Beating heart coronary surgery and renal function: a prospective randomised study (Presented at 18th Spring Meeting of the Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthetists: Selected abstracts, Cambridge, UK. 22 June 2001) [PDF]
Introduction Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is widely regarded as an important contributor to renal failure, a well recognised complication, following coronary artery surgery (CABG).

Reducing Conservatism in Model-Invariant Safety-Preserving Control of Propofol Anesthesia Using Falsification [PDF]
This work provides a formalized model-invariant safety system for closed-loop anesthesia that uses feedback from measured data for model falsification to reduce conservatism. The safety system maintains predicted propofol plasma concentrations, as well as the patient's blood pressure, within safety bounds despite uncertainty in patient responses to ...

Background: The aim of the present prospective randomised double-blind clinical study was to compare the incidence of pain-free injection following the use of this new formulation (propofol with medium-chain triglycerides [MCT] and long-chain ...

Propofol suppresses adipose-derived stem cell progression via PI3K/AKT-Wnt signaling pathway
Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) transplantation has become a prospective way to treat cardiovascular diseases and skin traumas. Propofol, a short-acting intravenous anesthetic agent, plays an important role in the induction and maintenance of general ...

Transversus abdominis plane block reduces remifentanil and propofol consumption, evaluated by closed-loop titration guided by bispectral index. [PDF]
The present prospective, randomized, double-blind study aimed to determine the impact of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block on propofol and remifentanil consumption, when administered by closed-loop titration guided by processed ...

An Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Strategy in Closed-loop Control of Anesthesia [PDF]
This paper proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy framework to improve drug infusion rate in closed-loop control of anesthesia. The proposed controller provides a sub-optimal propofol administration rate as input to reach the desired bispectral index, which is the output of the system, in both induction and maintenance phases.
