The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found ...

General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Research 2, 023219 (2020), 2020
We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by ...

Conditions that Stabilize Membrane Domains Also Antagonize n-Alcohol Anesthesia [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, Volume 111, Issue 3, 9 August 2016, Pages 537-545, 2016
Diverse molecules induce general anesthesia with potency strongly correlated with both their hydrophobicity and their effects on certain ion channels.

The thermodynamics of general and local anesthesia [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2014
General anesthetics are known to cause depression of the freezing point of transitions in biomembranes. This is a consequence of ideal mixing of the anesthetic drugs in the membrane fluid phase and exclusion from the solid phase.

Spinal Anesthesia or General Anesthesia for Hip Surgery in Older Adults.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
BACKGROUND The effects of spinal anesthesia as compared with general anesthesia on the ability to walk in older adults undergoing surgery for hip fracture have not been well studied.

Quality of Recovery After General Anesthesia with Remimazolam in Patients’ Undergoing Urologic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Remimazolam with Propofol

Drug Design, Development and Therapy, 2022
Background Remimazolam is a new medication with sedative and hypnotic effects. It has been demonstrated non-inferior to propofol in general anesthesia with regard to efficacy and safety. However, whether general anesthesia with remimazolam is better than

Neuraxial and general anesthesia for outpatient total joint arthroplasty result in similarly low rates of major perioperative complications: a multicentered cohort study

Regional anesthesia and pain medicine, 2022
Background Neuraxial anesthesia when compared with general anesthesia has shown to improve outcomes following lower extremity total joint arthroplasty.

Effect of Regional vs General Anesthesia on Incidence of Postoperative Delirium in Older Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery: The RAGA Randomized Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2021
Importance In adults undergoing hip fracture surgery, regional anesthesia may reduce postoperative delirium, but there is uncertainty about its effectiveness.

Pharmacodynamic modeling of moderate sedation and rationale for dosing using midazolam, propofol and alfentanil

BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2023
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.
