Filter by:The purpose of this study will be to examine the effects of white noise on agitation and saliva cortisol in elderly with dementia.
Dexmedetomidine Hydrochloride is a kind of high selectivity alpha 2 agonists adrenaline, can inhibit the activity of sympathetic nerve, and reduce the adverse effects of stress reaction in anesthesia recovery period.Literatures have been reported that Dex can reduce the rate of emergence agitation of children and adults,especially in elderly patients(>64 years) after using sevoflurane anesthesia.
Emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia is still a problem needed to be solved.The aim of the study is to delineate the effect of caudal magnesium sulfate in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery to prevent postoperative emergence agitation.
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological disorder whose diagnosis is only clinical. The efficacy of dopaminergic agents in improvement of sensorimotor symptoms advance the hypothesis that altered dopaminergic transmission is at the origin of this condition. RLS usually leads to a sleep fragmentation, which induces sometimes severe insomnia most often associated, in clinical practice, to a cognitive complaint (attentional in nature). Executive functions in which dopaminergic transmission is heavily involved refer to a set of complex functions. At least three of them should be considered during their evaluation (ie flexibility, inhibition, and the updating of working memory). These functions are among the targets of the alteration of the quality and quantity of sleep. The few studies that have focused on the study of the integrity of executive functions in RLS have discordant results. The lack of control of key variables in the assessment of executive functioning (ie intellectual performance, depressive symptomatology, generalized slowing in information processing) and the lack of reference in the theoretical approach in executive functions are certainly the two main reasons. Moreover, the question of polysomnographic correlates and the reversibility of these cognitive abnormalities after pharmacological management of RLS remains unanswered today. The main objective of this study is to compare the executive performance of untreated RLS patients with a group of matched controls.
After genernal anesthesia using sevoflurane or desflurane, the investigators can observe many cases of agiation (over 80%) and despite of no report of long-term complication, agitation is a big issue in PACU for doctors and nurses. The investigators use dexmedetomidine for prevention of agiation of preschool aged children. The investigators expect single injection of dexmedetomidine lead to decrease postoperative agitation and pain without any complication like oculocardiac reflex requiring atopine for treatment.
There are several recommended doses of dexmedetomidine for prevention of emergence agitation in children. In this study, the investigators examine ED50 in prevention of emergence agitation after tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy in children.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether, in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, restless legs syndrome (RLS) can be caused by pinched and damaged foot nerves called neuromas.
- Adequate sedation is of paramount importance to avoid stress and pain in mechanically ventilated patients. It is usually achieved by infusing sedatives (benzodiazepine) and analgesic (opiate) drugs. - This combined sedation may not be sufficient in some instances. - The aim of this study is to evaluate whether addition of a third substance, ketamine, allows the achievement of better sedation and avoids the use of neuromuscular blocking agents.
