conclusions both protocols provide excellent anesthesia, but patients receiving sufentnail had more stable anesthesia and less postoperative pain. objectives we planned to compare two clinical protocols for tiva with propofol, and either sufentanil or alfentanil in regards to postoperative pain, hemodynamic stability during the case and time for emergence from anesthesia. patinets and methods t...

their optimal clinical utilization. History and Principles Whereas inhaled anesthetics are useful for the induction of anesthesia, particularly in the absence of IV access as occurs commonly in pediatric anesthesia, IV anesthetics have become the primary agents for the induction of general anesthesia. The development of IV anesthetics followed the late 19th-century introduction of hollow needle...

Objective The aim of this study was to find out whether the preoperative continuation angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) treatment is associated with intraoperative hypotension immediately after induction general anesthesia in elective noncardiac surgeries. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Single institutional university hospital. ...

The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effects of premedication with ketoprofen and midazolam in birds. A total of 24 male pigeons with an approximate weight of 300 g were divided into four equal groups. The control group (Group I) was injected with ketamine alone. Groups II-IV were injected with ketoprofen alone, ketoprofen+ketamine, and midazolam+ketamine, respectively....

Background: Anesthesia is performed in two major methods including regional and general.The aim of this study was to compare the effect of anesthesia method (spinal and general) on oxidative stress indiabetic patients underwent diabetic amputation surgery.Methods: In this randomized control trial, 40 patients with diabetic foot who were candidate for foot amputationsurgery at our academic hospi...

background: halothane is the routine used inhalation anesthetic drug in the world but at present, there is an increasing interest for using intravenous anesthetics like propofol. the purpose of this study was to compare these anesthetic effects on hepatic enzymes.methods: from 2006 to 2007, this study was performed on fifty eight patients classified in class i of american society of anesthetics...

BACKGROUND Tetralogy of fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Anesthesia induction is a challenging issue in these patients due to the risk of worsening hypoxemia following decrease in pulmonary blood flow. We evaluated the effect of three anesthetic induction regimens on the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2%) in children with TOF. METHODS Seventy six children age...

Several factors can affect the perioperative immune function. We evaluated the effect of propofol and desflurane anesthesia on the surgery-induced immune perturbation in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. The patients were randomly assigned to receive propofol (n = 20) or desflurane (n = 20) anesthesia. The total and differential white blood cell counts were determined with lymphocyte s...

OBJECTIVE To compare 8% or 5% sevoflurane and propofol induction according to the ease of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement and hemodynamic effects in elderly patients. METHODS Ninety unpremedicated American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) I-III male patients >65 years, undergoing day case urological surgical intervention under general anesthesia at the Numune Education and Research Ho...

OBJECTIVE Nitrous oxide is a common inhalation anesthetic agent in general anesthesia. While it is widely accepted as a safe anesthetic agent, evidence suggests exposure to this gas, leads to hyperhomocysteinemia. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of single-dose intravenous infusions of vitamin B12, before and after the induction of nitrous oxide anesthesia on homocysteine levels ...
