The thermodynamics of general anesthesia [PDF]

Biophys. J. 92 (2007) 3159-3165, 2006
It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found close to body temperature in biomembranes. We propose a thermodynamic extension of the Meyer-Overton

Effect of local infiltration analgesia, peripheral nerve blocks, general and spinal anesthesia on early functional recovery and pain control in total knee arthroplasty

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2018
BackgroundPostoperative pain control and enhanced mobilization, muscle strength and range of motion following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are pivotal requisites to optimize rehabilitation and early recovery.

Rapid sequence spinal anesthesia versus general anesthesia: A prospective randomized study of anesthesia to delivery time in category-1 caesarean section

Journal of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Critical Care, 2016
Background and Aims: Spinal anesthesia is the preferred technique over general anesthesia in caesarean section. General anesthesia is still used for category-1 emergency caesarean section because of time constraints.

Higher occurrence of nausea and vomiting after total hip arthroplasty using general versus spinal anesthesia: an observational study. [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Under the assumption that postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may occur after total hip arthroplasty (THA) regardless of the anesthetic technique used, it is not clear whether general (GA) or spinal (SA) anesthesia has higher causal ...

Virtual Reality Distraction during Endoscopic Urologic Surgery under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2018
Sedation protocols during spinal anesthesia often involve sedative drugs associated with complications. We investigated whether virtual reality (VR) distraction could be applied during endoscopic urologic surgery under spinal anesthesia and yield better ...

Norepinephrine versus Ephedrine to Maintain Arterial Blood Pressure during Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Delivery: A Prospective Double-blinded Trial

Anesthesia Essays and Researches, 2018
Background: Ephedrine was conventionally regarded as the first-choice drug to maintain maternal blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery, due to its stimulant activity on α- and β-adrenergic receptors.

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

Effect of General and Spinal Anesthesia on Hepatic and Renal functions and Hemodynamic parameters of Iraqi Women Undergo Cesarean Section: Comparative Study

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2018
Both general and spinal anesthesia can be use during caesarean section. Spinal anesthesia is preferred by anesthesiologists and gynecologists because of its beneficial effects for both mothers and their fetuses.

Pulmonary Emboli Manifestation during Spinal Anesthesia for Cesarean Section in two Pregnant Women [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Pregnancy causes a small increase in risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but a large increase in concern upon presentation during cesarean section with symptoms of pulmonary embolism (PE).
