Qualitative and Quantitative Characteristics of the Electroencephalogram in Normal Horses during Administration of Inhaled Anesthesia. [PDF]
BackgroundThe effects of anesthesia on the equine electroencephalogram (EEG) after administration of various drugs for sedation, induction, and maintenance are known, but not that the effect of inhaled anesthetics alone for EEG recording.ObjectiveTo ...

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

Review of hypoxaemia in the anaesthetized horse: predisposing factors, consequences and management [PDF]
Objectives: To discuss how hypoxaemia might be harmful and why the horse is particularly predisposed to developing it. To review the strategies that are used to manage hypoxaemia in anaesthetised horses, to describe how successful these strategies are

A Model-Based Architecture for Automatic Anesthesia Infusion [PDF]
This paper presents a model-based control architecture. Based on the Medical Cyber-physical Systems (MCPS) concept, we construct a safe and reliable automatic anesthesia control closed-loop system. The control architecture uses the patient's propofol pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model, using the calculated results as a feedback signal to correct the

The Minimum Alveolar Concentration of Sevoflurane for Respiratory Depression
Objective: to provide a rationale for a need to introduce the new constant — the minimum alveolar concentration for respiratory depression (MACrespiratory depression) and to determine its value. Subjects and methods.

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

Inhaled anesthesia in neurosurgery: Still a role?
In patients undergoing craniotomy, general anesthesia should be addressed to warrant good hypnosis, immobility, and analgesia, to ensure systemic and cerebral physiological status and provide the best possible surgical field. Regarding craniotomies, it is unclear if there are substantial differences in providing general anesthesia using total ...

Towards Real-World Applications of Personalized Anesthesia Using Policy Constraint Q Learning for Propofol Infusion Control [PDF]
Automated anesthesia promises to enable more precise and personalized anesthetic administration and free anesthesiologists from repetitive tasks, allowing them to focus on the most critical aspects of a patient's surgical care. Current research has typically focused on creating simulated environments from which agents can learn.

Neuroprotective Properties of Xenon. [PDF]
Xenon is a rare noble gas that was introduced into clinical practice more than 70 years ago. Xenon's clinical properties are predicated by its ability to fit into preformed cavities of macromolecules thereby altering their biological functions.

No aspect of the practice of pediatric anesthesia is more essential than airway management. Pediatric anesthesiologists are the ‘go to’ specialists when infants and children with difficult airways present anywhere in the hospital. To our advantage, rapid
