Induced Hypotension in Orthopaedic Surgery
نویسنده
چکیده
Since Enderby (1950) first described the use of pentamethonium for a temporary reduction of blood pressure in order to prevent excessive bleeding during surgical operations, only one report of the application of methonium compounds in orthopaedic surgery has appeared (Steven and Tovell 1954). A review of figures concerning blood loss and post-anaesthetic progress in 407 operations performed with the aid of hexamethonium bromide may therefore be of interest. The period under review is the first four years of its use at the Orthopaedic Department, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh.

Gambogic acid inhibits LPS-induced macrophage pro-inflammatory cytokine production mainly through suppression of the p38 pathway
Objective(s): In traditional Chinese medicine, gamboge can detoxify bodies, kill parasites, and act as a hemostatic agent. Recent studies have demonstrated that gambogic acid (GBA) suppressed inflammation in arthritis, and also presented antitumor effect. Thus, this study investigated the new biological properties of GBA on macrophages.Materials and Methods: RAW 264.7 cells were pretreated with...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Dexmedetomidine and Labetalol on Controlled Hypotension in Maxillofacial Surgery
Background & objectives: The use of controlled hypotension is important to reduce bleeding in some surgeries. This study aimed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) and labetalol for induced hypotension in maxillofacial fractures surgery. Methods: In this triple-blind randomized controlled clinical trial study, the patients with maxillofacial fractures were randomly divided into two...
متن کاملPerioperative blood loss and its reduction: the role of the anaesthetist.
Anaesthesia may influence intraoperative bleeding in several ways, both physiological and pharmacological. Hydrostatic arterial pressure may be altered physiologically by changes in ventilatory pattern, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and posture, and also by pharmacologically induced alterations in myocardial contractility and peripheral vascular tone. Other factors, such as hypoxia an...
متن کاملDiscrete Pathophysiology is Uncommon in Patients with Nonspecific Arm Pain
Background: Nonspecific symptoms are common in all areas of medicine. Patients and caregivers can be frustrated when an illness cannot be reduced to a discrete pathophysiological process that corresponds with the symptoms. We therefore asked the following questions: 1) Which demographic factors and psychological comorbidities are associated with change from an initial diagnosis of nonspecific...

Background: It is not always clear how to treat glenohumeral osteoarthritis, particularly in young patients. The goals ofthis study were to 1) quantify how patient age, activity level, symptoms, and radiographic findings impact the decisionmakingof shoulder specialists and 2) evaluate the observer reliability of the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grading system forprimary osteoarthritis of the shoulder...
