Ketamine has been shown to have a morphine-sparing effect soon after surgery. Nevertheless, whether this still exists being combined with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and acetaminophen, ketamine can decrease chronic pain nononcologic surgery remain unclear. Thus, we designed study assess ketamine's on acute postoperative when multimodal analgesia total hip arthroplasty (THA).Patients scheduled for primary THA using standardized general anesthesia were randomized. They received IV...

In Brief BACKGROUND: healthy patients, the narrowest diameter of subglottic upper airway is width air-column at level cricoid cartilage. This governs selection endotracheal tube size, as excessive may damage tracheal mucosa leading to postextubation stridor or stenosis. Unfortunately, selecting size based on height, weight, age does not reliably lead proper tube. The knowledge diameter, especially using a bedside noninvasive tool, could therefore be helpful in anesthesia and intensive care....

Background It is speculated that the anesthetic strategy during endovascular therapy for stroke may have an impact on outcome of patients. The authors hypothesized conscious sedation associated with a better functional 3 months after treatment compared general anesthesia. Methods In this single-blind, randomized trial, patients received either standardized anesthesia or sedation. Blood pressure control was also in both groups. primary measure modified Rankin score less than equal to 2 (0 =...

Abstract Background After cardiac surgery, post-operative delirium (PoD) is acknowledged to have a significant negative impact on patient outcome. To date, there no valuable and specific treatment for PoD. Critically ill patients often suffer from poor sleep condition. There an association between quality after surgery. This study aimed establish whether promoting using overnight infusion of dexmedetomidine reduces the incidence Methods Randomized, pragmatic, multicentre, double-blind,...

The present study aimed to examine the prevalence of burnout, levels life satisfaction and job in anaesthetists France. A cross-sectional was conducted among 193 from eight French public hospitals. results indicated low emotional exhaustion depersonalization scores, but high reduced accomplishment. also revealed differences between subgroups: physician reported higher accomplishment than nurse anaesthetists, female junior dissatisfaction male senior anaesthetists. implications reduce burnout...

Accurate assessment of consciousness during general anesthesia is crucial for optimizing anesthetic dosage and patient safety. Current electroencephalogram-based monitoring devices can be inaccurate or unreliable in specific surgical contexts (e.g. cephalic procedures). This study investigated the feasibility using electrocardiogram (ECG) features machine learning to differentiate between awake anesthetized states. A cohort 48 patients undergoing surgery under at Tours hospital was...

Although prior studies have shown that smoke inhalation causes lung endothelial injury and formation of pulmonary edema, there is no information about the effect on function alveolar epithelial barrier. Therefore, primary objective this study was to determine smoke-induced barrier in a rabbit experimental model. The second investigate whether pretreatment with monoclonal anti–interleukin (IL)-8 antibody prevented after inhalation. Anesthetized rabbits were tracheotomized insufflated cooled...

In pediatric practice, complications due to the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) have been studied with size 2 LMA, but not 1 LMA. We, therefore, compared prospectively induced by LMA and in 141 children aged 21 days 11 yr. Intraoperative lowest SpO2 values after removal of were recorded. The following recorded: cough, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, apnea, obstruction. 14 patients group 26 group, pharyngolaryngeal structures checked fiberoptic examination. number attempts, complications,...

Background and objective It is not known whether anaesthetic practices for ASA I parturients undergoing scheduled caesarean delivery have changed since the last (1996) survey how reflect current recommendations. Methods A 26-item questionnaire (organization of maternity unit, preoperative evaluation, technical aspects describing regional or general anaesthesia, oxytocic antibiotic drugs, postoperative analgesia) was distributed to all French obstetric units (excluding overseas). Results The...

Postoperative analgesia via continuous perineural infusion of local anesthetics compares favorably with systemic analgesia. Elastomeric pumps increase patient satisfaction compared electronic models. In in vitro investigations, infusions remained within 15% their designated set rates. We assessed vivo the rate elastomeric regional after orthopedic surgery.All consecutive were retrospectively studied during a 10-mo period. Perineural catheters inserted preoperatively and connected...

Point-of-care testing (POCT) systems enable a wide range of tests to be rapidly performed at the bedside and have attracted increasing interest in intensive care unit (ICU). However, previous studies comparing concordance POCT with central laboratory reported divergent findings. Most on reliability focused analyzer performance rather than preanalytical phase. The aim this study was assess results provided by point-of-care analyzers according organization units process. In three adult...
