Design and validation of an automated solid phase extraction liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry method for the quantification of propofol in plasma.

Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis
Propofol concentration in human plasma can be quantified by liquid chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. Sample preparation usually requires solid phase extraction to remove matrix components and enrich the analyte. To facilitate user-independent...

A pilot study of upper airway management using a remote-controlled artificial muscle device during propofol anesthesia.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the jaw closure using a pneumatic actuator device affect airway collapsibility and resistance during propofol anesthesia.

Preoperative dexmedetomidine attenuates hemodynamic responses to hydrodissection in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy.

Journal of anesthesia
PURPOSE: Percutaneous tunneling (hydrodissection) in the neck and anterior chest in patients undergoing robotic thyroidectomy leads to significant hemodynamic responses such as increases in blood pressure and heart rate. We evaluated whether a single...

Prediction of Postinduction Hypotension by Machine Learning.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Post-induction hypotension (PIH) occurs shortly after anesthesia induction and is related to several post-operative complications. Medications delivered during induction and maintenance of anesthesia are significantly related to PIH occurrence, which...

Process optimisation: spinal versus general anaesthesia for endourological surgery. A randomised, controlled trial and machine-learning approach.

Anaesthesiology intensive therapy
INTRODUCTION: Data concerning anaesthesia for endourology are rare, and options for it are numerous. Thus, identifying the optimal anaesthesia regimen remains challenging. With this study we aimed to provide the means for selecting optimal anaesthesi...

The Performance of an Artificial Neural Network Model in Predicting the Early Distribution Kinetics of Propofol in Morbidly Obese and Lean Subjects.

Anesthesia and analgesia
BACKGROUND: Induction of anesthesia is a phase characterized by rapid changes in both drug concentration and drug effect. Conventional mammillary compartmental models are limited in their ability to accurately describe the early drug distribution kin...

γ-Aminobutyric Acid Type A Receptor Potentiation Inhibits Learning in a Computational Network Model.

Anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: Propofol produces memory impairment at concentrations well below those abolishing consciousness. Episodic memory, mediated by the hippocampus, is most sensitive. Two potentially overlapping scenarios may explain how γ-aminobutyric acid re...

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

Anesthesiology
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 dur...
