Effect of anesthetic technique on outcome after abdominal aortic surgery

Abdominal Aortic Surgery: Anesthetic Implications

The objectives of the review are to highlight the clinical characteristics of the patient population; to assess multivariate risk factor analysis and the invasive/non-invasive techniques available for risk factor identification and management in this high-risk surgical population; to assess the major hemodynamic, metabolic, and regional blood flow changes associated with aortic cross-clamping/u...

Intraoperative Anesthetic Management for Vascular and Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Surgery

Anesthetic Management of Abdominal Surgery

General or regional anesthesia can be appropriate for patients undergoing abdominal surgery. In common practice, balanced anesthesia with inhalational anesthetics, opioids and neuromuscular blockers are used in general anesthesia for abdominal surgical procedures. Endotracheal intubation as well as Laryngeal Mask Airway can be used for airway control. Regional anesthesia, mainly central blocks,...

Effect of Perioperative Management on Outcome of Patients after Craniosynostosis Surgery

BACKGROUND Craniosynostosis results from premature closure of one or more cranial sutures, leading to deformed calvaria and craniofacial skeleton at birth. Postoperative complications and outcome in intensive care unit (ICU) is related to surgical method and perioperative management. This study determined the perioperative risk factors, which affect outcome of patients after craniosynostosis...
