USE OF INHALANT ANESTHETICS IN THREE SNAKE SPECIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Different snake species respond differently to various anesthetic agents. Hence, an anesthetic procedure developed for one species cannot necessarily be safely transferred to another species.

Smart needle electrical bioimpedance to provide information on needle tip relationship to target nerve prior to local anesthetic deposition in peripheral nerve block (USgPNB) procedures

open access: yesJournal of Electrical Bioimpedance, 2023
Ultrasound guided peripheral nerve block (USgPNB) refers to anaesthetic techniques to deposit local anesthetic next to nerves, permitting painful surgery without necessitating general anesthesia.

Anesthetic Agents of Plant Origin: A Review of Phytochemicals with Anesthetic Activity

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
The majority of currently used anesthetic agents are derived from or associated with natural products, especially plants, as evidenced by cocaine that was isolated from coca (Erythroxylum coca, Erythroxylaceae) and became a prototype of modern local ...

Mechanistic insights into volatile anesthetic modulation of K2P channels

open access: yeseLife, 2020
K2P potassium channels are known to be modulated by volatile anesthetic (VA) drugs and play important roles in clinically relevant effects that accompany general anesthesia.

Liquid general anesthetics lower critical temperatures in plasma membrane vesicles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A large and diverse array of small hydrophobic molecules induce general anesthesia. Their efficacy as anesthetics has been shown to correlate both with their affinity for a hydrophobic environment and with their potency in inhibiting certain ligand gated ion channels.

Stabilizing membrane domains antagonizes n-alcohol anesthesia [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical 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.

Anesthesia concerns for a patient with monkeypox requiring emergency surgery: A review

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2022
Monkeypox is a contagious disease that manifests as a smallpox-like skin rash. The disease has shown a sudden surge worldwide across several countries. These patients may present for emergency surgery. Anesthetic management of these cases in an emergency

Cognitive dysfunction following desflurane versus sevoflurane general anesthesia in elderly patients: a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
UnlabelledAs life expectancy increases, more patients ≥65 years undergo general anesthesia. Anesthetic agents may contribute to postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and incidence may differ with anesthetic agents or intraoperative anesthesia depth ...

On the action potential as a propagating density pulse and the role of anesthetics [PDF]

open access: yesBiophys. Rev. Letters 2 (2007) 57-78, 2006
The Hodgkin-Huxley model of nerve pulse propagation relies on ion currents through specific resistors called ion channels. We discuss a number of classical thermodynamic findings on nerves that are not contained in this classical theory. Particularly striking is the finding of reversible heat changes, thickness and phase changes of the membrane during ...
