Intermittent left bundle branch block - reversal to normal conduction during general anesthesia
Background and objectives: Transient changes in intraoperative cardiac conduction are uncommon. Rare cases of the development or remission of complete left bundle branch block under general and locoregional anesthesia associated with myocardial ischemia,

Efficacy of perineural versus intravenous dexamethasone in prolonging the duration of analgesia when administered with peripheral nerve blocks: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Background Perineural dexamethasone has been regarded as a promising adjunct for prolonging the duration of nerve blocks. However, it is uncertain whether its effects are due to local effects on the nerves or from systemic absorption.

Dexmedetomidine versus Midazolam as Local Anesthetic Adjuvants to Bupivacaine in Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block for Upper-Limb Vascular Surgeries: A Comparative Study [PDF]
Background: The supraclavicular nerve block is a useful alternative to general anesthesia for upper limb surgery. Previous research investigated the effect of adjuvant, but its role in the context of a reduced volume of a local anaesthetic drug under ...

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Anesthesia Model Incorporating psi-Caputo Fractional Derivatives [PDF]
We present a novel Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for the induction phase of anesthesia, incorporating the $\psi$-Caputo fractional derivative. By employing the Picard iterative process, we derive a solution for a nonhomogeneous $\psi$-Caputo fractional system to characterize the dynamical behavior of the drugs distribution within a ...

An Analytic Method to Determine the Optimal Time for the Induction Phase of Anesthesia [PDF]
We obtain an analytical solution for the time-optimal control problem in the induction phase of anesthesia. Our solution is shown to align numerically with the results obtained from the conventional shooting method. The induction phase of anesthesia relies on a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model proposed by Bailey and Haddad in 2005 to ...
