Noradrenergic trespass in anesthetic and sedative states.
945 November 2012 I N this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Hu et al.1 delve into the mechanisms of hypnotic action of potent volatile anesthetic agents as well as dexmedetomidine; these data build upon previous work from this and other laboratories that collectively provide insights that may affect how these agents are used in clinical practice.2–8 Using mice that lack the dopamine-βhydroxylase (DβH) ...
متن کاملSleep and Sedative States Induced by Targeting the Histamine and Noradrenergic Systems
Sedatives target just a handful of receptors and ion channels. But we have no satisfying explanation for how activating these receptors produces sedation. In particular, do sedatives act at restricted brain locations and circuitries or more widely? Two prominent sedative drugs in clinical use are zolpidem, a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, and dexmedetomidine (DEX), a selective α2...
متن کاملFospropofol, a new sedative anesthetic, and its utility in the perioperative period.
Fospropofol is an intravenous sedative-anesthetic agent that is FDA-approved for monitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation in adult patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. As a prodrug of propofol, fospropofol's pharmacologic activity results from its breakdown by alkaline phosphatase and release of propofol, which is the active molecule. It exhibits a longer time to peak clini...
متن کاملControl of Hemodynamic and Anesthetic States in Critical Care Patients
A nonlinear canine circulatory model, which has been used to study the effect of inotropic and vasoactive drugs on hemodynamic variables, has been extended to include propofol pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Propofol blood concentration is used as measure for depth of anesthesia. The simulation model is used to design and test a control strategy, which simultaneously regulates hemodynami...
متن کاملExtending the Anesthetic Duration of Nitrous Oxide with Valerian, an Herbal Sedative.
Following the Civil War, American concern mounted about the anesthetic safety of ether and of chloroform. After reviving the use of nitrous oxide for brief anesthetics, dentists and physicians had to hurdle new obstacles. Because most nitrous oxide administrations lacked supplementary oxygen, a roughly 50-s inhalation of 100% laughing gas might yield as little as 30 s procedurally for tooth ext...
