Raising the issue of DNAR orders in vascular surgery patients
The Tracey Report has recently raised the status of Do Not Attempt Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (DNACPR) orders in the hospital setting.[1] Guidelines are in place both nationally and locally to provide advice to clinicians on when to discuss DNACPR, and the approach to be taken. There was concern that on a busy regional vascular surgery unit, discussion of resuscitation status was not regula...
متن کاملPediatric anesthesia morbidity and mortality in the perioperative period.
One of the most frequent questions asked of a pediatric anesthesiologist is "What are the risks of anesthesia for my child?" Unfortunately, few studies have examined the consequences of general anesthesia in children. We used data from a large pediatric anesthesia follow-up program at Winnipeg Children's Hospital (1982-1987) to determine rates of perioperative adverse events among children of d...
متن کاملPotassium in the perioperative period.
Potassium ions play a vital role at a cellular level. These ions are actively transported into cells, causing an electrical imbalance and a build up of potential energy. When this energy is released following correct stimulation, the cells perform their designated functions. When these functions relate mainly to the heart and skeletal muscles, nerve and renal activity, the importance of potassi...
متن کاملEpigenetics in the perioperative period.
The perioperative period is characterized by profound changes in the body's homoeostatic processes. This review seeks to address whether epigenetic mechanisms may influence an individual's reaction to surgery and anaesthesia. Evidence from animal and human studies suggests that epigenetic mechanisms can explain many facets of susceptibility to acute and chronic pain, making them potential thera...

Therefore this chapter will first focus on aspects of acid-base physiology that are relevant to most anesthesiologists. It will become clear that acid-base disorders may have a major clinical impact both on the patient scheduled for anesthesia and anesthetic drugs. But even more importantly, many clinical interventions by anesthesiologists may actually profoundly influence [H+] itself. The impo...
