Perioperative surgical home: a new scope for future anesthesiology

Min A Kwon

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):175-181.

The health care system is changing from ‘pay for volume’ to ‘pay for value.’ These changes are turning health care delivery into a more cost-effective and coordinated care setup that drives hospitals to lower costs and greater quality gains. The present perioperative care service in Korea has proven to be...

Survival analysis: Part I — analysis of time-to-event

Junyong In, Dong Kyu Lee

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):182-191.

Length of time is a variable often encountered during data analysis. Survival analysis provides simple, intuitive results concerning time-to-event for events of interest, which are not confined to death. This review introduces methods of analyzing time-to-event. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression modeling method are...

Moving anesthesiology educational resources to the point of care: experience with a pediatric anesthesia mobile app

Katherine S. Monroe, Michael A. Evans, Shivani G. Mukkamala, Julie L. Williamson, Craig S. Jabaley, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):192-200.

Background: Educators in all disciplines recognize the need to update tools for the modern learner. Mobile applications (apps) may be useful, but real-time data is needed to demonstrate the patterns...

Effects of nefopam on catheter-related bladder discomfort in patients undergoing ureteroscopic litholapaxy

Yong Woo Cheon, Seon Hwan Kim, Jin Hyub Paek, Jin A Kim, Yong Kyung Lee, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):201-206.

Background: Patients who undergo urinary catheterization may experience postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD). Previous studies have indicated that drugs with antimuscarinic effects could reduce the incidence and severity of CRBD. Accordingly, this study was carried out to investigate whether nefopam, a centrally acting analgesic with concomitant antimuscarinic effect, reduces the...

Hypercapnia does not shorten emergence time from propofol anesthesia: a pilot randomized clinical study

Ki-hyug Kwon, Hansu Bae, Hyun Gu Kang, Junyong In

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):207-212.

Background: The elimination of anesthetic agents is a decisive factor in the emergence from general anesthesia. In this pilot study, we hypothesized that hypercapnia would decrease the emergence time from propofol anesthesia by increasing cardiac output and cerebral blood flow. Methods: A total of 32 patients were randomly divided into two...

The effects of adjuvant intrathecal fentanyl on postoperative pain and rebound pain for anorectal surgery under saddle anesthesia

Sung-Min Shim, Jae-Ho Park, Dong-Min Hyun, Eui-Kyun Jeong, Seong-Su Kim, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):213-219.

Background: Intrathecal opioid has been known to enhance the quality and prolong the duration of spinal anesthesia, as well as to reduce postoperative pain. The purpose of this study was...

Intrathecal levobupivacaine versus bupivacaine for inguinal hernia surgery: a randomized controlled trial

Ajay Singh, Anshu Gupta, Priyankar Kumar Datta, Maitree Pandey

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):220-225.

Background: Levobupivacaine is an attractive alternative to racemic bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia due to the lower potential for cardio-toxicity and faster recovery profile. This study was designed to compare isobaric levobupivacaine with hyperbaric racemic bupivacaine with respect to intraoperative quality of anesthesia and the postoperative recovery profile in patients undergoing...

Postoperative infusion of a low dose of dexmedetomidine reduces intravenous consumption of sufentanil in patient-controlled analgesia

Dae-eun Kweon, Youngbin Koo, Seonyi Lee, Kumhee Chung, Sowoon Ahn, et al.

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(3):226-231.

Background: Combining adjunctive medications with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) has been used to minimize opioid related side-effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether postoperative infusion of a sub-sedative...
