background post-operative nausea and vomiting (ponv) is one of the common problems after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. objectives the current study aimed to compare dexamethasone effect with that of granisetron in prevention of ponv. patients and methods in the current study 104 patients aged 20-60 with asa class i or ii who were candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the ...

OBJECTIVES To compare the cost-effectiveness of inhalation of sevoflurane, target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol, intravenous (IV) propofol for induction-inhalation of sevoflurane, and IV propofol for induction-inhalation of desoflurane for anesthesia maintenance in day surgery. METHODS 240 patients, scheduled for elective day surgery, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 60 each):...

results the mean heart rate values were significantly less in the sevoflurane group (p value < 0.05) at 25 minutes after the surgery. the mean blood pressure in the isoflurane group was significantly higher compared with the sevoflurane group in 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the surgery (p values = 0.0131, 0.0373 and 0.0028, respectively). these differences were clinically unimportant because hea...

INTRODUCTION Pediatric anesthesia induction with sevoflurane usually needs a special vaporizer and gas source, which limits its use to the operating room (OR). Many children feel anxious and cry when entering the OR because of being separated from their parents, which impairs anesthesia safety and their physical and mental health. In this study, we used a portable circuit to perform sevoflurane...

BACKGROUND The concerns for hyperoxia-related brain tissue injury are well known to the medical community. The cerebro-vasodilatory properties of sevoflurane may create relative cerebral tissue "hyperoxia" during inhalational induction as compared to a propofol-based intravenous induction of anesthesia. STUDY OBJECTIVES The objective for this case series discussion was to identify any differe...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl on hemodynamic changes in chronic male smokers. METHODS This is a prospective, randomized, blinded study. Were selected 60 chronic male smokers (aged 16 to 60 years). The patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group D (n=30) received 1μg.kg(-1) dexmedetomidine and Group F (n=30) received 3μg.kg(-1) fentan...

background: the role of premedication with acetaminophen on postoperative conditions in pediatric patients is not well known. we aimed to assess the effects of prophylactic oral versus rectal acetaminophen on postoperative conditions in pediatric adenotonsillectomy patients. methods: in a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 127 children undergoing adenotonsillectomies were randomized to r...

Anesthesia is considered to be the best way to ensure animal welfare during handling etc. Clove oil and electronarcosis are among the most popular chemical and physical anesthetics used in fisheries and biology; however there is a little information available on the effect of anesthesia using direct electric current in fish. In the present study, the impacts of clove oil (30 mg.l-1) and electro...
