Sedación inhalada / Volatil sedation

Abril 20, 2018. No. 3057
Sedación volátil en terapia intensiva. Revisión sistemática y meta-análisis
Volatile sedation in the intensive care unit: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore). 2017 Dec;96(49):e8976. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000008976.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Volatile sedation in the intensive care unit (ICU) may reduce the number of adverse events and improve patient outcomes compared with intravenous (IV) sedation. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the effects of volatile and IV sedation in adult ICU patients. ..... CONCLUSION: Compared with IV sedation, volatile sedation administered through an ACD in the ICU shortened the awakening and extubation times. Considering the difference in serum troponin levels between both arms, volatile anesthetics might have a myocardial protective effect after cardiac surgery even at a subanesthetic dose. Because the included studies used small sample sizes with high heterogeneity, further large, high-quality prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm our findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Inhalation agents are being used in place of intravenous agents to provide sedation in some intensive care units. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective randomized controlled trials, which compared the use of volatile agents versus intravenous midazolam or propofol in critical care units. METHODS: A search was conducted using MEDLINE (1946-2015), EMBASE (1947-2015), Web of Science index (1900-2015), and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials comparing inhaled volatile (desflurane, sevoflurane, and isoflurane) sedation to intravenous midazolam or propofol. Primary outcome assessed the effect of volatile-based sedation on extubation times (time between discontinuing sedation and tracheal extubation). Secondary outcomes included time to obey verbal commands, proportion of time spent in target sedation, nausea and vomiting, mortality, length of intensive care unit, and length of hospital stay. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I statistic. Outcomes were assessed using a random or fixed-effects model depending on heterogeneity. RESULTS: Eight trials with 523 patients comparing all volatile agents with intravenous midazolam or propofol showed a reduction in extubation times using volatile agents (difference in means, -52.7 minutes; 95% confidence interval [CI], -75.1 to -30.3; P < .00001). Reductions in extubation time were greater when comparing volatiles with midazolam (difference in means, -292.2 minutes; 95% CI, -384.4 to -200.1; P < .00001) than propofol (difference in means, -29.1 minutes; 95% CI, -46.7 to -11.4; P = .001). There was no significant difference in time to obey verbal commands, proportion of time spent in target sedation, adverse events, death, or length of hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS: Volatile-based sedation demonstrates a reduction in time to extubation, with no increase in short-term adverse outcomes. Marked study heterogeneity was present, and the results show marked positive publication bias. However, a reduction in extubation time was still evident after statistical correction of publication bias. Larger clinical trials are needed to further evaluate the role of these agents as sedatives for critically ill patients.

Rabdomiólisis de esfuerzo e insolación: tenga cuidado con la sedación anestésica volátil.
Exertional rhabdomyolysis and heat stroke: Beware of volatile anesthetic sedation.
World J Crit Care Med. 2017 Feb 4;6(1):21-27. doi: 10.5492/wjccm.v6.i1.21. eCollection 2017 Feb 4.
Abstract
In view of the enormous popularity of mass sporting events such as half-marathons, the number of patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis or exercise-induced heat stroke admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) has increased over the last decade. Because these patients have been reported to be at risk for malignant hyperthermia during general anesthesia, the intensive care community should bear in mind that the same risk of life-threatening rhabdomyolysis is present when these patients are admitted to an ICU, and volatile anesthetic sedation is chosen as the sedative technique. As illustrated by the three case studies we elaborate upon, a thorough diagnostic work-up is needed to clarify the subsequent risk of strenuous exercise, and the anesthetic exposure to volatile agents in these patients and their families. Other contraindications for the use of volatile intensive care sedation consist of known malignant hyperthermia susceptibility, congenital myopathies, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and intracranial hypertension.

Anestésicos volátiles halogenados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos: conocimiento actual sobre una práctica próxima.
Halogenated volatile anesthetics in the intensive care unit: current knowledge on an upcoming practice.

