Top-down mechanisms of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness
The question of how structurally and pharmacologically diverse general anesthetics disrupt consciousness has persisted since the nineteenth century. There has traditionally been a significant focus on "bottom-up" mechanisms of anesthetic action, in terms of sensory processing, arousal systems, and structural scales. However, recent evidence suggests that the neural mechanisms of anesthetic-indu...
متن کاملReconfiguration of network hub structure after propofol-induced unconsciousness.
INTRODUCTION General anesthesia induces unconsciousness along with functional changes in brain networks. Considering the essential role of hub structures for efficient information transmission, the authors hypothesized that anesthetics have an effect on the hub structure of functional brain networks. METHODS Graph theoretical network analysis was carried out to study the network properties of...
متن کاملLocal Anesthetic-Induced Neurotoxicity
This review summarizes current knowledge concerning incidence, risk factors, and mechanisms of perioperative nerve injury, with focus on local anesthetic-induced neurotoxicity. Perioperative nerve injury is a complex phenomenon and can be caused by a number of clinical factors. Anesthetic risk factors for perioperative nerve injury include regional block technique, patient risk factors, and loc...
متن کاملThis is no humbug: anesthetic agent-induced unconsciousness and sleep are visibly different.
EVER since 1846, when Boston dentist William Thomas Green Morton, in front of a group of skeptical surgeons, administered diethyl ether to a patient about to undergo a surgical operation, we have known that clinical anesthesia is no humbug, and we have been interested in its mechanism of action. In this issue of ANESTHESIOLOGY, Boveroux et al. provide some exciting new data that shed some light...
متن کاملNocebo-induced hyperalgesia during local anesthetic injection.
Common practice during local anesthetic injection is to warn the patient using words such as: "You will feel a big bee sting; this is the worst part." Our hypothesis was that using gentler words for administration of the local anesthetic improves pain perception and patient comfort. One hundred forty healthy women at term gestation requesting neuraxial analgesia were randomized to either a "pla...
