Abstract
Ciprofol (HSK3486) is a newly developed, highly selective γ-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor potentiator that is recently approved for a new indication of sedation for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) in China. This analysis aimed to characterize the population pharmacokinetics (PopPKs) of ciprofol and evaluate the relationship of exposure with hypotension in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. A total of 462 subjects with 3918 concentration measurements from two clinical trials of mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, four clinical trials of elective surgical patients, and six clinical trials of healthy subjects were used in the PopPK analysis. Exposure-safety relationship for hypotension was evaluated based on the data gathered from 112 subjects in two clinical trials of mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU. Ciprofol pharmacokinetics (PKs) was adequately described by a three-compartment linear disposition model with first-order elimination. Body weight, age, sex, blood sampling site (vein vs. arterial), study design (long-term infusion vs. short-term infusion), and patient population (ICU vs. non-ICU) were identified as statistically significant covariates on the PKs of ciprofol. Within the exposure range of the mechanically ventilated ICU patient population, no meaningful association was observed between ciprofol exposure and the incidence of hypotension. These results support the dosing regimen currently used in mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the precise induction dose, an objective assessment of individual propofol sensitivity is necessary. This study aimed to investigate whether preinduction electroencephalogram (EEG) data are useful in determining the optimal propofol dose for the induction of general anesthesia in healthy adult patients. METHODS Seventy healthy adult patients underwent total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), and the effect-site target concentration of propofol was observed to measure each individual's propofol requirements for loss of responsiveness. We analyzed preinduction EEG data to assess its relationship with propofol requirements and conducted multiple regression analyses considering various patient-related factors. RESULTS Patients with higher relative delta power (ρ = 0.47, p < 0.01) and higher absolute delta power (ρ = 0.34, p = 0.01) required a greater amount of propofol for anesthesia induction. In contrast, patients with higher relative beta power (ρ = -0.33, p < 0.01) required less propofol to achieve unresponsiveness. Multiple regression analysis revealed an independent association between relative delta power and propofol requirements. CONCLUSION Preinduction EEG, particularly relative delta power, is associated with propofol requirements during the induction of general anesthesia. The utilization of preinduction EEG data may improve the precision of induction dose selection for individuals.

Abstract
Efficiently finding covariate model structures that minimize the need for random effects to describe pharmacological data is challenging. The standard approach focuses on identification of relevant covariates, and present methodology lacks tools for automatic identification of covariate model structures. Although neural networks could potentially be used to approximate covariate-parameter relationships, such approximations are not human-readable and come at the risk of poor generalizability due to high model complexity.In the present study, a novel methodology for the simultaneous selection of covariate model structure and optimization of its parameters is proposed. It is based on symbolic regression, posed as an optimization problem with a smooth loss function. This enables training of the model through back-propagation using efficient gradient computations.Feasibility and effectiveness are demonstrated by application to a clinical pharmacokinetic data set for propofol, containing infusion and blood sample time series from 1031 individuals. The resulting model is compared to a published state-of-the-art model for the same data set. Our methodology finds a covariate model structure and corresponding parameter values with a slightly better fit, while relying on notably fewer covariates than the state-of-the-art model. Unlike contemporary practice, finding the covariate model structure is achieved without an iterative procedure involving manual interactions.

Abstract
We report a simple method for adjusting the weight input of the Marsh target-controlled infusion (TCI) model such that the resulting infusion regime closely mimics the behaviour of the Eleveld model, thereby making the Marsh model more precise for patients at the extremes of age and body mass index. To assess the performance of our method, we simulated 2768 subjects with diverse combinations of age, weight, height and sex undergoing a hypothetical four-hour propofol TCI using both the Marsh model with our weight adjustment and the Eleveld model. The weight adjusted Marsh model produced infusion regimes and corresponding effect site concentrations closely mimicking that of the Eleveld model at all time points, with median and maximum absolute performance errors less than 8.1% and 20.3%, respectively, across the entire cohort. Our weight adjustment method is a simple and robust way of improving the precision of the Marsh model in patients at extremes of age and body mass index, until general purpose TCI models for propofol, such as the Eleveld model, become more widely available in commercial infusion pumps.

Abstract
Inter-individual variability in Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) models significantly affects the accuracy of Target Controlled Infusion and closed-loop control of anesthesia. We hypothesize that the novel Eleveld PK model captures more inter-individual variability relevant to both open-loop and closed-loop control design, resulting in reduced variability in PD models identified using the Eleveld PK model's plasma prediction compared to the Schuttler or Schnider PK model. We used a dataset of propofol infusion rates and Depth of Hypnosis measurements across three demographic groups: elderly, obese, and adult. PD models are identified based on plasma concentration prediction using three PK models (Schuttler, Schnider, and Eleveld). Validation methods are presented to confirm acceptable predictive performance and comparable PK-PD model variability within each demographic group. To test our hypothesis, we compared coefficient variations in step responses for open-loop control and multiplicative uncertainty of PD model sets for closed-loop control. Validated PKPD models using the Schuttler and Schnider PK model showed no significant differences in predictive response and multiplicative uncertainty compared to the Eleveld PK model. The coefficient variations in step responses of PD model sets and the frequency ranges, corresponding to uncertainty below one, were comparable for all three PK models. The comparison of the accumulated coefficient of variation in the step-response and the uncertainty of the PD model sets indicated that the Eleveld PK model does not offer any advantage for the design of open-loop or closed-loop control of anesthesia.

Abstract
Propofol's pharmacokinetics have been extensively studied using human blood samples and applied to target-controlled infusion systems; however, information on its concentration in the brain remains scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to simultaneously measure propofol plasma and brain concentrations in patients who underwent awake craniotomy and establish new pharmacokinetic model. Fifty-seven patients with brain tumors or brain lesions who underwent awake craniotomy were sequentially assigned to model-building and validating groups. Plasma and brain (lobectomy or uncapping margins) samples were collected at five time-points. The concentration of propofol was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was conducted through a nonlinear mixed-effects modeling program using a first-order conditional estimation method with interactions. Propofol's brain concentrations were higher than its plasma concentrations. The measured brain concentrations were higher than the effect site concentrations using the previous models. Extended models were constructed based on measured concentrations by incorporating the brain/plasma partition coefficient (Kp value). Extended models showed good predictive accuracy for brain concentrations in the validating group. The Kp value functioned as a factor explaining retention in the brain. Our new pharmacokinetic models and Kp value can predict propofol's brain and plasma concentrations, contributing to safer and more stable anesthesia.

