Perioperative and anesthetic deaths: toxicological and medico legal aspects [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Anesthesia has become safer during decades, though there is still a preventable mortality; the complexity of medical and surgical interventions, increasingly older and sicker patients, has created a host of new hazards in anesthesiology.

Cardiac output and the pharmacology of general anesthetics: a narrative review

Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2023
The relationship between cardiac output and anesthetic drugs is important to anesthesiologists, since cardiac output determines the speed with which a drug infused into the bloodstream reaches its target and the intensity of the drug’s effect.

Concerns of the anesthesiologist: anesthetic induction in severe sepsis or septic shock patients [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2012
Septic patients portray instable hemodynamic states because of hypotension or cardiomyopathy, caused by vasodilation, thus, impairing global tissue perfusion and oxygenation threatening functions of critical organs.

The effect of intravenous and inhalation anesthesia in general on the cognition of elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2023
BackgroundPostoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a postoperative complication that often occurs in the elderly. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare intravenous anesthetics (propofol) with inhalation anesthetics (sevoflurane ...

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and pattern recognition analysis of liver extracts from rats under different anesthetics

BMC Medical Imaging, 2012
Background Although general anesthesia is widely used in the surgical arena, the mechanisms by which general anesthetics act remain unclear. We previously described alterations in gene expression ratios in hepatic tissue taken from rats treated with ...

Propofol Induction Reduces the Capacity for Neural Information Integration: Implications for the Mechanism of Consciousness and General Anesthesia [PDF]

, 2008
The cognitive unbinding paradigm suggests that the synthesis of cognitive information is attenuated by general anesthesia. Here, we investigated the functional organization of brain activities in the conscious and anesthetized states, based on ...
