Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Anesthesia Model Incorporating psi-Caputo Fractional Derivatives [PDF]
We present a novel Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for the induction phase of anesthesia, incorporating the $\psi$-Caputo fractional derivative. By employing the Picard iterative process, we derive a solution for a nonhomogeneous $\psi$-Caputo fractional system to characterize the dynamical behavior of the drugs distribution within a ...

Instrumentation for Epidural Anesthesia [PDF]
A low-cost, sterilizable and unobtrusive instrumentation device was developed to quantify and study the loss-of-resistance technique in epidural anesthesia. In the porcine study, the rapid fall of the applied force, plunger displacement and fluid pressure, and the oral indication of the anesthesiologists were shown to be consistent with the loss-of ...

Epidural Analgesia Decreases Narcotic Requirements in Low Level Spina Bifida Patients Undergoing Urologic Laparotomy for Neurogenic Bladder and Bowel [PDF]
Purpose Concern of anatomical anomalies and worsening neurologic symptoms has prevented widespread use of epidural catheters in patients with low level spina bifida (LLSB). We hypothesize that thoracic epidural placement in the T9-T10 interspace is safe
