Filter by:The investigators want to investigate the effect of low dose S+ ketamine compared to placebo on cumulative morphine consumption at 24 hours in 90 women undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy with remifentanil-propofol target controlled infusion (TCI) in KK Women's and Children's Hospital. The secondary aims are to investigate the use of low dose S+ ketamine on the incidence of nausea, vomiting, pruritus (opioid side effect), sedation score and psycho mimetic assessment compared to placebo group. The investigators propose to conduct a double blinded, randomized controlled study in women undergoing open abdominal hysterectomy with remifentanil-propofol TCI. (1) Treatment Group: intravenous ketamine 0.5 mg/kg at the beginning and 0.5 mg/kg 20 minutes before extubation. (2) Control Group: intravenous normal saline (as placebo) at the beginning and 20 minutes before extubation.
Objective of the study: to assess whether pharmacological sedation or general anesthesia for treatment of anterior circulation ischemic stroke with endovascular mechanical thrombectomy is associated with difference in morbidity (neurological outcome and peri-procedural complications).
The study is aimed at confronting a surgical pleth index based protocol for intraoperative analgesia in a desflurane based general anesthesia for thyroidectomy, versus a standard clinical approach. A reduction in analgesic consumption and improvement in hemodynamics are expected.
The study is aimed at determining the remifentanil effect site concentration suppressing the cough at extubation after surgical thyroidectomy, performed under remifentanil/desflurane based general anesthesia, expressed as median and 95th percentile effective dose. Possible hemodynamic instability, respiratory depression or prolongation of awakening time are also sought.
The goal of this study is to compare the oropharyngeal leak pressure of the Protector Laryngeal mask with the Supreme laryngeal mask. Other secondary parameters will be studied.
Blocking the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MACN) during an axillary block often a subcutaneous wheal of local anesthetics is made what is described as painful. With the improvement of the resolution of the ultrasound machines smaller structures and nerves can be visable. In this study topographic assessment will made of the anatomical variation of the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MACN) by ultrasound in the axilla and 5 cm above the cubital fossa of the arm.
This study evaluates the comparison of the incidence of postoperative home pain after ambulatory surgery with general anesthesia between a group with pre-surgical prescription delivered during anesthesia preoperative clinic and a group with postoperative prescription.
A correlation between the bispectral index values and electroencephalographic patterns at the loss of consciousness (LOC) when using propofol in elderly patients, has not been determined. Our aim is to describe the BIS values and the power of the alpha band in the electroencephalography in elderly patients, at the LOC moment.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether audiovisual distraction can lead to a reduction in standard of care administered intraoperative propofol consumption compared to those who receive propofol sedation alone in adults having total hip or knee replacement surgery under spinal anesthesia.
The goals of this study are to testify the effectiveness on enhancement recovery by new anesthetic ERAS (Enhanced recovery after surgery) strategy.
