and the observation group (low flow sevoflurane anesthesia maintenance). Statistic the differences of anesthesia indexes of different groups of samples, and the effects of different anesthesia schemes on the changes of patients signs and safety. Results: the time required for each stage of anesthesia in the two groups was measured. The results showed that the clinical indexes of the patients in the observation group were better, the time of onset of anesthesia, complete block, and the time required for patients to wake up after operation were shorter, and the dosage of anesthetic drugs was lower (P 0.05). Before anesthesia induction, there was no significant difference in baseline data (including heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure) among patient groups (P > 0.05). After anesthesia, the patients physical signs were monitored again before and 10 minutes after the establishment of pneumoperitoneum, all of which showed that the changes of the patients physical signs in the observation group were more stable, with significant difference compared with the control group (P 0.05). The indexes of heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in the immediate observation group were better, P 0.05. The incidence of unsafe events during and after operation in the two groups was evaluated. The evaluation value of the observation group was 6.67%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group by 26.67%, P 0.05. Conclusion: low-flow sevoflurane is adopted in anesthesia maintenance scheme of laparoscopic surgery, which has significant value in maintaining the stability of patients signs during operation and ensuring the safety of patients after operation.展开更多

There are three main types of connectivity used to describe neuronal networks, which reflect three parallel levels of investigation: anatomical connectivity, functional connectivity and effective connectivity. Effective connectivity indicates the direct influence that a node exerts on another, and in the context of neuronal?circuits, a causal relationship between the activities of two nodes. Since its definition, effective?connectivity analysis has been used to describe causal relationship across multiple spatial scales in?PET imaging, fMRI, electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), single-unit, and local field potential. There are diverse literatures which probe the anesthetized state?using effective connectivity analysis over the past two decades. The examination of effective connectivity in the anesthetized state is of relevance to both anesthesiologists and neuroscientists, as it has the potential to elucidate still unclear mechanisms of anesthesia while offering insight into intrinsic functional activity in the brain. The present review attempts to examine, elucidate, and integrate the insight that effective connectivity analysis of the anesthetized state has generated thus far.展开更多
