It is easily accessible but contains several sources of potential error in measurement. The solutions using peripheral pulse wave include measurement of nociception, saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure among several other parameters. Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) is a novel algorithm for measuring intraoperative nociception. It combines the normalized plethysmographic amplitude and heart rate as one number indicating nociception and has been used intraoperatively to guide opioid administration. Although several studies have shown the reactivity of SPI to nociceptive stimulus, the evidence in guiding opioid administration is still scarce. Nor have such studies been accomplished on very small children. A typical site to measure SPI and other peripheral pulse wave parameters is the fingers. However, the measurement at the fingers is susceptible to artifacts caused by movement, vasoconstriction or hypothermia. A watch-like device at the distal forearm would offer a better and more convenient fixation for the measurements. Furthermore, there is some evidence that the forearm might be a better place for respiratory rate measurement using the same technology. There is at present no reliable method to measure blood pressure using plethysmography, but a wrist device with a tonometry sensor added would be one option to add that information, too. The aim of this thesis was to study new ways to utilize the peripheral pulse wave. The technologies used were plethysmography (Studies I, II and IV) and applanation tonometry (Study III) Study I was a randomized multi-center controlled trial with 494 patients. Patients were anesthetized using either standard monitoring (control group) or standard monitoring with additional monitoring of the depth of anesthesia (EntropyTM) and nociception (SPI) (test group). In this study we found no difference in the rate of signs of inadequate anesthesia. At the secondary endpoints, the time to eye-opening showed a trend in favor of the test group. In Study II the reactivity of the SPI was studied in thirty children aged less than two years. Children were randomized and double-blinded into two groups with either functional peripheral block or a placebo injection during surgery. SPI and its components were recorded blinded using a software and the time points of interest were analyzed post hoc. SPI was found to be reactive in small children and the reactivity was blunted by the use of peripheral local anesthetic block. However, the reactivity of SPI was rather small and there was marked inter-individual variability in reactions. The data for Studies III-IV was collected simultaneously. Thirty patients were monitored during postoperative care for two hours as an observation study. The data were collected using a study device attached around the distal forearm. Study III reported the measurement of non-invasive blood pressure using tonometry compared to invasive blood pressure monitoring. The blood pressure readings were found to be unacceptably inaccurate. Furthermore, the rate of failed measurements was rather high (22%). Factors affecting rate of failure consisted of movement and peripheral arterial disease. In Study IV the reliability of heart rate, respiratory rate, and saturation measurement at the distal forearm using a plethysmography sensor was compared to standard monitoring from finger plethysmography (saturation and heart rate) or impedance pneumography (respiratory rate). There was a small bias in heart rate, respiratory rate, and saturation measurements when compared to standard monitoring. However, the accuracy described by root-mean-square-error (RMSE) was unacceptably high for respiratory rate and saturation while heart rate was detected with good accuracy. Movement was associated with higher RMSE. In conclusion, the monitoring of SPI and Entropy was not associated with better management of anesthesia in a large multicenter study. Time to eye- opening was slightly shorter in the test group when compared to control group. In small children SPI seems to be similarly reactive as in adults in spite of wide inter-individual variability in reactions. A higher baseline and smaller amplitude of change when compared to adults suggest that a modification of the algorithm might be needed before introducing the index for use with small children. The measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, and saturation at the distal forearm was unacceptably inaccurate, while respiratory rate yielded slightly better results. Blood pressure measurement especially seems to be highly sensitive to movement, also at the distal forearm. Accuracy therefore needs to be improved before adopting the technologies for patient monitoring.

  • Using Entropy in the General Anesthesia Managements
    Research Article Clinics in Surgery Published: 07 Jul, 2017 Using Entropy in the General Anesthesia Managements Elif Büyükerkmen, Remziye Gül Sivaci and Elif Doğan Baki* Departement of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Afyon Kocatepe University, Afyonkarahisar, Turkey Abstract Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effects of three general anesthesic management on depth of anesthesia, anesthesic quality, agent consumption and postoperative recovery. Materials and Methods: 90 patients scheduled for elective tympanoplasty and septoplasty surgery with American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) pysical status between I-III were included in this study. Neuromuscular transmission (NMT), surgical pleth index (SPI) and entropy were monitorized in addition to standart monitoring. Entropy was recorded as state entropy (SE) and response entropy (RE). After standart anesthesia induction, patients were divided into three groups according to maintenance of anesthesia using a sealed envelope system. Propofol 3-5 mg/kg/h iv infusion was performed to Group 1 (Group P, n=30), Desflurane 1MAC was used to Group 2 (Group D, n=30) and Sevoflurane to Group 3 (Group S, n=30). Also, rocuronium and remifentanyl infusion were used in maintenance. While desflurane and sevoflurane consumption were recorded from the anesthesia directly, propofol consumption was calculated through the consumption of perfusors and recorded at the end of the surgery. Total cost of anesthetics that used were calculated by multiplying the unit price with their consumption. Apart from these, hemodynamic values of all patients, recovery time, alertness levels in the recovery room (according to Ramsey Scale) were recorded. Results: Significant differences were found between the three groups in terms of cost. While the cost of propofol was significantly lower, it was significantly higher in desfluane group.

