Assessment of refraction measurements in children under general anesthesia, with or without cyclopelgic eye-drops
During non urgent surgery, general anesthesia might induce enterocyte damage. I-FABP is a performant biomarker of enterocyte damage. We aimed to study whether patient ongoing general anesthesia for non-urgent surgery have an elevation of plasma I-FABP concentration.
To evaluate the effect of pre-injection of lidocaine on myoclonus induced by induction with etomidate during general anesthesia in elderly patients
In patient who are predicted to be difficult to intubate with a standard direct laryngoscope well use flexible optical intubation via a supraglottic airway devise (the Ambu Aura-i). Patients are randomly assigner to a single- or a multiple- use flexible optical scope. We hypothesize that intubation is obtained equally effective with both types of flexible scopes
Delirium is defined as an acute onset and fluctuating course of mental status change with inattention and an altered level of consciousness. Delirium in the postoperative period can be divided into emergence delirium and postoperative delirium, based on the time of onset (Silverstein et al., 2007).Postanaesthesia delirium is a frequent and potentially serious problem affecting the safety of patients and medical personnel. Clinical studies demonstrated that postoperative delirium is associated with worse outcomes such as prolonged hospital stay, postdischarge institutionalization, and increased mortality (Ely et al., 2004a; Thomason et al., 2005; Robinson et al., 2009). Multiple factors may contribute to the development of postoperative delirium, including patient's medical condition, administration of anesthetics or analgesics and degree of operative stress (Yildizeli et al., 2005; Robinson & Eiseman, 2008; Deiner & Silverstein, 2009). Sevoflurane anesthesia have been reported to be associated with more emergence delirium in pediatric patients, when compared with propofol anesthesia. It is not clear if propofol anesthesia will benefit the geriatric patients on postoperative delirium, when compared with sevoflurane anesthesia. We hypothesize that propofol anesthesia will reduce the rate of postoperative delirium by 50% when compared with sevoflurane anesthesia.
The BIS is influenced by multiple parameters, such as age,gender, body weight, height, muscle relaxants, hepatic function, co-administered drugs, surgical stimulation, but is thought to be influenced mainly by propofol and remifentanil infusion dose. As such, the investigators postulate that the BIS value could be predicted by the estimated effects-site concentration of propofol and remifentanil, and try to establish a multiple linear regression model for predicting BIS value.
General anesthesia (GA) and paralysis are factors which facilitate atelectasis formation, especially in obese patients. Spontaneous breathing can reduce the amount of atelectasis. In this study, the investigators are comaparing obese patients undergoing hip arthroplasty in GA versus spinal anesthesia. Distribution of ventilation during and after anesthesia is assessed by eletrical impedance tomography (EIT).
The purpose of the study is to assess whether spinal anesthesia is or not superior to the standard general anesthesia for fit patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
