Feasibility of intravenous ketamine infusion for refractory headache

Continuous intravenous infusion of ketamine for maintenance sedation.

Ketamine HCl is a rapidly acting general anesthetic with sedative and analgesic properties that has been reported to have favorable effects on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. The goal of this review is to determine the hemodynamic and pulmonary effects of continuous intravenous (IV) ketamine infusion in mechanically ventilated patients, and to determine whether sufficient evidence exi...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
