Effect of isoflurane versus propofol-remifentanil anesthesia on neuromuscular blockade and hemodynamic responses by cisatracurium bolus injection

Effect of isoflurane versus propofol-remifentanil anesthesia on neuromuscular blockade and hemodynamic responses by cisatracurium bolus injection

BACKGROUND Inhalational anesthetics potentiate nondepolarizing muscle relaxants. Cisatracurium is a recently introduced neuromuscular blocker in Korea. We studied the effect of inhalational anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on neuromuscular blockades and hemodynamic responses by cisatracurium bolus injection. METHODS Forty patients undergoing elective surgery were randomly di...

Effect of tracheal lidocaine on intubating conditions during propofol-remifentanil target-controlled infusion without neuromuscular blockade in day-case anesthesia

BACKGROUND Lidocaine is a useful intravenous and topical adjunct to facilitate tracheal intubation. We evaluated the effect of tracheal lidocaine on tracheal intubating conditions without neuromuscular blocking agent and hemodynamics during anesthesia induction with propofol and remifentanil target-controlled infusion (TCI). METHODS Fifty patients, aged 18-60 years, scheduled for closed reduc...

Remifentanil versus Fentanyl for Assisted Reproductive Technologies :Effect on Hemodynamic Recovery from Anesthesia and Outcome of ART Cycles

Hemodynamic differences in sevoflurane versus propofol anesthesia.

The aim of the study was to compare the effect of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on myocardial contractility during laparotomic cholecystectomy using transesophageal echo-Doppler. In the study, 40 patients were randomized into two groups, depending on whether they received sevoflurane or propofol anesthesia. Heart rate, cardiac index, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection time and accel...

The effect of isoflurane anesthesia on memory

Memory and learning are considered as the most complicated and important processes of behavioral sciences. On the other hand, considering the wide .and progressively increasing applications of anesthetic agents all over the world, it is of great importance to have a reasonable knowledge regarding their effects on the memory process and its retrieval. The main purpose of this study was to evalua...
