Anesthetics, cerebral protection and preconditioning.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several studies demonstrate that cerebral preconditioning is a protective mechanism against a stressful situation. Preconditioning determinants are described, as well as the neuroprotection provided by anesthetic and non-anesthetics agents. CONTENT Review based on the main articles addressing the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion and neuronal injury and pharmac...
متن کاملAnesthetics and cerebral metabolism.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review focuses on the utilization of the effects of general anesthetics on cerebral metabolism as revealed by imaging for therapeutic and preventive purposes, for understanding mechanisms of anesthetic action, and for elucidating mechanisms of cerebral processing in humans. RECENT FINDINGS General anesthetics suppress cerebral metabolism significantly. This effect has b...
متن کاملMyocardial protection with preconditioning.
Myocardial preconditioning with brief coronary artery occlusions before a sustained ischemic period is reported to reduce infarct size. To determine the number of occlusive episodes required to produce the preconditioning effect, we performed single or multiple occlusions of the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) followed by a sustained occlusion (60 minutes) of the LCx. Anesthetized dogs un...
متن کاملCardiac pharmacological preconditioning with volatile anesthetics: from bench to bedside?
A steadily increasing number of investigations demonstrate that preconditioning with volatile anesthetics attenuates the deleterious effects of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury by an ischemic preconditioning-like mechanism. Thus volatile anesthetics may represent the best choice for anesthesia of patients at risk for myocardial ischemia. However, factors such as old age, coexisting co...
متن کاملModification of cerebral ischemic damage by anesthetics.
The yield of infarcted hemispheres following unilateral carotid ligation in gerbils under ketamine anesthesia substantially exceeded that occurring under pentobarbital anesthesia. In addition to increasing the gerbil stroke model's efficiency, ketamine provided a shorter recovery period, thus allowing earlier observation of clinical signs of brain injury. These results support the contention th...