Abstract
The aim of this narrative review was to highlight key points of volatile anesthetics administration in the intensive care unit (ICU), including AnaConDa® and Mirus® devices characteristics and the reported findings on clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. Intravenous sedation in the ICU is associated with issues, such as over- and under-sedation. Halogenated compounds, which can be safely administered by inserting a device in any ICU ventilation circuit, have interesting pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles for patients with multi-organ failure. Moreover, analysis of the concentration of exhaled volatile compounds could help evaluation of sedation depth. A recent meta-analysis confirmed that rapid washout of the volatile anesthetics improved both extubation readiness and quality of awakening when compared to intravenous sedation. When administered for a long period, volatile anesthetics improved sedation stability with fewer dose adjustments. Pre- and post-conditioning properties of halogenated compounds are interesting and long-term exposition to this compound is investigated for a potential impact on mortality rate and ICU/hospital length of stay. For now, psychomotor side effects have been reported, mostly in infants, but there were no hepatic or renal injuries. Findings regarding hemodynamic stability are conflicting. Apart from sedation, volatile anesthetics were therapeutic in case reports of status asthmaticus and epilepticus and data are cumulating for benefits in cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome. According to current literature, they should be withheld in cerebral injury. To summarize, the use of volatile anesthetics for sedation is yet only approved by German guidelines, but could spread due to its potential benefits.

Anestesia en el espacio / Anesthesia in space

Abril 17, 2018. No. 3054
Anestesia en ambientes austeros: revisión de literatura y consideraciones para futuras misiones de exploración espacial.
Anaesthesia in austere environments: literature review and considerations for future space exploration missions.
NPJ Microgravity. 2018 Feb 23;4:5. doi: 10.1038/s41526-018-0039-y. eCollection 2018.
Abstract
Future space exploration missions will take humans far beyond low Earth orbit and require complete crew autonomy. The ability to provide anaesthesia will be important given the expected risk of severe medical events requiring surgery. Knowledge and experience of such procedures during space missions is currently extremely limited. Austere and isolated environments (such as polar bases or submarines) have been used extensively as test beds for spaceflight to probe hazards, train crews, develop clinical protocols and countermeasures for prospective space missions. We have conducted a literature review on anaesthesia in austere environments relevant to distant space missions. In each setting, we assessed how the problems related to the provision of anaesthesia (e.g., medical kit and skills) are dealt with or prepared for. We analysed how these factors could be applied to the unique environment of a space exploration mission. The delivery of anaesthesia will be complicated by many factors including space-induced physiological changes and limitations in skills and equipment. The basic principles of a safe anaesthesia in an austere environment (appropriate training, presence of minimal safety and monitoring equipment, etc.) can be extended to the context of a space exploration mission. Skills redundancy is an important safety factor, and basic competency in anaesthesia should be part of the skillset of several crewmembers. The literature suggests that safe and effective anaesthesia could be achieved by a physician during future space exploration missions. In a life-or-limb situation, non-physicians may be able to conduct anaesthetic procedures, including simplified general anaesthesia.

Intubation after rapid sequence induction performed by non-medical personnel during space exploration missions: a simulation pilot study in a Mars analogue environment.
Extrem Physiol Med. 2015 Nov 1;4:19. doi: 10.1186/s13728-015-0038-5. eCollection 2015.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The question of the safety of anaesthetic procedures performed by non anaesthetists or even by non physicians has long been debated. We explore here this question in the hypothetical context of an exploration mission to Mars. During future interplanetary spacemissions, the risk of medical conditions requiring surgery and anaesthetic techniques will be significant. On Earth, anaesthesia is generally performed by well accustomed personnel. During exploration missions, onboard medical expertise might be lacking, or the crew doctor could become ill or injured. Telemedical assistance will not be available. In these conditions and as a last resort, personnel with limited medical training may have to perform lifesaving procedures, which could include anaesthesia and surgery. The objective of this pilot study was to test the ability for unassisted personnel with no medical training to perform oro-tracheal intubation after a rapid sequence induction on a simulated deconditioned astronaut in a Mars analogue environment. The experiment made use of a hybrid simulation model, in which the injured astronaut was represented by a torso manikin, whose vital signs and hemodynamic status were emulated using a patient simulator software. Only assisted by an interactive computer tool (PowerPoint(®) presentation), five participants with no previous medical training completed a simplified induction of general anaesthesia with intubation. RESULTS: No major complication occurred during the simulated trials, namely no cardiac arrest, no hypoxia, no cardiovascular collapse and no failure to intubate. The study design was able to reproduce many of the constraints of a space exploration mission. CONCLUSIONS: Unassisted personnel with minimal medical training and familiarization with the equipment may be able to perform advanced medical care in a safe and efficient manner. Further studies integrating this protocol into a complete anaesthetic and surgical scenario will provide valuable input in designing health support systems for space exploration missions.
