The General Anesthetic Isoflurane Bilaterally Modulates Neuronal Excitability

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Volatile anesthetics induce hyperactivity during induction while producing anesthesia at higher concentrations. They also bidirectionally modulate many neuronal functions. However, the neuronal mechanism is unclear.

Obstructive sleep apnea as an independent predictor of postoperative delirium and pain: Protocol for an observational study of a surgical cohort [version 2; referees: 2 approved] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Introduction: Postoperative delirium and pain are common complications in adults, and are difficult both to prevent and treat. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in surgical patients, and has been suggested to be a risk factor for postoperative ...

USE OF INHALANT ANESTHETICS IN THREE SNAKE SPECIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Different snake species respond differently to various anesthetic agents. Hence, an anesthetic procedure developed for one species cannot necessarily be safely transferred to another species.

Ferroptosis Contributes to Isoflurane Neurotoxicity

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
The underlying mechanisms of isoflurane neurotoxicity in the developing brain remain unclear. Ferroptosis is a recently characterized form of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis or autophagy, characterized by iron-dependent reactive oxygen ...

Perioperative and anesthetic deaths: toxicological and medico legal aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Anesthesia has become safer during decades, though there is still a preventable mortality; the complexity of medical and surgical interventions, increasingly older and sicker patients, has created a host of new hazards in anesthesiology.

An innovative technique to improve safety of volatile anesthetics suction from the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2017
Context: Myocardial injury during cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Preclinical and clinical evidence of dose- and time-related cardioprotective effects of volatile anesthetic drugs exist ...

Chromosomal damage among medical staff occupationally exposed to volatile anesthetics, antineoplastic drugs, and formaldehyde

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Structural chromosomal aberrations in blood lymphocytes represent a biomarker for cellular damage caused by genotoxic carcinogens and are an indicator of increased cancer risk.

Mechanisms of Volatile Anesthetic-Induced Myocardial Protection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Volatile anesthetics protect myocardium against reversible and irreversible ischemic injury. Experimental evidence from several in vitro and in vivo animal models demonstrates that volatile agents enhance the recovery of stunned myocardium and reduce the
