Motor Evoked Potentials Improve Targeting in Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery
Abstract Objectives One of the main challenges posed by the surgical deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedure is the successful targeting of the structures of interest and avoidance of side effects, especially in asleep surgery. Here, intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) might serve as tool to identify the pyramidal tract.

Haemodynamic Changes After Prophylactic Doses of Ephedrine, Phenylephrine, Norepinephrine Versus Placebo During Induction of General Anaesthesia: A Randomised Trial. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Ephedrine, phenylephrine, and norepinephrine are commonly used to manage hypotension during the induction of anaesthesia. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether prophylactic administration of assumed equipotent doses of these vasopressors could maintain systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) and heart rate (HR) within ...

Abstract Objective During the surgical procedure of deep brain stimulation (DBS), insertion of an electrode in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) frequently causes a temporary improvement of motor symptoms, known as the microlesion effect (MLE). The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the intraoperative MLE and the clinical ...

The target concentration of remifentanil to suppress the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation during inhalational induction with desflurane [PDF]
BackgroundAnesthesia induction with desflurane is troublesome because of the frequent sympathetic hyperactivity during desflurane administration. We thought that a low concentration of desflurane combined with a target-controlled infusion (TCI) of ...

Background There are scenarios where pre-mixing and infusing analgesic and anaesthetic agents as a single intravenous (IV) solution is highly desirable; however, it is important to ensure the agents are compatible when mixed.

Remifentanil-induced pronociceptive effect and its prevention with pregabalin [PDF]
BackgroundExperimental and clinical studies have suggested that remifentanil probably causes acute tolerance or postinfusion hyperalgesia. This study was designed to confirm whether remifentanil given during propofol anesthesia induced postoperative pain

The effects of rapid increases in desflurane and sevoflurane concentrations on spirometry in humans during balanced anesthesia with remifentanil [PDF]
The recently introduced open-target-controlled infusion (TCI) systems can be programmed with any pharmacokinetic model, and allow either plasma- or effect-site targeting. With effect-site targeting the goal is to achieve a user-defined target effect-site
