Mechanisms of General Anesthesia [PDF]
Environmental Health Perspectives, 1990 Although general anesthetics are often said to be nonspecific agents, it is likely that they act at a much more restricted set of target sites than commonly believed. The traditional view has been that the primary targets are lipid portions of nerve membranes, but recent evidence shows that the effects on lipid bilayers of clinically relevant levels of

Delayed gastric emptying induced by glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and its implications for perioperative risk during anesthesia [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Internal MedicineGlucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity because of their glucose-lowering, weight-reducing, and cardiovascular benefits. However, their potential to delay gastric

Sleep and general anesthesia [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2010 The mechanisms through which general anesthetics cause reversible loss of consciousness are characterized poorly. In this review, we examine the evidence that anesthetic-induced loss of consciousness may be caused by actions on the neuronal pathways that produce natural sleep.It is clear that many general anesthetics produce effects in the brain ...
