A randomized prospective study of desflurane versus isoflurane in minimal flow anesthesia using "equilibration time" as the change-over point to minimal flow

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
Background: In the administration of minimal flow anesthesia, traditionally a fixed time period of high flow has been used before changing over to minimal flow.

Atomistic study of lipid membranes containing chloroform: looking for a lipid-mediated mechanism of anesthesia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The molecular mechanism of general anesthesia is still a controversial issue. Direct effect by linking of anesthetics to proteins and indirect action on the lipid membrane properties are the two hypotheses in conflict.

Effects of surgery and anesthetic choice on immunosuppression and cancer recurrence

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2018
Background The relationship between surgery and anesthetic-induced immunosuppression and cancer recurrence remains unresolved. Surgery and anesthesia stimulate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) to cause ...

Anesthetic care for patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2020
Introduction: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis, an autoimmune disorder resulting from antibodies directed against the NMDA (glutamate) receptor, is the second most frequent cause of immune-mediated encephalitis.

Anesthetic considerations during surgical intervention in Woake’s syndrome -a case report [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2019
Background Woake’s syndrome (WS) is a recurrent nasal polyposis, accompanied by broadening of the nose, frontal sinus aplasia, dyscrinia, and bronchiectasis. There has been no previous report on anesthetic management in patients with WS. Case We describe

Low dose isoflurane exerts opposing effects on neuronal network excitability in neocortex and hippocampus.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The anesthetic excitement phase occurring during induction of anesthesia with volatile anesthetics is a well-known phenomenon in clinical practice. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying anesthetic-induced excitation are still unclear.

A conserved behavioral state barrier impedes transitions between anesthetic-induced unconsciousness and wakefulness: evidence for neural inertia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
One major unanswered question in neuroscience is how the brain transitions between conscious and unconscious states. General anesthetics offer a controllable means to study these transitions. Induction of anesthesia is commonly attributed to drug-induced

A Double-Edged Sword: Volatile Anesthetic Effects on the Neonatal Brain

Brain Sciences, 2014
The use of volatile anesthetics, a group of general anesthetics, is an exceedingly common practice. These anesthetics may have neuroprotective effects. Over the last decade, anesthetic induced neurotoxicity in pediatric populations has gained a certain ...

Type of anesthesia for cancer resection surgery: No differential impact on cancer recurrence in mouse models of breast cancer.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundSurgery is essential for curative treatment of solid tumors. Evidence from recent retrospective clinical analyses suggests that use of propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia during cancer resection surgery is associated with improved ...
