CLINICAL PRACTICE Assessment of surgical stress during general anaesthesia

Comparison of Surgical Stress Index (SSI) Guided-analgesia and Standard Clinical Practice during Routine General Anaesthesia: a Pilot Study

A waking nightmare: how can we avoid accidental awareness during general anaesthesia?

Anaesthesia awareness is a terrifying prospect for any patient undergoing a surgical procedure and can cause considerable physical and psychological distress. Recommendations to reduce the risk of anaesthesia awareness include: undertaking a thorough preoperative assessment, ensuring that equipment has been checked, reducing drug error, consistent monitoring, and investment in safer technology....

Evaluation of several drug combinations for intraperitoneal anaesthesia in adult male rats

The objective of this study was to evaluate several drug combinations for intraperitoneal anaesthesia in laboratory rats. Following dose determination of anaesthetics in a pilot study, 45 healthy adult male rats were randomly assigned in 9 treatment groups and received propofol (alone or in combination with xylazine, midazolam, or ketamine) or ketamine (in combination with xylazine, midazolam, ...

Surgical stress index reflects surgical stress in gynaecological laparoscopic day-case surgery.

BACKGROUND Monitoring of analgesia remains a challenge during general anaesthesia. The surgical stress index (SSI) is derived from the photoplethysmographic waveform amplitude and the heart beat-to-beat interval. We evaluated the ability of SSI to measure surgical stress in patients undergoing gynaecological laparoscopy. Our hypothesis was that while keeping State Entropy (SE) at a predetermine...
