Cerebral and cardiovascular effects of analgesic doses of ketamine during a target controlled general anesthesia: a prospective randomized study [PDF]
Introduction: Ketamine is increasingly being used in various pain settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of an analgesic dose of ketamine in the bispectral index (BIS), spectral edge frequency (SEF-95), density spectral array (DSA),

Background Hyperthermia is relatively rare during general anesthesia; however, a few studies have been conducted on hyperthermia and the neuromuscular blockade (NMB) induced by rocuronium, and the reversal of NMB by sugammadex. We investigated the effect

Do Complexity Measures of Frontal EEG Distinguish Loss of Consciousness in Geriatric Patients Under Anesthesia? [PDF]
While geriatric patients have a high likelihood of requiring anesthesia, they carry an increased risk for adverse cognitive outcomes from its use. Previous work suggests this could be mitigated by better intraoperative monitoring using indexes defined by

A comparative study of different induction techniques (Propofol-Placebo, Propofol-Ephedrine and Propofol- Placebo-Crystalloid) on intubating conditions after rocuronium administration [PDF]
This was a prospective randomized double blind controlled study to compare intubating conditions at 60 seconds with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg by using three different induction techniques: propofol-placebo (PP), propofol-ephedrine (PE) and propofol ...

ABSTRACT The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine (Dex) as an adjuvant for ropivacaine in a thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) combined with an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for improving early quality of recovery and postoperative pain after transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).

Pharmacodynamic behaviour of rocuronium in the elderly [PDF]
This study compared the potency and time course of action of rocuronium (ORG 9426) in elderly and young patients during nitrous oxide-opioid anaesthesia. One hundred ASA physical status I-II patients (60, aged 65-80 yr, and 40, aged 20-45 yr) were studied by measuring the force of contraction of the adductor pollicis in response to train-of-four ...

Reversal of Pipecuronium-Induced Moderate Neuromuscular Block with Sugammadex in the Presence of a Sevoflurane Anesthetic: A Randomized Trial [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pipecuronium is a steroidal neuromuscular blocking agent. Sugammadex, a relaxant binding [gamma]-cyclodextrin derivative, reverses the effect of rocuronium, vecuronium, and pancuronium.

ABSTRACT Drug‐induced immune reactions are an important burden for patients and health systems. They can be classified into immediate‐drug hypersensitivity reactions (IDHRs) and delayed‐DHRs (DDHRs) based on their phenotype. Drugs do not always behave as allergens and need to bind to proteins, forming adducts.

Influence of obstructive jaundice on pharmacodynamics of rocuronium. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Anesthetics are variable in patients with obstructive jaundice. The minimum alveolar concentration awake of desflurane is reduced in patients with obstructive jaundice, while it has no effect on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of ...
