Filter by:Sugammadex is a selective antidote to muscle relaxants rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is a modified gamma-cyclodextrin, a compound that selectively binds rocuronium bromide and vecuronium bromide. It forms a complex with them in the blood plasma, which leads to the decrease in the concentration of muscle relaxant binding to nicotinic receptors in the neuromuscular synapse. The result is the the elimination of neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide. Sugammadex is used to eliminate neuromuscular blockade caused by rocuronium bromide in children aged 2 years and adolescents in standard clinical situations. The aim of the study is to prove the efficacy and safety of sugammadex in children under 2 years
The use of pediatric regional anesthesia has increased because of its effective pain control, improved safety profile of local anesthetic agents, in addition to the introduction of ultra-sound. At present, caudal block is one of the most common regional anesthetic techniques employed in pediatric surgery. In addition to providing postoperative analgesia, caudal block significantly reduces intraoperative analgesic requirements and upper airway complications. Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block involves infiltration of local anesthetics to the plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. Indeed, TAP block offers a hemodynamic stability, appropriate intra-operative analgesia and post surgical analgesia of the abdominal wall.
Ketamine hydrochloride, an anesthetic medication, has been demonstrated to acutely and rapidly improve depressive symptoms but not yet been adequately studied for this effect when used as part of a general anesthetic for surgery. This proposed single-centre, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial of adult patients with depression presenting for gynecologic surgery would compare severity of depressive symptoms between patients receiving and not receiving ketamine as part of their general anesthetic.
The aim of the work is to investigate the effect of using lidocaine in combination with low dose ketamine in induction of anesthesia for septic shock patients compared to normal dose of ketamine.
Dexmedetomidine, was reported to prevent postoperative delirium in elderly patients following its use in intensive care units. Possible mechanisms included improved quality of sleep and an inhibitory effect on inflammation. A greater number of studies indicated that propofol has negative effect on postoperative cognitive function. In this study, we planned to investigate the influence of these two different sedative drugs on peripheral inflammation induced by surgery and postoperative cognitive function of patients who will receive hip and knee arthroplasty.
Implementation of a standardized handover checklist for intraoperative anesthesia care transition attenuates burnout among anesthesiologists and improves postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing major surgery , both of which benefit the quality of patient care and the development of anesthesiology.
Video-assisted feedback (VAF) is an educational method used by educators in various areas of medicine. It is possible to gain technical and non-technical skills for practical applications such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and surgical procedures . VAF is an objective proof of an individual's performance because by giving feedback it provides non debatable, accurate, real-time data. By allowing awareness on certain issues it helps correcting the mistakes. Studies have shown improvement in clinical skills after VAF
The investigators test the hypothesis that fiberoptic intubation (time and success rate) differ between the Ambu® Aura-ITM and Ambu Aura GainTM in paralyzed anaesthetized pediatric patients
After a stroke caused by a blockage (clot) in a blood vessel in the brain, patients may have the clot removed by threading a catheter from the groin up to the affected area of the brain. An anesthesiologist is involved in the patient's care during this procedure to maximize patient safety and procedural efficiency. The options for anesthesia for this procedure are general anesthesia (where the patient is unconscious) or sedation (where the patient is in a relaxed, calm, sleepy condition). Currently, it is unclear which of these anesthetic options contributes to the best patient outcome. The investigators would like to investigate whether or not one method of anesthesia (general or sedation) is better to use than the other when removing the clot.
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.
