The impact of ketamine and thiopental anesthesia on ultraweak photon emission and oxidative-nitrosative stress in rat brains [PDF]

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience
Anesthetics such as ketamine and thiopental, commonly used for inducing unconsciousness, have distinct effects on neuronal activity, metabolism, and cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Ketamine increases heart rate and blood pressure while preserving

Depth of Anaesthesia Measured by Patient State Index (PSi) Does Not Correlate With Increased Seizure Duration During Electroconvulsive Therapy. [PDF]

Acta Anaesthesiol Scand
ABSTRACT Background Seizure duration during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) correlates with treatment efficacy and may be influenced by depth of anaesthesia. The Patient State Index (PSi), derived from processed EEG, offers a potential method to monitor depth of anaesthesia during ECT.

The Effect of Adding Remifentanil to Thiopental for Anaesthesia Induction on the Success of Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertion: A Randomised Double-Blind Clinical Trial [PDF]

Pharmaceuticals
Background: Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting µ-receptor agonist, is used with propofol for optimal laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. However, no studies have assessed its effects when combined with thiopental on LMA conditions.

Comparison of the Effects of Propofol–Dexmedetomidine and Thiopental–Dexmedetomidine Combinations on the Success of Classical Laryngeal Mask Airway Insertions, Hemodynamic Responses, and Pharyngolaryngeal Morbidity [PDF]

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Dexmedetomidine is a potent selective α2 receptor agonist with analgesic and sedative effects. Many reports indicate that compared to fentanyl, the combination of dexmedetomidine with propofol provides comparably acceptable ...

L-Quebrachitol Enhances Sedative Effect of Diazepam Through GABAergic Pathway: Animal and Computational Studies. [PDF]

Brain Behav
L‐quebrachitol (LQL) significantly enhanced the sedative effects of diazepam in thiopental sodium‐induced chicks by reducing sleep latency and prolonging duration. Molecular docking revealed LQL's interaction with GABAA receptor (α1 and β2 subunits), supporting a GABAergic mechanism and highlighting its potential as a safe, natural sedative agent ...

A comparative study of the effect of anesthesia induction with the use of four drug combinations including “propofol,” “etomidate-propofol,” “thiopental,” and “midazolam-thiopental” on hemodynamic changes during the insertion of laryngeal mask in eye surgery

Advanced Biomedical Research, 2022
Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacies of four anesthetic induction drugs (thiopental, propofol, midazolam-thiopental, and etomidate-propofol) on cardiovascular response during laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement in eye surgery ...
