Etomidate is an intravenous induction agent that is associated with hemodynamic stability during intubation. The agent is therefore attractive for use in critically ill patients who have a high risk of hemodynamic instability during this procedure. However, etomidate causes adrenal suppression, which itself has been associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients. The ongoing deb...

background surgeon’s depend to a large degree on the amount of blood loss and a clear view of the surgical field, when conducting endoscopic procedures in order to achieve satisfactory outcomes. the anesthesiologist’s choice of method for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia plays a major role in achieving this goal. objectives this study was performed in order to compare the two most we...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a promising alternative to open surgery although concerns exist in regard to laparoscopic treatment of pheocromocytoma. This report compares the outcome of laparoscopic and conventional (open) resection for pheocromocytoma particular in regard to intraoperative hemodynamic stability and postoperative patient comfort. METHODS Seven patients laparoscopic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The authors evaluated the impact of morphologic and hemodynamic factors on multiple intracranial aneurysms and aimed to identify which parameters can be reliable indexes as one aneurysm ruptured, and the others did not. METHODS Between June 2011 and May 2014, 69 patients harboring multiple intracranial aneurysms (69 ruptured and 86 unruptured) were analyzed from 3D-digi...

introduction: hemodynamic alterations are a common complication during anesthetic induction with intravenous anesthesia. hypotension due to propofol injection may be very severe in cardiac vascular patient. ketamine produces the significant increasing but temporary in systematic blood stream, heartbeat, cardiac output through central sympathetic stimulation. objective : to determine effect of k...

objectives this study evaluates the effects of oral tizanidine on hemodynamic responses during operations and aims to determine the appropriate propofol dosage to maintain anesthesia under bis monitoring. materials and methods a double-blind clinical trial has been performed on 70 candidates for elective abdominal surgery undergoing general anesthesia in educational hospital of ghaem, mashhad, ...

background: to determine if the glidescope® videolaryngoscope (gvl) could attenuate the hemodynamic responses to orotracheal intubation compared with conventional macintosh laryngoscope. objectives: the aim of this relatively large randomized trial was to compare the hemodynamic stress responses during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation using gvl versus mcl amongst healthy adult individuals r...

BACKGROUND Nowadays laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is popular as one of the best choices for airway management. Low-flow anesthesia has some advantages like lower pollution, hemodynamic stability and cost effectiveness. Volatile anesthetics are widely used for anesthesia maintenance during operations. Sevoflurane has more hemodynamic stability compared to isoflurane, but there are few studies comp...