Abstract
Elderly and multimorbid patients are at high risk for developing unfavorable postoperative neurocognitive outcomes; however, well-adjusted and EEG-guided anesthesia may help titrate anesthesia and improve postoperative outcomes. Over the last decade, dexmedetomidine has been increasingly used as an adjunct in the perioperative setting. Its synergistic effect with propofol decreases the dose of propofol needed to induce and maintain general anesthesia. In this pilot study, we evaluate two highly standardized anesthetic regimens for their potential to prevent burst suppression and postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction in a high-risk population. Prospective, randomized clinical trial with non-blinded intervention. Operating room and post anesthesia care unit at Hospital Base San José, Osorno/Universidad Austral, Valdivia, Chile. 23 patients with scheduled non-neurologic, non-cardiac surgeries with age > 69 years and a planned intervention time > 60 min. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either a propofol-remifentanil based anesthesia or an anesthetic regimen with dexmedetomidine-propofol-remifentanil. All patients underwent a slow titrated induction, followed by a target controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and remifentanil (n = 10) or propofol, remifentanil and continuous dexmedetomidine infusion (n = 13). We compared the perioperative EEG signatures, drug-induced changes, and neurocognitive outcomes between two anesthetic regimens in geriatric patients. We conducted a pre- and postoperative Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCa) test and measured the level of alertness postoperatively using a sedation agitation scale to assess neurocognitive status. During slow induction, maintenance, and emergence, burst suppression was not observed in either group; however, EEG signatures differed significantly between the two groups. In general, EEG activity in the propofol group was dominated by faster rhythms than in the dexmedetomidine group. Time to responsiveness was not significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.352). Finally, no significant differences were found in postoperative cognitive outcomes evaluated by the MoCa test nor sedation agitation scale up to one hour after extubation. This pilot study demonstrates that the two proposed anesthetic regimens can be safely used to slowly induce anesthesia and avoid EEG burst suppression patterns. Despite the patients being elderly and at high risk, we did not observe postoperative neurocognitive deficits. The reduced alpha power in the dexmedetomidine-treated group was not associated with adverse neurocognitive outcomes.

Abstract
Propofol has been found to have a protective effect against spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the underlying molecular mechanism of propofol regulating SCI process remains unclear. In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced PC12 cells were used to build SCI cell models. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by cell counting kit 8 assay, flow cytometry, and caspase-3 activity detection. The protein levels of apoptosis-related markers and TNFAIP3 interacting protein 2 (TNIP2) were assessed using western blot analysis, and the levels of inflammatory factors were detected using ELISA. Cell oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The expression of microRNA (miR)-672-3p was examined by quantitative real-time PCR. SCI rat models were constructed to assess the effect of propofol in vivo. We found that propofol treatment promoted viability, while inhibited apoptosis, inflammation and oxidative stress of LPS-induced PC12 cells. Propofol decreased miR-672-3p expression, and miR-672-3p overexpression eliminated the inhibiting effect of propofol on LPS-induced PC12 cell injury. Besides, miR-672-3p targeted TNIP2, and TNIP2 knockdown reversed the protective effect of miR-672-3p inhibitor or propofol against LPS-induced PC12 cell injury. In vivo experiments, propofol treatment enhanced the motor function recovery and inhibited apoptosis of SCI rat models. In conclusion, propofol increased TNIP2 level by reducing miR-672-3p expression, thereby alleviating LPS-induced PC12 cell injury and improving the motor function of SCI rat models.

Abstract
The last 2 decades have brought important developments in anesthetic technology, including robotic anesthesia. Anesthesiologists titrate the administration of pharmacological agents to the patients' physiology and the needs of surgery, using a variety of sophisticated equipment (we use the term "pilots of the human biosphere"). In anesthesia, increased safety seems coupled with increased technology and innovation. This article gives an overview of the technological developments over the past decades, both in terms of pharmacological and mechanical robots, which have laid the groundwork for robotic anesthesia: target-controlled drug infusion systems, closed-loop administration of anesthesia and sedation, mechanical robots for intubation, and the latest development in the world of communication with the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI)-derived chatbots are presented.

Abstract
In this systematic review, the perioperative outcomes of total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and volatile anesthesia were compared in obese adults (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) undergoing elective surgery. The review analyzed data from 12 randomized-controlled trials involving 935 patients, sourced from PubMed/MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online), Cochrane, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The focus was on intraoperative vital signs, emergence time, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), duration of post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, and ICU admission rates. Findings showed that TIVA (using propofol) might reduce PONV, but there were no significant differences in other outcomes compared to volatile anesthesia (with desflurane as the most common agent). The review highlights the need for more research, especially comparing sevoflurane with TIVA, to establish clear clinical guidelines for anesthesia in obese patients.

Abstract
Propofol has been shown to inhibit oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression. However, it is not clear whether propofol mediates OSCC progression through regulating circular RNA (circRNA) network. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to detect circ_0008898, miR-545-3p, and CT10 regulator of kinase-like protein (CRKL) expression. Cell functions were determined using CCK8 assay, Edu staining, MTT assay, transwell assay, wound healing assay, tube formation assay, and flow cytometry. Protein levels were examined by western blot analysis. RNA interaction was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay. Our data showed that propofol repressed OSCC cell proliferation, invasion, migration, angiogenesis, and promoted apoptosis. circ_0008898 was highly expressed in OSCC, and its expression could be decreased by propofol. circ_0008898 silencing aggravated the suppressive effect of propofol on OSCC progression. In the mechanism, circ_0008898 could target miR-545-3p to positively regulate CRKL. MiR-545-3p inhibitor abolished the regulation of circ_0008898 silencing on propofol-mediated OSCC cell progression. MiR-545-3p inhibited the progression of propofol-treated OSCC cells, and this effect was reversed by CRKL overexpression. Also, circ_0008898 knockdown reduced OSCC tumor growth by regulating miR-545-3p/CRKL. In conclusion, propofol suppressed OSCC progression, which was achieved through regulating the circ_0008898/miR-545-3p/CRKL axis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Around 60%-80% of the population suffers from back pain, making it one of the most common health complaints. Transforaminal percutaneous endoscopic discectomy (TPED) is an effective treatment for low back pain that can be performed using different anaesthesia techniques. Our primary objective was to test the hypothesis that bilateral Erector spinae plane block (ESP) plus sedation is equally effective as traditional local infiltration anaesthesia plus sedation in TPED. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two patients undergoing TPED were randomly assigned to 2 groups: G1 - intravenous sedation with local infiltration anaesthesia; G2 - intravenous sedation with bilateral ESP. PRIMARY OUTCOME volume of fentanyl and propofol administered during surgery. SECONDARY OUTCOMES adverse events during sedation reported using the World Society of Intravenous Anaesthesia (SIVA) adverse sedation event tool, level of postoperative sedation measured on the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), intensity of postoperative pain on a visual analogue scale (VAS), mechanical pain threshold (MPT) measured with von Frey monofilaments on both lower extremities, patient satisfaction with analgesia on 5-point Likert scale. RESULTS Volume of fentanyl, propofol, and level of postoperative sedation was significantly lower in G2 (p < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in intensity of pain, patient satisfaction with analgesia, and mechanical pain threshold after surgery. There were no adverse events in G2, but in G1 2 patients presented minimal risk descriptors, 5 presented minor risk descriptors, and 1 presented sentinel risk descriptors that required additional medication or rescue ventilation. CONCLUSIONS The ESP was equal to local infiltration anaesthesia in terms of intensity of pain, mechanical pain threshold after surgery, and patient satisfaction; however, ESP reduced the volume of intraoperative fentanyl and propofol, thereby reducing the adverse effects of sedation.

