Traumatic injury of the digital nerve by snow shoveling—Rie Haga, Chieko Murakami, Masayuki Baba (Aomori Prefectual Central Hospital, Aomori, Japan) We presented a case with traumatic injury of the median palmar digital nerve by snow shoveling. A woman aged 74 visited us for three month-history of numbness and dysesthetic pain in the left index finger and thumb after snow shoveling. On examination, there was hypoesthesia on the palm side of the left index finger and thumb. Tinel sign was positive by percussion to the upper edge of the thenar eminence. The left median motor conduction to the abductor pollicis brevis muscle was normal. Compound sensory action potentials recorded from the left thumb and the index finger were around 5 lV, both distinctively reduced compared with those from the left middle and ring fingers, 27 and 18 lV, respectively. Inching records of the sensory potential from the index finger by electric stimulation with successive decrement by one cm from the wrist demonstrated prolonged conduction time more than 0.7 ms at the particular segment including the Tinel sign point: all other segments had normal conduction time of around 0.3 ms. These findings indicated the focal demyelination and Wallerian degeneration at the site of the injury. doi:10.1016/j.clinph.2011.01.013 2. Compound nerve action potential (CNAP) study is a useful examination for evaluating muscle afferent Ia fibers—Keisuke Abe, Tadashi Kanouchi, Teruhiko Sekiguchi, Hidehiro Mizusawa, Takanori Yokota (Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan) The aim of this study was to investigate whether CNAP is useful tool for evaluation of Ia fiber conduction. The conventional sensory nerve conduction study recording the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) gives us the information of only the cutaneous afferents but not about the muscle afferents. We tried to use CNAP of the median nerve for evaluating muscle afferent. The median nerves of seven patients with sensory neuropathy and 4 normal subjects were studied. CNAPs was clearly recorded in all patients with inexcitable SNAP as well as normal subjects. The velocity of CNAP was faster than those of SNAP and CMAP (compound muscle action potential) in the same segment in all normal subjects. The CNAPs in three of 5 patients with no SNAP evoked were obviously faster than the CMAPs. In three patients whose SNAP was evoked, the CNAPs were the fastest among the three responses. Because the conduction velocity of CNAP is determined by that of Ia fiber in normal subjects, CNAP study has the potential to evaluate Ia fiber conduction. Furthermore, in patients with severe sensory neuropathy showing inexcitable SNAP, CNAP study is expected to be an only and new examination for sensory nerve function. doi:10.1016/j.clinph.2011.01.014 3. Comparison in placement location of disposable surface electrode in antidromic sensory nerve conduction study—Kenji Sekiguchi, Toko Miyawaki, Mariko Takata, Akihiro Nomura, Ichiro Yokota, Yoshihisa Otsuka, Naoko Yasui, Horotoshi Hamaguchi, Hisatomo Kowa, Fumio Kanda, Tatsushi Toda (Department of Neurology, Kobe University, Kobe, Japan) Although the ring electrodes generally used in antidromic sensory nerve conduction study of hand, disposable surface electrode is frequently used in recent years and there are many advantages in terms of infection control and usability. However, there are no reports of investigation in optimal location of electrode placement. Antidromic median nerve sensory conduction study was performed in 20 hands of 10 healthy subjects. We made comparison with each measurement of disposable surface electrodes placed at various locations and ring electrodes. The latency and the amplitude delivered by disposable surface electrode placed on midline volar aspect of index finger showed no significant difference compared to using a ring electrodes. In case of surface electrode placement on the radial aspect of index finger, lower amplitude and shorter latency were doi:10.1016/j.clinph.2011.01.012 ⇑ Corresponding author.

Attention should be paid to the dose of propofol during target-controlled infusion

Target-controlled infusion (TCI) is useful for anesthetic management using propofol because a TCI system can automatically adjust the dose to keep the predicted concentration of propofol at the target concentration that was input into the TCI system by an anesthesiologist. However, human error such as inputting incorrect weight can cause administration of propofol at an inappropriate dose. Therefore, attention should be paid to whether the dose is appropriate or inappropriate against a target concentration. We calculated the dose of propofol during TCI with 3 μg/mL of the target propofol concentration and found that the dose converged to 4.884 (mg/kg/h) and that the dose can be calculated in many periods by multiplying the target concentration (μg/mL) by 1.7-2.3. Since the concentration of propofol depends on only the dose independent of personal characteristics, the dose that should be administered (mg/kg/h) can be estimated by doubling the target concentration (μg/mL) and we should therefore repeatedly confirm that the appropriate dose is being administered.

PRESENTATION AT THE CONFERENCE Presented at The Annual Meeting of Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists, Yokohama, June 12, 2008. TO THE EDITOR A target-controlled infusion (TCI) system is very convenient because a syringe pump with a built-in Diprifusor (AstraZeneca, London, UK) can adjust the propofol dose by means of just inputting the expected target concentration of propofol during anesthetic management after inputting the patient’s characteristics such as weight and age before starting administration. However, confirmation of matching dose with predicted plasma concentration (Cp) displayed on the syringe pump is thought to be always necessary for preventing human errors such as inputting incorrect weight. We calculated the predicted Cp using TIVAtrainer (available at: http://www.eurosiva.org/; accessed on May 1, 2010) with Marsh’s parameter [1] when it was assumed that propofol was administered using TCI with 3 μg/mL of the target concentration in a 40-year-old male with a height of 170 cm and weight of 70 kg (Figure 1). The dose converged to approximately 4.884 mg/kg/h under the above conditions. Figure 1 Figure 1. Target plasma concentration and dose of propofol with time. The patient is assumed to be a 40-year-old male with a height of 170 cm and weight of 70 kg. Propofol dose decreases with time during administration of propofol at the target plasma concentration of 3 μg/mL and converges to approximately 4.884 mg/kg/h. Cp: plasma concentration, prop: propofol. Attention should be paid to the dose of propofol during target-controlled infusion 2 of 3 Cp of intravenous anesthetics in a steady state can be predicted using the following equation [2]:
