Epub 2021 Jun 30. ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia in associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS). A retrospective analysis of 40 patients with liver cancer who underwent ALPPS was performed. The study included 21 (control group) and 19 (observation group) patients who were administered propofol anesthesia and propofol in combination with sevoflurane anesthesia, respectively. Changes in liver function indicators, routine blood parameters and blood coagulation function, as well as cognitive function (mini-mental state examination) were recorded. The total bilirubin and direct bilirubin levels and the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level after the first- and second-stage operation in the two groups was also higher than that prior to the first-stage operation (P<0.05), and the ALT level was significantly lower in the two groups after the second-stage operation compared with that prior to the second-stage operation (P<0.05). The AST level after the first- and second-stage operation was lower than that prior to the first- and second-stage operation, respectively (P<0.05). The white blood cell count after the second-stage operation was significantly lower compared with that prior to the second-stage operation (P<0.05). The plasma fibrinogen (FIB) level was higher after the first-stage operation compared with that prior to the first-stage operation (P<0.05). The prothrombin time in the two groups of patients was higher after the second-stage operation compared with that prior to the second-stage operation (P<0.05), whereas the FIB level was lower (P<0.05) and the international normalized ratio was not significantly different (P>0.05). The degree of cognitive decline prior to the first/second-stage operation, according to mini-mental state examination scores, was different from that after the first/second-stage operation (P<0.05). In conclusion, propofol combined with sevoflurane has a good application value in ALPPS. PMID:34335882 | PMC:PMC8290462 | DOI:10.3892/etm.2021.10353 View on the web Inoreader.
