Filter by:Desflurane is increasingly used in general anesthesia. Its pharmacokinetic properties are known and its distribution is easily modeled. Yet these models fail in practice. In order to increase accuracy, any model should include cardiac output, alveolar ventilation and alveolar dead space, all of which are either hard to measure or impractical, at least. A previous study performed by the same investigator showed that time to target endtidal concentration of sevoflurane is prolonged with increased cardiac output, but only if the patient has increased muscle mass. Although desflurane has lower muscle and fat solubility, our observations suggest a similar prolongation in case of increased muscle mass. The investigators aim to investigate if patient characteristics such as gender, age, height, weight, body type prolongs time to reach target endtidal desflurane concentration in low flow anesthesia.
In anesthesia for ablation for cardiac arrhythmias, abrupt hemodynamic changes or fatal arrhythmias can be seen frequently. Remimazolam is a novel ultra-short acting benzodiazepine that provides good hemodynamic stability compared to conventional anesthetic agents. This study aims to investigate whether remimazolam reduces vasoactive agent use during cryo/radiofrequancy ablation under general anesthesia, compared to desflurane(RCT).
This study intends to investigate the effects of desflurane on postoperative sleep quality to guide perioperative patient management.
During coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operations with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), the use of desflurane continuously or intermittently may have effects on serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. The aim is to investigate the association between desflurane, serum BNP values, and clinical outcomes during CABG operations. In a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, desflurane inhalational anesthesia was administered either continuously or intermittently (Group 1; n=60 versus Group 2; n=62). The preoperative and postoperative BNP levels at 24, 48 and 72 hours after surgery were collected. Outcomes were recorded.
Many factors during laparascopic surgery leads to PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting), such as C02 insufflations causing peritoneal stretch and irritation and type of anaesthesia given during surgery. The two anesthetic techniques used in bariatric surgery are gas anesthesia (Remifentanil TCI and Desfluran) and Total Intra Venous Anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol. There are studies which have shown a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting following TIVA, and there are publications showing no statistically significant difference. The aim of this study was to investigate the best anaesthetic approach for obese subjects, evaluating awakening time, postoperative nausea and pain. Our hypothesis was based on the fact that Propofol is a lipid-soluble anesthetic and therefore might have a prolonged effect in obese patients, leading to a longer awakening time along with postoperative nausea and vomiting. This hypothesis is also described earlier by obese patients have more depots (bulk fat) and also more fat surface making anaesthetics storage more easier, and also that the anesthetic will return into the circulation when the administration is stopped [18].
