Filter by:The study is a prospective, single center, double arm study aiming at the comparison of 2 commercial neuromuscular block reversal drugs: Neostigmine (Cooper S.A.) and Sugammadex (MSD). A faster recovery from neuromuscular block is expected for patients receiving Sugammadex and this protocol is of high importance for anesthesia of morbid obese patients during bariatric surgery.
The purpose of this study is to assess if a dilution with 1.4% sodium bicarbonate of a 2% mepivacaine+epinephrine solution, can be effective in reducing the pain associated with local infiltration anesthesia, during ambulatory phlebectomy procedures.
The primary objective of this prospective, descriptive study is to evaluate the success rate of the retroclavicular brachial plexus block and catheter placement in 60 adult patients undergoing hand, wrist, or forearm surgery. The investigators will also evaluate any difficulties performing the procedure, the onset time and distribution of the block, incidence of adverse events, and patient's acceptance of the block.
1. Evaluation of the efficacy of the circumferential versus non circumferential distribution of mepivacaine around the median and ulnar nerves. 2. Evaluation the onset of action of mepivacaine in circumferential versus non circumferential distribution around the median and ulnar nerves. 3. Spread of mepivacaine after injection guided by ultrasonography. 4. Complications of both anesthetic techniques in postoperative time.
The investigators hypothesize that many parturients can, in fact, spontaneously micturate with low dose combined spinal epidural analgesic doses given for labor and that Foley catheterization is unnecessary in the majority of these parturients. At Prentice Women's Hospital, almost 9000 women annually receive neuraxial labor analgesia and 98% of those receive Foley catheters. By potentially reducing the necessity for Foley catheters, the investigators should be able to ultimately reduce the rate of bacteriuria, urinary tract infections and urethritis leading to unnecessary treatment with antibiotics, as well as reduce costs of placing unnecessary Foley catheter.The hypothesis is parturients receiving low dose combined spinal epidural analgesia for analgesia after induction of labor who are randomized to a spontaneous micturition protocol will require fewer Foley catheter placements and demonstrate a lower incidence of positive urine culture postpartum than those who undergo standard Foley catheter placement.
The aim of this study is to assess the ability of clonidine to reduce the mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension subjected to cardiac surgery.
Induction of general anesthesia induces frequently arterial hypotension. The short term goal of this study is to evaluate if preemptive volume loading prevents such complication.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of different propofol formulations (plain or with remifentanil) on anesthetic induction. Propofol plain or with remifentanil is administered using a closed-loop algorithm in order to reach a Bispectral Index target of 50.
Myorelaxation is generally used as a part of general anesthesia for interventional rigid bronchoscopy. Succinylcholine is most often used because its short duration of action but rocuronium can be used since sugammadex permits a rapid and complete reversal of the neuromuscular block. The aim of ths study is to compare both agents.
Sugammadex is used to reverse of a neuro-muscular block deep. It has been reported that its administration could induce signs of recovery despite continuation of anesthetic drugs. The goal of the present study is to look is the arte of this event is different according to the primary anesthetic agent used.
