It examines the effects on their physiological and psychological responses and overall satisfaction with nursing care. Methods: A total of 84 patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group using a random number table. Each group consisted of 42 patients. The control group received standard surgical nursing care. In addition to standard care, the intervention group received handshake and information support from the circulating nurse before anesthesia induction. Vital signs were recorded before surgery and before anesthesia induction. Anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the State-Anxiety Inventory (S-AI), while nursing satisfaction was assessed using a numerical rating scale. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups in systolic and diastolic blood pressures before surgery and anesthesia induction (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in heart rate before anesthesia induction (P Conclusion: Providing handshake and information support before anesthesia induction effectively reduces stress, alleviates anxiety, and enhances comfort and satisfaction among patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.展开更多

Methods: the children who were operated in our hospital were selected as the study objects, and 150 patients were included in the study. The operation time was from January 2015 to August 2022. Randomized grouping was carried out by means of computer number drawing, which was divided into control group (n75) and observation group (n75). The control group was anesthetized with a conventional protocol (midazolam+rocuronium), while the observation group was anesthetized with propofol during the induction period. The sedation effect, the incidence of adverse anesthetic reactions, the correlation of operation methods (duration of anesthesia induction, duration of respiratory recovery, duration of consciousness, concentration of propofol effect room, bispectral index of anesthesia EEG) and the hemodynamic index data at different time points were compared between the two groups. Results: the effective rate of sedation in the observation group was 98.67%, which was higher than that in the control group. The difference was significant after statistical software analysis (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reaction of anesthesia in the observation group was 10.67%, which was insignificant compared with the control group after statistical software analysis (P>0.05). In the observation group, the duration of anesthesia induction was (4.05 ± 0.48) min, the duration of respiratory recovery was (5.35 ± 1.25) min, the duration of conscious awakening was (9.75 ± 3.55) min, the concentration of propofol in the response room was (1.18 ± 0.29) ug/mL, and the bispectral index of anesthesia EEG was (79.65 ± 6.84). Compared with the control group, the differences were significant after statistical software analysis (P<0.05). At 5 minutes after operation, the heart rate (91.58 ± 5.82) times/min, blood oxygen saturation (93.28 ± 6.34)%, and mean arterial pressure (80.35 ± 5.85) mmHg were observed in the observation group. Compared with the control group, the mean arterial pressure in the observation group was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: propofol can improve the sedative effect, reduce the influence of anesthesia, surgery and other operations on the hemodynamics of children during the induction period of pediatric anesthesia, and has high drug safety, which is worthy of promotion.展开更多

Methods: With approval from the local ethics committee and parental informed consent, 75 children undergoing minor surgery were investigated in this prospective observational study. Patients were divided into three groups: group 1 was aged two to three years old, group 2 was aged four to six years old and group 3 was aged from seven to ten years old. The following three characteristics were evaluated: 1) the pulse rate at four points (the ward, the entrance at the operating room, mask notification and the mask fit);2) the behavioral score in the operating room;3) the amount of pain killers after the operation. Results: In group 1 (N = 20), there was a significant difference between the control group and the video assisted group regarding the percentage change in pulse rate based on the children’s ward when the patients looked at the mask. In group 2 (N = 26), there was no significant difference regarding any points. In group 3 (N = 29), there was a significant difference between control and video assisted group regarding the percentage change in pulse rate based on the children’s ward for all points. Also, regarding to the behavioral score, there was a significant difference between the control group and the video assisted group of all ages. However, there was no significant difference regarding the use of NSAIDs in the postoperative period between the control and the video assisted group. Conclusion: These results show that the video assisted anesthesia induction is effective for pediatric patients.展开更多