Abstract
We present a novel Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for the induction phase of anesthesia, incorporating the ψ-Caputo fractional derivative. By employing the Picard iterative process, we derive a solution for a nonhomogeneous ψ-Caputo fractional system to characterize the dynamical behavior of the drugs distribution within a patient's body during the anesthesia process. To explore the dynamics of the fractional anesthesia model, we perform numerical analysis on solutions involving various functions of ψ and fractional orders. All numerical simulations are conducted using the MATLAB computing environment. Our results suggest that the ψ functions and the fractional order of differentiation have an important role in the modeling of individual-specific characteristics, taking into account the complex interplay between drug concentration and its effect on the human body. This innovative model serves to advance the understanding of personalized drug responses during anesthesia, paving the way for more precise and tailored approaches to anesthetic drug administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anesthetic drugs had been reported may impact the bio-behavior of the tumor. Propofol and sevoflurane are common anesthetics in the operation for glioblastoma (GBM). This study aims to establish a co-expression prognostic-related genes signature base on propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia to predict prognosis and immunotherapy response in GBM. METHOD GPM tissues with different anesthetics gene expression profiles (GSE179004) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Core modules and central genes associated with propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia were identified by weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) and establish a risk score prognostic model. Immune cell signature analysis in TCGA datasets was predicted via CIBERSORT. At last, serum methylation level of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter was detected in GPM patient in different time during perioperative period. RESULTS The burlywood1 group screened was significantly associated with sevoflurane-treated GBM tissue. 22 independent prognostic differential genes were construct a prognostic-related genes risk score in GBM, and showed good predictive ability. The risk score was strongly correlated with the age of the patients, but not with the sex of the patients. In addition, the differential responses to immunotherapy in high and low risk groups were analyzed, indicating that sevoflurane signature genes were consistent in the classification of gliomas. High-risk patients have high T-cell damage score and are less sensitive to immunotherapy. At last, serum methylation level of MGMT promoter was decreased in GBM patients during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia associated impact on the gene expression of GBM, included the methylation level of MGMT promoter. Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score prognostic model, which has good prognostic power and is an independent prognostic factor in GBM patients. Therefore, this model can be used as a new biomarker for judging the prognosis of GBM patients.KEY MESSAGESPropofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score prognostic model has good prognostic power and is an independent prognostic factor in GBM patients.High Propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia-based risk score GBM patients have high T-cell damage scores and are less sensitive to immunotherapy.Serum methylation level of MGMT promoter decrease during propofol and sevoflurane anesthesia in GBM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models have been developed to accurately dose propofol administration during total intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion (TIVA-TCI). We aim to clinically compare the performance of the Schnider model and the new and general-purpose Eleveld PK/PD model during TIVA-TCI. METHODS We conducted a prospective observational study at a single center, enrolling 78 female patients, including 37 adults (aged < 65 years) and 41 elderly patients (aged ≥ 65 years). These patients underwent breast surgery with propofol-remifentanil TIVA-TCI guided by the bispectral index (BIS) for depth of anesthesia monitoring (target value 40-60) and the surgical plethysmographic index (SPI) for antinociception monitoring (target value 20-50) without neuromuscular blockade. The concentration at the effect site of propofol (CeP) at loss of responsiveness (LoR) during anesthesia maintenance (MA) and at return of responsiveness (RoR), the duration of surgery and anesthesia (min), the time to RoR (min), the propofol total dose (mg), the deepening of anesthesia events (DAEs), burst suppression events (BSEs), light anesthesia events (LAEs) and unwanted spontaneous responsiveness events (USREs) were considered to compare the two PK/PD models. RESULTS Patients undergoing BIS-SPI-guided TIVA-TCI with the Eleveld PK/PD model showed a lower CeP at LoR (1.7 (1.36-2.25) vs. 3.60 (3.00-4.18) μg/mL, p < 0.001), higher CePMA (2.80 (2.55-3.40) vs. 2.30 (1.80-2.50) μg/mL, p < 0.001) and at RoR (1.48 (1.08-1.80) vs. 0.64 (0.55-0.81) μg/mL, p < 0.001) than with the Schnider PK/PD model. Anesthetic hysteresis was observed only in the Schnider PK/PD model group (p < 0.001). DAEs (69.2% vs. 30.8%, p = 0.001) and BSEs (28.2% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.013) were more frequent with the Eleveld PK/PD model than with the Schnider PK/PD model in the general patient population. DAEs (63.2% vs. 27.3%, p = 0.030) and BSEs (31.6% vs. 4.5%, p = 0.036) were more frequent with the Eleveld PK/PD model than with the Schnider PK/PD model in the elderly. CONCLUSIONS The Schnider and Eleveld PK/PD models impact CePs differently. A greater incidence of DAEs and BSEs in the elderly suggests more attention is necessary in this group of patients undergoing BIS-SPI-guided TIVA-TCI with the Eleveld PK/PD than with the Schnider model.

Abstract
There is no difference in between-patient variability of concentrations when comparing propofol and sevoflurane titrated to a bispectral index of 40-60. There is about a 300% variation in hypnotic concentration between the bottom 5% and top 5% of the population. Anaesthesia titration cannot be based solely on measured or estimated drug concentrations.

Abstract
Repeated administration of high doses of propofol to patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) has been shown to produce antidepressant effects in small clinical trials. These effects can be elicited when the patient's EEG burst-suppression ratio (BSR) is maintained at 70-90% for 15 min in repeated treatments. This deep anesthesia domain lies beyond the range of current propofol pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models. In this study, we adapt the Eleveld model for use at deep anesthesia levels with a BSR endpoint, with the goal of aiding the estimation of the dosage of propofol needed to achieve 70-90% BSR for 15 min. We test the ability of the adapted model to predict BSR for these treatments. Twenty participants underwent 6-9 treatments of high doses of propofol (5-9 of which were included in this analysis) for a total of 115 treatments. To adapt the Eleveld model for this endpoint, we optimized the model parameters Ke0, γ and Ce50. These parameters were then used in the adapted model to estimate second-by-second BSR for each treatment. Estimated BSR was compared with observed BSR for each treatment of each participant. Median absolute performance error (MdAPE) between the estimated and observed BSR (25th-75th percentile) was 6.63 (3.79-12.96) % points and 8.51 (4.32-16.74) % between the estimated and observed treatment duration. This predictive performance is statistically significantly better at predicting BSR compared with the standard Eleveld model at deep anesthesia levels. Our adapted Eleveld model provides a useful tool to aid dosing propofol for high-dose anesthetic treatments for depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variability is high in predicted propofol concentrations during clinical anaesthesia titrated by target-controlled infusion (TCI) to maintain a processed EEG parameter (bispectral index [BIS]) within a specified range. We have shown that the potential for improving the pharmacokinetic model is minimal. The drug titration paradox revealed that titration challenges the classical relationship between drug dose and effect in both individuals and the population. We hypothesised that dynamic factors during surgery beyond the static genetic, epigenetic, and other factors such as age, height, and weight affect the necessary dose. We compared the variability of measured end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations with predicted effect-site propofol concentrations when titrated to a BIS range of 40-60, with the hypothesis that the variability in measured sevoflurane concentrations would not be less than the variability in estimated propofol concentrations. METHODS Clinical data from 2280 surgical procedures >1 h in duration were included in the analysis. Anaesthesia with sevoflurane or propofol was based on an institutional protocol. The titration performance for both drugs was assessed by comparing BIS values 30 min after skin incision. The variability of the required concentrations at the same time point was calculated and compared. RESULTS The achieved 30-min post-incision BIS ranges were not significantly different for sevoflurane or propofol TCI (30 [99% CI: 28-33] and 31 [99% CI: 27-36], respectively). The variability of sevoflurane concentrations was not significantly different from measured predicted propofol concentrations during BIS-guided anaesthesia (normalized concentration range of 0.89 [99% CI: 0.78-0.99] and 0.93 [99% CI 0.87-1.02). CONCLUSIONS Improvements in prediction accuracy of pharmacokinetic models beyond that of those already in clinical use are unlikely to reduce variability in target anaesthetic concentrations across patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There are various pharmacokinetic-dynamic models available, which describe the time course of drug concentration and effect and which can be incorporated into target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems. For anesthesia and sedation, most of these models are derived from narrow patient populations, which restricts applicability for the overall population, including (small) children, elderly, and obese patients. This forces clinicians to select specific models for specific populations. RECENT FINDINGS Recently, general purpose models have been developed for propofol and remifentanil using data from multiple studies and broad, diverse patient groups. General-purpose models might reduce the risks associated with extrapolation, incorrect usage, and unfamiliarity with a specific TCI-model, as they offer less restrictive boundaries (i.e., the patient "doesn't fit in the selected model") compared with the earlier, simpler models. Extrapolation of a model can lead to delayed recovery or inadequate anesthesia. If multiple models for the same drug are implemented in the pump, it is possible to select the wrong model for that specific case; this can be overcome with one general purpose model implemented in the pump. SUMMARY This article examines the usability of these general-purpose models in relation to the more traditional models.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic modeling is an important tool which uses statistical methodology to provide a better understanding of the relationship between concentration and effect of drugs such as analgesics and sedatives. Pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic models also describe between-subject variability that allows identification of subgroups and dose adjustment for optimal pain management in individual patients. This approach is particularly useful in the pediatric population, where most drugs have received limited evaluation and dosing is extrapolated from adult practice. In children, the covariates of weight and age are used to describe size- and maturation-related changes in pharmacokinetics. It is important to consider both size and maturation in order to develop an accurate model and determine the optimal dose for different age groups. An adequate assessment of analgesic and sedative effect using pain scales or brain activity measures is essential to build reliable pharmacokinetic pharmacodynamic models. This is often challenging in children due to the multidimensional nature of pain and the limited sensitivity and specificity of some measurement tools. This review provides a summary of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic methodology used to describe the dose-concentration-effect relationship of analgesics and sedation in children, with a focus on the different pharmacodynamic endpoints and the challenges of pharmacodynamic modeling.

