MRI of the spine requires patient to stay still in lying down position. With on severe excruciating pain, supine is not always feasible during and any intervention with least possible adverse effect preferred. Sedation suite compatible monitors which readily available all centers. The erector spinae plane block provides analgesia via its action ventral rami spinal nerves. ESP a safe easy proced...

BACKGROUND Anxiety control remains an important concern in dental practice. We evaluated the incidence, nature, and sequelae of complications during and after minor oral surgeries performed under intravenous midazolam and fentanyl sedation using the titration technique. METHODS The medical records of patients who had undergone minor oral surgeries under moderate intravenous midazolam and fent...

A nulliparous non-descript mare presented at full term with a history of straining (utero-abdominal contractions) for the last 24 hours. Vaginal examination revealed dead foal in posterior presentation bilateral hip flexion and dorso-iliac left position. Pre-operatively, 5 mL Tetanus toxoid as intramuscular injection, 3g Ceftriaxone 4 Dexamethasone 3L 5% Dextrose normal saline (DNS) intravenous...

Intravenous sedation is effective to reduce fear and anxiety in dental treatment. It also has been used for behavior modification technique in dental patients with special needs. Midazolam and propofol are commonly used for intravenous sedation. Although there have been many researches on the effects of midazolam and propofol on vital function and the recovery profile, little is known about mus...

AIM To quantify and qualify how conscious sedation was used in general dental practice before the introduction of formal sedation teaching in the Republic of Ireland. OBJECTIVES 1. To determine the extent of use of oral, inhalational and intravenous sedation; 2. to determine the training and experience of general dental practitioners providing conscious sedation; 3. to determine the perceived...

BACKGROUND Sedatives are administered to 85% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. The most commonly used sedatives are intravenous benzodiazepines and propofol. These agents are associated with over-sedation in 40 to 60% of patients, which can lead to prolonged intubation, delirium and drug-induced hypotension. Evidence is increasing that volatile anesthetic agents are associated with faster ...

background: decreasing intraocular pressure (iop) and preventing the iop rising during cataract surgery, is one of the most important factors in successful cataract surgery. this study was conducted to investigate the effects of intravenous lidocaine on iop in cataract surgery under sedation. methods: the study was a double blind controlled trial which firstly, the patient’s iop was measured. t...

Two new modes of sedation; patient-controlled sedation (PCS) and intranasal sedation (INS) were compared with the traditional bolus intravenous sedation (BIVS) while delivering dental care to apprehensive patients in a specialized dental fear clinic. Effective sedation was evaluated in a randomized, prospective study in 42 ASA 1 and 2 patients, in a factorial design. Eighteen patients were seda...

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...

INTRODUCTION As a result of the increased number of both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in pediatric outpatients, sedation and analgesia have gained relevance in this context. OBJECTIVE To characterize the type of sedation and analgesia used by pediatric sedation teams in procedures done outside the operating room, as well as its safety and outcome. POPULATION AND METHODS All procedu...
