Volatile anesthetics reduce mortality in cardiac surgery

, 2009
Objectives: A recent meta-analysis suggested that volatile anesthetics reduce postoperative mortality after cardiac surgery. Nonetheless, whether volatile anesthetics improve the outcome of cardiac surgical patients is still a matter of debate.

A Double-Edged Sword: Volatile Anesthetic Effects on the Neonatal Brain

Brain Sciences, 2014
The use of volatile anesthetics, a group of general anesthetics, is an exceedingly common practice. These anesthetics may have neuroprotective effects. Over the last decade, anesthetic induced neurotoxicity in pediatric populations has gained a certain ...

Impact of anesthetic agents on the amount of bleeding during dilatation and evacuation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
PurposePatients undergo dilatation and evacuation for abortion or miscarriage. However, bleeding is sometimes problematic. Despite reports on the association between volatile anesthetics and increased bleeding during the procedure, firm evidence is ...

Volatile anesthetics in preventing acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2014
ObjectiveAcute kidney injury is a common clinical complication of cardiac surgery. Volatile anesthetics have been shown to protect against it in animal experiments. Clinically, however, the effect of volatile anesthetics has been unclear.

Early postoperative recovery in operating room after desflurane anesthesia combined with Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring and warming in lengthy abdominal surgery: a randomized controlled study

BMC Anesthesiology, 2018
Background This study aimed to determine whether the use of desflurane (DES) anesthesia combined with bispectral index (BIS) monitoring and warming is effective in reducing anesthesia-controlled operating room time (ACT) in patients undergoing lengthy ...

Volatile anesthetics depress the depolarization-induced cytoplasmic calcium rise in PC 12 cells [PDF]

, 1987
In the rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC 12, the effects of four volatile anesthetics (halothane, isoflurane, enflurane, methoxyflurane) on the K+-evoked intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) rise were investigated using the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescence dye ...

Residual volatile anesthetics after workstation preparation and activated charcoal filtration [PDF]

, 2020
Background Volatile anesthetics potentially trigger malignant hyperthermia crises in susceptible patients. We therefore aimed to identify preparation procedures for the Draeger Primus that minimize residual concentrations of desflurane and sevoflurane ...
