Radical pairs may play a role in xenon-induced general anesthesia [PDF]
Sci Rep 11, 6287 (2021), 2020 Understanding the mechanisms underlying general anesthesia would be a key step towards understanding consciousness. The process of xenon-induced general anesthesia has been shown to involve electron transfer, and the potency of xenon as a general anesthetic exhibits isotopic dependence. We propose that these observations can be explained by a mechanism

The Effects of Prenatal Patient Education Regarding Epidural Anesthesia [PDF]
, 2022 This project is important because there is a lack of education for prenatal women regarding epidural anesthesia which causes misunderstanding, confusion, a deficit of knowledge, and a lack of support. The purpose of this project is to analyze and suggest

Neuraxial modulation for treatment of VT storm. [PDF]
, 2014 In the hyperadrenergic state of VT storm where shocks are psychologically and physiologically traumatizing, suppression of sympathetic outflow from the organ level of the heart up to higher braincenters plays a significant role in reducing the propensity

Increasing Robustness of the Anesthesia Process from Difference Patient's Delay Using a State-Space Model Predictive Controller [PDF]
Procedia Engineering 15 (2011) 928-932, 2013 The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for

Case Report: Hemorrhage into an Occult Spinal Ependymoma after Epidural Anesthesia [PDF]
, 2008 Epidural anesthesia is a procedure which is well tolerated and has a low incidence of adverse events. In performing caesarean sections, regional anesthesia (spinal or epidural) is the preferred modality for anesthetic delivery.

Limitations of the use of pressure waves to verify correct epidural needle position in dogs [PDF]
, 2013 The use of pressure waves to confirm the correct position of the epidural needle has been described in several domestic species and proposed as a valid alternative to standard methods, namely, control radiographic exam and fluoroscopy. The object of this

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021 Achondroplasia is a type of disproportionate dwarfism with short limbs and a normal-sized torso. This condition results in a potential spinal abnormality and a difficult airway may increase the anesthetic risk, not only in neuraxial anesthesia, but also ...

Tissue Classification During Needle Insertion Using Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning and Optical Coherence Tomography [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Needle positioning is essential for various medical applications such as epidural anaesthesia. Physicians rely on their instincts while navigating the needle in epidural spaces. Thereby, identifying the tissue structures may be helpful to the physician as they can provide additional feedback in the needle insertion process.
