Tye dynamic of proinflammatory cytokines levels in parturients serum after caesarian section under total intravenous anaesthesia

Total intravenous anaesthesia in children

The use of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) in children has become a popular technique for the induction and maintenance of anaesthesia following the introduction of newer short-acting drugs and more elaborate delivery systems. Advances in microprocessor technology and increased complexity of pharmacokinetic modelling have further refined TIVA to target controlled infusions (TCI). TCI deliv...

Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (tiva) and Partial Intravenous Anaesthesia (piva)

Recovery after total intravenous general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia for total knee arthroplasty: a randomized trial.

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to compare the effects of general anaesthesia (GA) and spinal anaesthesia (SA) on the need for postoperative hospitalization and early postoperative comfort in patients undergoing fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS One hundred and twenty subjects were randomly allocated to receive either intrathecal bupivacaine (SA group) or GA with target c...

Correlation between serum amyloid-A and serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with Behçet's disease

Introduction Behçet’s disease (BD) is an inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology, unanimously recognized as both autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease. Indeed many of its classical manifestations overlap with those of monogenic autoinflammatory disorders. Clinically disease is characterized by multiple organ involvement, in particular by the “triple symptom complex”, consisting of recurren...

Sore throat and hoarseness after total intravenous anaesthesia.

BACKGROUND Sore throat and hoarseness are common complications, but these have not been studied after total i.v. anaesthesia. METHODS We prospectively studied 418 surgical patients, aged 15-92 yr, after total i.v. anaesthesia with propofol, fentanyl and ketamine to assess possible factors associated with sore throat and hoarseness. RESULT We found sore throat in 50% and hoarseness in 55% of...
