A comparison of regional and general anesthesia in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy [PDF]
, 1996 Purpose: The optimal anesthetic for use during carotid endarterectomy is controversial. Advocates of regional anesthesia suggest that it may reduce the incidence of perioperative complications in addition to decreasing operative time and hospital costs ...

Reduced neural activity during volatile anesthesia compared to TIVA: evidence from a novel EEG signal processing analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Post-operative cognitive decline is a well-known phenomenon and of crucial importance especially in the elderly. General anesthesia can be accomplished by inhalation-based (volatile) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA). While their effects on post-operative symptoms have been investigated, little is known about their influence on brain ...

An Educational Module Explaining the Use of Quadratus Lumborum Blockade To Decrease Opioid Usage During Colorectal Surgery: A Quality Improvement Project [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Opioid usage has led to an epidemic within the United States. The usage of opioids in the perioperative period has contributed to this epidemic. However, opioids also have side effects that directly impact the physiologic recovery of patients.

Increasing Robustness of the Anesthesia Process from Difference Patient's Delay Using a State-Space Model Predictive Controller [PDF]
Procedia Engineering 15 (2011) 928-932, 2013 The process of anesthesia is nonlinear with time delay and also there are some constraints which have to be considered in calculating administrative drug dosage. We present an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) observer to estimate drug concentration in the patient's body and use this estimation in a state-space based Model of Predictive Controller (MPC) for

Membrane Nanodomains Homeostasis During Propofol Anesthesia as Function of Dosage and Temperature [PDF]
, 2020 Some anesthetics bind and potentiate gamma-aminobutyric-acid-type receptors, but no universal mechanism for general anesthesia is known. Furthermore, often encountered complications such as anesthesia induced amnesia are not understood. General anesthetics are hydrophobic molecules easily dissolving into lipid bilayers.
