Regional anesthesia is defined as the temporary removal of nerve conduction and pain in certain areas of the body with local anesthetic drugs without causing loss of consciousness. Spinal anesthesia can provide better analgesia and shorter recovery time in urological procedures resulted in shorter operating times, lower postoperative pain, lower analgesic requirements, and shorter length of stay (LOS) compared to the general anesthesia. Lidocaine is an attractive regional anesthesia drug for ambulatory surgery since it has a rapid onset and rapid recovery from motor and sensory block. However, when it is compared with other local anesthetic agents, the use of lidocaine in spinal anesthesia is associated with an increased risk of transient neurologic symptoms, thus impeding its application to outpatient spinal anesthesia. Lidocaine is more neurotoxic than other local anesthetic agents, especially when high concentrations are applied directly to nervous tissue. Another local anesthetic agent can be used is prilocaine. It has medium potency, rapid duration, and rapid onset of action. Compared with lidocaine, prilocaine has a lower incidence of neurological symptoms in spinal anesthesia for outpatient surgery, and suitable as an alternative to long-acting low-dose local anesthetics. Therefore, the investigators intend to observe the efficacy and safety of these two agents in adult patients who will undergo cystoscopy procedure using spinal anesthesia. In this study the investigators used high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and high-sensitive Troponin (hs-Troponin). CRP is a systemic inflammation marker associated with conditions such as pain. Troponin can represent patient's kidney function since its metabolism and excretion are affected by changes of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Previous study also showed that the use of spinal anesthesia can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury. Therefore, the investigators aim to carry out further examination of the following two markers regarding to spinal anesthesia using lidocaine and prilocaine.
Data regarding the comparison of recovery time from spinal anesthesia between prilocaine and bupivacaine are still relatively limited. The aim of this study was to compare the speed of recovery of spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric prilocaine 2% 50 mg compared to hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% 12.5 mg in cystoscopy procedures. By knowing the speed of recovery time, it is hoped that the patient will recover faster, be transferred to the treatment room faster, be safer, and the length of treatment will be shorter so that the quality of service for cystoscopy procedures and patient satisfaction is getting better.
The purpose of the study is to test a novel endotracheal tube support device that reduces pressure of the tube on the voice box for prevention of post intubation laryngeal symptoms including sore throat, change in voice and trouble swallowing.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hemodynamics and adverse event profile in comparison between two treatment arms, one using an admixture of propofol and etomidate at a ratio by volume of 25%/75% (P2E7), and one using an admixture of propofol and etomidate at a ratio by volume of 75%/25% (P7E2), for anesthesia during endoscopic procedures at the Clements University Hospital (CUH) endoscopy lab (Endo).
Spinal anesthesia is one of the most used techniques for surgery. Anesthesiologists usually check the block height (dermatome) of spinal anesthesia before surgery start. More than 20 factors have been postulated to alter spinal anesthetic block height. We would like to use machine learning to comprehensively consider various factors such as physiological parameters and different drug characteristics to establish a predictive model to evaluate the sensory blockade of spinal anesthesia.
We aim to compare the response to ketamine/dexmedetomidine and ketamine/propofol combinations used in hepatic patients with child-Pugh classification (class A), and early (class B) undergoing UGIE.
General anesthesia induces hemodynamic changes, notably a reduction of arterial blood pressure going up to 30%, that may impact cerebral perfusion and oxygenation.The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of anesthesia on the cerebral oxygenation, the perfusion of the brain (assessed with transcranial doppler), and the depth of anesthesia in children between 6 months and 5 years old during the induction of general anesthesia (induced with sevoflurane and/or IV agents). It is expected that the cerebral hemodynamic will be maintained despite systemic variations.
This is a randomized controlled trial in patients who require clinical anesthesia. The main purpose of this study is to understand whether there are differences in the cerebral blood flow, and oxygen metabolism affected by two types of anesthesia: propofol or sevoflurane. Subjects who require clinical anesthesia for a clinical MRI and for whom the use of propofol and sevoflurane are in clinical equipoise will be offered to have the anesthesia they will receive during their MRI randomized. All eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed consent before participating in the study.
Sedation with dexmedetomidine-propofol or ketamine-propofol was planned in patients with upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
