Increasing Robustness of the Anesthesia Process from Difference Patient's Delay Using a State-Space Model Predictive Controller [PDF]
Procedia Engineering 15 (2011) 928-932, 2013 The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for

Edge AI-Based Vein Detector for Efficient Venipuncture in the Antecubital Fossa [PDF]
, 2023 Assessing the condition and visibility of veins is a crucial step before obtaining intravenous access in the antecubital fossa, which is a common procedure to draw blood or administer intravenous therapies (IV therapies). Even though medical practitioners are highly skilled at intravenous cannulation, they usually struggle to perform the procedure in ...

Case Reports in Ophthalmology, 2022 General anesthesia is usually selected when patients cannot remain still during surgery with local anesthesia. However, damage to the lungs from positive pressure ventilation under general anesthesia is a major concern in patients with Parkinson’s ...

Reduced neural activity during volatile anesthesia compared to TIVA: evidence from a novel EEG signal processing analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Post-operative cognitive decline is a well-known phenomenon and of crucial importance especially in the elderly. General anesthesia can be accomplished by inhalation-based (volatile) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). While their effects on post-operative symptoms have been investigated, little is known about their influence on brain ...

Stabilizing membrane domains antagonizes 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 both with their hydrophobicity and their effects on certain ion channels. We recently observed that several n-alcohol anesthetics inhibit heterogeneity in plasma membrane derived vesicles by lowering the critical temperature ($T_c$) for phase separation.

Laparoscopic appendectomy under spinal anesthesia with dexmedetomidine infusion [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2014 BackgroundLaparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is rarely performed under regional anesthesia because of pneumoperitoneum-related problems. We expected that dexmedetomidine would compensate for the problems arising from spinal anesthesia alone.

BMC Anesthesiology, 2021 Background In anesthesia, additive drug interactions are used for reducing dose and dose-dependent side-effects. The combination of propofol with volatile anesthetics is rather unusual but might have advantages compared to the single use regarding PONV ...

Revista Brasileira de Anestesiologia, 2016 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Tourniquet pain is one of the major obstacles for intravenous regional anesthesia. We aimed to compare tramadol and lornoxicam used in intravenous regional anesthesia as regards their effects on the quality of anesthesia ...

Hysteresis in anesthesia and recovery: Experimental observation and dynamical mechanism [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The dynamical mechanism underlying the processes of anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery is key to gaining insights into the working of the nervous system. Previous experiments revealed an asymmetry between neural signals during the anesthesia and recovery processes.
