Frontiers in Medicine, 2023 BackgroundPostoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a postoperative complication that often occurs in the elderly. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare intravenous anesthetics (propofol) with inhalation anesthetics (sevoflurane ...

Perioperative and anesthetic deaths: toxicological and medico legal aspects [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Anesthesia has become safer during decades, though there is still a preventable mortality; the complexity of medical and surgical interventions, increasingly older and sicker patients, has created a host of new hazards in anesthesiology.

A mini-review of the effects of inhalational and intravenous anesthetics on oxidative stress in dogs
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022 General anesthesia increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can exacerbate or increase oxidative stress and thus affect the prognosis of surgical procedures.

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.

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

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

The thermodynamics of lipid ion channel formation in the absence and presence of anesthetics. BLM experiments and simulations [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2009, 5: 3319-3330, 2009 It is known that lipid membranes become permeable in their melting regime. In microscopic conductance measurements on black lipid membranes one finds that conduction takes place via quantized events closely resembling those reported for protein ion channels. Here, we present data of ion currents through black lipid membranes in the presence and absence
