Caudal and epidural blocks in infants and small children: historical perspective and ultrasound-guided approaches

Hae Keum Kil

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(6):430-439.

In infants and small children, ultrasound (US) guidance provides ample anatomical information to perform neuraxial blocks. We can measure the distance from the skin to the epidural space in the US image and can refer to it during needle insertion. We may also visualize the needle or a catheter during...

Comparison between cerebral state index and bispectral index during desflurane anesthesia

Sang-Hyeon Cho, Sung-Su Kim, Dong-Min Hyun, Hyeong-Suk Yoon, Jung-Woo Han, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(6):447-452.

Background: Cerebral state index (CSI) is an anesthesia depth monitor alternative to bispectral index (BIS). Published comparative studies have used propofol or sevoflurane. However, studies using desflurane have not been reported yet. Different volatile anesthetics have different electroencephalography signatures. The performance of CSI may be different in desflurane anesthesia. Therefore,...

Validity and reliability of the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire

Jun Ho Lee, Deokkyu Kim, Donghak Seo, Ji-seon Son, Dong-Chan Kim

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(6):467-475.

Background: The Quality of Recovery-40 (QoR-40) is a widely-used, self-rated, and self-completed questionnaire for postoperative patients. The questionnaire is intended to elicit information from each patient regarding the quality of recovery during the postoperative period. It is noteworthy, however, that an official Korean version of the QoR-40 (QoR-40K) has not...

Effects of adenosine receptor agonist on the rocuroniuminduced neuromuscular block and sugammadex-induced recovery

Yong Beom Kim, Sangseok Lee, Hey Ran Choi, Junyong In, Young Jin Chang, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(6):476-482.

Background: Several types of receptors are found at neuromuscular presynaptic membranes. Presynaptic inhibitory A1 and facilitatory A2A receptors mediate different modulatory functions on acetylcholine release. This study investigated whether adenosine A1 receptor agonist contributes to the first twitch tension (T1) of train-of-four (TOF) stimulation depression and TOF fade during rocuronium-induced...
