Desflurane's induction and recovery characteristics were compared to those of propofol-nitrous oxide in outpatients undergoing laparoscopic procedures. Ninety-two healthy patients randomized receive either: 1) propofol maintenance (control), 2) desflurane-nitrous maintenance, 3) oxide, or 4) desflurane alone for anesthesia. Inhalation with was faster than (100 +/- 35 vs. 124 43 s). inductions associated a high incidence apnea (17 26%), breath-holding (26 39%), coughing (30 22%) groups 3 4,...
The recovery characteristics of desflurane and sevoflurane were compared when used for maintenance ambulatory anesthesia.After obtaining informed consent, 42 healthy, unpremedicated women undergoing laparoscopic sterilization procedures studied. Anesthesia was induced with propofol, 1.5-2.0 mg/kg, maintained either 3%-6% (n = 21) or 1%-2% 60% nitrous oxide in oxygen. Intraoperative analgesia neuromuscular block achieved using fentanyl vecuronium, respectively. inhaled anesthetics titrated to...
Three different anesthetic techniques were compared in 146 healthy outpatients undergoing ambulatory surgery. In Groups I and II, anesthesia was induced with propofol (1.5-2.0 mg/kg, intravenously [iv]) maintained nitrous oxide (N2O) 60% oxygen either a infusion, 75-160 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 IV, or sevoflurane, 1%-2% end-tidal, respectively. Group III, 1%-4% end-tidal N2O oxygen. addition to at total gas flow of 3 L/min, all patients received fentanyl, 2-3 micrograms/kg vecuronium, 0.1 mg/kg...
Induction of, maintenance and recovery from sevoflurane anesthesia were compared with propofol isoflurane when administered nitrous oxide to patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Seventy-five healthy (ASA I or II), consenting randomly assigned receive either (I) for induction of isoflurane-nitrous (control), (II) sevoflurane-nitrous maintenance, (III) anesthesia. Inhaled was rapid (109 ± 25 s loss consciousness) without any untoward hemodynamic changes episodes coughing laryngospasm. Mean...
We examined the plasma concentration and resultant clinical effects produced by four different propofol bolus infusion regimens in 98 healthy males undergoing elective urologic procedures under regional anesthesia. Patients were randomly assigned to one of dosage groups. In Groups 1–4, loading doses equal 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.7 mg/kg intravenously, respectively, followed fixed-rate infusions 0.5,1,2, 4 mg.kg-1.h-1, during block procedure. Sedation (sleepiness) was assessed independently...
Background Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting opioid analgesic, may be useful as intravenous adjuvant to local anesthesia for treating patient discomfort and pain during monitored care (MAC). However, the remifentanil dose requirements, interactions with other commonly used sedative drugs (such midazolam), recovery characteristics after ambulatory procedures have not been determined. Therefore, this study was designed evaluate safety efficacy of alone in combination different doses...
Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent with opioid-sparing properties. The effect of ketorolac on postoperative opioid analgesic requirement and surgical outcome was evaluated in 198 women after abdominal hysterectomy procedures using double-blind protocol design.Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 60 mg intravenous (2 ml) ketorolac, followed by 30 intravenously (in saline 20 over min every 6 h, or 2 ml saline, for up 72 h. assessed patient-controlled analgesia...
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has recently become available in the United States, and several authors have suggested that it is superior to an anesthesia mask. To test this hypothesis, 64 patients undergoing outpatient arthroscopic knee surgery were randomly assigned maintained via either a (n = 31) or standard face 33). Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 1 microgram.kg-1 propofol 2 mg.kg-1 variable-rate infusion (50-180 micrograms.kg-1 x min) nitrous oxide 67% oxygen. LMA inserted...
We compared target-controlled propofol with sevoflurane in a randomised, double-blind study 61 day-case patients. Anaesthesia was induced target of 8 microgram.ml-1 or 8% sevoflurane, reduced to 4 and 3%, respectively, after laryngeal mask insertion subsequently titrated clinical signs. Mean (SD) times unconsciousness were significantly shorter [50 (9) s 116 (33) s, respectively] than [73 (14) 146 (29) s; p < 0.0001 = 0.0003, respectively]; however, these differences not apparent the blinded...
The effects of intraarticular bupivacaine administration on postoperative pain and mobilization were evaluated in 97 healthy outpatients undergoing knee arthroscopy under general anesthesia. After completion the operation, which was performed using a standardized anesthetic technique, patient's injected with 30 mL either 0.5% or saline solution (control), according to randomized, double-blind protocol. Although there no statistically significant differences assessment pain, patients...
We compared the effectiveness of atropine, glycopyrrolate, and a transesophageal atrial pacing (TAP) stethoscope for treating intraoperative bradycardia in 64 unpremedicated patients receiving standardized sufentanil/NO2/vecuronium anesthetic. Patients were allocated randomly to receive either 5 μg/kg (Group 1), 2.5 2), or 3) after onset bradycardia, defined as heart rate ≤50 beats/ min (or ≤60 beats/min with concurrent hypotension). Bradycardia occurred 15 each treatment group. The time...
The value of monitoring respiratory rate as a key vital sign to detect early changes in the health status critically ill patients has been well documented. However, although pulse oximetry major advance bedside monitoring, it not demonstrated be an indicator serious illness. Arterial blood oxygen saturation appears poorly understood by hospital staff and lacks specificity tool. Therefore, primary objective this study was demonstrate equivalence between respiR8™ monitor manual counting...
Point-of-care testing allows rapid analysis of samples to facilitate prompt clinical decisions. Electrolyte and calcium abnormalities are common in acutely ill patients can be associated with life-threatening consequences. There is uncertainty whether decisions based on the results obtained from blood gas analysers or if laboratory should awaited.To assess agreement between sodium, potassium mainstream a tertiary centre, network consisting one referral two peripheral hospitals, three...
Two hundred and ten obstetric anaesthetists completed a questionnaire assessing how they would perform rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia for Caesarean section their continued management during failed tracheal intubation. The survey revealed considerable variation in the timing application cricoid pressure, choice dose drugs used administration. difficult intubation also varied. This variability was independent both grade anaesthetist frequency practice. There appear to be at least two...
Emerging infectious diseases are increasingly originating from wildlife. Many of these have significant impacts on human health, domestic animal and biodiversity. Surveillance is the key to early detection emerging diseases. A zoo based wildlife disease surveillance program developed in Australia incorporates information free-ranging into existing national health system. This uses a collaborative approach provides strong model for that enhances capacity
Coral restoration programs are expanding to revive coral populations and ecosystem services, but local global stressors still threaten survival. In the Caribbean, ESA-listed staghorn Acropora cervicornis has experienced profound declines due multiple stressors, including disease nutrient pollution. We studied impact of these two on ten A. genotypes for which susceptibility was previously ranked in a transmission experiment. Results showed that elevated ammonium, disease, their combination...
