Clinical outcomes of remote ischemic preconditioning prior to cardiac surgery: A meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials [PDF]
Background Multiple randomized controlled trials of remote ischemic preconditioning ( RIPC ) prior to cardiac surgery have failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. The aim of this updated

A Transformer-based Prediction Method for Depth of Anesthesia During Target-controlled Infusion of Propofol and Remifentanil [PDF]
Accurately predicting anesthetic effects is essential for target-controlled infusion systems. The traditional (PK-PD) models for Bispectral index (BIS) prediction require manual selection of model parameters, which can be challenging in clinical settings. Recently proposed deep learning methods can only capture general trends and may not predict abrupt

Unconsciousness reconfigures modular brain network dynamics [PDF]
The dynamic core hypothesis posits that consciousness is correlated with simultaneously integrated and differentiated assemblies of transiently synchronized brain regions. We represented time-dependent functional interactions using dynamic brain networks, and assessed the integrityof the dynamic core by means of the flexibility and largest multilayer ...

The Effect of Sevoflurane Plus Propofol on Pain and Complications after Laminectomy: A Randomized Double Blind Clinical Trial [PDF]
Introduction: Pain is one of the most important reasons for the patients concern after surgery. The perfect sedative should have properties like rapid onset, least pain and adverse effects.

Early phase pharmacokinetics but not pharmacodynamics are influenced by propofol infusion rate [PDF]
Background: Conventional compartmental pharmacokinetic models wrongly assume instantaneous drug mixing in the central compartment, resulting in a flawed prediction of drug disposition for the first minutes, and the flaw affects pharmacodynamic modeling ...

Depth of anesthesia control using internal model control techniques [PDF]
The major difficulty in the design of closed-loop control during anaesthesia is the inherent patient variability due to differences in demographic and drug tolerance.

Prediction of Individual Propofol Requirements based on Preoperative EEG Signals [PDF]
The patient must be given an adequate amount of propofol for safe surgery since overcapacity and low capacity cause accidents. However, the sensitivity of propofol varies from patient to patient, making it very difficult to determine the propofol requirements for anesthesia.

The influence of storage time and temperature on propofol concentrations in canine blood and plasma [PDF]
Propofol is an intravenous anesthetic commonly used due to its favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile. There are discrepancies in the literature about the most appropriate sample for determining propofol concentrations. Although plasma has
