Assessing potential desflurane-induced neurotoxicity using nonhuman primate neural stem cell models [PDF]
Safety concerns about general anesthetics (GA), such as desflurane (a commonly used gaseous anesthetic agent), arose from studies documenting neural cell death and behavioral changes after early-life exposure to anesthetics and compounds with related ...

Recovery profile of desflurane with air or nitrous oxide in patients undergoing general anesthesia – A prospective cohort study [PDF]
Background and Aims: Desflurane helps in prompt awakening when discontinued. Since desflurane has a lesser blood: gas solubility than nitrous oxide, we hypothesized that use of air with desflurane would result in a rapid recovery compared to desflurane ...

Cerebrovascular reactivity to hypercapnia during sevoflurane or desflurane anesthesia in rats [PDF]
Background Hypercapnia causes dilation of cerebral vessels and increases cerebral blood flow, resulting in increased intracranial pressure. Sevoflurane is reported to preserve cerebrovascular carbon dioxide reactivity.

Pediatric Anesthetic Management of a Patient With Warburg Micro Syndrome, a Rare Autosomal Recessive Genetic Disorder. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Warburg micro syndrome is an extremely rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder with only 100 families documented worldwide. We present a safe and successful anesthetic management of a pediatric patient with Warburg micro syndrome utilizing total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) and incisional Exparel.

The target concentration of remifentanil to suppress the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation during inhalational induction with desflurane [PDF]
BackgroundAnesthesia induction with desflurane is troublesome because of the frequent sympathetic hyperactivity during desflurane administration. We thought that a low concentration of desflurane combined with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of ...

Propofol prevents further prolongation of QT interval during liver transplantation
Here, we aimed to compare the effects of two anesthetic methods (desflurane inhalation anesthesia vs. propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)] on corrected QT interval (QTc) values during living donor liver transplantation.

Time course of end-tidal desflurane concentration during delivery and elimination according to the type and location of filters in a semi-closed circuit system [PDF]
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to determine whether the end-tidal concentration of desflurane would be affected by a breathing circuit system filter attached at two different positions in anesthetic breathing circuit systems.MethodsAn artificial ...

EEG signals analysis using multiscale entropy for depth of anesthesia monitoring during surgery through artificial neural networks [PDF]
In order to build a reliable index to monitor the depth of anesthesia (DOA), many algorithms have been proposed in recent years, one of which is sample entropy (SampEn), a commonly used and important tool to measure the regularity of data series. However,
