Abstract Background The department of anesthesiology is the main battlefield for the treatment of acute and critical patients, with high work risk and high work pressure. Due to the particularity of the working environment and nature of work, medical staff have become a group with a high incidence of occupational exhaustion and presenteeism. Objective To investigate the current status of presenteeism among anesthesiology nurses in China and to analyze the related influencing factors. Methods Three hundred twelve anesthesiology nurses in Sichuan Province were surveyed by means of general data questionnaire, presenteeism scale, work-family conflict scale, perceived social support scale, occupational commitment scale and stress resistance scale from September to November 2023 by convenience sampling method. Results The total score of presenteeism was (14.67 ± 3.92), the score of work-family conflict was (45.44 ± 15.90), the score of professional commitment was (87.28 ± 14.30), and the score of perceived social support was (66.04 ± 12.78). The evaluation score of stress resistance was (73.35 ± 11.54). The results of multivariate analysis showed that age, education, mode of employment, position, overtime hours per week, work-family conflict, perceived social support and stress resistance were the factors that affected the presenteeism of anesthesiology nurses, which could explain 44.1% of the total variation. The position ( β = 0.296, P

Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the effect of esketamine on the dose–effect relationship between remifentanil and the cardiovascular response to endotracheal intubation during target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol. Methods Patients underwent elective gynecological laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, aged 18–65 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists class I or II, 18 kg/m2 ≤ body mass index ≤ 30 kg/m2, were randomly divided into the control (group C) and esketamine groups (group E). Before anesthesia induction, group E received an intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine, while group C received an equal dose of physiological saline. TCI of propofol to the effect-site concentration (EC) of 3.0 μg/mL, and then TCI of remifentanil to the effect room and intravenous injection of rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg after MOAA/S was 0. Endotracheal intubation was performed after 2 min. Dixon’s modified sequential method was used, and the initial EC of remifentanil was 3.0 ng/mL. The EC of remifentanil was determined according to the intubation response of the previous patient, with an adjacent concentration gradient of 0.3 ng/mL. The EC50 and EC95 values and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were determined using probit regression analysis. Results The EC50 for cardiovascular response inhibition to endotracheal intubation using remifentanil was 3.91 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.59–4.33 ng/mL) and EC95 was 4.66 ng/mL (95% CI: 4.27–6.23 ng/mL) with TCI of propofol 3.0 μg/mL. After intravenous administration of 0.3 mg/kg of esketamine, the EC50 of remifentanil was 3.56 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.22–3.99 ng/mL) and EC95 was 4.31 ng/mL (95% CI: 3.91–5.88 ng/mL). Conclusions Combined with TCI of propofol 3.0 μg/mL for anesthesia induction, esketamine significantly reduced the EC50 and EC95 of remifentanil to inhibit the cardiovascular response to endotracheal intubation.