Abstract
Background Anesthetic agents including ketamine and nitrous oxide have shown antidepressant properties when appropriately dosed. Our recent open-label trial of propofol, an intravenous anesthetic known to elicit transient positive mood effects, suggested that it may also produce robust and durable antidepressant effects when administered at a high dose that elicits an electroencephalographic (EEG) burst-suppression state. Here we report findings from a randomized controlled trial ( NCT03684447 ) that compared two doses of propofol. We hypothesized greater improvement with a high dose that evoked burst suppression versus a low dose that did not. Methods Participants with moderate-to-severe, treatment-resistant depression were randomized to a series of 6 treatments at low versus high dose (n=12 per group). Propofol infusions were guided by real-time processed frontal EEG to achieve predetermined pharmacodynamic criteria. The primary and secondary depression outcome measures were the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-24) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively. Secondary scales measured suicidal ideation, anxiety, functional impairment, and quality of life. Results Treatments were well tolerated and blinding procedures were effective. The mean [95%-CI] change in HDRS-24 score was -5.3 [-10.3, -0.2] for the low-dose group and -9.3 [-12.9, -5.6] for the high-dose group (17% versus 33% reduction). The between-group effect size (standardized mean difference) was -0.56 [-1.39, 0.28]. The group difference was not statistically significant (p=0.24, linear model). The mean change in PHQ-9 score was -2.0 [-3.9, -0.1] for the low dose and -4.8 [-7.7, -2.0] for the high dose. The between-group effect size was -0.73 [-1.59, 0.14] (p=0.09). Secondary outcomes favored the high dose (effect sizes magnitudes 0.1 - 0.9) but did not generally reach statistical significance (p>0.05). Conclusions The medium-sized effects observed between doses in this small, controlled, clinical trial suggest that propofol may have dose-dependent antidepressant effects. The findings also provide guidance for subsequent trials. A larger sample size and additional treatments in series are likely to enhance the ability to detect dose-dependent effects. Future work is warranted to investigate potential antidepressant mechanisms and dose optimization.

Abstract
Anesthesiologists are increasingly required to care for frail elderly patients. A detailed knowledge of the influence of age on the pharmacokinetics and dynamics of the anesthetic drugs is essential for optimal safety and care. For most of the anesthetic drugs, the elderly need lower doses to achieve the same plasma concentrations, and at any given plasma and effect-site concentration, they will have more profound clinical effects than younger patients. Caution is required, with close monitoring of clinical effects and active titration of dose administration to achieve the desired level of effect, ideally following the "start low, go slow" principle.

Abstract
Living in the era of Big Data, one may advocate that the additional synthetic generation of data is redundant. However, to be able to truly say whether it is valid or not, one needs to focus more on the meaning and quality of data than on the quantity. In some domains, such as biomedical and translational sciences, data privacy still holds a higher importance than data sharing. This by default limits access to valuable research data. Intensive discussion, agreements, and conventions among different medical research players, as well as effective techniques and regulations for data anonymization, already made a big step toward simplification of data sharing. However, the situation with the availability of data about rare diseases or outcomes of novel treatments still requires costly and risky clinical trials and, thus, would greatly benefit from smart data generation. Clinical trials and tests on animals initiate a cyclic procedure that may involve multiple redesigns and retesting, which typically takes two or three years for medical devices and up to eight years for novel medicines, and costs between 10 and 20 million euros. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) acknowledges that for many novel devices, practical limitations require alternative approaches, such as computer modeling and engineering tests, to conduct large, randomized studies. In this article, we give an overview of global initiatives advocating for computer simulations in support of the 3R principles (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement) in humane experimentation. We also present several research works that have developed methodologies of smart and comprehensive generation of synthetic biomedical data, such as virtual cohorts of patients, in support of In Silico Clinical Trials (ISCT) and discuss their common ground.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol and remifentanil are frequently combined for the induction and maintenance of general anaesthesia. Both propofol and remifentanil cause vasodilation and potentially reduce arterial BP. We aimed to develop a mechanism-based model that characterises the haemodynamic interactions between remifentanil and propofol. METHODS Data from two clinical trials in healthy volunteers were analysed using remifentanil-alone, propofol-alone, and combination groups. We evaluated remifentanil effects on haemodynamics using a previously developed mechanism-based haemodynamic model of propofol. The interaction between propofol and remifentanil was explored using the principles of the general pharmacodynamic interaction (GPDI) model. RESULTS Remifentanil alone increased the dissipation rate of total peripheral resistance by 50% at 3.0 ng ml-1. Additionally, the dissipation rates of HR and stroke volume were attenuated by 4.8% and 4.9% per 1 ng ml-1 increase in remifentanil concentration, respectively. The maximal effect of propofol alone in decreasing the production rate of total peripheral resistance was 78%, which decreased to 32% when combined with remifentanil 4 ng ml-1. The effects of remifentanil on HR and stroke volume were attenuated by propofol with maximum decreases of 11.9% and 21.2%, respectively. Goodness-of-fit plots and prediction-corrected visual predictive check plots showed good predictive performance of the models. CONCLUSIONS The structure of the previous mechanism-based haemodynamic model for propofol was able to describe the effects of remifentanil alone on haemodynamic variables. The GPDI model provided a good framework for characterising the pharmacodynamic interaction between remifentanil and propofol on haemodynamic properties.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Understanding the changes in drug disposition of intravenous anesthetics in patients with obesity and administering appropriate doses are critical to avoid intraoperative awareness with recall because of underdosing and over-sedation and delayed emergence due to overdosing. Pharmacokinetic simulation or target-controlled infusion (TCI) using models that have been adapted to patients with obesity are necessary to select appropriate dosing regimens. This review aimed to describe the pharmacokinetic concepts underpinning the use of intravenous anesthetics, including propofol, remifentanil, and remimazolam, in patients with obesity. RECENT FINDINGS In the last 5 years, a series of pharmacokinetic models for propofol, remifentanil, and remimazolam that were estimated from populations that included obese patients have been published. These new pharmacokinetic models can be considered 'second generation' compared with earlier models in that they expand the range of covariate effects (e.g. the extremes of body weight and age) accounted for by the models. The predictive performances of each pharmacokinetic model have been shown in the literature to be within clinically acceptable limits. Among them, the propofol model by Eleveld et al. has been externally validated and has shown reasonable predictive accuracy. SUMMARY Pharmacokinetic simulations or TCI using pharmacokinetic models that account for the influence of obesity on a drug's disposition are essential to predict plasma/effect-site concentrations of intravenous anesthetics and understand the temporal profile of drug concentrations and effect in patients with obesity, particularly severe obesity.

