in this study for determinination of effects of anesthesia with propofol on some of biochemical factors of blood, 120 grass carp were chosen. the fish were exposed to the ascending concentration of propofol by bath method and injection method. at the time of anesthesia and 4 days after anesthesia blood samples were taken from the caudal vein and some biochemical parameters of blood were measure...

conclusions subhypnotic doses of midazolam or propofol are effective in the prevention of nausea and vomiting during and after cesarean section with spinal anesthesia and does not significantly influence hemodynamic of the patients. results the incidence of nausea, retching, and vomiting was significantly higher in the control group compared to propofol and midazolam groups. overall, ponv (post...

conclusions it seems that propofol and fentanyl can be used as a safe and fast combination for psa in the reduction of asd. patients and methods the subjects in this clinical trial consisted of 48 patients with asd who were randomly assigned to midazolam/fentanyl and propofol/fentanyl groups for psa. the two groups were compared to the time interval between injection and induction of sedation (...

anti-oxidant effects of propofol (2, 6-diisopropylphenol) were evaluated agains carbon tetrachloridet ccl4 -induced oxidative stress in rat liver. 30 male rats were equally divided in to 6 groups (5 rats each). group i (control), while group ii was given ccl4 (3 ml /kg/day, ip). animals of groups iii received only propofol (10 mg/kg/day, ip). group iv was given propofol+ ccl4. group v was admin...

BACKGROUND The authors evaluated a device designed to provide conscious sedation with propofol (propofol-air), or propofol combined with 50% nitrous oxide (N2O; propofol-N2O). An element of this device is the automated responsiveness test (ART), a method for confirming that patients remain conscious. The authors tested the hypotheses that the ART predicts loss of consciousness and that failure ...

Pain on injection, reported in 28-90% of patients, is one of the most described side effects of the intravenous application of propofol. Many different approaches have been used in attempts to minimize propofol induced pain, with varied results. Using a randomized, double-blind protocol design, the author-section pain following the administration of two different particle size formulations of p...

Propofol (Diprivan) is an i.v. anaesthetic used for general anaesthesia. The purpose of this study was to measure the propofol concentration in arterial blood and follicular fluid in patients during transvaginal oocyte retrieval. After approval by the University Ethics Committee, 30 women participated in this prospective study. Following induction of anaesthesia with 0.5 mg alfentanil and 2 mg....

BACKGROUND Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) modulates endothelium-dependent relaxation in some arterial preparations. The effect of propofol on endothelium-dependent, prostacyclin-mediated responses in mesenteric resistance arteries has not yet been clarified. METHODS The effect of propofol was examined on acetylcholine-induced membrane potential changes in the presence of N(G)-nitro-L-argini...
