Filter by:To compare the effects of total intravenous anesthesia and inhalation anesthesia used for maintenance on postoperative recovery in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty surgery under general anesthesia, using the recovery quality score (QoR-40).
Burst suppression describes a specific EEG pattern that can generally indicate a too deep general anesthesia. The pathophysiology of anesthetic-induced Burst Suppression may be distinctly different from the pathophysiology of Burst Suppression from other medical causes (e.g., coma, hypothermia, intoxication). Definition criteria of neurologic societies cannot be applied to the classification of Burst Suppression during general anesthesia without adaptation. The lack of a clear definition complicates structured research on anesthetic-induced Burst Suppression EEG in the perioperative setting because of subjective bias. Therefore, a unified agreement on what anesthesia-induced Burst Suppression looks like is crucial to conduct the best possible research. The aim of this study is to formulate the basis for a clear definition of burst suppression EEG that may help to truly understand the significance of this EEG pattern and its relationship to proposed postoperative outcomes such as postoperative delirium, longterm postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) or increased mortality.
Patients with COVID undergoing hip fracture repair have high mortality rates. If spinal anesthesia is associated with decreased rates of mortality, this study could provide hypothesis generating data for prospective studies. Investigators hypothesize that spinal anesthesia (SA) is associated with decreased mortality compared to general anesthesia (GA) for patients undergoing hip fracture surgery. The primary objective is to determine for patients undergoing hip surgery with COVID-19 infection, whether SA, as compared to GA, is associated with a lower rate of mortality 30 days postoperatively. The secondary objective is to determine whether SA, as compared to GA, is associated with a lower rate of morbidity 30 days postoperatively. Investigators will be analyzing a data set provided by the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Descriptive statistics will be performed. Multivariable logistic regression will be performed for the primary and secondary objectives.
In this study, we propose to evaluate the relationship between the alpha oscillation dynamics and the signals derived from the brain images related to brain aging.
The purpose of this study is to compare exposure to general anesthesia between cases with a diagnosis of Alzheimer´s disease and controls without diagnosis, through studies of medical records. The investigators wish to explore if there is a relationship between exposure to general anesthesia and the development of Alzheimer´s disease.
The ability of Mid Latency Auditory Evoked Potentials for a routine monitoring of sensory suppression should be evaluated during a wide spectrum of clinically common forms general anesthesia.
