Filter by:Myorelaxation is generally used as a part of general anesthesia for interventional rigid bronchoscopy. Succinylcholine is most often used because its short duration of action but rocuronium can be used since sugammadex permits a rapid and complete reversal of the neuromuscular block. The aim of ths study is to compare both agents.
Measurement of how much blood the heart pumps may be useful in guiding how much intravenous fluid to give patients during surgery. The current monitors either require special drips (arterial and/or central lines) or a probe inserted into the oesophagus (food pipe) which may limit their use. Newer monitors are available which are completely non-invasive and seem to work well in younger patients. Patients with hip fracture are elderly and frail. The investigators wish to see whether the newer non-invasive monitor works well enough compared to the current monitors in this group of patients. If it does this may allow more of these patients to be monitored in this way.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if the use of Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) blocks reduce early postoperative opioid requirements.
Intravenous sedation is used frequently for the relief of pain and anxiety associated with oral surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia. The purpose of this study is to learn about patient and surgeon satisfaction with sedation using Dexmedetomidine in combination with midazolam alone or with midazolam plus low dose ketamine while having wisdom teeth removed. The sedation produced by dexmedetomidine is unique in that it mimics natural sleep, a unique quality not shared by other drugs. Dexmedetomidine is often used in anesthesia in hospital operating rooms and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the use planned in this study.
Once a child has been anaesthetised and is fully asleep, a special airway tube called a laryngeal mask is often inserted into their mouth to help with their breathing. This tube is removed just before the child wakes up. A new type of airway tube, called an i-gel airway, has been developed for children, which is hoped will be easier to insert, safer once in position, and will be less likely to cause a sore throat after the anaesthetic than a standard laryngeal mask. The adult i-gel airway has been available for adults since 2007, and early trials have shown very encouraging results.
Main objective is to evaluate the sparing effect of esmolol on the required doses of propofol and remifentanil
The assessment of anesthesia depth was based, until recently, on the evolution of hemodynamic parameters. Nowadays it can be evaluated by several monitoring methods, derived from electroencephalogram analysis, namely the Bispectral Index (Aspect Medical Systems, Newton, USA). A new modality is currently under development: the NeuroSENSE (Cleveland Medical Devices Inc., Cleveland, OH 44103, USA). The goal of this study is to compare both monitoring modalities during anesthesia.
The goal of this study is to determine if there is a significant difference in the quality of care between the investigators' two standard anesthesia techniques for children undergoing a MRI of the body and/or extremity MRI. Quality of care will be measured by time spent in the MRI room as well as parental satisfaction, frequency of interruptions of the MRI scan, incidence-severity of respiratory complications, post anesthesia agitation, and time spent in the induction room, MRI room, and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU).
Pharmacokinetic models for anesthetic agents are questionable. The objective of the study is to compare the propofol and remifentanil doses required to maintain the bispectral index in the range 40-60 in two groups of patients: obese patients and lean patients
To compare manual administration of propofol and remifentanil and dual closed-loop using bispectral index as the control variable during pediatric anesthesia