Abstract
Background The combination between sedatives and opioids is one of the recommended anesthetic options in ophthalmic procedures and regimens are more advantageous as smaller amounts of each drug can be administered to reduce side effects and have proper outcomes due to the synergistic effects. This study aims to observe the use of low-dose propofol and fentanyl for patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery. Material and Methods This observational study involves a sample of 125 adult patients who underwent elective cataract procedures using the phacoemulsification technique and had an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status of 1 to 3. Dose amount of fentanyl and propofol, Ramsay score, hemodynamic parameter, side effects, and patient satisfaction were evaluated, recorded, and analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale. Results The result showed the mean absolute dose of propofol was 12.46±4.376 mg, with a range between 10 and 30 mg, while the mean per body weight was 0.21±0.075 mg. Similarly, the mean absolute dose for fentanyl was 25.04±3.012 mcg within the range of 10-50 mcg, and the per-body weight dose was 0.43±0.080 mcg. About 90.4% and 9.6% of the patients reached Ramsay 2 and 3, respectively. The analysis of systolic, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse rate showed that the combination of low-dose fentanyl and propofol was significantly lower than before therapy administration in all four values (p < 0.05). Conclusion The combination of low-dose propofol and fentanyl in cataract surgery using phacoemulsification successfully reached the targeted sedation level and a significant decrease in blood pressure, MAP, pulse rate, minimal side effects, and high satisfaction rate.

Abstract
Pharmacological models describe a patient's response to the administration of a medicinal drug based on parameters derived from population studies. However, considerable inter-patient variability exists, such that population models may underperform when used to predict the actual response of a specific individual. In applications which demand predictive accuracy-such as target-controlled infusion of anesthetic agents-modeling uncertainty may reduce system dependability and introduce clinical risk. Our work investigates the use of Bayesian inference, implemented through a particle filter algorithm, to refine a prior model of propofol pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics and estimate patient-specific parameters in real-time. We report here on an observational clinical study conducted on 40 adults undergoing general anesthesia, where we evaluated the performance of Bayesian inference-personalized models in forecasting forward trends of depth of anesthesia (Bispectral Index) measurements and compared it with that of a traditional population-based pharmacological model. Our results show a significant reduction in prediction error metrics for the patient-specific models. Our study demonstrates the viability and practical implementability of Bayesian inference as a tool for real-time intra-operative estimation of personalized pharmacological models in anesthesia applications.

Abstract
Burst suppression is a brain state consisting of high-amplitude electrical activity alternating with periods of quieter suppression that can be brought about by disease or by certain anesthetics. Although burst suppression has been studied for decades, few studies have investigated the diverse manifestations of this state within and between human subjects. As part of a clinical trial examining the antidepressant effects of propofol, we gathered burst suppression electroencephalographic (EEG) data from 114 propofol infusions across 21 human subjects with treatment-resistant depression. This data was examined with the objective of describing and quantifying electrical signal diversity. We observed three types of EEG burst activity: canonical broadband bursts (as frequently described in the literature), spindles (narrow-band oscillations reminiscent of sleep spindles), and a new feature that we call low-frequency bursts (LFBs), which are brief deflections of mainly sub-3-Hz power. These three features were distinct in both the time and frequency domains and their occurrence differed significantly across subjects, with some subjects showing many LFBs or spindles and others showing very few. Spectral-power makeup of each feature was also significantly different across subjects. In a subset of nine participants with high-density EEG recordings, we noted that each feature had a unique spatial pattern of amplitude and polarity when measured across the scalp. Finally, we observed that the Bispectral Index Monitor, a commonly used clinical EEG monitor, does not account for the diversity of EEG features when processing the burst suppression state. Overall, this study describes and quantifies variation in the burst suppression EEG state across subjects and repeated infusions of propofol. These findings have implications for the understanding of brain activity under anesthesia and for individualized dosing of anesthetic drugs.

Abstract
Purpose Remimazolam has demonstrated the potential as a valuable medication for procedural sedation. However, there were some shortcomings for higher doses of remimazolam during hysteroscopy in spite of less frequent adverse events. The aim of this study was to find the 50% and 95% effective dose (ED50 and ED95) of remimazolam when combined with propofol for intravenous sedation during day-surgery hysteroscopy. Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned evenly (20 per group) to one of five different dosage of remimazolam: group A (0.05mg/kg), group B (0.075mg/kg), group C (0.1mg/kg), group D (0.125mg/kg) or group E (0.15mg/kg). Intravenous injection of sufentanil 0.1µg/kg was administered before sedative medication. Intravenous anesthesia was commenced with remimazolam. Subsequently, propofol was administered at 1mg/kg and maintained at 6mg/kg/h. Success was defined when the patient did not move during cervical dilation, had sufficient sedation as judged by SE <60 and no requirement for rescue doses. The success rate, induce and average dosage of propofol, the induction time, total surgery time, recovery time, and adverse events were recorded. Estimate of ED50 and ED95 with 95% confidence interval (CI) was performed by probit regression. Results The mean (95% CI) values for ED50 and ED95 of remimazolam in patients were 0.09 (0.08-0.11) mg/kg and 0.21 (0.16-0.35) mg/kg, respectively. There was no difference in the induction time, total surgery time, and recovery time among groups. No serious adverse events occurred in all patients. Conclusion The dose-response effects of remimazolam were evaluated for intravenous sedation during hysteroscopy. A combination of remimazolam and propofol was recommended to produce stabler sedation, reduce the total dosage and have less effect on cardiovascular and respiratory depression.

Abstract
The bedside Exhaled Drug MONitor - EDMON measures exhaled propofol in ppbv every minute based on multi-capillary column - ion mobility spectrometry (MCC-IMS). The MCC pre-separates gas samples, thereby reducing the influence of the high humidity in human breath. However, preliminary analyses identified substantial measurement deviations between dry and humid calibration standards. We therefore performed an analytical validation of the EDMON to evaluate the influence of humidity on measurement performance. A calibration gas generator was used to generate gaseous propofol standards measured by an EDMON device to assess linearity, precision, carry-over, resolution, and the influence of different levels of humidity at 100% and 1.7% (without additional) relative humidity (reference temperature: 37°C). EDMON measurements were roughly half the actual concentration without additional humidity and roughly halved again at 100% relative humidity. Standard concentrations and EDMON values correlated linearly at 100% relative humidity (R²=0.97). The measured values were stable over 100min with a variance ≤ 10% in over 96% of the measurements. Carry-over effects were low with 5% at 100% relative humidity after 5min of equilibration. EDMON measurement resolution at 100% relative humidity was 0.4 and 0.6 ppbv for standard concentrations of 3 ppbv and 41 ppbv. The influence of humidity on measurement performance was best described by a second-order polynomial function (R²≥0.99) with influence reaching a maximum at about 70% relative humidity. We conclude that EDMON measurements are strongly influenced by humidity and should therefore be corrected for sample humidity to obtain accurate estimates of exhaled propofol concentrations.

