BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic kidney surgery is performed mostly under general anesthesia. Regional techniques, primarily epidural anesthesia / analgesia (EA), help improve the surgical results. However, EA often accompanied by several complications and side effects. The thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) considered a reasonable effective alternative.
 OBJECTIVE: To conduct comparative analysis...

the aim of this study is to find causes of cardiac disrhytmias during ophthalmic surgeries in patients under general anesthesia with no history of heart disease in iran’s educational hospitals. this was a univarient study. a sample of 250 patients selected randomly. data were gathered by four resources: interview, patient’s documents, kind of treatment selected by anesthesiologist and monitorin...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two injections doses of magnesium sulfate for controlling and reducing hemodynamic changes caused by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in pregnant women who were candidates for caesarean section with general anesthesia. methods: in this controlled randomized double-blind clinical trial, 165 pregnant women who were candidates...

to study the role of preoperative intravenous magnesium sulphate in decreasing post-cesarean pain and opioid requirement during first 24hrs.in a double blind randomized clinical trial, prior to induction of general anesthesia, fifty elective cesarean candidates were randomly assigned to one of the two groups of placebo or magnesium sulfate. after surgery visual analogue scale (vas) and infused ...

acute paraplegia is a rare but catastrophic complication of surgeries performed on aorta and corrective operations of vertebral column. trauma to spinal cord after spinal anesthesia and ischemia of spinal cord also may lead to acute paraplegia. acute paraplegia as a complication of general anesthesia in surgeries performed on sites other than aorta and vertebral column is very rare. here we pre...

A pproaches to sedation in the electrophysiology (EP) laboratory range from intravenous sedation techniques to general anesthesia (GA) (Table 1). Although the provision of GA requires a dedicated anesthesia provider, controversy exists as to whether intravenous sedation in this complex patient population can or should be undertaken by a proceduralist-directed nurse-administered (PDNA) model. In...

OBJECTIVE The ultimate goal of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is day surgery. We evaluated the potential of a new awake CABG protocol using only epidural anesthesia in realizing day surgery. METHODS Seventy-two patients who underwent awake off-pump CABG (OPCAB) in our institute from March 2003 were studied. One day before surgery, an epidural catheter was placed at ...
