Filter by:Ambulatory surgery is increasingly used in anesthesia. In case of general anesthesia, it is recommended to use anesthesia molecules with a short half-life and low doses of opiates to ensure a rapid awakening and to prevent nausea and vomiting by systematic administration of anti-emetics during the operation. Opiates (including sufentanil) have recently been called into question because of the nausea and vomiting and the delay in waking up induced by these molecules. To combat these side effects, the authors have proposed either to reduce the doses or to substitute them with dexmedetomidine, a sedative antihypertensive drug. Recent studies have demonstrated that opiates used in general anesthesia can be replaced by dexmedetomidine. However, literature data are controversial concerning the hemodynamic impact. No study has compared the hemodynamic profile of opioid-free anesthesia with dexmedetomidine versus conventional anesthesia with opioids. The ambulatory context lends itself to the use of dexmedetomidine because it is aimed at a population without strong cardiac pathology, concerns non-major interventions, with the need to optimize pain and side effects. The study authors therefore wish to compare the effects of induction of general anesthesia with low-dose Dexmedetomidine versus sufentanil, on post-induction hemodynamic stability in scheduled outpatient surgeries. The investigators hypothesize that hemodynamic stability at induction of general anesthesia with low-dose dexmedetomidine is not inferior to that obtained with sufentanil in scheduled ambulatory surgeries.
The goal of this clinical trial is to propose for implementation and evaluate the effectiveness of xenon sedation for the relief of psychoemotional stress disorder before the operation of refractive laser vision correction patients with high anxiety and stress instability who underwent xenon analgosedation before refractive laser vision correction. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. To develop a method of xenon sedation in patients with a high level of psychoemotional stress before surgery - refractive laser vision correction. 2. To evaluate the effect of inhaled xenon anesthesia in a sub-narcotic dose on the duration of surgery, satisfaction of surgeons and patients with anesthesia, the level of postoperative pain in patients in comparison with anxiolytics. The following will be studied: the level of preoperative anxiety, the dynamics of glycemia and blood cortisol levels, heart rate variability, electrical microamplitudes of the ECG signal, the anti-stress and analgesic effect of xenon. If there is a comparison group: the researchers will compare [the group with xenon sedation and the control group] to see if there is [an anti-stress effect of xenon in patients before laser vision correction].
This study aims to compare MS-SCBPB and SCBPB in the duration of postoperative analgesia, time to first analgesic request (VAS ≥40 mm), pain scores, motor power, and side effects.
Evaluates the effect of hyperbaric subarachnoid bupivacaine at doses of 5 mg vs 10 mg on mean arterial pressure in obese pregnant patients undergoing cesarean section
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of acute pain on long-term memory and conditioned physiologic responses in the presence and absence of low dose sevoflurane. Functional magnetic resonance imaging will be used to identify the neural correlates of these phenomena. The study will occur over 2 visits and involves no long-term follow up.
Traditionally, general anesthesia is maintained with inhalational anesthesia (GAS), but there is a gap in knowledge regarding whether intravenous anesthesia (IV) can prevent deleterious postoperative outcomes in the geriatric surgical population. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether intravenous anesthesia (IV) leads to a decreased incidence of postoperative delirium (POD), postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), and functional decline, and improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in older adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery when compared to the standard inhalational anesthesia (GAS). This single-center, 1:1 randomized, double-blind (patient & outcome assessor) clinical trial will compare inhalational vs. intravenous anesthesia on POD, POCD, functional status, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and blood-based biomarkers in older patients undergoing elective, inpatient, non-cardiac surgery. Upon enrollment, 260 women and men ≥ 70 years undergoing elective noncardiac surgery under general anesthesia will be randomized to 2 groups: TIVA or GAS.
In recent decades, knowledge in the anesthesiology field has increasingly expanded, allowing for the refinement of monitoring techniques, therapies, and local-regional anesthesia maneuvers, and for the extension of care to a larger number of patients, including those previously excluded due to advanced age or comorbidities. Similarly, Intensive care management has continuously evolved, following innovations in the field of drugs and with the great diffusion of extracorporeal supports. The fundamental importance of registry studies has been recognized in this context to rapidly generate reliable data and improve the quality of care. This prospective observational study is aimed at collecting data of all patients (expected 300,000) undergoing anesthesia or intensive care maneuvers at our institution. This registry aims to assist in carrying out registry-based clinical studies focused on improving current therapeutic and patient management standards.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare conditions for tracheal intubation obtained with modified time principal induction with 0.6 mg/kg rocuronium and 1 mg/kg succinylcholine. Specifically, the investigators will be evaluating ease of laryngoscopy, vocal cord view, vocal cord opening, and movement of limbs and coughing during tracheal intubation in order to assess intubation conditions, to compare efficiency and success rate of tracheal intubation between two induction agents and to determine the rate of patient awareness during induction and post-operative recall of paralysis.
This is a feasibility study characterizing the ability of transvaginal ultrasonography to identify the pudendal nerve. Today, the pudendal nerve block is typically accomplished through blind landmark techniques, thus limiting its success. To date, there has never been an attempt to determine if the visualization of the pudendal nerve would be possible using transvaginal ultrasound with existing technology; nor to perform this procedure transvaginally with the assistance of ultrasound.
Using data from a prospective cohort of children receiving general anaesthesia for surgery, this project will collect pharmacological correlates (doses and timing of administration of anaesthetic drugs) and clinical correlates (stimulations including nociceptive stimulation, possible responses such as movement/resumption of spontaneous ventilation during maintenance of anaesthesia/tachycardia/high blood pressure) of patients during the three phases of anesthesia (induction, maintenance, emergence).