Abstract
The intravenous induction or loading dose in children is commonly prescribed per kilogram. That dose recognizes the linear relationship between volume of distribution and total body weight. Total body weight comprises both fat and fat-free mass. Fat mass influences the volume of distribution and the use of total body weight fails to recognize the impact of fat mass on pharmacokinetics in children. Size metrics alternative to total body mass (e.g., fat-free and normal fat mass, ideal body weight and lean body weight) have been proposed to scale pharmacokinetic parameters (clearance, volume of distribution) for size. Clearance is the key parameter used to calculate infusion rates or maintenance dosing at steady state. Dosing schedules recognize the curvilinear relationship, described using allometric theory, between clearance and size. Fat mass also has an indirect influence on clearance through both metabolic and renal function that is independent of its effects due to increased body mass. Fat-free mass, lean body mass and ideal body mass are not drug specific and fail to recognize the variable impact of fat mass contributing to body composition in children, both lean and obese. Normal fat mass, used in conjunction with allometry, may prove a useful size metric but computation by clinicians for the individual child is not facile. Dosing is further complicated by the need for multicompartment models to describe intravenous drug pharmacokinetics and the concentration effect relationship, both beneficial and adverse, is often poorly understood. Obesity is also associated with other morbidity that may also influence pharmacokinetics. Dose is best determined using pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) models that account for these varied factors. These models, along with covariates (age, weight, body composition), can be incorporated into programmable target-controlled infusion pumps. The use of target-controlled infusion pumps, assuming practitioners have a sound understanding of the PKPD within programs, provide the best available guide to intravenous dose in obese children.

Abstract
Total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with remifentanil and propofol (RP) is considered to be an ideal type of general anesthesia (GA) for pediatric and adult patients undergoing medical procedures. However, delivery of an RP mixture by target-controlled infusion (TCI) for GA in surgical procedures has not been described. We investigated the merit of this approach for breast cancer surgery. Eighty-four patients (n = 42 per group) were randomly allocated to propofol and remifentanil either delivered by separate TCI pumps (S group) or in an RP mixture by a single TCI pump (M group). Dosages were adjusted based on the bispectral index (BIS) and the analgesia nociception index (ANI). The primary outcomes were adequate anesthesia (BIS 40-60 and ANI 50-70, respectively), acceptable hemodynamic fluctuations (<30% of baseline) with less frequent TCI pump adjustments, bolus injections of anesthetics, and total consumption of anesthetics during the procedure. The secondary endpoints included time of emergence from anesthesia, patient satisfaction, postoperative pain, rescue with opioids, and adverse events. The characteristics of patients, hemodynamic parameters, BIS and ANI scores, duration of surgery, anesthesia, and emergence were not significantly different between groups. The adjustment frequency of TCI was significantly higher in the S group (3 (range 0-6) vs. 2 (0-6) times; p = 0.005). The total dosage of anesthetics, pain rating, patient satisfaction, need for opioids postoperatively, and incidence of adverse events were not significantly different. We have demonstrated that this RP mixture provided adequate hypnotic and analgesic effects under BIS and ANI monitoring in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery within 1 h.

Abstract
PURPOSE Regulations have broadened to allow moderate sedation administration for gastrointestinal endoscopy by non-anesthesia personnel. The line between moderate and deep sedation is ambiguous. Deep sedation offers patient comfort as well as greater safety concerns. Unintended deep sedation can occur if drug interactions are overlooked. We present a pharmacodynamic model for moderate sedation using midazolam, alfentanil and propofol. The model is suitable for training and devising rationales for appropriate dosing. METHODS The study consists of two parts: modeling and validation. In modeling, patients scheduled for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) or colonoscopy sedation are enrolled. The modified observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (MOAA/S) score < 4 is defined as loss of response to represent moderate sedation. Two patient groups receiving bronchoscopy or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are used for validation. Model performance is assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC). Simulations are performed to demonstrate how the model is used to rationally determine drug regimen for moderate sedation. RESULTS Interaction between propofol and alfentanil is stronger than the other pairwise combinations. Additional synergy is observed with three drugs. ROC AUC is 0.83 for the modeling group, and 0.96 and 0.93 for ERCP and bronchoscopy groups respectively. Model simulation suggests that 1 mg midazolam, 250 µg alfentanil and propofol maximally benefits from drug interactions and suitable for moderate sedation. CONCLUSION We demonstrate the accurate prediction of a three-drug response surface model for moderate sedation and simulation suggests a rational dosing strategy for moderate sedation with midazolam, alfentanil and propofol.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate pharmacokinetics (PK) of fentanyl administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI), and to develop a PK model optimized by covariates for TCI in anaesthetized dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS A group of 20 client-owned dogs with spinal pain undergoing anaesthesia for magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS Fentanyl was administered as an infusion to 20 anaesthetized dogs using a TCI system incorporating a previously described fentanyl two-compartment PK. Arterial blood samples were collected at specific time points during the infusion and over 60 minutes post-infusion for measurement of fentanyl plasma concentrations. The predictive performance of the Sano PK model was assessed by comparing predicted and measured plasma concentrations. A population PK analysis was then performed using a nonlinear mixed-effect modelling approach, allowing inter- and intra-individual variability estimation. Finally, a quantitative stepwise evaluation of the influence of various covariates such as weight, body condition score, size, size-related age, sex and type of premedication on the PK model was considered. RESULTS Overall predictive performance of the Sano PK set of variables was not clinically acceptable in anaesthetized dogs. Fentanyl PK was best described by a three-compartment model. Weight and sex were found to affect the volume of distribution of the central compartment. Addition of these two covariate/variable associations resulted in a reduction of the objective function value (OFV) from -340.18 to -448.34, and of the median population weighted residual and the median population absolute weighted residual from 16.1% and 38.6% to 3.9% and 20.3%, respectively. Fentanyl infusions at measured concentrations up to 5.4 ng mL-1 in sevoflurane-anaesthetized dogs resulted in stable anaesthesia and smooth recoveries without complications. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE A population three-compartment PK model for fentanyl TCI in anaesthetized dogs was developed. Weight and sex have been detected and incorporated as significant covariates.

Abstract
Total intravenous anesthesia is an anesthesiologic technique where all substances are injected intravenously. The main task of the anesthesiologist is to assess the depth of anesthesia, or, more specifically, the depth of hypnosis (DoH), and accordingly adjust the dose of intravenous anesthetic agents. However, it is not possible to directly measure the anesthetic agent concentrations or the DoH, so the anesthesiologist must rely on various vital signs and EEG-based measurements, such as the bispectral (BIS) index. The ability to better measure DoH is directly applicable in clinical practice-it improves the anesthesiologist's assessment of the patient state regarding anesthetic agent concentrations and, consequently, the effects, as well as provides the basis for closed-loop control algorithms. This article introduces a novel structure for modeling DoH, which employs a residual dynamic model. The improved model can take into account the patient's individual sensitivity to the anesthetic agent, which is not the case when using the available population-data-based models. The improved model was tested using real clinical data. The results show that the predictions of the BIS-index trajectory were improved considerably. The proposed model thus seems to provide a good basis for a more patient-oriented individualized assessment of DoH, which should lead to better administration methods that will relieve the anesthesiologist's workload and will benefit the patient by providing improved safety, individualized treatment, and, thus, alleviation of possible adverse effects during and after surgery.

