Immobilization oranesthesia was necessary to complete the procedure.Treatment and Outcome - Immobilization was induced using intramuscular injection ofvarious drug combinations (xylazine, diazepam or midazolam in combination withketamine).

The kinetics of inhaled anesthetics is fundamental to the clinical practice of anesthesia. It explains the time course of anesthetic movement from the vaporizer and flow meters to the patient’s brain. In 1950 and 1951, Kety wrote a pair of seminal articles on this subject, one for anesthesiologists1 and one for mathematicians2. Interest in those articles led Edmund I Eger II to direct his caree...

Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD) is a common complication of central nervous system in postoperative anesthesia. The paper was to study the effect of two anesthesia methods on POCD in elderly orthopedic patients. Sixty-five elderly orthopedic patients underwent elective single knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into two groups. Inhalation anesthesia combined with nerve block was ...

remifentanil is an ultra short acting opioid that is suitable for many operations and is wildly used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. in this article we have reported the incidence of abdominal pain after cataract surgery in patients with remifentanil based anesthesia. this study is a randomized single blind clinical trial on 300 patients who were candidates for elective cataract su...

PURPOSE To introduce a model of equipment for inhalation anesthesia in rats that offers better control of both flow and losses of ether during induction, maintenance, and recuperation. METHODS The equipment consists of an air compressor with two outlets, a closed glass induction chamber, a glass reservoir for the anesthetic agent, a pediatric inhalation mask, a three-way stopcock, a Y-connect...

OBJECTIVE To study the awakening of the elderly patients from propofol intravenous general anesthesia or sevoflurane inhalation general anesthesia combined with epidural block after radical gastric cancer surgery. METHOD Eighty cases receiving selective radical surgery for gastric cancer were included. They were aged 65-78 years and classified as ASA grade I-II. Using a random number table, t...

Materials and methods This retrospective study compared the results of anesthesia in patients who underwent inguinal herniorrhaphy using two different methods: inhalation anesthesia and balanced anesthesia. For the purposes of this study, inhalation anesthesia refers to an anesthetic technique in which the primary anesthetic is introduced to the bloodstream via the lungs rather than by injectio...
