Effect of general anesthetics on the developing brain

open access: yesJournal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
Studies on rodents and subhuman primates suggest that prolonged exposure to general anesthetics may induce widespread neuronal cell death and neurological sequelae; seriously questioning the safety of pediatric anesthesia.

The role of general anesthetics and the mechanisms of hippocampal and extra-hippocampal dysfunctions in the genesis of postoperative cognitive dysfunction

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2017
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a multifactorial process with a huge number of predisposing, causal, and precipitating factors. In this scenario, the neuroinflammation and the microglial activation play a pivotal role by triggering and ...

Are Local Anesthetics and General Anesthetics Different? [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2014
It is widely believed that general and local anesthetics act by different mechanisms. While there is general agreement that the mode of action of general anesthetics is poorly understood, local anesthetics are believed to block voltage-gated sodium channels and thereby affect action potentials in nerves.

Structural interplay of anesthetics and paralytics on muscle nicotinic receptors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
General anesthetics and neuromuscular blockers are used together during surgery to stabilize patients in an unconscious state. Anesthetics act mainly by potentiating inhibitory ion channels and inhibiting excitatory ion channels, with the net effect of ...

The impact of preoperative glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) on postoperative complications after elective major abdominal surgery: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yesKorean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022
Background Diabetes is a risk factor for postoperative complications. Previous meta-analyses have shown that elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are associated with postoperative complications in various surgical populations. However, this is the

Volatile anesthetics maintain tidal volume and minute ventilation to a greater degree than propofol under spontaneous respiration

open access: yesBMC Anesthesiology, 2021
Background Although general anesthetics depress spontaneous respiration, the comprehensive effect of general anesthetics on respiratory function remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the effects of general anesthetics on spontaneous respiration in non-