Abstract
The Eleveld propofol pharmacokinetic (PK) model, which was developed based on a broad range of populations, showed greater bias (- 27%) in elderly subjects in a previous validation study conducted by Vellinga and colleagues. We aimed to develop and externally validate a new PK-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) model of propofol for elderly subjects. A population PK-PD model was constructed using propofol plasma concentrations and bispectral index (BIS) values that were obtained from 31 subjects aged 65 years older in previously published phase I studies. The predictive performance of the newly-developed PK-PD model (Choi model) was assessed in a separate Korean elderly population and compared with that of the Eleveld model. A three-compartment mammillary model using an allometric expression and a sigmoid Emax model well-described the time courses of propofol concentrations and BIS values. The V1, V2, V3, Cl, Q1, Q2, E0, Emax, Ce50, γ, and ke0 of a 60-kg subject were 8.36, 58.0, 650 L, 1.26, 0.917, 0.669 L/min, 92.1, 18.7, 2.21 μg/mL, 2.89, and 0.138 /min, respectively. In the Choi model and Eleveld model, pooled biases (95% CI) of the propofol concentration were 7.78 ( 3.09-12.49) and 16.70 (9.46-23.93) and pooled inaccuracies were 22.84 (18.87-26.81) and 24.85 (18.07-31.63), respectively. The Choi PK model was less biased than the Eleveld PK model in Korean elderly subjects (age range: 65.0-79.0 yr; weight range: 45.0-75.3 kg). Our results suggest that the Choi PK model, particularly, is applicable to target-controlled infusion in non-obese Korean elderly subjects.

Abstract
In this review, we aim to discuss the use and effect of five different drugs used in the induction of anesthesia in cancer patients. Propofol, fentanyl, rocuronium, sugammadex, and dexamethasone are commonly used to induce anesthesia and prevent pain during surgery. Currently, the mechanisms of these drugs to induce the state of anesthesia are not yet fully understood, despite their use being considered safe. An association between anesthetic agents and cancer progression has been determined; therefore, it is essential to recognize the effects of all agents during cancer treatment and to evaluate whether the treatment provided to the patients could be more precise. We also highlight the use of in silico tools to review drug interaction effects and safety, as well as the efficacy of the treatment used according to different subgroups of patients.

Abstract
BackgroundSedation in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients has been identified as a major challenge. We aimed to investigate whether the use of a multiparameter electroencephalogram (EEG) protocol to guide sedation in COVID-19 patients would increase the 30-day mechanical ventilation-free days (VFD).MethodsWe conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial. We included patients with severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 who required mechanical ventilation (MV) and deep sedation. We randomized to the control (n = 25) or multiparameter group (n = 25). Sedation in the intervention group was administered following the standard institutional protocols together with a flow chart designed to reduce the propofol administration dose if the EEG suppression rate was over 2% or the spectral edge frequency 95 (SEF95) was below 10 Hz. We performed an intention-to-treat analysis to evaluate our primary outcome (30-day VFD).ResultsThere was no difference in VFD at day 30 (median: 11 [IQR 0–20] days in the control group vs. 0 [IQR 0–21] days in the BIS multiparameter group, p = 0.87). Among secondary outcomes, we documented a 17% reduction in the total adjusted propofol administered during the first 5 days of the protocol [median: 2.3 (IQR 1.9–2.8) mg/k/h in the control group vs. 1.9(IQR 1.5–2.2) mg/k/h in the MP group, p = 0.005]. This was accompanied by a higher average BIS value in the intervention group throughout the treatment period.ConclusionA sedation protocol guided by multivariate EEG-derived parameters did not increase the 30-day VFD. However, the intervention led to a reduction in total propofol administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) is increasingly popular in pediatric anesthesia, but education on its use is variable and over-dosage adverse events are not uncommon. Recent work suggests that electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters can guide propofol dosing in the pediatric population. This education quality improvement project aimed to implement a standardized EEG TIVA training program over 12 months in a large pediatric anesthesia division. METHODS The division consisted of 63 faculty, 11 clinical fellows, 32 residents, and 28 nurse anesthetists at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The program was assessed for effectiveness (a significant improvement in EEG knowledge scores), scalability (training 50% of fellows and staff), and sustainability (recurring EEG lectures for 80% of rotating residents and 100% of new fellows and staff). The key drivers included educational content development (lectures, articles, and hand-outs), training a cohort of EEG TIVA trainers, intraoperative teaching (teaching points and dosing tables), decision support tools (algorithms and anesthesia electronic record pop-ups), and knowledge tests (written exam and verbal quiz during cases). RESULTS Over 12 months, 78.5% of the division (62/79) completed EEG training and test scores improved (mean score 38% before training vs 59% after training, p < .001). Didactic lectures were given to 100% of the fellows, 100% (11/11) of new staff, and 80% (4/5 blocks) of rotating residents. CONCLUSION This quality improvement education project successfully trained pediatric anesthesia faculty, staff, residents, and fellows in EEG-guided TIVA. The training program was effective, scalable, and sustainable over time for newly hired faculty staff and rotating fellows and residents.

Abstract
Extending the potential of precision dosing requires evaluating methodologies offering more flexibility and higher degree of personalization. Reinforcement learning (RL) holds promise in its ability to integrate multidimensional data in an adaptive process built toward efficient decision making centered on sustainable value creation. For general anesthesia in intensive care units, RL is applied and automatically adjusts dosing through monitoring of patient's consciousness. We further explore the problem of optimal control of anesthesia with propofol by combining RL with state-of-the-art tools used to inform dosing in drug development. In particular, we used pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modeling as a simulation engine to generate experience from dosing scenarios, which cannot be tested experimentally. Through simulations, we show that, when learning from retrospective trial data, more than 100 patients are needed to reach an accuracy within the range of what is achieved with a standard dosing solution. However, embedding a model of drug effect within the RL algorithm improves accuracy by reducing errors to target by 90% through learning to take dosing actions maximizing long-term benefit. Data residual variability impacts accuracy while the algorithm efficiently coped with up to 50% interindividual variability in the PK and 25% in the PD model's parameters. We illustrate how extending the state definition of the RL agent with meaningful variables is key to achieve high accuracy of optimal dosing policy. These results suggest that RL constitutes an attractive approach for precision dosing when rich data are available or when complemented with synthetic data from model-based tools used in model-informed drug development.

