Randomized, controlled trial comparing respiratory and analgesic effects of interscalene, anterior suprascapular, and posterior suprascapular nerve blocks for arthroscopic shoulder surgery [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Interscalene brachial plexus block (ISB) provides excellent analgesia for arthroscopic shoulder surgeries but is associated with adverse effects including hemidiaphragmatic paresis.

The Thermodynamics of General Anesthesia [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2007
It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found close to body temperature in biomembranes. We propose a thermodynamic extension of the Meyer-Overton

Oxygen conditions oscillating between hypoxia and hyperoxia induce different effects in the pulmonary endothelium compared to constant oxygen conditions

Physiological Reports, 2021
The pulmonary endothelium is an immediate recipient of high oxygen concentrations upon oxygen therapy and mediates down‐stream responses. Cyclic collapse and reopening of atelectatic lung areas during mechanical ventilation with high fractions of ...

General anesthesia vs. non-general anesthesia for vertebrobasilar stroke endovascular therapy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
BackgroundThe optimal type of anesthesia for acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) remains controversial. We aimed to assess the influence of anesthetic management on the outcomes in VBAO patients received endovascular treatment (EVT ...

General anesthesia reduces complexity and temporal asymmetry of the informational structures derived from neural recordings in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2020
We apply techniques from the field of computational mechanics to evaluate the statistical complexity of neural recording data from fruit flies. First, we connect statistical complexity to the flies' level of conscious arousal, which is manipulated by ...

Noninvasive respiratory support for COVID-19 patients: when, for whom, and how?

Journal of Intensive Care, 2022
The significant mortality rate and prolonged ventilator days associated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in patients with severe COVID-19 have incited a debate surrounding the use of noninvasive respiratory support (NIRS) (i.e., HFNC, CPAP, NIV)
