The Growth of Microorganisms in Propofol and Mixtures of Propofol and Lidocaine
Propofol emulsion supports bacterial growth. Extrinsic contamination of propofol has been implicated as an etiological event in postsurgical infections. When added to propofol, local anesthetics (e.g., lidocaine) alleviate the pain associated with injecting it. Because local anesthetics have antimicrobial activity, we determined whether lidocaine would

Development and validation of an extraction method based on dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction for the analysis by GC–MS of propofol in three different biological samples (blood, urine, and hair). The proposed method is very simple and rapid.

Propofol withdrawal seizures (or not) [PDF]
Propofol is associated with abnormal motor events resembling seizures, the exact nature of these events remains to be elucidated. We describe here a case of seizure-like activity after propofol-induced conscious sedation accompanied by a prolactin rise, together suggesting that the event was ictal.

Abstract Background Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood (AHC) is a severe channelopathy that manifests before 18 months of age, primarily caused by pathogenic variants in the ATP1A3 gene. It is characterized by recurrent and disabling episodes of plegia, dystonia, dysautonomia, along with chronic neurological features and cardiac arrhythmias. About 50%

Abstract Objective Status non‐epilepticus is characterized by recurrent or prolonged psychogenic non‐epileptic seizures (PNES), which are often mistaken for status epilepticus (SE). This study focuses on the misdiagnosis of convulsive SE in patients whose seizures were of psychogenic origin.

Research progress on the depth of anesthesia monitoring based on the electroencephalogram
Electroencephalogram (EEG) can noninvasive, continuous, and real‐time monitor the state of brain electrical activity, and the monitoring of EEG can reflect changes in the depth of anesthesia (DOA). The development of artificial intelligence can enable anesthesiologists to extract, analyze, and quantify DOA from complex EEG data.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing standard laparoscopic salpingo‐oophorectomy versus those using the MiniLap percutaneous surgical system, aiming to demonstrate the non‐inferiority of this ultra‐minimally invasive surgical technique compared to the current gold standard.

Abstract Background Gynecological surgery is generally associated with a high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), for which a combination of antiemetic therapies is advised, but adherence to these protocols is often low. Given the current reality, a preferred 5‐HT3 receptor antagonist for preventing PONV as a result of gynecological ...

Sensitivity to propofol in the elderly [PDF]
SummaryTwo studies were carried out on 609 fit, unpremedicated patients to assess the influence of patient age on the response to the rapidly‐acting hindered phenol, propofol, which is being evaluated for induction of anaesthesia. In the first study, 1.25 mg/kg was injected over 20 seconds followed by 10‐mg increments every 15 seconds until loss of ...
