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

The Current Role of General Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery

Current Anesthesiology Reports, 2021
The use of general anesthesia for cesarean delivery has declined in the last decades due to the widespread utilization of neuraxial techniques and the understanding that neuraxial anesthesia can be provided even in urgent circumstances. In fact, the role

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 ...

Delirium in Older Patients after Combined Epidural–General Anesthesia or General Anesthesia for Major Surgery: A Randomized Trial

Anesthesiology, 2021
Background: Delirium is a common and serious postoperative complication, especially in the elderly. Epidural anesthesia may reduce delirium by improving analgesia, reducing opioid consumption, and blunting stress response to surgery. This trial therefore

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 ...

Remimazolam benzenesulfonate anesthesia effectiveness in cardiac surgery patients under general anesthesia

World Journal of Clinical Cases, 2021
BACKGROUND Sedation with propofol injections is associated with a risk of addiction, but remimazolam benzenesulfonate is a comparable anesthetic with a short elimination half-life and independence from cell P450 enzyme metabolism. Compared to remimazolam,

Long-term Survival after Combined Epidural–General Anesthesia or General Anesthesia Alone: Follow-up of a Randomized Trial

Anesthesiology, 2021
Background: Experimental and observational research suggests that combined epidural–general anesthesia may improve long-term survival after cancer surgery by reducing anesthetic and opioid consumption and by blunting surgery-related inflammation.

Prenatal Exposure to General Anesthesia and Childhood Behavioral Deficit

Anesthesia and Analgesia, 2021
BACKGROUND: Exposure to surgery and anesthesia in early childhood has been found to be associated with an increased risk of behavioral deficits. While the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against prenatal exposure to anesthetic drugs ...

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)
