Background: Tracheal extubation, the purposeful removal of endotracheal tube from trachea, can be associated with detrimental hemodynamic and airway responses. Lidocaine fentanyl are known to suppress response extubation during Ear, nose, throat surgeries. Smooth tracheal is important after surgeries.Objective: To compare effect intravenous lidocaine on attenuation for (ENT) surgeries at JLNMCH...

BACKGROUND Prolonged mechanical ventilation after liver transplantation has been associated with deleterious clinical outcomes, so early tracheal extubation posttransplant is now increasing. However, there is no universal clinical criterion for predicting early extubation in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We investigated specific predictors of early extubation after LDLT. METHODS ...

In intensive care and anesthesia, the demand for computerized medical assistants is potentially considerable, to filter and synthesize the growing mass of clinical parameters and information available. The authors detail how knowledge-based computerized assistants can be constructed for automatic ventilation management and report clinical results obtained with such a system for closed-loop cont...

BACKGROUND Coughing during emergence from general anaesthesia may be detrimental, particularly after cervical spine surgery. We compared the effect of propofol or sevoflurane anaesthesia on the incidence and severity of coughing during recovery in patients undergoing cervical spine surgery via an anterior approach. As a secondary aim, we also evaluated the influences of smoking and estimated re...
