BACKGROUND The first goal was to test the hypothesis that 100% inspired oxygen maintained for approximately 8 h intraoperatively is not associated with impaired pulmonary oxygenation. The authors also tested the hypothesis that intraoperative inhalation of 100% oxygen augments proinflammatory and antimicrobial responses of alveolar macrophages during anesthesia and surgery. METHODS The author...

Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) is defined as a technique of general anaesthesia using a combination of agents given solely by the intravenous route and in the absence of inhalational agents. The intravenous route has long and efficiently been used to administer anesthetics drugs, but inhalational anesthesia with modern drugs and machines had revolutionized human anesthesia from the 1960s....

BACKGROUND To explore the effect of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia on evoked electromyography monitoring of spinal nerve root in children associated with cerebral palsy. METHODOLOGY Children with cerebral palsy (n=40) were selected and further divided into 1MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) sevoflurane group and 2MAC sevoflurane group. Following the induction of anesthesia, Nicolet Ende...

Purpose of the study: based on analysis bispectral index (BIS-index), to assess adequacy depth anesthesia in patients with oncological profile. Material and methods. An BIS-monitoring was carried out during 77 surgical interventions oncosurgical profile Grodno University Clinic. Results. 30 minutes after start surgery, a decrease concentration Sevorane inhaled mixture 0.8-0.6 vol% lead signific...

Context Periodontal surgical procedures produce varying degree of stress in all patients. Nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation sedation is very effective for adult patients with mild-to-moderate anxiety due to dental procedures and needle phobia. Aim The present study was designed to perform periodontal surgical procedures under nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation sedation and assess whether this tech...

Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) control is one of the anesthesiologist challenges in craniosynostosis repair surgery, especially in multiple sutures involvement. The aim of this study was comparing the effect of two anesthesia methods including inhalation with hyperventilation and total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) on ICP control and surgeon satisfaction in pediatrics with craniosynost...

A large amount of data on the biological and toxicological activity of gases and vapors has been collected from the literature. Processes include sensory irritation thresholds, the Alarie mouse test, inhalation anesthesia, etc. It is shown that a single equation using only five descriptors (properties of the gases and vapors) plus a set of indicator variables for the given processes can correla...

BACKGROUND Inhalation anesthetics are an important factor for postoperative hepatic and renal dysfunction. In this regard, TIVA can reduce the risk of hepatic and renal dysfunction inherited to inhalation anesthetics. The present study was conducted to determine whether hepatic and renal functions differ after anesthesia with sevoflurane and propofol. METHODS Two hundred patients, ASA physica...

This study aims to evaluate retrospectively the two-year data of our clinic concerning effects training for reduced fresh gas flow anesthesia applications, demographic patients, types performed, non-operating room applications and incidences admission post-anesthesia care unit. Hospital archives on services 2016-2017 were scanned. The acquired analyzed with yearly comparisons bases consumed amo...

Elderly individuals are at increased risk of cognitive decline after anesthesia. General anesthesia is believed to be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). At present, there is no treatment that can prevent anesthesia-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction. Here, we treated mice with daily intranasal administration of insulin (1.75 U/day) for one week before anesthesia induced by int...
