Thirty CO poisoning assigned the Group with (ACOP). Patients who did not have control group (Group C, n=30). Anthropometric measurement, body mass index, electrocardiogram (ECG) serum electrolyte levels recorded all patients....

Abstract Ischemia reperfusion injury causes the release of free oxygen radicals. Free radicals initiate production toxic metabolites, such as malondialdehyde (MDA), through lipid peroxidation cellular membranes. Following peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme system is activated against reactive species (ROS) and attempts to protect cells from oxidative damage. There a balance between scavenging capacity enzymes ROS. Because this balance, total (TAC) measurement sensitive indicator overall...

This prospective, double-blind and randomized study is designed to determine the effect of menstrual cycle on injection pain propofol.Seventy-two patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia were divided into two groups according phase cycle. Patients at follicular (Pd 8-12) in Group F (n = 36) luteal 20-24) L 36). Injection was evaluated with 10-point numeric rating scale after 25% total propofol dose injected over 20 s.There no significant differences terms patient...

Cerebral ischemia may cause permanent brain damage and behavioral dysfunction. The efficacy mechanisms of pharmacological treatments administered immediately after cerebral are not fully known. Sugammadex is a licensed medication. As other cyclodextrins have passed the necessary phase tests, trade preparations available, whereas sugammadex frequently used in clinical anesthetic practice. Previous studies clearly described effects cyclodextrin family on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) damage. aim...

We evaluated the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on bupivacaine cardiotoxicity in anesthetized rats.Sixteen Wistar-Albino male rats (300-400 g) were with ketamine. Electrocardiographic and invasive blood pressure monitoring performed, results continuously recorded. The randomized into 2 groups. In group D, pretreated intravenous at a dose 10 Kg/kg (n = 8), whereas S, saline 8). Fifteen minutes later, was infused rate 3 mg/kg per minute until cardiac asystole occurred. timing specific...

This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluated the effects of dexketoprofen as an adjunct to lidocaine in intravenous regional anaesthesia (IVRA) or a supplemental (i.v.) analgesic. Patients scheduled for elective hand forearm soft-tissue surgery were randomly divided into three groups. All 45 patients received 0.5% IVRA.
