Filter by:The objective of this proposal is to conduct a prospective randomized study comparing the utility of sedating patients undergoing transesophageal echocardiographic studies with a novel, recently-FDA-approved sedative agent, remimazolam, versus the sedative used in our current practice at UAB, propofol. This study will investigate whether remimazolam offers any benefit over current care vis-à-vis hemodynamics or efficiency/throughput. This study will be conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. All outpatients and inpatients scheduled for elective/non-emergent TEE in the UAB Heart and Vascular Center TEE lab will be considered for enrollment.
Emergency delirium (ED) is one of the most common postoperative complications in pediatric patients and is associated with an increase of hospitalization time, healthcare costs, and increased incidence of postoperative maladaptive behaviors (POMBs). There is no clear pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions that are effective in reducing the incidence of ED or POMBs. Therefore, the investigators aimed to assess whether family-centered perioperative care for anesthesia (FPCA) reduce the incidence of ED or POMBs in children compared with conventional preoperative pharmacological interventions.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between intraoperative and awakening electroencephalogram waveforms and awakening agitation after general anesthesia in children
The safety implications of prolonged fasting in young children prior to general anaesthesia are well described. Current UK guidance recommends a fasting time of 6 hours for formula milk prior to general anaesthesia. European guidance published in 2022 recommended a reduced fast of 4 hours for infants taking formula milk, albeit with a downgraded level 2B of evidence given the paucity of high quality research in this area. Although pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents under anaesthesia in children is a rare event, animal studies suggest that aspiration of particulate matter at volumes greater than 0.8 ml/kg gastric volume are associated with demonstrable lung injury and mortality. Although rate of gastric emptying of formula preparations has been extensively studied in neonatal intensive care settings for preterm babies using ultrasound, few studies have measured gastric volume directly in healthy term infants undergoing anaesthesia.
The evaluation of oral melatonin efficacy as premedicant agent in pediatrics undergoing elective cardiac interventions is the primary outcomes of our trail.
The investigators aimed to investigate the effects of continuous infusion of norepinephrine before and after general anesthesia induction on the occurrence of post-induction hypotension.
Patients who will be anesthesia induced with propofol will be body analyzed with Tanita before the operation. Height, weight, age, gender and other general information of the patients will be recorded. Total body weight (TBW), ideal body weight (IBW) and lean body weight (LBW) will be calculated. Patients over 18 years of age who will be operated under general anesthesia for 2-6 hours will be included. Patients allergic to propofol or contraindicated to propofol will be excluded. In the study, in order to decide and test the most appropriate weight-based scale for the evaluation of propofol dosage for induction of anesthesia by identifying patients who need additional propofol during intubation, Ingrande et al. After monitoring, propofol infusion (100 mg/kg/hour) will be started according to total body weight and the infusion will be stopped when the BIS value is between 50 and 40 and the elapsed time will be recorded. Routine anesthesia applications will be performed by applying neuromuscular blocker. Total Propofol dose administered will be calculated according to the dose TBW, IBW and LBW in kilograms. The relationship between the doses administered and body mass index will be evaluated.
This pilot study in healthy volunteers aims to determine if biological sex has an impact on recovery from dexmedetomidine-induced unconsciousness, and if transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) can be used to measure brain complexity during dexmedetomidine sedation without arousing study participants.
Remimazolam has demonstrated the potential as a valuable medication for procedural sedation and general anesthesia. However, the effective dosage of remimazolam in pediatric patients is still unknown.
Determine the incidence of early post-operative hypoventilation in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under opioid-sparing compared with sevoflurane-based anesthesia.
