Filter by:Investigators hypothesized that goal-directed fluid therapy using stroke volume variation will improve postoperative recovery in patients undergoing free flap reconstruction after head and neck cancer resection. Investigators will compare the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy using stroke volume variation on recovery in patients undergoing free flap reconstruction after head and neck cancer resection.
The investigators designed a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study to determine whether thoracic epidural anesthesia(TEA) with different local anesthetics has different influences on the propofol dose during induction.
Investigators hypothesized that the surgical condition will be improved with the use of sugammadex in patients undergoing laryngeal microsurgery. Investigators will compare the effect of sugammadex and neostigmine on the surgical condition during laryngeal microsurgery.
Loss and recovery of consciousness during propofol anesthesia seem to be mediated by different mechanisms beyond the actual effect-site concentration of anesthetic drug. This eventual difference between dose response curves for loss of consciousness (LOC) and for recovery of consciousness (ROC) beyond hysteresis has received the name of neuronal inertia. We performed a volunteer-study comparing LOC and ROC curves during a slow, steady-sate, stepped target controlled infusion of Propofol. Our hypothesis is that, at steady-state conditions between plasma an effect-site concentration, there is still going to exist a difference between LOC and ROC, demonstrating the existence of neuronal inertia.
The purpose of this study is to assess the facial measurements for determining the proper sizes of oropharyngeal airway. Investigators hypothesized that the length between incisors and mandible angle is more appropriate to estimate the size of oropharyngeal airway compared with the length between mouth corner and mandible angle.
This phase II study in patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of remimazolam, compared with propofol and sevoflurane, during the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence, based on pharmacodynamic parameters of Propofol 2% (20 mg/mL) MCT Fresenius and Diprivan® 20 mg/mL (AstraZeneca), administered by target controlled infusion (TCI).
The classic laryngeal mask airway is one of the keystones of modern anaesthetic practice. It achieves a reliable airway with a low incidence of major complications and pharynges-laryngeal morbidity. The manufactures of laryngeal mask airway recommend the proper size selection by actual body weight. It was recommended a size 3 for 30-70kg, a size 4 for 70-90 kg, and size 5 for > 90 kg. Obesity increases the fat tissue around an upper airway and decreases the pharyngeal cross sectional area. Also it was reported that pharyngeal area was reduced according to the increasing of BMI. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine which of actual body weight or ideal body weight is proper on the size selection of laryngeal mask airway.
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA) supreme is a relatively new single-use supraglottic airway with modification. The parameters about airway sealing such as oropharyngeal leak pressure (OLP) and leakage volume are important markers of efficacy and safety when using the supraglottic airway. The airway sealing is related to the intracuff pressure of laryngeal mask airway. The aim of this study is to compare the airway sealing of the LMA supreme at various intracuff pressure in children.
Catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) secondary to an indwelling urinary catheter is defined as an urge to void or discomfort in the supra-pubic region. This symptom complex may cause patient agitated and exacerbated postoperative pain. In clinic, dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) was applied for penile surgery including circumcision and some anterior urethra surgery. The investigators hypothesize that DPNB relive CRBD for male patients with indwelling urinary catheter under general anesthesia.