    INHALATIONAL ANAESTHETIC AGENTS (a) To describe the principles of vaporisation of inhalational agents. Overview of inhaled anaesthetic agents: - Volatile anaesthetic agents (Eg. desflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, Etc.) are volatile liquids that require vaporisation into vapours to achieve GA - N2O and Xe are true gases (Ie. do not need vaporisation) to achieve GA Note – Gas and vapour are defined based upon a substance in gaseous state with respect to its “critical temperature” (temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied by pressure alone): - Gas → defined as a substance in a gaseous state when ambient temperature is ABOVE its critical temperature - Vapour → defined as a substance in a gaseous state when ambient temperature is AT or BELOW its critical temperature Physical principles in process of vaporisation: - “Latent heat of vaporisation” o Defined as energy required to convert a substance from a liquid to gaseous phase o With liquid cooling (Ie. liquid evaporation in a vaporiser) → latent heat of vaporisation ↑↑↑ → this means more energy is needed to vapourise a liquid → this poses an issue with vaporisers o This is issue is circumvented by constructing vaporisers from metals with a high thermal conductivity (Ie. heat is able to flow through substance easily) → allows heat flow form atmosphere into liquid volatile agent to supply external energy for “latent heat of vaporisaiton” - “Saturated vapour pressure” (SVP) of a volatile anaesthetic: o Defined as the partial pressure exerted by the vapour phase when in equilibrium with the liquid phase (Ie. when equal # molecules is leaving and entering each phase per unit time) o It is dependent on: .

  • Monitoring the Depth of Anaesthesia Using the New Modified Entropy Sensors During Supratentorial Craniotomy: Our Experience
    Original Article Monitoring the depth of anaesthesia using the new modified entropy sensors during supratentorial craniotomy: Our experience Richa Sharma, Pirjo Manninen, Lashmikumar Venkatraghavan Abstract Background: Monitoring the depth of anaesthesia can be a challenge in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy because the conventional sensors for both bispectral index and entropy monitors lose their contact with a brain after scalp elevation. The new sensors for the entropy monitor are more flexible and can be placed in different locations. The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility on the use of new GE entropy sensors in monitoring depth of anaesthesia in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data from 20 consecutive patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy who had the monitoring of the depth of anaesthesia using modified entropy sensors. Prior to the induction of anaesthesia, the new GE entropy sensor (P/N M1038681) was applied in a modified fashion. We measured the state entropy (SE) and response entropy (RE) at 12 perioperative time points. Entropy values were compared with the clinical indices of depth of anaesthesia. Results: Data from 20 consecutive patients (orbitozygomatic craniotomy [10] and bifrontal craniotomy [10]) were analysed. Monitoring was possible in all the patients. The changes in entropy values correlated with clinical indices of depth of anaesthesia. However, some patients showed variations in absolute values (RE and SE) during the intraoperative period without any changes in the level of anaesthetic depth. Conclusions: Monitoring the depth of anaesthesia is feasible with the use of new entropy sensors in patients undergoing supratentorial craniotomy. In contrast to standard sensors, the new sensors offer flexibility with the placement.

Received: 1 September 2010; in revised form: 29 September 2010 / Accepted: 22 November 2010 / Published: 3 December 2010 Abstract: One of the current challenges in medicine is monitoring the patients’ depth of general anaesthesia (DGA). Accurate assessment of the depth of anaesthesia contributes to tailoring drug administration to the individual patient, thus preventing awareness or excessive anaesthetic depth and improving patients’ outcomes. In the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the number of studies on the development, comparison and validation of commercial devices that estimate the DGA by analyzing electrical activity of the brain (i.e., evoked potentials or brain waves). In this paper we review the most frequently used sensors and mathematical methods for monitoring the DGA, their validation in clinical practice and discuss the central question of whether these approaches can, compared to other conventional methods, reduce the risk of patient awareness during surgical procedures.
