Filter by:The primary aim is to utilize near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in patients under general anesthesia to measure changes in brain blood flow in the bilateral somatosensory cortices and the prefrontal cortices in response to noxious stimulation.
Tracheal intubation under general anaesthesia is the gold standard for securing the airway and for protecting the lungs against gastric aspiration. The conventional technique involves the use of a metal laryngoscope inserted into the mouth to create an air space, to allow insertion of an endotracheal tube. Alternatively, an oral airway device (called a supraglottic device (SGD)) can be used for tracheal intubation. The SGD is first inserted. A fibrescope is inserted down the shaft of the SGD and into the trachea. This allows an endotracheal tube (previously pre-loaded onto the fibrescope) to be railroaded of the fibrescope and into the trachea. This technique is called 'low skill fibreoptic intubation' as the SGD acts as a guide for the fibrescope. Our study compares the performance of two SGD: i-gel and air-Q. The investigators will compare intubation success rate, insertion rate, and times for SGD insertion and intubation.
Rocuronium block neuromuscular transmission at the neuromuscular junction, causing paralysis of the affected skeletal muscles. There have been several studies reported positive relationship between muscle mass and amount of neuromuscular junction. The purpose of this study is to find 50% effective dose and 95% effective dose of rocuronium according to muscle mass.
This prospective randomized is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hernia repairs using local anesthesia compared with those using general anesthesia for patients with incarcerated hernia.
This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled trial. To investigate if preoperative using of eye patch will decrease emergence agitation, and to provide a better method of decreasing emergence agitation to pediatric ophthalmic anesthesiologists.
The purpose of this study is to find difference in Minimum Alveolar Concentration(MAC) for maintaining Bispectral Index (BIS) below 50 between chronic opioid users and opioid naive patients.
By measuring plasmatic concentration of propofol at different intervals during surgery of children aged 1 to 12 years old and measuring Bispectral Index (BIS) as a surrogate for cerebral activity, the investigators aim to create a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model of propofol for children.
Intra-Carotid delivery of propofol.
The Anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI) is home to the National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR), a data warehouse that has been designated as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) reporting. With 20 million cases and growing, Anesthesia Quality Institute's clinical data provides an evidence-based rational that informs treatment choices and helps control treatment costs. National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry is intended for all anesthesia providers caring for patients. The registry provides participating providers with: Custom continuous performance monitors Performance gap analysis and patient outlier identification Access to improvement interventions to close performance gaps including patient care management tools, targeted education, resources and other evidence based interventions Registry and peer-to-peer benchmarks
Dexmedetomidine can be used as a co-induction agent to facilitate laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion with minimal effect on respiratory function. The purpose of the study was to determine the median effective dose (ED50) of dexmedetomidine to facilitate LMA insertion during anaesthesia induction with propofol 2.0 mg/kg.
