Introduction: Everyday, millions of people around the world go through phlebotomy, either to donate blood or for therapeutic intention. The most important worrisome adverse effects are hemodynamic alterations. In this study, hemodynamic changes following blood donation were assessed. Methods & Materials: Three hundred laborers who donated blood voluntarily were enrolled in this study. Blood pr...

Background & Aims: Postpartum hemorrhage is one of the life-threatening complications after labor and cesarean section. Its prevalence is 6 percent. Metratonia is the most common cause of this complication. Some medications can prevent it. Oxytocin is the most common uterine vasoconstrictor and is used routinely after delivery for decreasing hemorrhage. The aim of this study is to compare hemod...

Background:Use of drugs with short apnea duration and less hemodynamic changes for intubation of trachea in intensive care units is necessary. This study compares the effects of propofol and sodium thiopental on hemodynamic changes and apnea duration after tracheal intubation in patients admitted to intensive care units. Methods:In this double blind clinical trial, 25 ICU-admitted patients were...

Background: Studies have shown that postoperative sore throat is the most common complication of tracheal intubation, However, the actual incidence and extent of it are not well documented. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the incidence of sore throat and hemodynamic Changes in Macintosh, Glidescope Laryngoscope and laryngeal mask airway  techniques in elective surg...

Background & Aim: Physiologic signs of anxiety usually change hemodynamic variables in patients undergoing heart catheterization. This study carried out to determine the effect of Orientation Program on hemodynamic variables in patient undergoing heart catheterization. Methods & Materials: In this experimental study, 60 patients undergoing heart catheterization were randomly assigned to eith...

Introduction: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation necessitate to start a surgery and induction of general anesthesia as well as the maintenance of the air way and to provide ventilation. However, Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation may lead to hemodynamic response that appear with the symptoms of hypertension tachycardia, arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia and results in myocardial infarction...
