Prediction of Bispectral Index during Target-controlled Infusion of Propofol and Remifentanil: A Deep Learning Approach.

BACKGROUND: The discrepancy between predicted effect-site concentration and measured bispectral index is problematic during intravenous anesthesia with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil. We hypothesized that bispectral index during total intravenous anesthesia would be more accurately predicted by a deep learning approach.

Effect and Safety of Labor Epidural Analgesia with Intermittent Boluses of 0.1% Bupivacaine with Fentanyl on Fetal and Maternal Outcomes and Wellbeing.

BACKGROUND: Labor analgesia has been shown to have few undesirable effects on the course and outcome of the labor as well as on the fetal well-being.

Comparison of Two Different Volumes of Ropivacaine Used in Nerve Stimulator Guided Inter-scalene Block for Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery - A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: This study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of 10 ml versus 20 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine in nerve stimulator guided interscale...

Addition of Dexmedetomidine to Ropivacaine in Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Potentiates Postoperative Analgesia among Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patients: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

CONTEXT: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with moderate intensity postoperative pain especially in the early postoperative period. Transvers...

Labor Epidural Analgesia: Comparison of Two Different Intermittent Bolus Regimes.

BACKGROUND: Optimal labor analgesia can be provided with epidural by addition of opioid to the local anesthetic.

Comparison between Colloid Preload and Coload in Bone Cement Implantation Syndrome under Spinal Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Bone cement implantation syndrome (BCIS) is characterized by hypoxia hypotension cardiac arrest. There is not any research that investigat...

Practice Pattern of Fresh Gas Flow and Volatile Agent Choices among Anesthesiologists Working in Different Indian Hospitals: An Online Survey.

BACKGROUND: Fresh gas flow (FGF) during volatile inhalational agent-based anesthesia is a concern for many reasons. Advancement in anesthesia workstat...

Comparative Evaluation of Ropivacaine and Ropivacaine with Dexamethasone in Transverse Abdominis Plane Block for Lower Abdominal Surgeries: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blinded Study.

CONTEXT: Dexamethasone as an adjunct to ropivacaine has shown promising results in prolonging the duration of analgesia in transverse abdominis plane ...

Comparative Analysis of Duration of Postoperative Analgesia between Levobupivacaine and Levobupivacaine with Clonidine after Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Lower Segment Cesarean Section.

BACKGROUND: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in cesarean section is carried out by local anesthetics such as bupivacaine or ropivacaine with a ...

The Effects of Mouth Opening and Throat Pack Placement on Uncuffed Nasal Endotracheal Tube Leakage and Delivered Tidal Volumes in Mechanically Ventilated Pediatric Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures.

Intubation for pediatric patients is frequently performed with an uncuffed endotracheal tube (ETT), which may result in an incomplete tracheal seal, r...

A Histological Study of Vasoconstriction by Local Anesthetics in Mandible.

To assess the effect of epinephrine-containing local anesthetics on vasoconstriction, we immunohistochemically measured the intravascular lumen area i...

[Perioperative stroke effectively treated by an acute stroke team including anesthesia department: a case report].

Perioperative stroke is cerebral infarction occurring in the perioperative period. The incidence of perioperative stroke in non-cardiac, and non-neuro...

[Effect of dexmedetomidine on emergence agitation after general anesthesia in children undergoing odontotherapy in day-surgery operating room].

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine used for general anesthesia maintenance in children undergoing odontotherapy in day-surgery o...

Incorporation of Anterior Lumbosacral Spine Exposure into a General Surgical Practice.

Many spine surgeons enlist the aid of an "access surgeon" to provide anterior exposure of the lumbosacral spine. We proposed that a single, community ...

[Clinical research on perioperative restrictive fluid therapy combined with preoperative urination training in total hip arthroplasty].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of restrictive fluid therapy combined with preoperative urination training during perioperative pe...

Feasibility of Automated Propofol Sedation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Pilot Study.
