چکیده

A randomized double-blind crossover study using Omnipaque 350 mg l/ml (iohexol) and Hexabrix 320 mg l/ml (ioxaglate) in 53 patients undergoing intravenous digital subtraction angiography of the carotid arteries revealed no significant differences in image quality. Some differences were found in subjective side effects that favored Omnipaque. Nausea was reported in four patients after injection of Hexabrix, and a metallic taste was significantly more frequent (p less than 0.01) with this contrast medium. The patients' preference for Omnipaque was also statistically significant (p less than 0.01). It was concluded that both contrast media are suitable for intravenous digital subtraction angiography.

Three new low-osmolality contrast agents: a comparative study of patient discomfort.

Relative patient discomfort resulting from carotid injections of three new low-osmolality contrast agents was assessed in 78 patients. Omnipaque-300 (iohexol), Isovue-300 (iopamidol), and hexabrix (ioxaglate) were sequentially injected into both common carotid arteries of each patient. Patients were asked to rank the relative intensities of the three injections on each side. Mean patient rankin...

Analgesic Efficacy of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion in Cesarean Section under Spinal Anesthesia: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blind Study

Background & Objective: Nowadays, conventional analgesic agents that are usually used for pain killing after cesarean sections do not provide enough analgesia with infrequent serious side effects. Lidocaine has been suggested as an adjuvant analgesic agent for postoperative pain relief. We designed this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of intr...

Limited acute influences of electrical baroreceptor activation on insulin sensitivity and glucose delivery: a randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical study.

Arterial baroreflexes may regulate resistance vessels supplying glucose to skeletal muscle by modulating efferent sympathetic nervous system activity. We hypothesized that selective manipulation of baroreflex activity through electrical carotid sinus stimulation influences insulin sensitivity by changing muscular glucose delivery. We enrolled 16 hypertensive patients who responded to treatment ...
