Sustainability Standards in Pediatric Anesthesia: Quality Initiative to Reduce Costly Environmentally Harmful Volatile Anesthetics. [PDF]

Pediatr Qual Saf, 2023
BACKGROUND: The emission and entrapment of greenhouse gases (GHG) inside the atmosphere is one of the leading causes of global warming. Commonly administered anesthetics have global warming potential up to 2,000 times greater than carbon dioxide.

Propofol-Based Anesthesia Maintenance and/or Volatile Anesthetics during Intracranial Aneurysm Repair: A Comparative Analysis of Neurological Outcomes. [PDF]

J Clin Med, 2023
Background: Volatile and intravenous anesthetics have substantial effects on physiological functions, notably influencing neurological function and susceptibility to injury. Despite the importance of the anesthetic approach, data on its relative risks or

Volatile versus total intravenous anesthesia for 30-day mortality following non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury.

PLoS ONE, 2020
We evaluated whether volatile anesthetics can improve the postoperative outcomes of non-cardiac surgery in patients with preoperative myocardial injury defined by the cardiac troponin elevation.

The Power of Education to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Volatile Anesthetics in Clinical Practice. [PDF]

Anesth Analg
BACKGROUND: Due to their chemical nature as fluorinated hydrocarbon compounds, volatile anesthetics are highly potent greenhouse gases, with desflurane having by far the largest CO2-equivalent (CO2e) footprint.

OXY-SCORE and Volatile Anesthetics: A New Perspective of Oxidative Stress in EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair-A Randomized Clinical Trial. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
An aortic aneurysm (AA) is a life-threatening condition. Oxidative stress may be a common pathway linking multiple mechanisms of an AA, including vascular inflammation and metalloproteinase activity.

Risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting after the removal of impacted third molars: a cross-sectional study

BMC Oral Health, 2021
Background A better understanding of the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) could improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for PONV and its onset after third molar impaction surgery, and to demonstrate

Volatile anesthetics influence blood-brain barrier integrity by modulation of tight junction protein expression in traumatic brain injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) results in cerebral edema formation, which is a major cause for high mortality after traumatic brain injury (TBI).

C. elegans and volatile anesthetics [PDF]

WormBook, 2007
The mechanism of action of volatile anesthetics remains an enigma, despite their worldwide use. The nematode C. elegans has served as an excellent model to unravel this mystery. Genes and gene sets that control the behavior of the animal in volatile anesthetics have been identified, using multiple endpoints to mimic the phenomenon of anesthesia in man.
