Smokers and haemodynamic responses to desflurane [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 1999
Changes in basic haemodynamic variables following a sudden increase in the concentration of inspired desflurane administered during anaesthesia were compared in 30 female smokers and 30 nonsmokers. Smokers had significantly greater percentage increases in heart rate (p = 0.02), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.005 and = 0.01 ...

Desflurane Allows for a Faster Emergence when Compared to Sevoflurane Without Affecting the Baseline Cognitive Recovery Time.

Frontiers in Medicine, 2015
Aims, We compared the effect of desflurane and sevoflurane on anesthesia recovery time in patients undergoing urological cystoscopic surgery. The Short Orientation Memory Concentration Test (SOMCT) measured and compared cognitive impairment between ...

Desflurane preconditioning induces oscillation of NF-κB in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) has been implicated in anesthetic preconditioning (APC) induced protection against anoxia and reoxygenation (A/R) injury.

Knockdown of RUVBL2 improves hnRNPA2/B1-stress granules dynamics to inhibit perioperative neurocognitive disorders in aged mild cognitive impairment rats. [PDF]

Aging Cell
Knockdown of RUVBL2 expression contributes to the transition of hnRNPA2/B1‐SGs from the hydrogel phase to the liquid phase, accelerating their disassembly. Abstract Perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) is common in aged mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and can accelerate the progression to dementia.

Desflurane anaesthesia in myotonic dystrophy

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011
Myotonic dystrophy (MD) is a rare genetic disorder with multisystem involvement characterised by myotonia and progressive muscle weakness and wasting. These patients pose significant challenges to the anaesthesiologist in view of the muscular and extramuscular involvement and sensitivity to anaesthetic drugs.

Placement of custom‐made full tracheal length stents in Miniature Horses for treatment of collapsing trachea

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary This report describes the placement of custom‐designed intraluminal self‐expanding nitinol stents spanning the entire length of the trachea for the treatment of tracheal collapse in two Miniature Horses. Both horses underwent an initial anaesthetic event for tracheal length and diameter measurements performed fluoroscopically at inspiratory ...

Developing a quality improvement project to tackle the desflurane problem

BMJ Open Quality, 2023
Anaesthesia is associated with the routine use of volatile anaesthetic agents, all of which are potent greenhouse gases in varying degrees. Desflurane, in particular, has a high global warming potential and in recent years, there has been a global ...

Muscle transposition graft for closure of a permanent tracheostoma in a Quarter Horse mare

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Permanent tracheostomy is sometimes required in horses with severe and irreversible obstructive upper airway conditions. Abnormal respiratory noise and altered vocalisation may be of concern to owners and its influence on mare‐foal recognition and bonding should be considered.

A randomised prospective comparison of equilibration point and changing gas composition during low-flow anaesthesia with sevoflurane vs desflurane

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
Background and Aims: Safety and economy are the main concerns while using low- flow anaesthesia with newer inhalational agents. The main objective of this study was to use and compare 'equilibration time' of sevoflurane and desflurane after change-over ...

Evaluating the impact of a standardised pre‐operative patient management protocol on major post‐operative complications in dogs undergoing BOAS surgery

Journal of Small Animal Practice, EarlyView.
Objectives Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a common human upper respiratory tract disease that resembles Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome in dogs, and pre‐operative lifestyle changes are often recommended to minimise perioperative risk.