Abstract
Pharmacodynamic models have described the interactions between anesthetics. Applying the models to clinical practice is still problematic due to inherent limitations: 1. modeling conditions are different from practice. 2. One model can only describe one endpoint. To tackle these, we propose a new method of model validation for recovery and intraprocedural sedation adequacy with a three-drug pharmacodynamic model using six published clinical studies that contain midazolam, opioid, and propofol. Mean drug dose, intraprocedural sedation level, procedure, and recovery time are extracted from each study. Simulated drug regimens are designed to best approximate study conditions. A published deep sedation model is used for simulation. Model-predicted recovery time and intraprocedural sedation scores are compared with the original clinical study outcomes. The model successfully predicted recovery times in eight out of nine regimens. Lower doses of midazolam are associated with faster recovery. Model prediction of intraprocedural sedation level was compatible with the clinical studies in five out of seven regimens. The three-drug pharmacodynamic model describes the course of gastrointestinal endoscopy sedations from clinical studies well. Model predictions are consistent with the results from clinical studies. The approach implies that large scale validation can be performed repeatedly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND pathophysiological changes such as low cardiac output (LCO) impact pharmacokinetics, but its extent may be different throughout pediatrics compared to adults. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modelling enables further exploration. METHODS A validated propofol model was used to simulate the impact of LCO on propofol clearance across age groups using the PBPK platform, Simcyp® (version 19). The hepatic and renal extraction ratio of propofol was then determined in all age groups. Subsequently, manual infusion dose explorations were conducted under LCO conditions, targeting a 3 µg/mL (80-125%) propofol concentration range. RESULTS Both hepatic and renal extraction ratios increased from neonates, infants, children to adolescents and adults. The relative change in clearance following CO reductions increased with age, with the least impact of LCO in neonates. The predicted concentration remained within the 3 µg/mL (80-125%) range under normal CO and LCO (up to 30%) conditions in all age groups. When CO was reduced by 40-50%, a dose reduction of 15% is warranted in neonates, infants and children, and 25% in adolescents and adults. CONCLUSIONS PBPK-driven, the impact of reduced CO on propofol clearance is predicted to be age-dependent, and proportionally greater in adults. Consequently, age group-specific dose reductions for propofol are required in LCO conditions.

Abstract
Macrophages work with monocytes and dendritic cells to form a monocyte immune system, which constitutes a powerful cornerstone of the immune system with their powerful antigen presentation and phagocytosis. Macrophages play an essential role in infection, inflammation, tumors and other pathological conditions, but these cells also have non-immune functions, such as regulating lipid metabolism and maintaining homeostasis. Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anesthetic in the clinic. Propofol has sedative, hypnotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation effects, and it participates in the body’s immunity. The regulation of propofol on immune cells, especially macrophages, has a profound effect on the occurrence and development of human diseases. We summarized the effects of propofol on macrophage migration, recruitment, differentiation, polarization, and pyroptosis, and the regulation of these propofol-regulated macrophage functions in inflammation, infection, tumor, and organ reperfusion injury. The influence of propofol on pathology and prognosis via macrophage regulation is also discussed. A better understanding of the effects of propofol on macrophage activation and function in human diseases will provide a new strategy for the application of clinical narcotic drugs and the treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Background Improving anesthesia administration for elderly population is of particular importance because they undergo considerably more surgical procedures and are at the most risk of suffering from anesthesia-related complications. Intraoperative brain monitors electroencephalogram (EEG) have proved useful in the general population, however, in elderly subjects this is contentious. Probably because these monitors do not account for the natural differences in EEG signals between young and older patients. In this study we attempted to systematically characterize the age-dependence of different EEG measures of anesthesia hypnosis. Methods We recorded EEG from 30 patients with a wide age range (19–99 years old) and analyzed four different proposed indexes of depth of hypnosis before, during and after loss of behavioral response due to slow propofol infusion during anesthetic induction. We analyzed Bispectral Index (BIS), Alpha Power and two entropy-related EEG measures, Lempel-Ziv complexity (LZc), and permutation entropy (PE) using mixed-effect analysis of variances (ANOVAs). We evaluated their possible age biases and their trajectories during propofol induction. Results All measures were dependent on anesthesia stages. BIS, LZc, and PE presented lower values at increasing anesthetic dosage. Inversely, Alpha Power increased with increasing propofol at low doses, however this relation was reversed at greater effect-site propofol concentrations. Significant group differences between elderly patients (>65 years) and young patients were observed for BIS, Alpha Power, and LZc, but not for PE. Conclusion BIS, Alpha Power, and LZc show important age-related biases during slow propofol induction. These should be considered when interpreting and designing EEG monitors for clinical settings. Interestingly, PE did not present significant age differences, which makes it a promising candidate as an age-independent measure of hypnotic depth to be used in future monitor development.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW There has been a substantial increase in nonoperating room anesthesia procedures over the years along with an increase in the complexity and severity of cases. These procedures pose unique challenges for anesthesia providers requiring meticulous planning and attention to detail. Advancements in the delivery of sedation and analgesia in this setting will help anesthesia providers navigate these challenges and improve patient safety and outcomes. RECENT FINDINGS There has been a renewed interest in the development of newer sedative and analgesic drugs and delivery systems that can safely provide anesthesia care in challenging situations and circumstances. SUMMARY Delivery of anesthesia care in nonoperating room locations is associated with significant challenges. The advent of sedative and analgesic drugs that can be safely used in situations where monitoring capabilities are limited in conjunction with delivery systems, that can incorporate unique patient characteristics and ensure the safe delivery of these drugs, has the potential to improve patient safety and outcomes. Further research is needed in these areas to develop newer drugs and delivery systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remimazolam besylate is a novel short-acting benzodiazepine. An appropriate pharmacokinetic model of remimazolam is desirable in anesthesia practice. The aim of the study was to develop a pharmacokinetic model using plasma samples from patients anesthetized with remimazolam. Influence of patient characteristics, context-sensitive decrement-times, and dose regimens were also examined. METHODS Data were obtained from four trials on patients, and seven trials on healthy volunteers. The characteristics of 416 male and 246 female subjects were as follows: age, 18-93 years; body weight, 34-149 kg; and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status (ASA-PS), I-IV. 2231 arterial and 3200 venous samples were used for the final model. The equilibration rate constant between arterial plasma and effect-site was estimated using the concept of time to peak effect. The final model was used to generate context-sensitive decrement times and dose regimens for general anesthesia. RESULTS A three-compartment model plus virtual venous compartment with allometric scaling of adjusted body weight (ABW), age, sex, and ASA-PS as covariates were selected as the final model. Elimination clearance was lower in males, and in subjects with higher ABW and ASA-PS scores. Approximately 10% or 20% higher dose rate was necessary in females than in males or ASA-PS I/II than III/IV patient. The context-sensitive half-time for effect-site concentration in a 55-year-old, 70-kg, 170-cm male or female ASA-PS I/II patient after > 6-h infusion was 16.7 or 15.9 min. CONCLUSION Remimazolam pharmacokinetic model for general anesthesia was successfully developed. ABW, ASA-PS, and sex has a considerable impact on the remimazolam concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The primary aim of this essay was to explore the best fitting model in remifentanil-propofol combined administrations during esophageal instrumentation (EI) from five distinct response surface models. The secondary aim was to combine the models to give appropriate effect-site drug concentrations (Ces) range with maximal comfort and safety. METHODS The Greco, reduced Greco, Minto, Scaled C50 Hierarchy and Fixed C50 Hierarchy models were constructed to fit four drug effects: loss of response to esophageal instrumentation (LREI), loss of response to esophageal instrumentation revised (LREIR), intolerable ventilatory depression (IVD) and respiratory compromise (RC). Models were tested by chi-square statistical test and evaluated with Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). Model prediction performance were measured by successful prediction rate (SPR) and three prediction errors. RESULTS The reduced Greco model was the best fitting model for LREI and RC, and the Minto model was the best fitting model for LREIR and IVD. The SPRs of reduced Greco model for LREI and RC were 81.76% and 79.81%. The SPRs of Minto model for LREIR and IVD were 80.32% and 80.12%. Overlay of the reduced Greco model for LREI and Minto model for IVD offered visual aid for guidance in drug administration. CONCLUSIONS Using proper response surface model to fit different drug effects will describe the interactions between anesthetic drugs better. Combining response surface models to select the more reliable effect-site drug concentrations range can be used to guide clinical drug administration with greater safety and provide an improvement of anesthesia precision.
